Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2154

Carl stared at the body lying in a pool of blood. Cold sweat drenched him, and fear shook his frame. "You're already under attack after just a few days back. What should our next move be?

"Don't worry," Jameson replied. "Before I die, I'll drag these foolish, greedy idiots to hell with me."

As the words left his lips, Jameson was startled. His eyes held an infinitely dark and cold intensity. He'd uttered "hell" without conscious thought, as if prophesying his own fate. Did he believe his hands were so stained with blood and evil that hell was his only destination?

In the silence, Jameson's phone rang. He turned away from Carl and his subordinates, facing the desolate moon outside the window and answered the call. "Go ahead."

"Mr. Schmidt, things look bad for you here," his informant said, his voice heavy with gloom. It was as if Jameson's reign had ended, and there was no chance of recovery.

"It is what it is. How bad can it get? Just get to the point." Jameson let out a few dry coughs, his pale face etched with loneliness.

"The prosecution has searched the entire Schmidt Group. Mr. Baird and the head of the Finance Department have been taken in for further interrogation.

"They're a bunch of opportunists and aren't trustworthy at all. Now that you've lost your power, it won't be long before they spill everything they know."

"Like you said, they aren't trustworthy. Besides, they're just puppets. They've never been truly involved with the core of Schmidt Group. They won't be able to spill anything."

Jameson's coughing worsened. Carl hurried over with a handkerchief.

Jameson covered his mouth, coughing violently. Returning the handkerchief, Carl glanced at it, and his pupils constricted in shock—fresh blood stained the creamy white fabric.

Carl dared not say a thing. He forced himself to hold back his emotions, stuffing the handkerchief into his pocket with shaky hands.

"There's more," the informant continued. "Solana City police force has issued a nationwide warrant for your arrest."

"What did you say?" Jameson held his breath. There was a metallic taste at the back of his throat.
