Can't Win Me Back

"Let's have a chat," Alyssa suggested.

The sensor lights in the hospital stairwell didn't light up. Only a green glow from the emergency exit sign illuminated the stairwell.

Alyssa and Jameson faced one another in the dim stairwell. The atmosphere around them was extremely icy.

"It's been a long time since we last met at the Harper family's funeral, Lyse. How have you been?" Jameson was bright-eyed. He took a step closer to her.

Alyssa took a step back. She gave him a cold smile. "Did you think that everything you did was flawless, Jameson? Do you feel like you are the smartest person in the world and that you can get a grasp over everyone else?

"Did you think I am completely oblivious to your collusion with Lovelace Group's Aidan Lovelace and the things you've done to The Ivory Gang members?"

She only mentioned Aidan and not Nicholas because she wanted to save him for the future when he could be a breakthrough for Amber.

Moreover, Jameson was a vicious man. If he found out that Nicholas had been exposed, he would likely get rid of him in the first instance. That was equivalent to destroying important evidence!Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"I know that you don't like me, Lyse. But you've really misunderstood me."

Jameson gazed deeply at Alyssa. He had seen her face a million times. Yet, he was still moved by her appearance. He curled the corners of his lips slightly.

In a warm voice, he continued, "All interactions I have with the Lovelace family are for legal business reasons. I've now taken over Schmidt Group entirely. I, too, hope to expand into the medical world and build hospitals and pharmaceutical factories.

"I was in contact with Mr. Lovelace only for business negotiations. As for The Ivory Gang you mentioned, their leader, Mr. Nathan, got in trouble and was locked up. There is chaos within the gang right now. These are all that I know."

"Yes, you and Aidan are doing business together. The business that you're doing together is to use live humans as test subjects for drug experiments!"

Alyssa was burning with rage. She took out the bag of blue pills from her shirt pocket and hurled it at Jameson's face. "The Ivory Gang's members are your lab rats.

"The reason you chose them was because you packaged the medication into drugs and sold them to people of the underworld. Even if the authorities were to find them, you would be able to push the blame onto The Ivory Gang and remove yourself from the picture completely!"

Jameson lowered his eyes. He bent down slowly and picked up the bag of pills from the ground.

He looked back up at Alyssa. His eyes showed no sign of rage, only his deep, affection for her. He couldn't control how he was head over heels in love with her. He only had eyes for her.

She deserved to be the woman whom he loved all his life. She was brilliant.

Despite that, he knew that he had to be careful. Alyssa could be crafty. What if she carried a recording pen with her?

"I really don't know what you're talking about, Lyse."

While maintaining the smile on his face, he stuffed the bag of pills into his suit pocket.

This action had given Alyssa a clear answer.

Alyssa took a deep breath. She decided to start negotiating with him. "What will it take to make you stop, Jameson?"

She knew that he had lost control

and gone beyond all moral

boundaries. Even so, she wanted to

see for herself and find out how

for

cruel a person could be. It would be

an eye-opener for her.

There was a loud wham.

Jameson's left arm was tensed up. He had slammed his left hand on the wall right next to Alyssa's head and trapped her between himself and the wall behind her. His chest rose and fell as he breathed heavily.

Alyssa's pupils constricted. Her gaze was frigid, yet fearless.

Although they were so close to one another, she wasn't afraid of Jameson doing anything to her.

If he dared to touch her, she would whip her butterfly knife out and cut off his limbs!

"You need to be part of the solution."

Even though no one else was

around them Jameson spoke in a

voice so low that it was audible only to them. He said in a hoarse and gentle voice, "Leave Jasper and be with me, Lyse. I promise to become the same Jimmy whom you remember."
