"It's true. She met with no one. I swear!" Carl asserted calmly, though his heart raced within.
Jameson leaned back, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It seems like you've taken quite a fancy to her."
"I…" Carl stammered, his face flushing in panic.
"If that's the case, I shall decide on your behalf this time. You should marry Amber."
Carl's eyes widened in shock. "You… You want me to marry Amber?"
"I know you've always had feelings for her," Jameson replied, closing his eyes casually. "It's been too long since we celebrated anything in the Schmidt family. You've served me faithfully without asking for anything in return.
"I'm not heartless. I recognize your true desires. Consider Amber a token of my gratitude, if you will."
"Thank you, Mr. Schmidt! I'm honored to marry Amber. She's a gift from you. Why would I ever mind? I'd be ecstatic!" Carl exclaimed gratefully, moved.
"Start planning the wedding soon. I'll be generous with my congratulations," Jameson said with forced cheer. "Hold it in Kontina, and let Amber stay there. You'll travel between the two cities."
"I understand, Mr. Schmidt," Carl replied, a flicker of comprehension crossing his features. His chest tightened. "But what about Chief Novak? How do you plan to deal with the situation?"
"He's been corrupt for years. He'll understand his position," Jameson replied coolly, eyes narrowing with a hint of coldness. "Besides, I still hold leverage over his weakness. If he's wise, he won't betray me."

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🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
