Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2023

Jameson adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a sinister smirk playing on his lips as he heard Nicholas' confirmation. "Did you leave any traces?"

"As long as a crime is committed, there will always be traces. However, as long as there are no witnesses, there are no traces." Nicholas smiled gently. "Do you not trust me, Mr. Schimdt? I'm a professional."

A crime committed by a seasoned criminal was terrifying. Even more so when the perpetrator was a veteran policeman with years of experience and professionalism in managing cases.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jameson had temporarily forgotten the grievance his wound had brought him. He smiled deeply. "You're so reliable, Chief Novak. Once I succeed, I assure you, you'll be handsomely rewarded."

"You're too kind. I'm willing to do anything as long as it guarantees the success of the new drug's development." Nicholas sounded sincere.

"Of course. Believe me, there's nothing I can't achieve."

After the call ended, Jameson stared at the black screen with a darkened expression. He silently scoffed.

"Unbelievable." Carl's eyes were filled with admiration. "A powerful police commissioner bowing to your will, willing to do your dirty work. You truly are a charismatic leader!"

"It's not my charisma. It's the allure of this new drug." He looked at the cloudy weather outside the window, a complex expression on his face. "He's not the only one. I'm also patiently waiting for the day to come."

A flame of hope ignited in his heart as he recalled the times he had sent the data to Mosgravia. "I can feel it coming soon. It's near…"

Then, he received another call.

It was Victor's head secretary.

The look in Jameson's eyes turned grim. He tugged on his tie and slowly answered, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Jameson, Mr. Victor wants you to meet him at the company this afternoon."

"Does it have to be today?" Jameson's frustration was palpable.

"It has to be today. This is Mr. Victor's order."

The secretary didn't wait for him to respond before hanging up coldly.

"How dare he use his position to push you around! That's rude!" Carl was furious, his fists clenched in anger.

"It's alright. He's all bark and no bite," Jameson replied coldly, a dark glint flickering in his eyes. "Looks like my father has a special present prepared for me."
