Unexpectedly, Jameson's office wasn't locked. The team from the Investigative Bureau entered with ease.
Silas stood in the middle and scanned the room with a cold, appraising gaze. His chest tightened with a sense of dread. The open office meant Jameson had likely destroyed any incriminating documents, making it a hollow shell.
"Mr. Schmidt cleared this place out a long time ago, sir. Are we... Are you still going to search it, Mr. Taylor?" Scott stammered from behind Silas, already slick with sweat.
Silas' eyes blazed with determination. "Proceed with the search, team!" he boomed in a powerful voice.
His team descended upon the office, taking it apart meticulously.
Years of experience dealing with bizarre cases, especially corruption, had instilled a relentless tenacity in Silas. Hiding a trail of dirty money was no different from hiding drugs; there were always creative methods.
Silas wouldn't be surprised if this seemingly ordinary office harbored hidden compartments or even secret tunnels. After all, a high roller like Victor wouldn't leave himself without an escape route, a double layer of security.
Utterly dissatisfied, Silas snatched books from the shelf, flipping through them rapidly, searching for anything hidden between the pages. He meticulously examined each book on the entire shelf, sweat beading on his forehead, but his persistence remained unwavering. He wouldn't be deterred.
"There's nothing, Mr. Taylor."
"Nothing here too!"
"Same here!"
His subordinates were very frustrated. "They must have cleaned up this office beforehand. We're one step behind."
Silas scowled, frustration tightening his chest with each labored breath. Just as he reached for another book, his hand stilled.
A black hardcover copy of "That's Capital" caught his eye.
Each day, she wondered how she could keep Briar with the Taylors. Perhaps she could offer her a high salary as Tatiana's personal pregnancy nutritionist.
Tatiana was less than three months along, so her bump was not quite showing yet. Even so, Tatiana had grown a little plumper from the care she was receiving. She was more beautiful than when she was skinny, and she even looked a little more mature.
In the room, Alyssa and Tatiana were talking chummily.
Alyssa knew about the slight changes in Tatiana's body, so she bought a number of clothes that suited her figure. Every piece of clothing was a limited edition, so she wouldn't end up dressing the same as others when she went out.
Her brothers doted on her, and she gave all her love to Tatiana, her only younger sister.
"Oh dear… Why did I gain so much weight? I feel like a pig," Tatiana grumbled.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
