Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2124

"Do you hear yourself, Cyrus Taylor?" Nicholas' heart sank. He sternly rebuked Cyrus, "I am your superior. Besides, I was the one whose life was in danger tonight. I was the one being attacked!

"Are you trying to arrest me right now? What are you thinking? Will you be able to handle it if news of this gets out?"

Jasper watched Cyrus with a worried look in his eyes.

Although he wasn't part of the police force, he understood that those in positions of authority had the power to crush those beneath them.

"I've assigned officers to seal off this entire area. No one will find out about what happened here tonight. It's not just for your reputation, but also to avoid causing panic among the citizens. I don't want the residents here to feel unsafe leaving their homes at night."

Cyrus lightly smirked. Fearlessness was written all over his face. In a firm tone, he continued, "Furthermore, you yourself said those thugs came after you. You're a victim. If that's the case, according to our procedures, you should also come back with us so that we can take your statement and ensure your safety.

"After all, you are my superior. You're not just some ordinary person. Don't you agree?"

Nicholas was rendered speechless.

Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly. Deep down, his admiration for Cyrus grew.

Who was it who said Cyrus was a reckless man?

True enough, Alyssa was her brother's greatest critic.

…

It was the wee hours of the morning, and a heavy atmosphere filled the interrogation room.

Nicholas sat in a chair, his eyes downcast. He refused to speak about anything other than the night's incident.
