Ch. 831..840
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 831-Silas widened his eyes; almost tempted to go over and kick his cheeky younger brother.
“I’ve simply never encountered such a handsome man before, so I was a little curious! What if he’s someone who enjoys cross-dressing?” Alyssa sighed while holding her forehead. Silas’ imagination was indeed vivid!
Axel chimed in, “Why would any typical heterosexual guy be interested in other men?” Silas retorted, “That just means I’m young. Only older folks lose their curiosity!” The brothers bantered and bickered, and the night concluded.
The following day, Julien slept until noon due to jet lag.
When he finally opened his eyes, he heard a persistent knocking on the door.
Initially, he was reluctant to open it, but the person outside was relentless and patient. The knock continued without pausing..
“What’s going on? You’re so annoying!” Julien sprung up from the bed, marched to the door, and flung it open irritably.
Julien was stunned to see Jonah dressed impeccably in a suit.
Jonah maintained composure, yet his gaze involuntarily traced over Julien from head to toe. He couldn’t help but appreciate Julien’s well-sculpted chest and abs, finally settling on the vibrant boxer briefs.
Jonah’s eyes dimmed.
“Hey Jonah, do I look good?” Julien casually leaned against the doorframe. He narrowed his eyes like a sly fox as he yawned.
He was naturally carefree and unrestrained. Not to mention, he was only in his underwear. He wouldn’t be shy even if he were completely naked.
But Julien sensed his heartbeat accelerating and a subtle unease settling in when he looked at Jonah.
In an elegant suit, Jonah exuded a composed presence that perfectly matched Julien’s preferences for men.
Jonah casually mentioned with his deep and alluring voice, “The underwear is cute.” Julien didn’t say anything.
“Mr. Lovelace, did you sleep well last night?” Jonah asked. His eyes carried a gentle smile as he spoke.
“Fine, I suppose. It got a bit lonely with no one to keep me company in bed, Julien responded, venting his irritation about the kidnapping.
“Can I come in?” Julien pursed his lips and eventually stepped aside to let him through.
They walked into the living room outside the bedroom, and Julien casually flopped onto the sofa, behaving as if he were in his own house. He put his feet on the coffee table and glanced at the seated Jonah.
“You came early in the morning to see me. What’s the urgency, Jonah?” Only then did he notice a medical kit on the coffee table, that appeared out of nowhere.
The next moment, Jonah suddenly knelt and grabbed Jullen’s ankle.
Julien’s cheeks flushed, and he pulled his leg back.
“Jonah, what are you doing?” “Your ankle still has a scratch that hasn’t been treated. I’ll apply some ointment for you.” Jonah let a subtle smile and proceeded to disinfect Julien’s ankle with an alcohol pad.
The cool sensation, tinged with a slight pain, turned out to be strangely comforting. Julien squinted his eyes and couldn’t help but curl his toes in response.
Being a doctor himself, Julien recognized that these minor injuries were not a big deal. He didn’t have to get a tetanus shot or anything like that.
However, he had been residing alone overseas for numerous years, distanced from his family. Genuine.
friendships eluded him, and he found solace from stress and loneliness primarily in the nightlife, apart from his work.
He had saved countless lives but had never been cared for like this. So when Jonah treated him in this unexpected manner, Julien’s heart fluttered, and he felt a bit at a loss.
The room was quiet, and an indescribable atmosphere permeated the air.
severe, Even though the injury isn’t ever beer to avoid getting wet Jonah kept the ointment in the kit and said gently. The never seen a man with such delicate skin jf
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 832-“Jonah.” Julien raised his eyebrow deviously. He suddenly leaned closer to him. “Do you know that inexplicably nice people often have ill intentions?” Jonah looked at Julien, and the latter’s glistening eyes instantly peered straight into his soul.
They were extremely close. Jonah could feel his eyebrow brushing against the tip of Julien’s nose.
Jonah shuddered. He stared deeply into his eyes. “What are you implying “Did you come here to please me by Alyssa’s orders? Or were you genuinely concerned about my leg injury?” Julien’s voice was not as feminine as his face. Yet, it carried a seductive and alluring tone to it.
“You are Lyse’s quest and also Mandy’s nephew. It makes sense for me to do this for you.” Jonah looked down once again.
“Huh, no wonder you’re the president. Your lips are sealed shut.” Julien didn’t like the answer he received. He turned around, unwilling to face Jonah.
“You can leave now. Also, I’m booking my flights now and will fly first thing in the morning.
“You’re still angry, huh?” Jonah narrowed his eyes slightly as he sat beside Julien.
“What do you think?” “What would make you calm down?” “Ask that bastard brother of yours to get on his knees and apologize to me.
Then, I will think about it.” Julien recalled how embarrassing it was for him. His suave self was knocked out and brought back from overseas in a sack.
Did they take him for a sack of potatoes?
“There has to be another way.” “This is the only way.” “He wouldn’t do it even if I told him to. Plus, he’s most likely gone, and I have no idea where he is.” Jonah continued to smile at him. “There has to be another way. You name it.
Julien had an idea, and his lips curled into a devious smile. “Jonah, don’t ask for what you can’t deliver.
You might eat your own words.” “Tell me what you have in mind. It’s on me to figure out whether I can do it,” Jonah said seriously.
“If I ask you to keep me company tonight, will you do it?” Julien rested his head on his chin and stared at his charming face.
“How do I keep you company?” Jonah suddenly took the upper hand and came dangerously close to him. He reached out and pulled the Windsor knot around Julien’s neck down.
Julien swallowed hard. His eyes were fixed on Jonah as his mind raced with thoughts.
Normally, he wouldn’t pass up such a fresh piece of meat laid out before him like a feast on a silver platter.” However, to his surprise, he found himself unexpectedly dominated by the commanding presence of this man.
Suddenly, a series of resounding knocks could be heard on the door.
“Jonah, are you in there? Is Dr. Lovelace awake? I’ve got lurich ready. Alyssa’s sweet voice came from outside.
Jonah acknowledged her and got up slowly but elegantly. He looked at Julien from his high horse. “Your must be hungry. My sister is a fantastic cook. She had only cooked for a handful of people. Would you like to try her cooking?” Julien wanted to turn down the offer. However, his stomach decided to betray him just then, grumbling loudly.
He gave up and resigned to his fate.
Since he was here, he might as well fill his stomach up before figuring out how to get back.
Alyssa escorted Julien to the dining room for lunch.
Meanwhile, Jonah went back to his room and locked the door.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 833-Jonah entered his study and sat at his desk. The smile that hung on his face remained.
He stretched his neck slightly backward and tugged on his tie. He undid the buttons around his collar.
Finally, he could breathe.
A silver cross fell from the opening on his shirt. It glistened faintly under the light.
Jonah closed his eyes slowly. He took a deep breath to calm his restless heart down.
At this moment, Julien’s beautiful androgynous features weren’t the ones occupying his mind. It was another man-a man he thought he had forgotten yet still longed for-his old flame.
Jonah turned toward the bookshelf wall and picked two books.
The bookshelf made a “click” sound, and a secret compartment appeared to reveal an exquisite safe.
He punched the man’s birthday and his own, and the safe opened.
There were a few framed photos, a sealed envelope, and a black velvet jewelry box in the safe.
Jonah opened the jewelry box. In it was a pair of diamond rings, perfect for a couple.
He picked up one of the rings and wore it on his left ring finger. Then, he took the photos out.
In the photo, a man was hugging him from behind. Anyone could tell who they were to each other from that intimate gesture and sweet smile.
They were lovers.
That man had a pair of eyes that looked like Julien’s. They were intricate and passionate.
When he saw that pair of eyes for the first time last night, he couldn’t help but be captivated by them. The bittersweet memories he attempted to bury deep within his heart resurfaced with vivid clarity, as though the events had unfolded just yesterday.
Jonah’s breath quickened. His eyes reddened as he flipped the photo over. A neat row of words adorned the back. It read, “Jonah, I hope the world will accept us one day.” “Yet, you left me before the day ever came.” He closed his eyes and kissed the man in the photo.
Death wasn’t as frightening as one might imagine. Yet, the aftermath brought forth an unbearable ache, with every moment becoming a poignant testament to the absence of someone dearly departed.
Alyssa cooked a scrumptious meal for Julien. She hadn’t cooked for a long time.
Yet, she still had her flair. Even the cook wanted to learn a few tricks from her.
Julien worked up an appetite as he looked at the array of delicious food before him. He couldn’t help but salivate profusely “I hope you don’t mind how simple the meal is, Dr. Lovelace. Alyssa rested her chin on her hand as smiled at him. His eyes were riddled with hunger.
However, Julien had his ego. He wouldn’t resign simply for a scrumptious meal.
He took a deep breath and looked at Alyssa coldly. “Ms. Taylor, I know my aunt adores you. However, what you’re doing now won’t work on me.
“I made myself clear over the phone. I don’t provide my services to tycoons.
Jasper is the president of the Beckett Group. I’m sure doctors are lining up for a chance to get on the Beckett family’s good side. They would do what they can to treat him. You don’t need me.
“I’m a man of principle. I will keep to what I said I won’t do. No one can persuade me otherwise. Please don’t waste your time on me anymore.
Alyssa found herself perplexed by the revelation. It appeared that Jonah had failed to entice Julien.
Alyssa locked eyes with him lightly. She was as calm as a cat.
She knew men only cared about two things-dignity and their desire to win.
She reached for her teacup and took a sip. Then, she said lightly, “Sigh, I understand. Dr. Lovelace, you are an extremely professional doctor. I’m sure you are very confident in your skills as a doctor.
“Plus, you have a perfect streak of practicing medicine over the years. You have never failed a single operation. As long as it is your patient, you have the absolute confidence you can heal them.
“This is because you won’t accept patients you have no absolute confidence in.
Am I right?”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 834-The atmosphere turned awkward all of a sudden. There was a subtle yet palpable hint of tension.
Julien’s eyes gradually widened, as if he had heard something that wounded his ego deeply. His face contorted and flushed red. After a prolonged pause, he finally exclaimed, “Huh?” “I think you’ve stayed too long in Mosgravia, Dr. Lovelace. It must be difficult for you to understand Solanian now. Do you want me to explain it in Grunslandish for you?” A sharp glint flashed in Alyssa’s eyes, her smile carrying a sense of subtle pressure.
Women hardly displayed such a smile.
It exuded the arrogance of a person of great power and the unyielding confidence of a man. The sheer Intimidation of it weighed so heavily that it shackled Julien’s carefree spirit like a ball and chain.
“Are you saying I didn’t want to take Jasper as a patient because I can’t heal him? Is that what you’re implying?” Julien retorted through gritted teeth.
“I don’t see any other explanation.” Alyssa shrugged.
“Pah! What a joke!” Julien slammed the table furiously. “I think you haven’t been abroad long. Ms.
Taylor. You have no ideal bow h of a name I am in Mosgravia. I am more famous than Dr. White. I have solved countless complicated medical cases and pulled people back from the clutches of death. Even Hades owes me a drink by now. How dare you question my professional skills? This is preposterous!” Alyssa smiled and said nothing. She quietly observed how he lost his cool.
Then, it was as if Julien had an epiphany. He got up, leaned back, and squinted his eyes. He looked at her teasingly. “Phew, I almost fell for your trick, Ms.
Alyssa. I must give it up to you. You have some tricks up your sleeves, but I am not a superficial man. I will not fall for your tricks.” “Sigh, I thought you were a perceptive man, Dr. Lovelace. You may proudly say you don’t provide services for tycoons. Yet, you must know how reputable Mr.
Beckett is among the big businesses in the country. He is a household name.
He went from being the president of a big corporation to doing philanthropy has helped with his charity fund. work. I’m sure you are no stranger to the dozens of people he “Yet, you still choose to stand by your so-called principles. Don’t you think you’re being too pedantic and not keeping up with the times?” Alyssa surprised herself with what she said. After being divorced for so long, she could still praise Jasper Putting relationships aside, Jasper was excellent in management. If relationships weren’t the topic at hand, he was practically perfect.
Otherwise, Alyssa wouldn’t have loved him for so many years without burning out. After all, a woman.
would never be able to turn away from a man she respected and was grateful for.
Alyssa had these feelings for Jasper, so she stayed ignorant for 13 years.
“Ms. Taylor, there is no point persuading me.” Her persuasion moved Julien. Yet, he was stubborn.
“No matter what you say, I will not budge. The fact that your brother kidnapped and brought me back here had lost you any room to talk to me about this. You didn’t even have the decency to respect others because of your money and power.
“I will buy my flight to head back. I will call the police if you try to stop me.
As Julien walked away, Alyssa sipped her tea gently. Then, she said lightly, “Sigh, I thought you were our only hope, Dr. Lovelace. Even Dr. White couldn’t help. Well, if that’s the case..” “Who? Who did you say?” Julien aggressively stopped in his tracks. His face was riddled with shock.
“Dr. White.” “Did you say Dr. White was attending to Jasper? What was that senior doctor doing?” Julien couldn’t help but sigh “Senior doctor? Don’t insult her. Dr. White is nowhere close to being old.” The calm and collected Alyssa was upset at his comment and slammed the table hard.
“I was being respectful. Dr. White is my idol.” Julien’s face was filled with awe as he mentioned Dr. White. “I’ve not met the senior doctor, but she has an elegant demeanor. Even her voice and smile are perfect to me.” Alyssa was rendered speechless.
“Moreover, it would require any of us in the medical field three decades to reach the level of expertise Dr. White possesses and perform such high-profile surgeries. What’s wrong with simply referring to her as a senior doctor?”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 835-Alyssa touched her chin. She didn’t think it was a problem.
Julien could never have imagined that the woman he despised, standing before him, was, in fact, Dr. White-the very culprit behind his “kidnapping that had dragged his name through the mud.
Otherwise, he would rather hope the ground would open up and swallow him.
He would rather die than face this utter humiliation.
“Dr. Lovelace, do you still doubt this man’s character-a man Dr. White is willing to save?” Alyssa nonchalantly asked with a smile, “Don’t you think you are questioning your idol’s character?” She was guilt-tripping him. She had no choice but to use this method to deal with this conniving man.
Julien pursed his lips. He dragged a chair and slowly sat again as he wandered into deep thought.
“Okay, I will take a look for Dr. White’s sake.” Alyssa was overjoyed. She curled her lips ever so lightly. “I thank you on behalf of Dr. White.” It was rare for Axel to come back to the country, so he wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Yet, he couldn’t sit around and do anything. So, like any other young man, he slept during the day and gallivanted at night.
Silas always teased him, “I know you are nocturnal. Anyone who didn’t know this about you might think you have an odd job or something.” Axel asked Silas, Jonah, and Alyssa out for drinks. Yet, two of them declined his invitation. Silas couldn’t resist Axel’s pestering and finally caved in.
Axel finally acted like a younger brother when he asked them out for drinks.
However, he secretly took hepatica and brought some medicine to help with hangovers. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take it.
They searched for a more secluded booth to keep a low profile when they reached the bar.
Yet, it was hard for them to keep a low profile with faces like theirs. It wasn’t the dazzling lights in the nightclub. They would make a dramatic presence even in the entertainment industry.
Women hit on them and asked for their numbers before they could warm their drinks.
Silas was exceptionally annoyed. Yet, Axel found this amusing and challenged Silas. They had a drink once for each woman that hit on them. In the end, they ended up in a tie.
Eventually, Axel couldn’t hold his liquor anymore. He said to the woman, “I have a girlfriend.” “Hmph, I don’t believe you. If you had a girlfriend, you wouldn’t come here with him for drinks. You’re obviously playing the field, handsome.” The woman flirtatiously leaned toward him. Unexpectedly, Axel nimbly avoided her. The woman disheveledly fell.
Then, he took his phone and waved Alyssa’s picture in the woman’s face. “Here, this is my wife. Isn’t she beautiful?” Silas glanced at it and almost spit the liquor in his mouth.
“Pfft, whatever.” The woman was jealous and walked off.
“Shit, Axel. You really are something. Using your sister and claiming her as your wife is overstepping a moral boundary!” Silas heavily put down his glass and looked at him as he heaved.
“Why should I hide my beautiful sister away? I should put her on display for everyone to see.” Axel downed his entire drink. Suddenly, his eyes darkened as he scoffed.
“Unlike the bastard masked behind a suit and tie. He has the world’s most beautiful wife. Yet, he didn’t let her meet people and snuck around.” “Are you talking about Jasper? Silas asked as he sipped on his drink.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 836-Axel retorted, “Otherwise, which other bastards would I be talking about?” Axel then took a cigarette and placed it between his lips. Rage was evident on his face as he remarked, I’m not sure what Lyse is thinking. She is divorced already. And that bastard’s name has been dragged through the mud. Why is she wasting so much effort to attend to his medical condition? Let him rot and die.” “Just think of her as rescuing a stray dog, then. Don’t take this too personally, Silas comforted him.
“Huh? Do you think Julien will treat this bastard?” “I think he might. Lyse always gets the job done.” “Okay. I hardly get to come back. Now that I am here, I can’t leave emptyhanded.” Axel took a long drag of his cigarette. His eyes lit up with a blazing fire. He exhaled a ring of smoke. “Why don’t I sneak into that bastard’s operating room and He slid his hand across his neck as he spoke.
Caught off guard, Silas shuddered. Shocked, he said, “Don’t you dare act recklessly. If you touch even an inch of Jasper’s hair, Solana City will rumble. Don’t make things difficult for Lyse or even Dad!” “Haha, I’m just messing with you.” Axel patted Silas on the shoulder and headed toward the crowded dance floor.
He had too much to drink tonight, so he had to sober up.
As he reached the sea of people on the dance floor, a wave of depression swept over him. The added discomfort of the smoke’s stench, a shared disdain with Alyssa, Intensified his unease. Consequently, he decided to step outside for some fresh air.
The mesmerizing lights, the enticing rhythm of the music, and the sight of attractive girls dancing flirtatiously collectively heightened the atmosphere on the dance floor.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Axel danced skin-to-skin with beautiful ladies he did not know.
He was good at dancing, but his dance moves were obscene. No one could tell him and a hooligan apart if it weren’t for his good looks.
Abruptly, Axel was captivated by a scent that sent his mind into a frenzy. Even with alcohol already coursing through his system, the fragrance left him bewildered and stunned.
A delicate woman fell into his embrace in the blink of an eye. He instinctively grabbed the woman’s slim waist, and their bodies melted together instantly.
That fragrance was to die for, and the woman felt soft.
Under the dazzling lights, Axel opened his eyes slightly and looked at the woman in his embrace.
What the heck?
It was as if lightning had struck him. The fingers caressing the woman’s back turned instantly numb.
“L-Lyse?” No, that didn’t seem right.
She wasn’t Alyssa. Alyssa didn’t have a mole above her eyebrow. Plus, Alyssa never wore sweet-scented perfume.
Suddenly, Axel’s pupils constricted as his flashbacks of Mosgravia appeared in his mind. Then, he shouted, “It’s you!” It was the woman he met once when he was in a foreign country! This woman had been unforgettable.
“Hmm, do you know me, handsome? I don’t think I know you.” Amber was drunk and blurry-eyed. She hooked her arms to the back of Axel’s neck. Her warm breath
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 837-Axel’s eyelashes fluttered as his heart raced.
His heart rarely beat so fast. He was reacting to the woman who couldn’t keep her hands to herself.
He wasn’t moved emotionally.
The woman in his arms looked exactly like Alyssa. So it felt like he was caressing his sister. He didn’t know what to do as his “sister” seduced him.
“Hmm… I-I’m about to puke.” Amber’s eyes welled up in tears. Her body went limp.
She drank a lot and had too much to dance. Her stomach was churning madly. It was unbearable.” Handsome, c-c-can you bring somewhere to puke? I can’t hold it in anymore.” If it were another woman, Axel would have darted to the other side of the roomthe further, the better.
He wouldn’t want to get puked on.
However, he couldn’t say no to that face of hers. He held Amber’s soft waist up with one hand. He carried her with his arm effortlessly and walked toward the restroom in large strides.
Everyone on the dance floor was dumbfounded.
*Shit! That handsome man is so strong! I wish I could feel how it’s like to have him carry me.” “I couldn’t believe such manliness exists!” “But, don’t you think the woman he carried away looks like someone? She looks like someone who was the talk of the town online a few times. Who was it again? Ahh, doesn’t she look like Alyssa Taylor?” “It can’t be Alyssa Taylor! When she came in earlier, I realized that was Alyssa’s face!” ‘Please, why would Ms. Taylor come to such a place? Plus, you would have seen a group of bodyguards around her. Her dad is Winston Taylor, for crying out loud! That woman probably loved Alyssa’s face so much that she used her as a reference for plastic surgery.” Axel couldn’t enter the ladies’ restroom, so he brought Amber to the men’s restroom.
Regrettably, two elderly men occupied the restroom. A cold glint flashed in their eyes as they observed a formidable-looking man entering with a woman in his arms. The sight left them so shocked that they hesitated to proceed with their business.
“Are you done peeing? If you are, get lost,” Axel said as he kicked the door open.
Both men quickly pulled their pants up and scurried away. They forgot to close the door as they exited:
Amber held the sink with both her hands and started puking violently into it.
Axel leaned against the wall and placed a cigarette in his mouth. He glanced at her from the side of his vision from time to time.
The more time he spent with her, the less she resembled his sister in his eyes.
Her sister, Alyssa, was a goddess. She was beautiful beyond measure. No other woman was as beautiful as her.
Amber concluded her bout of vomiting, splashed water on her face, and rinsed her mouth. As she stared at her lifeless reflection in the mirror, she noticed her face had lost its color due to the heavy drinking.
The face she saw bore a striking resemblance to Alyssa’s. It was Jameson who had meticulously chosen this appearance for her.
A sharp pain pierced her heart, prompting her to gently rub her chest. She chuckled wryly, biting her lip in self-mockery.
“Are you done? Do you feel any better?” Amber widened her eyes in shock and let out a scream. It was only then that she became aware of someone standing beside her.
“What? I brought you here.” Axel crossed his arms in front of his chest, teasingly gazing at her. “You sweettalked me to bring you to the restroom to puke and even called me handsome. Now, you’re acting like you don’t know me at all. I think you were using me, miss.” “W-When did I ask you to bring me here? This is the women’s restroom. You should leave.” Amber was still staggering, but she was vigilant.
She was more sober now and could think clearer. Then, she finally saw Axel’s sturdy body, his handsome looks, and dashing features.
He quirked his trimmed eyebrow. The look in his eyes was teasing yet nonchalant. It was laid-back yet spontaneous, as calm as the cea Amber’s face suddenly warmed up. Her heart was beating faster.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 838-Amber was in utter disbelief. She never expected to feel such emotions for any man other than Jameson.
“The ladies’ restroom? Look at this urinal. Do you think this is the ladies’ restroom?” Axel smiled. “I think you’re the one that needs to leave, miss.” Amber’s face turned even redder. She lowered her head and thought of a quick escape plan. Axel, out of her expectation, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back hard.
Once again, Amber slammed into the man’s sturdy chest hard. Her scalp tingled from the collision. Her heart was racing.
Axel looked at her, a deep glint in his eyes. His lip curled slightly. It was teasingly charming. “How can you leave? You didn’t even thank me yet.” “T-Thank you.” Amber’s eyes flickered. Her breathing was growing erratic.
“Has anyone told you that you looked like someone?” Axel’s warm breath landed on the reddened tip of her nose. His indifferent gaze became somewhat gentler.
Amber’s heart tightened. She tried her best to escape, but Axel held her tightly, so she couldn’t.
“No. I don’t look lik “No, I don’t look like anyone. I’m just me.” She was unsure why she felt timid and insecure. She felt like she was a terrible replica. Only Jameson liked this face. Everyone else in this world liked the actual owner of this faceAlyssa Taylor.
“Then, tell me. Who are you?” Axel’s eyes searched her eyes. “What is your name?” “Am- Her phone rang before she could finish her reply.
She hastily took her phone out and noticed her boss calling. Her face lost its color from the fear.
Axel’s brow twitched. The curiosity that had been growing in his heart went away instantly.
Amber dared not walk through the front door with her head held high. She scurried away in a hurry through the back door.
A bright and piercing red light landed on her face when she walked out. She used her arm to block the piercing light. She couldn’t open her eyes.
At that moment, a bodyguard walked toward her.
“Ms. Altman, the boss is waiting for you. Please hurry.” “Okay.” Amber was completely sober at this point. She walked toward the luxurious black car with heavy steps.
Her face was riddled with worry.
The man she had thought about day and night was in the car.
Despite being so close to the man of her dreams, her heart was filled with fear.
Amber opened the car door and cautiously entered.
The car door closed, and Jameson’s voice echoed in the darkness, clear but tinged with a palpable anger.
“What have I told you? You are not supposed to come back to Solana City without my instructions. Have you forgotten everything so quickly?” “S-Sorry, Mr. Schmidt. H… Hmm!” The next second, everything turned pitch black for Amber. An unbearable pain throbbed in her neck, and she found herself unable to breathe.
A cold glint reflected on Jameson’s gold-rimmed glasses. He turned around, strangled Amber’s neck, and held her down in the car seat.
“Sorry? Is that it? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me with your recklessness?”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 839-Sorry.” Amber’s face turned red, and her consciousness blurred.
i “I told you, with this face of yours, even in Solana City, it should only appear at The Millennium at night! You’re my carefully crafted trump card, my possession.
“You do what I tell you to do, and you don’t have the qualifications to show off, let alone to be arrogant!” Jameson’s eyes were full of malice. He increased the pressure of his grip on her neck as if he wanted to strangle her to death.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Carl saw that Amber was about to collapse and hurriedly pleaded for her, Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Altman can’t take it anymore! Please spare her this time for her loyalty and devotion to you over the years!
“Although it’s her fault for violating your orders by sneaking back, isn’t it to see you? Everything she did.
was for you. Please spare her this time.” Jameson coldly stared at Amber’s beautiful face and exhaled a breath before loosening his grip on her.
Amber was soaked in sweat at this moment, and her face changed from red to white. Panting heavily, she tearfully stared at Jameson.
Even after being hurt like this, she had no resentment toward him and only blamed herself for making him angry.
“Sorry… Mr. Schmidt… Sorry… Amber covered her neck in pain, continuously apologizing humbly.
Jameson took a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands leisurely without looking at her. Then he threw the handkerchief out of the window disdainfully.
‘Take good care of this face when you go back. If it weren’t for it, I would have strangled you.” In distress, Amber was trembling all over. “Thank you… Thank you, Mr.
Schmidt.” Suddenly, Jameson pushed his glasses and asked in a deep voice, “Did a man touch you in a bar?” “No… I accidentally bumped into him. I drank too much and made a fool of myself.” Feeling nervous, she quickly shifted all the blame to herself.
Jameson gave her a cold glance and said to Carl, “Find out who that man is, his identity, and his background.” “Yes, Mr. Schmidt.” At that moment, a bodyguard walked toward her.
“Ms. Altman, the boss is waiting for you. Please hurry.” “Okay.” Amber was completely sober at this point. She walked toward the luxurious black car with heavy steps.
Her face was riddled with worry.
The man she had thought about day and night was in the car.
Despite being so close to the man of her dreams, her heart was filled with fear.
Amber opened the car door and cautiously entered.
The car door closed, and Jameson’s voice echoed in the darkness, clear but tinged with a palpable anger.
“What have I told you? You are not supposed to come back to Solana City without my instructions. Have you forgotten everything so quickly?” “S-Sorry, Mr. Schmidt. H… Hmm!” The next second, everything turned pitch black for Amber. An unbearable pain throbbed in her neck, and she found herself unable to breathe.
A cold glint reflected on Jameson’s gold-rimmed glasses. He turned around, strangled Amber’s neck, and held her down in the car seat.
“Sorry? Is that it? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me with your recklessness?”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 840-For a moment, Rose was both surprised and embarrassed. She tightly pressed her lips together, not daring to make a sound.
One of the foreigners challenged Silas in Furancian. “Who are you? Get out of the way! This has nothing to do with you!” “I didn’t see this, then it has nothing to do with me. But since I did, I’ll take things into my own hands,” Silas replied in fluent Furancian with a sly smile.
“Damn! This guy’s Furancian was surprisingly good!” Rose was secretly surprised.
What kind of creatures were Alyssa’s brothers? Not only were they hot, but they were also so intelligent.
Moreover, Silas looked somewhat sexy, speaking Furancian. Rose couldn’t help but blush.
“Who are you?” the other one said in Vitelian, his expression gradually becoming grim. “Get lost!” “I’m your father,” Silas answered in Vitelian as well.
Suddenly, his face turned stern. “Don’t challenge my patience. Let her go!” “Guards!” a man roared, and several men in black suits quickly ran over from the other end of the corridor.
It was evident that these two foreigners had some extraordinary status, accompanied by so many people when they were out.
However, Silas wasn’t afraid. He raised his eyebrows and vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
Following his mother’s suggestion, Winston had hired professional combat teachers to teach his four sons and Alyssa life-saving skills.
After all, no matter how many bodyguards there were, they couldn’t protect them every second of every day. In critical situations, their self-defense skills could ensure their safety.
