Can't Win Me Back

Only by appealing to his interests could Nicholas possibly be moved.

Alyssa stepped closer to Nicholas and slipped the report into his pocket before walking away without looking back.

In the chilly wind, Nicholas trembled as he retrieved the paper. After reading it, he tore it up slowly and let the shreds scatter in the wind.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Nicholas pressed it to his ear. "Yes, Carl."

Nicholas took a deep breath. His gaze was dark. "Okay."

At 7:00 pm, Marc, accompanied by Colene and Matilda, arrived at KS World Hotel and held the press conference as scheduled despite his deteriorating health.

He disclosed all the recent events of the Ivory members being manipulated by drugs and urged everyone to stay away from such dangerous substances, warning of the risks to life.

"I'll fully cooperate with the police investigation. And I support the police in thoroughly searching all Ivory members for any hidden drugs and punishing them severely! As the chairman of Ivory Group, I bear full responsibility and am ready to face all legal consequences!"

But the woman didn't move.

Frowning, Aidan reached out to shake her awake.

As soon as he touched her skin, his expression froze. The woman's body was cold to the touch.

Aidan immediately turned on the bedside lamp to check on her.

Although he had long since given up practicing medicine for business, coming from a family with a medical background, he still had some knowledge.
