Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2151-Alyssa sped away from Heightsnew Villa toward Solana City Investigative Bureau after hearing the news. Her striking Lamborghini came to a graceful stop at the bureau's entrance. As Alyssa stepped out of the car, she paused.

"Jasper?"

Jasper stood tall and imposing, wrapped in a black coat, beside a modest Maybach parked under a tree. The biting wind did nothing to diminish his statuelike presence. He had clearly been waiting for her. Without hesitation, Jasper hurried toward Alyssa. "Are you cold, Lyse?" He quickly removed his coat and wrapped it around her. Still, he thought it was insufficient, pulling her into a tight embrace. "The car's heating was strong. I'm not cold," Alyssa replied.

Concerned, she cupped his icy face with her warm hands. "Silly, I should be

asking you. Why wait outside in this cold? You could've waited in the car The wind is freezing. Did you think it was funny?"

"I wanted to see you as soon as you arrived," Jasper said, his eyes filled with longing as he kissed her palm. "Besides, have you forgotten my military past?

I've endured temperatures below 20 degrees. This is nothing compared to that."

Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears as she recalled when they fought alongside one another. Her paralyzed pinky finger twitched subtly.

Shortly after, Silas arrived breathlessly, looking dashing in his court attire. "You look really cool, Silas!" Alyssa exclaimed.

Jasper agreed with a smile. "Indeed."

Alyssa gave Jasper's hand a squeeze as she playfully narrowed her eyes at him. "Oh? You're not jealous?"

She teased, "You used to have such a competitive streak, always needing to outshine everyone, regardless of whether they were close friends or acquaintances. You'd get uneasy whenever I complimented someone else and quickly make yourself noticed. Now that we've been together for so long, are you feeling less of a need to compete?"

Jasper turned his head and kissed her cheek. "I've realized it's not about competition anymore. Back then, I acted out of insecurity."

"You were?"

"I worried wasn't worthy of being with you and that someone else might take my place. My insecurity was so overwhelming it often robbed me of sleep."

Alyssa pouted. "So now that you've won me over, you're complacent? Does it not bother you anymore?"

"No," Jasper said, his gaze filled with deep affection. He slipped his hand into his coat, giving her rear a tight squeeze, causing her to shudder.

He continued, "I've come to realize it doesn't matter how many people are drawn to you or if you ever change your mind about us. I'll always love and protect you. My heart will always be with you, even if we ever part ways. Once I understood that, everything fell into place

True love wasn't about possession or fear of loss. It was about allowing the other person to experience the world freely and innocently, like a child.

Alyssa leaned on his shoulder,

feeling safe and warm. But a new fear crept into her heart. She knew Jasper would always love her, but what if she lost him when their love was at its peak?

Silas interrupted their moment. "Sorry for the wait. Have you been waiting long?"

"We just arrived," Jasper replied. He opened the car door, kegpingrant arm around Alyssa. "Let's talk in the car, Silas.

"

The trio settled into the car, where the warmth of the interior contrasted with the tension lingering in the air.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2152-Silas, you said that Jameson committed murder? What's that about?" Alyssa couldn't wait to find out.

This afternoon, I went and conducted a search at Schmidt Group, which included a search of Jarneson's office. I found a pinhole camera in one of the books on a bookshelf." Silas couldn't hide the tremble in his voice. He was still stirred up, even until now.

Jasper and Alyssa exchanged shocked glances.

"Was Jameson the one who set it up?* Alyssa asked, her eyes blazing. "He's a wicked man with many evil schemes. He might have been surveilling himself

while monitoring his office. 'That way, if he got dirt on a corporation's executive, he could blackmail them. It's his usual tactic, she continued.

"That might not be the case," Silas said, steadying his breath. With a stern look, he explained, 'I brought the camera back and reviewed the footage immediately.

Guess what I found?"

Alyssa was like a cat on hot bricks. "C'mon, Silas. Quit building the suspense.

Tell us!

"The footage shows the entire sequence from Mr. Victor's heart attack to his death in the office!" Silas revealed.

Jasper and Alyssa exclaimed in unison, "What?"

Silas pulled out his phone, played the video, and showed it to them.

The video captured everything-Victor and Jameson's interaction, confrontation, and Jameson watching as his father collapsed in front of him. He even took away Victor's medication and simply watched him die.

The camera had recorded Jameson's incriminating words, providing concrete evidence against him.

'I'll only give you one option. You will draft an official statement that you are retiring because of your health. And then, you will name me as the chairman of Schmidt Group.

"If you disagree, I will broadcast this video outside of Schmidt Group's building and ensure every one of its tens of thousands of employees sees it by tomorrow moming."

Finally, the footage showed Victor's limbs going stiff, and his face went pale as he died right before Jameson.

Alyssa's eyes widened. She was overwhelmed. Not because she hadn't seen a dead man but because Victor was once Winston's close friend and an elder with whom she used to have a close relationship. Watching him die so helplessly made her feel terrible.

Jasper embraced Alyssa, his voice deep. With this evidence, can we prosecute Jameson for murder?

"We can't charge him with leaving someone to die. But the video recorded his threatening conversation with Mr. Victor before he died. That's a crime of omission. We can prosecute Jameson and prevent him from roaming free,"

Silas explained.

'That's great! Let's get an arrest warrant," Alyssa said, hope reignited.

This pinhole camera was likely installed by Mr. Victor himself. Jameson probably didn't know about it."Jasper sighed deeply. "Mr. Victor was aware of his declining health and probably installed the camera as a precaution, not expecting it to capture evidence of his own murder. It's tragic that he died this way."

Silas, conflicted, added, "At least Mr.

Victor can rest knowing his murderer won't escape justice its better than seeing jameson death without facing any consequences."

Alyssa lowered her eyes, shaking her head. Despite the increased chance of legal action against Jameson she felt no joy. She wondered how different things might have been if Jameson and Lily hadn't faced such unfair treatment in the Schmidt family. Would all these tragic events still happen?

Would things have turned out differently if Jameson had grown up in a loving family?

Perhaps he would have remained the gentle Jimmy of his youth.

Just then, Alyssa's phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Miley calling.

Her heart raced as she answered, putting the call on speaker. "Miley, do you have any news for us?"

"Lyse, I've had my agents check all the ports and airports in Kontina."

They found ameson's private plane.

at Newant Airport in the capital!"

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2153-'Damn, Miley, you're amazing!" Silas exclaimed before Alyssa could say a word.

"The women in our family are truly amazing!"

"S-Silas? I didn't realize you were here too, Miley said, surprised.

"I think it's a waste of your talent as First Lady to be looking into someone like Jamiper," Silas remarked.

"Don't say that, Silas," Miley replied with a soft laugh. "Honestly, I didn't do much. It was mostly thanks to the clues Lyse provided. I just followed up on them. It wasn't a big deal.

I've been overseas with Jeremy for years dealing with the country's affairs, and I rarely get to see you all. It's nice to be able to help from here and feel connected to you again."

Her words brought tears to the Taylor siblings eyes.

Thank you very much, Miley." Jasper's voice, gentle as a soft breeze, brushed against Alyssa's ears, bringing a flush to her cheeks. "Once this is resolved, Lyse and I will visit you and Jeremy in Kontina."

"Oh, hello, Jasper. For some reason, having you there makes me feel more at ease," Miley said, relieved.

Silas pouted. Despite being the older sibling, he felt he wasn't as reliable as his younger sister's boyfriend. "What do you mean, Miley? Does Jasper make you feel more at ease than me?"

"I used to feel at ease with you, but things are different now. You've found the love of your life," Miley said with a tone of elder wisdom. Years in politics by her husband's side had made her behave more independently than most. Because of this, people tend to forget that she was only in her 20s.

"I met Ms. Emerson in Bernardia. You two seem very much in love. I assume she'll be joining our family soon?" Miley guessed.

Silas choked on his saliva when he heard that his face flushed with a blissful red. "Indeed, Rose is my beloved."

"You love Lyse, but you can't juggle two loves simultaneously. It's only natural for you to focus on Ms. Emerson now, meaning you won't be as concerned toward Lyse as you used to, Miley spoke seriously.

Miley continued, "Although we are siblings, we can't be with Lyse forever.

Jasper is the one who can stay by her side for the rest of their lives."

"Miley…" Alyssa was deeply moved, intertwining her fingers with Jasper's.

'Don't worry about Lyse. I'll protect her," Jasper promised, pressing his forehead against Alyssa's.

"Thope you both marry and find happiness after this is over. Don't get yourselves involved in such dangerous matters again," Miley said sternly.

"Jameson has a tight grip here. He's bribed former presidents and is capable of anything," Miley continued. "Jeremy and I have always fought against his authority. If not for Jeremy's powerful position, he might have been killed without anyone knowing."

Alyssa's deep-seated hatred for Jameson was invoked once again. "That is why we must fight him until the end. No matter where he escapes, even to the moon, we must make him pay the price!"

"Even though we've ascertained that he's in Kontina right now, it won't be easy to arrest him. His connections at Kontina are far and wide. He has numerous subordinates following and protecting him, making it difficult for all of you to get close to him.

'Moreover, our country doesn't have any extradition laws with Kontina. Even if Cyrus sends his men to arrest him, or if Jeremy makes a way for all of you, I wouldn't be surprised if you all end up being hindered on all fronts."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

'We're at the final stage of our fight against him. There's no other choice, Miley,"

Alyssa said with a determined gaze. "Even if it takes everything I have, Jameson must face the death penalty for his past crimes!"

The cold night was silent and menacing.

Jameson had reached his hideout in Kontina but soon realized he was in even greater danger -a trap he had set for himself.

Perhaps it was because of this stressful ordeal, on top of the extreme exhaustion and worry that Jameson ended up being admitted to a hospital not long after his return to Kontina. In addition to the tremors, he also threw up blood, indicating his condition had worsened since his hospitalization in Solana City.

In the dead of night, he lay in bed, sweating and struggling to sleep. The medications he took were causing severe stomach pain.

It hit Jameson that he'd witnessed Justin on numerous occasions taking a comparable amount of medication.

Jameson's body was crumbling under the strain of the drugs, while Justin had withstood years of this ordeal. How had he endured such prolonged suffering?

He would rather die himself.

The hospital room door opened quietly, causing Jameson to become alert. He slowly reached under his pillow, sensing danger.

Whoever it was wasn't Carl. Carl would knock and ask for permission before entering, but this person was acting suspiciously.

A possibility dawned upon Jameson. This person was likely someone who wanted him dead!

The intruder moved stealthily, pulling out a silenced gun and aiming it at Jameson.

Two shots rang out, followed by a pained cry that shattered the night's silence.

The assassin's gun wielding arm and right leg were struck. He crumpled to his knees with a thud. jameson, already standing on his bed, glared down at him, his imposing figure casting a menacing shadow.

"Mr. Schmidt!" Carl, drenched in sweat, burst in with his subordinates. Relief washed over him upon seeing Jameson unharmed.

The assassin had been taken down on the spot. He knelt before Jameson.

'Who sent you? Tell me, and I will let you live," Jameson demanded.

The assassin stammered a name, revealing a key decision-maker m Jameson had been Supporting in Kontina after the former's return to Solana City.

"Okay, got it.' In the next second, Jameson pulled the trigger. The assassin was shot right in his forehead and died instantly.

"Dispose of the body and clean this up before dawn," Jameson ordered, donning his gold framed glasses with a relaxed air. "'ve been back only a few days, and already, some are eager to take my place."

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2154-Carl stared at the body lying in a pool of blood.

Cold sweat drenched him, and fear shook his frame.

"You're already under attack after just a few days back.What should our next move be?

“Don't worry," Jameson replied.

"Before I die, I'll drag these foolish, greedy idiots to hell with me."

As the words left his lips, Jameson was startled.

His eyes held an infinitely dark and cold intensity.

He'd uttered "hell" without conscious thought, as if prophesying his own fate.

Did he believe his hands were so stained with blood and evil that hell was his only destination? In the silence, Jameson's phone rang.

He turned away from Carl and his subordinates, facing the desolate moon outside the window and answered the call.

"Go ahead."

“Mr.Schmidt, things look bad for you here," his informant said, his voice heavy with gloom.

It was as if Jameson's reign had ended, and there was no chance of recovery.

"It is what it is. How bad can it get? Just get to the point."

Jameson let out a few dry coughs, his pale face etched with loneliness.

"The prosecution has searched the entire Schmidt Group. Mr. Baird and the head of the Finance Department have been taken in for further interrogation.

“They're a bunch of opportunists and aren't trustworthy at all.Now that you've lost your power, it won't be long before they spill everything they know."

“Like you said, they aren't trustworthy.Besides, they're just puppets.They've never been truly involved with the core of Schmidt Group.They won't be able to spill anything."

Jameson's coughing worsened.

Carl hurried over with a handkerchief.

Jameson covered his mouth, coughing violently.

Returning the handkerchief, Carl glanced at it, and his pupils constricted in shock —fresh blood stained the creamy white fabric.

Carl dared not say a thing.He forced himself to hold back his emotions, stuffing the handkerchief into his pocket with shaky hands.

"There's more," the informant continued.

"Solana City police force has issued a nationwide warrant for your arrest."

“What did you say?"

Jameson held his breath.

There was a metallic taste at the back of his throat.

“I don't know why, but they linked you to Mr.Victor's death.They must have found crucial evidence to get an arrest warrant."

The informant paused, then probed, "Mr.Schmidt, did Mr.Victor's death really have something to do with you?"

Jameson closed his eyes, tears welling up.

The memory of Victor's heart attack and subsequent death flashed before him.He chuckled bitterly.

"What if I was? Countless people have died by my hand.One more doesn't matter."

With Carl's help, Jameson sat back on the bed.

"Our country has no extradition treaty with Kontina.This is my territory.They can't arrest me."

"But don't forget, two powerful people in Solana City want you dead.If they join forces with Kontina's police, you'll be in serious trouble."

The mention of Alyssa caused a sharp pain in Jameson's heart.

"I know.Thanks for the warning.Your services are no longer needed.Stop monitoring Solana City.Unless something unexpected happens, I won't return."

"Mr.Schmidt…"

“You've been loyal to me, so [‘ll make it worth your while.I'll have Carl transfer a large sum to your mother.It's enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

As Jameson prepared to hang up, the informant said, "Mr.Schmidt!

Everyone says you're evil, that your killed your brothers and father. Even your childhood friend, Ms. Alyssa, turned against you. But I know you're not truly wicked. People will understand your actions if they know what you've been through."

“You're wrong," Jameson replied, tears glistening in his eyes.

He forced a laugh.

'I am evil, sinister, and egotistical. I killed my brothers and father I'm am gutter rat a viber in the dark. I've always been alone and don't need anyone's understanding. Goodbye.

With that, Jameson ended the call and turned off his phone.

"Mr. Schmidt,"

Carl said, "Kontina's president is Alyssa's brother- in-law. If they cooperate to apprehend you, you'll be in a dire situation.

Don't forget how we struck Jeremy in the past. He almost died in our hands. He's been waiting for revenge. Now that you're vulnerable, the president and First Lady will seize this chance to strike."

Carl looked at Jameson, still sitting tall despite his serious illness.His heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

"You should perhaps leave Kontina as soon as possible."

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2155-"It doesn't matter where I go.I'd rather die than run and hide like a coward,"

Jameson declared.

He didn't need anyone to understand him.

Jameson no longer sought Alyssa's forgiveness.

Since she couldn't forgive him, he might as well become a villain she'd never forget.

After everything, Amber returned to Kontina, where she and Jameson had met.

She was back in the manor where she used to live.

Nothing had changed except her.

Battered, bruised, and emotionally numb, she felt like she was living in a dream.

Amber was confined to the manor for over a week But she didn't idle her time away.

Instead, she secretly searched the manor for the evidence Carl had hidden of Jameson's crimes.

Carl didn't have his guard up against her.

With no restrictions on her access to the study, she explored every corner, even searching Carl's computer.

Yet, she found nothing.

One evening, after showering, Amber sat at her vanity, combing her dark, silky hair, when a helper called from outside.

"Ms.Altman?"

With a cold gaze, Amber asked, "What is it?"

"Mr.Moses is back.He wants you in the study."

Amber looked at her pale, gaunt reflection, tightening her grip on the comb until] the teeth left red marks on her fingers.

She then wrapped her robe around her tightly and slowly got to her feet.

As Amber reached the study door, she heard clattering inside.

Her heart pounded as she pushed the door open slightly and peered in.

Carl was there, his white shirt and cheeks stained with blood.

With a furious expression, he filled a large box with valuables.

It looked like he was about to flee.

“Carlton, what happened? Why are you covered in blood?"

Amber pushed open the door, feigning concern.

She couldn't care less, but she had to act.

Carl relaxed slightly at the sight of her but couldn't hide his panic.

"Thelped Mr.Schmidt deal with some people tonight."

"who?" Carl coldly named a few people.

Amber's eyes widened.

She knew them.

They were Jameson's trusted subordinates in Kontina.

After he returned to Solana City, they handled his business.

These men were used to acting like tyrants, and now that their boss had returned, they probably had thoughts of retaliation.

“Everything should be fine since it's been dealt with, right? But what are you doing?"

"Kontina is no longer safe, Amber.We need to leave immediately," Carl declared.

He reached into his shirt and pulled out a cross necklace.

Amber recognized the cross.

However, she never imagined it hid a USB flash drive.

Carl plugged the USB into his computer and started working quickly seemingly transferring or organizing something.

Amber stared at him, her heart racing.

She finally understood why her search was fruitless.

Carl had carried the evidence with him all along.

He was incredibly cautious.

'The authorities in Cyrris are working with Kontina's police to apprehend Mr. Schmidt. We can't hide after tonight's events; the police will be onto us soon," Carl said, his eyes fixed on Amber.

"We need to leave here as soon as possible. Mr.Schmidt won't be able to hold out much longer!"

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2156-“Where will we go?"

Amber looked back at Carl with a numb expression.

After ending things with Axel, she felt like a wanderer.

It didn't matter who she was with or where she went; nothing seemed to matter anymore.

However, she sensed that something significant must have happened in Cyrris.

Jameson's foundations were shaken, which left Carl, who idolized him, thinking of fleeing.

“We can go anywhere.I've saved enough money over the years working for Mr.Schmidt to live comfortably for the rest of our lives," Carl said, removing a USB flash drive from his computer and hiding it under his clothing.

Amber's gaze lingered on his chest, her eyes dull.

"Didn't Mr.Schmidt say he wanted us to get married in Kontina?"

“We can talk about that after we leave this place."

Though Carl was Jameson's ruthless weapon, his feelings for Amber were genuine, evident in the way he looked at her.

“Getting married isn't the most important thing.What's important is that we can be together, always!"

Despite his words, Amber remained unmoved, her gaze cold.

Just then, Carl's phone rang.

Though it was just a regular ringtone, it startled him.

Seeing it was Jameson calling, he couldn't ignore it.

He tried to sound calm as he answered, "How can I assist you, Mr.Schmidt?"

Whatever Jameson said shocked Carl.

He began pacing anxiously but still replied, "Thank you for thinking of us during these troubled times, Mr.Schmidt.I appreciate it.So…We'll follow your plans."

After hanging up, Carl slumped into a leather chair, staring at the ceiling before closing his eyes in distress.

Amber frowned slightly.

"What happened, Carlton?"

She wasn't concerned for him; she was curious about Jameson's plans.

"Mr.Schmidt wants us to get married and have the ceremony in Kontina.Afterward, he's letting us go wherever we want.He will not interfere."

Amber had resigned herself to marrying Carl.

In a cold voice, she asked, "Isn't that a good thing? Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

“But I can't shake the feeling that something's wrong,"

Carl muttered, deeply troubled.

"But it's Mr.Schmidt's order.I can't disobey him."

While lost in thought, he caught a faint scent.

He opened his eyes to find Amber standing before him, her white silk robe slipping off her shoulders, leaving her in a thin, strapped dress.

Her long, dark hair cascaded over her chest, contrasting with her pale skin, stirring his senses.

Carl stared at her, focusing only on her face, afraid to look elsewhere.

He had been with other women but had never loved any of them.

They were just to satisfy his physical needs; his heart had always belonged to Amber.

His only grievance with Jameson was when he'd changed Ambers m face to resemble Alyssa's.

Amber didn't have any relatives or friends.

She didn't even know where her hometown was.

Only her looks could prove who she was.

Yet, Jameson had taken it away from her so cruelly.

Jameson had stolen Amber's identity, causing her to lose herself altogether.

"Carlton…"

That night, Amber was more forward than ever.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and perched provocatively on his lap. Her eyes fluttered slowly, a captivating interplay of innocence and seduction that drew in any man, especially Carl, whose heart had long been hers.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2157-"Let's not sleep in separate rooms tonight.Sleep with me,"

Amber said, her voice laced with forced flirtation.

She suppressed a wave of disgust, pain, and self-loathing as she invited Carl into her bed.

Her gaze, supposedly amorous, held a chilling undercurrent.

Her eyes darted toward Carl's chest, where his cross necklace hung.

She yearned to rip open his shirt with her eyes.

"Amber, what's wrong? Are you sick? Did you drink?" Carl asked, his voice hoarse and strained.

He swallowed hard, his hand touching her forehead with practiced restraint.

"No, I'm sober.I know what I'm doing,"Amber replied.Leaning in, she adopted a tender expression.

"Marriage doesn't change us.We're already like husband and wife, aren't we?

Sharing a bed seems natural."

She was desperate to find the evidence Carl had hidden.

She didn‘t care about the cost, even if it meant sacrificing her battered body.

A sense of impending doom loomed over her; she feared neither she nor Carl would leave Kontina alive.

She urgently needed evidence that could destroy Jameson in one fell swoop.

"You're my woman, Amber.We have all the time in the world,"Carl said, his eyes filled with desire.

Yet, he took deep breaths, restraining himself.

"Carlton, you think I'm filthy, don't you?"

Amber's heart sank as tears welled up in her eyes.

"You're with me not because you love me but because you pity me after all these years…"

"No, that's not it!"

Carl gripped her shoulders, panic in his eyes.

'I love you, Amber.I'm so in love with you that I can't bear to touch you.No one knows your hardships in getting here like I do.I will never force you to be intimate with me.And I'm only marrying you to protect you."

Amber was stunned, staring at him as if he were a stranger.

She knew if Carl hadn't pleaded with Jameson to marry her, she might have ended up in a mass grave long ago.

A small part of her was touched, but it wasn't enough to absolve him of the crimes he'd committed over the years.

It couldn't make up for Wesley's brutal death.

Since we arrived in Kontina, I haven't felt a moment of peace I haven't m been able to sleep well. "Amber rested her head lightly on Carl's shoulder.

"Stay with me tonight, please?"

They shared a bed but nothing more.

Perhaps exhaustion from the night's killing spree claimed Carl quickly.

Within 15 minutes, he was asleep.

Amber's eyes snapped open.

Kontina was a country that was filled with dense, multi-layered forests. Itn was a picturesque country with a tropical monsoon climate.

Her gaze was fixed on him, devoid of emotion.

With trembling hands, she began to unbutton his shirt.

Her grip tightened around the cross as her eyes reddened.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2158-Jameson had witnessed brutal fights and seen the darkest aspects of humanity right here in Kontina.

Without these experiences, he might never have realized that the country's picturesque landscapes masked the dangers of a ruthless, dog-eat-dog world.

Had things been different, he might have considered this place his true home, where he could have run a regular business and lived peacefully with his mother, Lily.

Today was a rainy day.

Holding a black umbrella, Jameson arrived alone at Rose Nursing Home to visit Lily.

Across Kontina, every place he had invested in or had financial influence bore the name "rose".

It was his way of reassuring himself and keeping the memory of his distant love alive.

"How are you feeling today, Mom?" Lily sat under the awning, staring blankly at the falling rain.

Jameson gently held her hand as he sat beside her.

Her hands were just skin and bones, devoid of vitality.

With her mouth slightly agape, Lily's expression appeared blank.

She didn't seem to have heard what Jameson said.

"I'm Jimmy, Mom.

Do you still recognize me?" Jameson reminded her of who he was tirelessly.

"J-J-Jimmy…

Jimmy!" There were brief moments each day when Lily seemed more energetic, though her mind remained clouded.

"Jimmy, where's Lyse? It's been a while since she came over to play.

Why is that? You two mustn't quarrel.

You don't make friends easily, and it wasn't easy to befriend someone as nice as Lyse.

You need to appreciate her.

"You are aman, so you should always compromise and give in to her…

You must stay together for a long time!" "Soon, Lyse will no longer be my friend, Mom." Jameson gently adjusted Lily's blanket.

With concern in her voice, Lily asked, "Why is that?" "She will soon become your daughter-in-law." A blissful expression crossed Jameson's face, so sincere that he nearly believed his own lie.

She has agreed to marry me." "Really? Lyse is going to be my daughter-in-law?"

Lily was moved to tears.

"That's great…

That's wonderful! I have a pair of emerald bracelets in my box.

Your father gave them to me when we got married.

I couldn't bear to wear them all this while.

Bring them here.

You can give them to Lyse.

"As her future mother-in-law, it's embarrassing that I don't have much to offer her.

Jimmy, you must prepare generous wedding gifts for Lyse.

You have to do right by her! "You should give them to her personally when she comes." Jameson's eyes reflected a steely determination.

Choking up, he added, "I'll have her come meet you soon enough." After lunch with Lily, the gloomy skies unexpectedly cleared.

While Lily slept in her room, Jameson stepped out onto the balcony.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and held it between his fingers.

He didn't smoke it.

He simply watched the cigarette burn down to its end.

Then, he dialed a number.

A moment later, the call was answered.

A crisp, charming voice came through the line.

“Who's this?" "It's an incredible feeling to be on the phone with you, Mr.

Axel," Jameson remarked, his posture straightening as his eyes narrowed in a relaxed manner.

Suddenly, there was silence on the other end of the line, as if time and space had reached a standstill.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Jameson scoffed softly, "You fall in!

love with the woman I crafted and groomed.

I was the one who brought you two together.

Shouldn't you be thanking me for that? "It's just that you fell in love with a woman who looks like your younger sister.

Should I call you perverted or inhuman?"

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2159-Axel was standing on a balcony at Heightsnew Villa when he answered Jameson's call, his black coat billowing in the wind.

The chilling wind stung his cheeks.

Jameson's mocking voice was like a devil's whisper.

A lump formed in Axel's throat, making it hard to breathe.

His eyes burned red.

"Jameson, you must have a fucking death wish!" "T've heard that countless times in the last 15 years.

But talk is cheap.

No one's touched me yet," Jameson replied with a chuckle.

" Care to be the one to walk into the lion's den, Mr. Axel?" "You think you're a lion? Ha!" Axel scoffed, his chest heaving.

" You're just a hyena feeding on carrion." "Amber and my secretary, Carl, will be having their grand wedding in Kontina next Saturday.

She's the woman you're deeply in love with.

Will it be a lifetime of regret for you if you missed her wedding?" A seasoned secret agent, Axel's instincts were razor-sharp, yet Jameson's words chilled him to the bone.

"Jameson, if you hurt Amber, I'll hunt you down.

To the ends of the earth, or hell itself!" "T plan to give the newlyweds a grand gift on their big day." Jameson sniggered, his voice filled with twisted excitement.

"I hope you'll join us in Kontina.

If not, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." "Jameson Schmidt!" Axel roared with hatred in his eyes.

But Jameson had already hung up, leaving Axel's rage and hatred to consume him.

"amber, wait for me.

I'll save you, even if it kills me," he vowed.

As Axel inhaled deeply, the frigid air felt like knives in his lungs.

His muscles tensed as he stepped away from the balcony.

Startled, he froze.

"Dad?" As a top agent, Axel was quick and sharp.

But his emotions had clouded his senses, and he hadn't noticed Winston's arrival.

"Were you talking to that Schmidt bastard, Axel?" Winston's gaze was concerned.

"Why did he call you? What does he want?" "Nothing," Axel replied, his lashes fluttering, his face pale.

Years of solitude and the nature of his job had made him a lone wolf.

Due to this, he had always found it hard to confide in anyone.

Besides, he and Winston had always been distant.

So naturally, he kept to himself.

"Nothing? How could it have been nothing?" Anxious, Winston went right up to Axel.

"You are my son.

No matter how annoyed you are by me or how much you try to avoid me, you are still my son! "you're not like Silas or Liam, who share their feelings.

Or Jonah, who makes friends everywhere.

You seem strong and independent, but I know you worry the most.

You are the one with the most fragile of hearts.

You are my son.

How could I not be worried?" Axel met Winston's gaze, a crushing pain in his heart.

"Jameson is a ruthless man with many evil deeds under his belt.

He even dared to set me up so he could have Lyse.

As for you…

he wouldn't even bat an eye even if he killed you." Winston grabbed Axel's shoulders, desperation in his voice.

"Ax, don't go.

No matter what Jameson says, don't go." Axel Jet out a haughty laugh, feigning indifference.

"Have you forgotten that I'm a secret agent, Dad? You would've seen my obituary long ago if Jameson's little trick was enough to stumble me." "Damn it.

I wasn't joking with you! " Winston was furious, hitting Axel's head.

"As your father, I am forbidding you from going!" Despite the pain, Axel felt a warmth in his heart.

This rare moment of connection made him regret their distant past.

"T have to go, Dad," Axel said, his gaze determined.

"I must see Jameson.

My beloved woman is in his hands.

What woman? What woman can be K more important than you?"She is as important to me as I am to you.

Waves of sorrow surged within Axel.

He choked, "I want to marry her, Dad.

I want to be together with her." Winston was astounded.

His heart wrenched.

The Taylors were passionate lovers.

"Don't worry, Dad.

I'll return safely with your daughter-in-law," Axel promised, hugging Winston.

Winston was near tears.

Knowing he couldn't stop his son, he said, "Just come back safely.

I'll wait for you." Axel chuckled.

"I will.

You'll be crying tears of joy when I return." Winston scoffed and smacked Axel's head again.

"What's this talk about tears? Don't talk about crying! It's bad luck!" Axel escorted Winston back into his room.

Just as he came back out, he saw Jasper, Alyssa and Jonah standing in a line.

They looked ready for battle.

"What are you guys doing?" Axel blinked.

Even then, he joked, "Is this the night before a war? Have you been reading too much military fiction?" "Axel, we're going with you to save Ms.

Altman," Jasper said, holding tightly onto Alyssa's hand.

His gaze was intense and determined.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2160-"What are you saying, Jasper?" Axel's lips curled into his usual, careless smile.

His nonchalance was as if the world's end held no consequence for him.

"who said I'm going for a final battle? I'm just returning to work.

I've been absent for days.

The organization might fire me if I don't go back.

Then I'll lose my pension." "Stop pretending.

I've overheard your conversation with Dad." Alyssa pouted, pinching her earlobe.

"Don't forget my awesome eavesdropping skills!" 1 Axel was left speechless.

Alyssa truly had a knack for eavesdropping on everything.

"T'm determined to get Amber back, no matter what." Axel took a deep breath.

A dull pain spread throughout his heart.

"Jameson's bold enough to reveal his location and even invited me to Kontina.

This just shows that it will be one hell of a fierce battle.

Honestly, I'm terrified." "Axel…" Jonah's eyes welled up as he stepped forward, placing his hands firmly on Axel's shoulders.

Axel!" Jasper and Alyssa struggled to hold back their emotions too.

"I'm not afraid of dying.

I'm just afraid of not coming back alive to all of you," Axel's casual smile weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

"That's rubbish, Axel!" Jonah wrapped his arms around Axel.

"I will be with you.

I will protect you and make sure that nothing happens to you!" "Don't be silly, Jonah.

Julien would cry his eyes out if anything were to happen to you," Axel teased.

With tears in his eyes, Jonah replied in a choked voice, "We'll all come back alive.

We'll be reunited with the ones we love and live out our lives together…" Alyssa couldn't bear the scene.

As a sensitive person, her tears started to fall.

"Let me go with you, Axel," Jasper said, his arm around Alyssa's waist, his tense jaw emphasizing his sharp features.

"We're academy alumni.

1 may have left the military for business, but a soldier's blood still runs in me.

Who better to be on the front line if not me?" "That's right.

We're alumni," Axel said, touched.

His eyes twinkled.

"I didn't expect us to fight alongside each other like this.

tt "Jasper…" Alyssa looked deeply at him with flushed cheeks.

Intense pride surged through her, but worry consumed her.

Still, she didn't want to add to Jasper's burden.

Besides, if she kept him from going, he'd regret not taking Jameson down.

With tears held back, she forced a calm expression.

"Silas and Cyrus have been working on this case.

On top of that, Nicholas is a state witness.

Additionally, Jameson's hideout in Solana City is compromised, Schmidt Group's shares have plummeted, and those responsible have either been arrested or dismissed from their roles.

"He's at his wits' end in Kontina.

Cyrus managed to get a Red Notice issued, so the police are already searching for him.

"Previously, Jeremy had not built a strong enough case against Jameson.

But now that he has, with the president's authority, Jeremy has ensured that Kontina's authorities are also on the hunt for Jameson.

Escape is impossible this time." Axel's heart pounded.

"It's only five days until Amber and Carl's wedding." Alyssa's eyes gleamed with determination.

"I'll go with you all." All three men widened their eyes.

In unison, they exclaimed, "No way!" "No one knows Jameson better than I do,"

Alyssa said calmly, predicting their response.

"Him calling Axel means he's prepared to die with him.

Otherwise, with his power, even Axel would struggle to find him.

There was no reason for him to expose himself.

His purpose wasn't to lure Axel for Amber but to see me." Jonah and Axel were stunned.

Yet, they said nothing in response.

Deep down, they knew that Alyssa was right.

Still, they couldn't have their beloved sister risk her life.

"Don't go, Lyse!" Jasper threw his arms around Alyssa without warning.

He could almost feel his heart leaping out of his chest.

His embrace was tight, almost suffocating.

Alyssa could barely breathe.

Even so, she remained firm in her decision.

"I want to go, Jasper.

No matter what happens, I want to be with you.

We'll be together forever." "No, Lyse…" Jasper's voice was rough, filled with fear.

They had endured many trials to be together, but this time, Jasper felt an ominous premonition of something terrible awaiting them.

"It's time to end things with Jameson and me." Alyssa smiled softly, soothing Jasper's back.

Do you think Jameson will give up if stay hidden? He'll just find more s to force me out.

The longer I refuse, the more harm he'll cause to those around me.

You know me, Jasper.

I won't back down now." Late at night, the moon shone on lovers making love.

Alyssa was especially proactive, and Jasper burned with passion.

It was as if this was their last chance to be one.

Jasper was drenched in sweat, his muscles quivering beneath Alyssa's touch.

Alyssa's body rose and fell like the waves, their shadows dancing in the crystal light.

"Lyse…

Ihave to keep you safe.

I have to keep you safe," Jasper whispered over and over again.

I trust you." Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him deeply as her hips gyrated in a slow, sensual rhythm.

They spent the night this way, whispering and holding each other until dawn.
