Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1131

Just then, Jameson walked over slowly.

The moment he saw how close Jasper and Alyssa were, pain shot through his heart like bullets—so painful it was soul-crushing.

Jameson gripped tightly onto the railing, his other hand clutching his chest right above his heart. It hurt so much.

How could it hurt so badly?

"What's wrong, Mr. Schmidt? Are you feeling unwell?" Carl was shocked by this.

When he went to help support Jameson, the latter quickly shoved away.

"Scram! Don't touch me!" Jameson snarled.

"Y-Yes, sir." Carl ducked to the side. He glared at Jasper and Alyssa from a distance.

Carl would never complain about how Jameson treated him. He'd only blame Jasper Beckett for making Jameson's life a despairing one, for destroying Jameson's hard-to-come-by happiness.

"The injury on Blaze's left leg was man-made. It's a narrow and peculiar knife wound," Alyssa said.

She exhaled deeply as anger glinted in her eyes. "KS Group's horses are worth millions and are routinely checked every single day by experts. Our horse trainers would obviously be more meticulous on a race day. Yet that still couldn't stop devious persons from sneaking into the stables and hurting Blaze!"

While everyone was caught up in shock, Zoe alone glared hatefully at Alyssa.

The horse's injury had been a gesture too kind. It should've been cut right on Alyssa's face!

"Ms. Alyssa's analysis makes sense. Our stables are of professional standard and staffed with our people whom we can place trust in. This incident wouldn't have happened if someone hadn't intentionally plotted it," Josh said.

Zoe's heart leaped into her throat. She was so nervous she felt like vomiting.

"All the guests gathered here today are of noble, respectful class. They wouldn't go to the stables for no good reason. It'd be too obvious. If we exclude the Schmidts' staff, the only people who could've entered the horses' stables are the horse trainers and riders from the respective families. It's also possible that some of their trusted aides would have access as well," Alyssa concluded.

Alyssa was able to swiftly narrow down their target demographic with her keen intellect.

"In that case … Jonah!" Winston called out.

"Yes, Dad?" Jonah responded.

"Investigate according to what Lyse said. Don't let any of the staff whose masters have horses here off the hook!" Winston instructed. His shoulders were trembling slightly as he spoke.

It looked like Winston truly was enraged now.
