Can't Win Me Back

Even though the keyword "human experimentation" had been blocked, the public still managed to bring the hashtag back to the top of the trending list in another way. They refused to let it quietly fade away. The hashtag continued to trend, causing one of the participants, Aidan, to panic and immediately contact Jameson.

"Jameson! What the hell is going on? Didn't you say it was just a popular soft drug from abroad? How did it suddenly become an untested banned drug?"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Having faced humiliation from Sheryl and being unable to reach Justin, Jameson now had to deal with Aidan's frantic inquiries. He had the urge to take out a machine gun and randomly kill people on the

streets.

But he had to endure it.

He rose from being a forsaken outcast of the Schmidt family to forging his own path in Kontina. Now, thousands bowed before him. His success stemmed from his boldness, astuteness, and ability to remain composed under pressure.

Jameson downed an entire glass of whisky and gasped for breath before finally managing a smirk. "Why the panic? It's just baseless rumors from the media. Didn't Solana Daily take down its post?" "But it's still trending! People are still going crazy discussing it online. We can't delete the posts fast enough!"

Aidan was losing it. "Jameson! Tell me! Are you really using me for drug experiments? Are you trying to screw me and Lovelace Group over? We're a top pharmaceutical company in the country!

"If the authorities can't handle the public pressure and intensify their investigation, they'll soon trace it back to me! When the truth comes out, my family will be the ones taking the blame! And you'll walk away unscathed!"

Without replying, Jameson narrowed his eyes and smirked.

This time, Aidan hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, he was already deep in the game and had to see it through. There was no turning back now.

"Jameson... If the police really come after me, I'll definitely expose you! Don't think about shifting the blame onto me!"

"Oh, please, the chances of your worst fears coming true are slim to none. My network has infiltrated every corner of Solana City's official circles. This matter will be buried. By the way, how's Lovelace Group's financial situation?"

His words left Aidan dumbfounded. "W-What are you talking about?"

Jameson's eyes flashed with a cold gleam. His every gesture oozed confidence in his imminent victory.

"Lovelace Group has poured all its resources into developing a new drug to combat Alzheimer's,

neglecting all other projects. But progress has been far from smooth in recent years. The government is now reluctant to provide further funding.

"With your dad's investments facing setback after setback and hundreds of millions of dollars in losses still unaccounted for, Lovelace Group's new drug project could be halted at any moment.

"You don't want years of hard work to go to waste, do you? That's why you thought about partnering with me to sell this drug, so you can earn some quick cash and support

Lovelace Group."

There was a saying, "In life, every favor comes with a cost." Ill-gotten gains would have a way of turning against their owner.

"Mr. Aidan, making money isn't something to be ashamed of. In this day and age, money comes first."

Jameson's eyes were unnervingly deep. "You've boarded this ship already. There's no turning back now. You might as well play along for the sake of your dad and family."

Jameson's persuasive words temporarily calmed Aidan's nerves.

"Come to Schmidt Group's new resort this weekend to relax, and we can discuss what's next."

Aidan, plagued by anxiety over the drug experiment, agreed to Jameson's invitation without much thought.

After Jameson hung up the phone, Carl immediately approached. "It's time to get ready, Mr. Schmidt."

"I must not get caught in this fire. Otherwise..."

Jameson's broad shoulders trembled slightly, as if he could feel the icy chill of impending doom. "I have a feeling that if this fails again, Mr. Justin will completely abandon me."
