Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1711

It was a premeditated act of revenge.

"Chief Taylor, we've got bad news!" Another policeman rushed over, covered in sweat. "The killer is at the rooftop with a hostage! He threatened to jump to his death with the hostage if we refused to release him."

Then, he handed a phone to Cyrus. Cyrus took the phone and saw the scene of Denver bellowing at the policemen with a female hostage in his arms.

His eyes widened in shock as he recognized a pale-looking and tear-stricken Lauren in Denver's grip. His heart sank, and panic surged through his veins.

How could Lauren be the hostage?

Cyrus, who had always dealt with the toughest armed criminals with calm, found himself breathing unevenly. He immediately dashed toward the rooftop.

At the same time, Angelina rushed toward him with fury in her eyes, holding Lauren's teddy bear.

"Is the hostage… Madam Lauren? Is that true?" She sounded teary.

Cyrus nodded with a serious face. She looked like she was on the brink of a breakdown.

She offered, "I'll go with you!"

"I know you're in a panic, but your presence will only worsen the situation. You know nothing about the criminal, and you don't have the negotiation skills. If you provoke the criminal, he might take Lauren's life!" Cyrus advised.

Then, he stared into her misty eyes. His tone softened. "Have faith in the police; trust me!"

"Mr. Cyrus, please save Madam, no matter what it takes!" Angelina had no choice but to plead with Cyrus and placed all her hope on him, even when she knew he was a thorn in Landon's flesh.

"Don't worry. I'll risk my life to save Lauren because it's my duty as a policeman," Cyrus promised.
