Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1274

Jasper was reasonably worried. "She's failed her last mission. She might try again. After all, she's still working for Jameson. We don't know what tricks she'll pull next time."

Axel snorted with a maniacal smile. "Hmph, no one could kill me."

…

Excruciating screams reverberated from the damp basement of The Millennium. Even Jameson's men winced as they stood guard at the door.

Inside, a gory scene unfolded. Amber was chained by the wrists and hanging from the ceiling. Her frail figure was covered only by a thin lace nightdress, the white fabric soaked in blood.

Once Jameson was tired from the whipping, he turned around and rested on the couch. He tossed the whip to Carl and downed a glass of red wine.

Carl held the whip with trembling hands. "M-Mr. Schmidt, I…"

"Why? Can't bring yourself to whip her?" Jameson snickered maliciously. Behind his blood-stained glasses hid his eyes with a chilling gleam. "Do you want to end up like her?"

Carl had no choice but to bite the bullet and approach Amber with the whip. "Ms. Altman, please bear with me. I can't go against his orders…"

Amber panted weakly and struggled to look up. "Don't hold back. Beat me to death. My life is worthless anyway…"

Jameson jumped in rage upon hearing her remark. Approaching them in huge strides, he shoved Carl away and grabbed Amber by the neck, hissing, "Looks like you've fallen for Axel Whitaker."

"But she's helped you to subdue your opponents with her looks. I bet she was doing the same this time!" Carl argued.

Having worked with Amber for years, he formed a camaraderie with her and tried to defend her. "Besides, we all know that Axel Whitaker is the most difficult among all the Taylors. Ms. Altman had to leave a good impression on him to get closer to him. After that, we'll have a chance to get rid of him."

Carl's words came as a timely reminder for Jameson. His eyes dimmed, and he loosened his grip on Amber's neck.

Carl urged, "Ms. Altman, please don't be stubborn. Apologize to Mr. Schmidt now!"

"I'm sorry…" Suddenly, her bloodied lips curled into a smirk. She looked broken and pitiful. "But Jimmy, what have I done wrong? I did everything you asked me to. I know you've never cared about me, but how have I wronged you? Tell me!"
