Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Five days later, Jasper called his secretary, Xavier Hall, to his office.

“How is the investigation on Alice White going?”

Jasper looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows at Solana City. His tall, upright figure projected an overbearing silhouette.

“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Beckett. There isn’t any progress,” Xavier nervously reported.

“After Madam Alice left that night, she didn’t return to the sanatorium where she worked. I even went to her address only to find out that it was fake. There weren’t any families with the last name White in that area.”

“The address is fake?” Jasper was shocked. He finally turned to look at Xavier, his gaze oppressive.

“Yes. I went to the local police station to check things out, but there is no such person.” Xavier had addressed her as Madam Alice for three years. It was hard for him to change this habit.

Jasper was stunned. Who did he marry? Was she a spy?

“She left with Jonah Taylor that night. There’s nothing related to him?”

“To be honest, if Mr. Taylor deliberately hid the fact that he had a new lover, it would be hard for us to find any clues.”

When Jasper heard that, he raised his brows in anger. “Jonah Taylor looks like a gentleman with good manners. How could he do such a despicable thing like stealing someone’s wife?”

“Well … He’s not really stealing. He’s just taking over the duties …”

Instantly, Jasper glared at him, so Xavier dared not speak another word.

Jasper couldn’t forget the scene of that night, when Jonah was so protective of Alice. He was unsure why, but he had a suffocating feeling in his heart.

His wife had always been dull. Also, Jonah was famous in their circle for being a ruthless and cold man. So how did she manage to attract an indifferent guy like Jonah to protect her?
