Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper's words snapped Alyssa out of her somber reverie.

Their minds couldn't help but gravitate toward that possibility, and the more they considered it, the more plausible and concerning it seemed.

"We've discussed this before. Preston and Zoe lack the capability to find such a skilled accomplice on their own. There must be someone behind the scenes aiding them."

Jasper's eyes gleamed with insight as he methodically analyzed, "What if it's Jameson seeking revenge? It's conceivable. Moreover, Cyrus mentioned earlier that the killer is likely a foreigner. Jameson has been in Kontina for years; it wouldn't be difficult for him to recruit assistance for Harper and Zoe."

"Revenge? If Jamiper wanted revenge, it should be directed at us. What does it have to do with Landon and Lauren?" Alyssa's frustration bubbled to the surface. "Does he have nothing better to do than meddle in the Harper Group's affairs?"

"Lauren is my sister, and Landon is like a brother to me," Jasper replied, his voice tinged with suppressed anger and loathing. "Now, do you understand, Lyse?"

Aware of Lauren's presence, he tempered his words, though his emotions simmered beneath the surface.

Jameson was a deceitful manipulator, a predator masquerading as a friend, and a malevolent force lurking in the shadows. It seemed plausible that he would seek revenge on those close to Jasper, since he couldn't directly target him.

Jameson was acutely aware that Lauren held the highest place in Landon's heart. Deliberately, he entrusted the knife to the Harpers, intending to wield it as a weapon to shatter the bond between Landon and Lauren. He wanted Jasper's loved ones to experience the pain of losing someone dear.
