Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Everyone, aren't you curious about what was just sent to all of you?" With a deep look in his eyes, Jasper squinted. He had a
playful look on his face that made everyone's heart race.
The people in the crowd looked at one another as they retrieved their phones to have a look.
Alyssa, too, was dying of curiosity. She also took out her cell and opened Twitter.
In the next second, her eyes widened, and her heart rate increased.
The entire competition was streamed live at such a grand horse racing event. Thus, the scene where she fell off her horse at the
finish line was spreading like wildfire on the internet.
The netizens were concerned about Alyssa's injury. However, they had all assumed that it was a mere accident. No one
imagined that it was a setup.
Lo and behold, the video that appeared on the internet unexpectedly revealed a big surprise to everyone!
"What ... What is this?" Cornelius's vision was blurry, so he wasn't able to get a good view of what had happened in the first
instance.
On the other hand, the others in the Harper family looked as if they were in ruins after a bombshell was dropped on them. Their
expressions were dark, and they panicked!
Zoe, the instigator of it all, inhaled sharply. Her hand trembled, and her cell phone fell onto the floor.
Even though the video was a little shaky, shockingly, it revealed Max looking left and right before creeping into the stables.

Then, he drew a dagger. In lightning speed, he slit a cut on Blaze's left leg, then exited the stables suspiciously.
The footage was filmed from the front of the stables, so Max's front profile could clearly be seen in the video.
That was solid proof. He had no way of denying it!
Jonah chuckled. "Now that it has come to this, what else do you have to say, Mr. Cornelius and Preston?"
His eyes had become bloodshot from the hatred he felt as he watched Blaze being hurt by a scum.
Earlier on, in light of the big picture, he could still keep his emotions in check. But he had just witnessed Blaze's strong and
beautiful leg being cruelly cut.
The visually and psychologically traumatic experience was a double whammy for him. It triggered the fiendish part of him inside.
Jonah was even tempted to pull his own cross dagger out. He wished that he could pull Max by the hair and slit his throat!
Cornelius and Preston looked terrible as if they had been caught red-handed. As much as they were arrogant earlier, they now
felt embarrassed.
They certainly couldn't claim that the person in the video was AI-generated! People weren't that dumb!
Xavier scoffed coldly, then focused Max's face on the screen.
Max could see that the cameras had fully captured him in the act from beginning to end. His face turned pale.
He shook his head continuously and mumbled, "How could this be ... I was sure that there were no cameras ... How could this be
..."

"Of course, we can only capture you with solid evidence. Mr. Beckett is brilliant and wise. He would never choose to fight a losing
battle, nor would he let you all read his moves."
Xavier noticed that Max looked lifeless, which made him secretly pleased.
Then, Cornelius and Preston had a realization.
The reason that Jasper waited till now to release the video was so that he could watch them struggle and clamor with all their
might. He had let them embarrass themselves in front of him.
Just a while ago, they were furious and fierce with their taunts. The moment when the truth was revealed, they were pretty much
slapped right in the face!
Alyssa gazed deeply at Jasper's handsome face. Her lips turned up into a smile. Her unsettled heart finally simmered down.
She should have known that Jasper was never someone who acted recklessly. He was a bosom friend with whom she could
share secrets and a comrade in arms. He was also her lover whom she could entrust her life with.
"I'm sure everyone, including Max himself, is very curious. That was the CCTV's blind spot. Wouldn't you want to know how this
video, which had such an incredible angle, was captured?"
Jasper gave Xavier a look. He then walked away for a moment.
Soon after, Xavier re-entered with a man who was wearing a horse riding outfit. He was also one of the contestants in this horse
racing event.
"Mr. Beckett," he greeted Jasper politely.
"I'm sorry to have to trouble you to come over to explain the situation in person. However, your testimony is crucial for me. I hope
that you'll understand," Jasper said in a courteous tone.
He didn't seem like he was the president of any organization at all.
