Jasper and Alyssa were utterly shocked. They helped Clarissa up from the ground immediately. "Please get up, Ms. Sparks! Don't do this!"
As Clarissa's older brother, Hendrix's heart ached for her. He, too, tried to help her up.
"Ms. Alyssa… Thank you… Thank you very much…"
Clarissa's voice was breaking from all that crying. She spoke incoherently. "The favor that you've done for my father… I will pay you back with my life…"
Alyssa shook her head gently. "You don't have to pay anything back to me. I just hope that you can free yourself from Josh and the Schmidts. That is the outcome that I wish for the most."
…
Oscar was transferred to the VIP ward for observation.
In the lounge next door, the Sparks siblings sat across from Jasper and Alyssa.
Clarissa had her eyes lowered as she rolled up her sleeve with her shaking hands.
When Hendrix saw the scars that covered her arms, he lost it. He enveloped Clarissa in his arms and started crying his eyes out.
"It's alright, Hendrix. It's all over," Clarissa consoled him with a relaxed smile on her face.
Now that Oscar's surgery was successful, she had nothing else to worry about. She had decided to give her all. She was choosing to walk out of darkness and into the light.
Clarissa took out a brown envelope and put it on the table. "This envelope contains some evidence that I have gathered. It includes evidence of Josh embezzling the corporation's funds, giving and receiving bribes, and him using the Bright Scholarship Foundation under the Schmidt Group to launder money."
Hendrix looked serious and furious at the same time. "I can testify that during my time working at Schmidt Group's legal department, Josh asked me to go through loopholes in the law to embezzle funds for his own profit. This happened more than once.
"I can't believe that he even abused Clarissa… I don't care if I end up being imprisoned or losing my reputation. I will stand up and testify against him! I have to avenge Clarissa!"
"Hendrix…" Clarissa choked on her tears. She felt terrible.
Nonetheless, she was well aware that the Sparks and the Schmidts were in-laws. It was inevitable that both parties would end up hurt through this dreadful fight.
Alyssa held her hand tightly. She didn't blame her at all. "Maggie was a victim, and so were you. You were living in darkness. You have given your all to protect yourself and your family. You've really done your best. If I were you, I would've probably crumbled long ago."
"It was a pity that I didn't record what he said at the time." Clarissa was filled with regret.
"Even if you had recorded it, it wouldn't be of much use."
Jasper put down the documents in his hand. His eyes were glum as he shared his analysis calmly. "Firstly, a recording taken without consent cannot be presented as evidence in court.
"Secondly, Maggie didn't die, and she is now safe and sound. That means that Josh could even strike back by suing you for false accusations and defamation.
"There's another problem, which is the evidence of his crimes. To the scion of Schmidt Group, one of the four wealthiest corporations, these are not impactful enough to go against him.
"Josh is Victor's eldest son. Although Victor's eyes are on Jameson now, he will not give up on him that easily. No matter what happens, he will do all he can to cover for him.
"Using what we have on hand can result in him being sentenced, but it's highly probable that it would just be done as a formality. Once they get an A-class team of attorneys to take his case, I reckon that he'll get a maximum of two years before he ends up being released."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
