Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2008

At midnight, Amber arrived at a countryside villa in her sportscar. She had changed into a flaming red slit dress and styled her long, dark hair into a bun that was held together by a golden hairpin.

Her style, classic and alluring, was to Jameson's taste. However, she was dressed to the nines for a nasty deal.

She ran her cold fingertips through the hem of her dress and chuckled bitterly. What a waste of high-grade silk and top-notch tailoring! Her perfect attire and her dignity would end up being trampled by the beasts she would host.

She received a video call from Wesley when she was about to leave her car. The video call was their preferred way of communication as it was impossible to be tapped.

"Wesley," she began with a forced smile.

"Ms. Altman, are you about to…" Wesley choked up emotionally at the sight of her beauty. As an employee at The Millennium, he knew what that would signify.

"What's the matter? Is everything alright?" Amber hurriedly shifted the topic of conversation.

"I'm fine, Ms. Altman. The two guests you're meeting are not just any ordinary men, though." Wesley put on a worried look. "Based on my recent investigation, these two men might have bought the same batch of drugs as Aidan Lovelace from Jameson!

"We might get more information about the drugs if you get to them. If we get our hands on the drugs, we'll be one step closer to defeating Jameson."

Her worry gave way to the determination for justice. "I will try my best to pry some crucial information out of them. Wesley, thanks for letting me know!"

"Ms. Altman, be careful." Worry clouded his eyes. He had a bad feeling. "Something feels off when Jameson made you come out here to host the guests without Carl following you. I'm scared that…"

"No. That won't happen." Amber's eyes were emotionless. "Jameson Schmidt hasn't hurt me yet, and that goes to show I'm still of use to him.

"I know him too well. He won't let go of a person until he's extracted every drop out of them. He'll protect me if needed."

…

Apart from Amber, four other women working for The Millennium were sent to host the Tsulu guests.

Two bodyguards armed with guns stood in the dark corners of a luxurious suite. The women had no choice but to entertain the two male foreign guests sporting beer bellies.

All of a sudden, she came to a realization and understood the reason Aidan would sacrifice his family's honor and even his own conscience, taking the risk to work with Jameson.

If the drug in question was indeed an addictive substance, it made sense that Jameson would want to use Lovelace Pharmaceuticals to whitewash the nature of the drug before mass marketing it in Solana City and monopolizing the market.

The thought was terrifying. What a despicable move!

"Hahaha… Shall we put this amazing stuff to the test tonight?" The other man tossed a bag of pills on the coffee table—the sight of the blue pills sent Amber's heart drumming.

"Ah! N-No!" the women screamed when the men grabbed them by their hair and force-fed the blue pills to them. Terrified, they twisted and struggled to break free.

"Motherfucker! Take the pills!" One of the men slapped a woman twice before his counterpart forced her mouth wide open.

At that moment, Amber grabbed the man's arm. The two men looked over to her.

She flashed them an icy smile. "Gentlemen, don't give a timid young girl a hard time. Aren't these just pills? I'll take them on her behalf."
