Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Jasper, you're really vile!" Jameson clenched his teeth. His bloody lips were quivering.

"Vile? I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

Jasper narrowed his eyes. "Jameson, everyone knows how to play dirty tricks and stab someone else from the back. I just don't think that it's worth my effort to attack you like that. I don't wish to become a vicious viper just like you.

"However, my condition is that you are not to touch Lyse or her loved ones. Otherwise, I will not hold back in the future. I will hit you 100 times harder than I did today. I will get my revenge on you."

Jasper didn't wait for Jameson to respond. Upon saying that, he turned around elegantly and waltzed away.

"Mr. Schmidt! I... I'll call for backup immediately! We have to avenge you!" Carl had never seen Jameson being humiliated like that. He was so mad that he was about to cry.

Jameson was trembling all over. He spat on the ground.

Something fell onto the ground—a tooth! His left front tooth had fallen out! Jasper had indeed been ruthless with his punch.

"Even if you were to call ten fighters here, they won't be able to beat him."

Jameson mustered all his energy to get back to his feet. Suddenly, he lifted the corner of his lip into a sly smile. He looked terrifying. It was as if he had just crawled out from the abyss.
