Can't Win Me Back

The wind whistling past on the rooftop seemed to transform into invisible blades.

"Of course," Nicholas replied in a low voice, without any unnecessary words.

Having been in office for many years, he understood the principle of speaking according to the situation well.

He knew that speaking too much often led to mistakes, especially when facing the woman before him, whom he recognized as no ordinary person. Alyssa was courageous and possessed the intelligence of a shrewd strategist.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After all, she was the woman Jameson deeply loved.

"In that case, we share the same goals. We shouldn't be enemies but comrades fighting side by side." Alyssa smiled faintly.

"Ms. Alyssa, I don't feel I need to fight side by side with you."

Nicholas' eyes turned cold. "You're a magnate, and I'm a public servant. Our paths should diverge. But regardless, thank you for saving my wife. I'll repay this kindness in the future. If not, perhaps in the next life."

Alyssa frowned.

"I need to go back to take care of my wife. You can stay here if you want to," Nicholas said expressionlessly before turning to leave.

But at this moment, Alyssa's voice cut through the air like a sudden chill.

"Chief Novak, you claim to be a public servant, but why do your actions go against the interests of the people?"

Nicholas stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around.

"I know Jameson is behind you." Alyssa's eyes were sharp. She let her hair dance freely in the wind.

Nicholas' pupils contracted sharply. "Ms. Alyssa, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"I have no intention of threatening you. It's not my place to judge the right and wrong of your actions. That's for the people and the law to decide."

Since the conversation had come to this, Alyssa spoke openly, "I'm here to tell you that you're digging your own grave by aligning yourself with Jameson. Even if you're willing to sacrifice yourself, don't you care about Mrs. Novak?

"Everything you've done has been for

her. Jameson is capable of killing and framing even his own family. You, who have no ties to him, are just a pawn he could dispose of at any moment. If you lose your usefulness to him, he might even eliminate you to silence you.

"None of his promises will be kept, and your family won't be treated well. My family has been friends with the Schmidt family for generations. I've faced him countless times. No one knows his cunning and methods better than I do."

Despite Alyssa's earnest persuasion, Nicholas remained unmoved.

Alyssa suddenly felt that Nicholas was even sicker than Natalie. He had almost been completely brainwashed by Jameson.

As Nicholas was about to reach the door, Alyssa's clear and sharp voice rang out from behind him once again.

"Everything you've done is for the successful development of a new drug to cure your wife's illness. But have you ever considered that the so-called new drug is nothing but a complete scam? It's simply impossible to develop such a drug.

"If it were possible, why has

Lovelace Pharmaceuticals been researching for years with no progresszeven with government,

support? Do they lack sufficient net

experimental data? Do they not have enough samples? This project has been a pipe dream from the start! At least, that's how it seems now."

Though Nicholas didn't turn around, his rigid back betrayed his tension.

Alyssa's gaze darkened. Finally, she revealed her last card.

She retrieved a prepared drug analysis report from her pocket and unfolded it before him.

"Here is the drug analysis report. This so-called new drug has no clear therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's. At best, it's just a mental suppressant, and it's highly addictive.

"Do you think Lovelace Group

couldn't develop it? If it were

possible, this drug would have been on the market long ago. From the start, Jameson was just using you to clear obstacles. Even if this drug is successfully developed one day, can Mrs. Novak wait for that day?"

"Ms. Alyssa, are you cursing my wife?" Nicholas' voice was hoarse and tinged with a hint of killing intent.

"I just want you to see Jameson for who he really is and to see the truth!"

Alyssa's voice grew hoarse. She stared at him unwaveringly. "You did all that before because Jameson tricked you, but if you still stick with that devil even after I've told you all this, then you're just fooling yourself!"

She knew that the lofty words spoken in the name of the people were no longer effective.
