Can't Win Me Back

Jameson adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a sinister smirk playing on his lips as he heard Nicholas' confirmation. "Did you leave any traces?"

"As long as a crime is committed, there will always be traces. However, as long as there are no witnesses, there are no traces." Nicholas smiled gently. "Do you not trust me, Mr. Schimdt? I'm a professional." A crime committed by a seasoned criminal was terrifying. Even more so when the perpetrator was a veteran policeman with years of experience and professionalism in managing cases.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jameson had temporarily forgotten the grievance his wound had brought him. He smiled deeply. "You're so reliable, Chief Novak. Once I succeed, I assure you, you'll be handsomely rewarded."

"You're too kind. I'm willing to do anything as long as it guarantees the success of the new drug's development." Nicholas sounded sincere.

"Of course. Believe me, there's nothing I can't achieve."

After the call ended, Jameson stared at the black screen with a darkened expression. He silently scoffed.

"Unbelievable." Carl's eyes were filled with admiration. "A powerful police commissioner bowing to your will, willing to do your dirty work. You truly are a charismatic leader!"

"It's not my charisma. It's the allure of this new drug." He looked at the cloudy weather outside the window, a complex expression on his face. "He's not the only one. I'm also patiently waiting for the day to come."

A flame of hope ignited in his heart as he recalled the times he had sent the data to Mosgravia. "I can feel it coming soon. It's near..."

Then, he received another call.

It was Victor's head secretary.

The look in Jameson's eyes turned grim. He tugged on his tie and slowly answered, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Jameson, Mr. Victor wants you to meet him at the company this afternoon."

"Does it have to be today?" Jameson's frustration was palpable.

"It has to be today. This is Mr. Victor's order."

The secretary didn't wait for him to respond before hanging up coldly.

"How dare he use his position to push you around! That's rude!" Carl was furious, his fists clenched in anger.

"It's alright. He's all bark and no bite," Jameson replied coldly, a dark glint flickering in his eyes. "Looks like my father has a special present prepared for me."

Nathan was in trouble, so Marc, the leader of The Ivory Gang, spared no expense and hired the best attorney in the country to defend his godson, even though things were not in their favor. Despite their efforts, the media boldly reported the news, vilifying Nathan and painting him as an evil and murderous monster.

His tarnished reputation was one thing, but now it impacted The Ivory Gang significantly. Marc had spent years focusing on running legitimate businesses, and now all his hard work seemed to be in vain overnight.

After speaking with Nathan, the attorney looked worried when he met Jasper and Alyssa.

"The autopsy indicates the victim died from severe blunt force trauma to the head, but Mr. Nathan maintains he never touched the head, only punching the victim's face and kicking his stomach. He claims he wasn't aggressive.

"However, the reality greatly

contradicts Mr. Nathan's statement.

Additionally the alley only has

surveillance on one end and no witnesses. The evidence is heavily stacked against him, and the media portrayal is nothing short of brutal. Even a manslaughter charge could carry a harsh sentence, especially considering Mr. Nathan's past."

Alyssa's face hardened. "Did Mr. Nathan say why he beat the man?"

"His underlings were selling drugs. Mr. Nathan said you would understand if I mentioned drugs."

Drugs again the root of all evil! Solana City would be in utter chaos if they didn't eliminate the root cause.

"Drugs had pervasively infiltrated The Ivory Gang. If Nathan goes down, no one can stabilize the situation. Eventually, the drug will take control over The Ivory Gang."

Jasper's eyes were as dark as ink. "I suspect the person who targeted Nathan wants to take over The Ivory Gang and gain a foothold of Ivory Group. Nathan's existence was a roadblock, so they framed him using such malicious methods."

Alyssa gasped, her breath catching. "If that's the case, Mr. Marc is in danger! With Uncle Nathan arrested, Mr. Marc is left with Colene. The Ivory Gang's a mess. Colene had no choice but to show up and stabilize the situation."

"I would advise against Madam

Colene stepping in to help," Jasper

said, his voice deep. "Anyone

stepping n becomes a target. I tasked Xavier to look into the senior members of The Ivory Gang two days ago, and none of them turned out to be kind.

"Madam Colene may be Mr. Marc's daughter, but she has cut ties with The Ivory Gang a long time ago. She knows nothing about them. If she were to step in and help, it would only end badly for her." "Who would even think of doing that to Colene?" Alyssa's eyes widened with a fierce intensity. "Colene's got the KS Group and the Taylors behind her. Let them try laying a finger on her! I'll tear them limb from limb!"

The attorney was dumbfounded and trembled at Alyssa's outburst. He hadn't expected the elegant daughter of a rich man to have the spirit of a street fighter.

Jasper gently pulled her into his arms, love softening his gaze. "Lyse, I know your loved one is involved in this, so it's hard to remain calm. But think about it.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"With The Ivory Gang trending on public forums, Madam Colene showing up now would be a disaster. Malicious forces could use the online frenzy to their advantage and target the Taylors.

Alyssa bit her lip, her eyes blazing with determination. "We're a family. We have to go through this together, no matter how hard it is. We can't stand aside and do nothing!"

"Have you considered Madam

Colene's feelings?" Jasper asked, stroking her hair. "Why did she cut ties with her father to follow Winston? She was worried that The Ivory Gang would negatively affect the Taylors. If the Taylors are affected, guilt and pain will follow S her for the rest of her life."

Alyssa, feeling uncertain, was interrupted by a knock on the door, and Sean entered.
