Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2242

Jameson's shoulders trembled. He looked as if he could shatter with just one touch.

"I don't have much longer to live… Isn't Mr. Justin going to allow me to live out the last of my days?"

"Truth be told, you should be thankful, Jameson." Sheryl clicked her tongue and shook her head. "If Mr. Justin hadn't rescued you back then, you and your mother would've been killed in Solana City a long time ago without anyone realizing. Your glory days over the past ten-plus years wouldn't have happened.

"Mr. Justin gave you life. You shouldn't be complaining now that he wants to take it back.

"Once this drug is injected, it will remain in your body for 48 hours. If you do the math, you will pass away painlessly in your sleep. This is much more gracious than if you were to be sentenced to death or if you were to die when your condition flares up."

A few minutes later, Jameson knelt limply on the floor. Ashen-faced, he received the painless yet lethal injection.

After putting the syringe away, Sheryl put her hands in her lab pockets. She walked toward the closed metal door without taking another glance at the useless man on the floor.

All of a sudden, Jameson shouted a different name. "Liana Gardner!"

Sheryl stopped in her tracks immediately. Though, she didn't turn back. In a low and grim voice, she said, "Who's that? I'm afraid you've got the wrong person."

"Being by Mr. Justin's side like an inhumane killing machine just like this, and committing all sorts of evil deeds… Will you be able to get what you're after?"

Jameson hunched forward as he let out a mocking laugh. "Even if you change your appearance a hundred times, or even if you start over a thousand—no, ten thousand times… Jasper will only have eyes for Alyssa. He will not even take a glance at you, let alone… fall in love with you!"

"Is that so? I don't think so."

Sheryl laughed too. A gleam flashed across her eyes, as though they were a pair of sharpened blades. "Plus, how would you know that I haven't gotten what I was after? What I want is to stay by Mr. Justin's side. I, Sheryl Gillis, will only march ahead. I will never look back."

…

After leaving the detention center, Sheryl drove back to her own manor immediately. She had an enjoyable bath and sprayed some perfume on to get rid of all the bad luck on her.

She dried her hair, then put on a red-colored silk nightgown. Just as she opened the door, she jumped in fright!
