Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1922

Jordan was able to get away without a hitch thanks to the other car that stopped the police at the hospital.

A black vehicle zoomed through the brightly lit Solana Highway.

Landon was staring out the window. His eyes were empty and dark. Under the flickering lights, his face was alluring as usual but inexplicably desolate.

It was as if he was a completely different person.

Jordan observed him closely, searching for any trace of his presidential demeanor, but found none whatsoever. Landon was completely broken.

"I didn't issue any orders. You shouldn't have done more than what I've instructed you to."

After a long silence, Landon spoke up softly, "There are numerous opportunities to kill Preston. Yet, you chose the one time when it was the riskiest."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Landon."

Jordan lowered his head. He clenched his fists tightly. "It's just that… I really wanted him to die. He's considered lucky to even be able to live another day!

"I'm sorry. I know that I've made things very difficult for you. I'm willing to bear all the punishment. If the police approach you, tell them that I was the one who did it. I have taken my revenge, so I no longer have any regrets. I'm willing to plead guilty and—"

Landon closed his eyes and lifted his hand, interrupting Jordan. "I didn't ask you to take action because I was afraid that you'd become involved."

Jordan's heart raced, caught off guard by Landon's words. "Mr. Landon…"

"You are the only one I have left by my side." Landon was anguished. He choked, "You were Angelina's best friend when she was still alive. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to you."

"Thank you…" Jordan couldn't hold himself back anymore. Tears of regret started flowing down his face.

"He's dead?"

"Yes. I watched him catch his last breath. Don't worry, Mr. Landon. I wouldn't have made it easy for him. He died a painful death."
