Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2172

"Don't move!" Carl roared and yanked Amber into his arms. His arm draped protectively across her front as he pressed the gun against her temple. "Take a chance if you want to see your beloved die before your eyes!"

Carl knew Axel was one of the top secret agents. Facing all of them alone, taking Axel's life would be effortless.

Carl had nowhere to run—Amber was his last shot at staying alive.

The woman he professed to love was now his hostage, a tragic twist of fate that seemed almost too absurd to bear.

"Axel… Leave me… Go!" Amber's voice was resolute despite the tears brimming in her eyes.

"Don't you dare touch her. If you do, I will ensure you die a torturous death!" Axel's eyes burned with fury and ice, radiating a palpable menace.

"Amber has registered her marriage with me. She is legally mine!"

The look in Carl's eyes was feral. He was choking Amber so hard that her face had puffed red. He continued, "We were supposed to have our wedding ceremony, escape to a distant land, and live happily ever after. You ruined everything. You wanted to destroy Amber. All this is your fault!"

"Carl… Come back to your senses…" Amber's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she tried to catch her next breath. "Haven't… Haven't you realized? This is all… part of Jameson's plan.

"He had you marry me and forced you to have this eye-catching wedding ceremony… It was only… so that… the armed forces will be attracted to you. As for him, he will escape Kontina in one piece.

"He wanted to use… both our deaths… to trade for his freedom. Did you think that you were his trusted subordinate and support? From the beginning until the end, you have just been a pawn he's abandoning after he's done with you!"

"That's enough! Did you think that I didn't know these? I don't need you to spell it out for me."

At last, Carl lost control and went berserk. He bellowed, "What are you all standing there for? Kill him!"

These were Jameson's subordinates. Logically speaking, they would heed Jameson's instructions, not Carl's.

However, with Axel's appearance, they perceived the seriousness of the situation. They each whipped out their weapons and prepared to eliminate him.

Right at this moment, two menacing figures dashed in from outside.

It was Jasper and Jonah!

They had donned black outfits and bulletproof vests. Their expressions were steely, their eyes sharp. They swiftly neutralized Jameson's men, who were poised to attack Axel. Their shots were accurate and lethal.

Jasper and Jonah's competitive spirit was evident as they matched each other's bravery, agility, and marksmanship.
