It had been half a month since Jameson was hospitalized for treatment.
Carl helped him with handling the matters at Schmidt Group. However, he was too busy to keep an eye on the matters at The Millennium. No matter how much he distrusted Amber, the business was back in her hands. She managed the company on his behalf for some time.
Even so, Jameson had never stopped monitoring her, not even for a single moment. Other than when she went to the toilet, to shower, or when she was asleep, her every move was being watched. Furthermore, she couldn't even take a single step out of The Millennium.
As long as she couldn't leave, she wouldn't be able to get her hands on the important evidence that Wesley had hidden.
If she couldn't retrieve it, Wesley would have sacrificed himself for nothing!
This was the period when Jameson was absent. It could also be her only chance. Even if she might end up sacrificing herself, she needed to get that evidence!
Hence, tonight, Amber wore an inconspicuous outfit. She was prepared to seize this opportunity to leave The Millennium.
Unfortunately, it wasn't her lucky day. She ran into Carl, who had returned to retrieve some items for Jameson.
They ran into each other in a dark corridor. The tension in the air was so intense that it made Amber feel suffocated.
"Where are you off to, Amber?" Carl stared at her with a grim look in his eyes. It sent shivers down her spine, as if a dangerous predator lurked behind them, poised to strike.
"I want to go out." Amber's clothes were drenched in cold sweat. Yet, she looked calm and composed.
Her honesty startled Carl. He couldn't bring himself to say what he had wanted to say.
"I know that I don't have Mr. Schmidt's trust or yours."
Amber's long lashes fluttered pitifully. She bit her lip, portraying her innocence perfectly. "I wanted to go out tonight only because Mr. Schmidt's birthday is coming up soon. I don't have any other motives.
"I want to… give him a present as a token of my appreciation."
Carl was stunned.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
