Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2140

"Mr. Beckett and Ms. Alyssa share your concerns. They've already planted people to surveil the hospital area and even among the nurses caring for your wife. But these are all done in secret. You should know why." A sharp glint flashed in Cyrus' eyes.

Nicholas was overwhelmed with gratitude. "Thank you… Thank you, Ms. Alyssa. Thank you, Mr. Beckett." He couldn't stop the tears from flowing down his face.

…

Later that afternoon, after the interrogation, Cyrus led his colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Unit and the search team to that construction site in the eastern district.

With the help of the police search dogs, they were soon able to retrieve the woman's decomposing body from the cement foundation. The body was taken back to the station for autopsy.

Cyrus then ordered another group of officers to the resort where the crime happened. They were to examine the surveillance footage for more leads. However, the chances of finding anything useful were slim. Even so, Cyrus wasn't about to give up on any opportunity to convict Jameson.

That night, Cyrus went to Jasper and Alyssa's place to update them on Nicholas' statement and the day's events. A heavy silence descended upon the study.

There was no doubt that Nicholas was both pitiful and despicable. But Jameson, the mastermind behind it all, was far worse.

"Jameson's motive for using Aidan in drug trafficking wasn't likely as simple as money," Cyrus said. "There had to be more to it."

Alyssa, sitting beside Jasper on the couch, barely had any appetite. Out of politeness, she took a bite of the pear Jasper offered. "He was probably aiming to destroy Lovelace Group," she said.

A shiver ran down Cyrus' spine as he remembered Mandy, the new chairwoman of Lovelace Group.
