Can’t Win Me Back

Justin tilted his chin upward slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold, ruthless glare that made him seem like an entirely different person.

"As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots. Ms. Gardner, are you trying to prove to me through your actions how impotent of a person you naturally are?"

"Mr. Justin, please calm down..." Sheryl flinched, her face marked with a handprint, her skin pale with fear as she trembled. "I know I'm not very bright. I honestly don't know what I did wrong. Please, enlighten me...

"When speaking with Jasper, all you need to do is to get the main point across. There is no need to get into the details."

Justin closed his eyes and leaned back casually. "Yet, tonight, you brought up the kidnapping incident from 20 years ago at a crucial point in my conversation with him. That was very untimely."

Feeling perplexed, Sheryl responded, "But... you saved his life. This is a fact. I was just reminding him of it so that he remembers to be thankful!*

Justin scoffed and narrowed his eyes. "Thankful? He has even forgotten about his feelings for Alyssa. Why would he care about what I did for him?

"Those three pills would cause him brain damage. This is a double-edged sword. He does not feel anything toward Alyssa. In the same way, he will not feel anything toward me either.

Jasper currently has doubts about me. Every word you say will plant seeds of doubt in his heart. I can let this incident slide this time, but from now on, do not bring up the incident from 20 years ago. We will get ourselves in trouble if we're not careful."
