Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2363

After saying that, Justin turned and marched off.

Zachary's expression darkened. He frowned and pressed the call button on the table.

A moment later, his secretary walked in. He greeted respectfully, "Mr. Dutton."

"This nephew of mine has been getting out of line lately. It's time for a little reminder," Zachary muttered, lowering his head.

The secretary stepped forward without hesitation, extending his palm as Zachary pressed his cigar against it, extinguishing it with a single, calm motion.

"Once you finish the tasks at hand, I need you to head to Solana City. Meet with someone there."

After leaving Kings' Club, Justin remained silent the entire journey to the airport. His silence unnerved Sheryl, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to rise.

Justin was usually a man of smiles, but when his lips were tight, it meant that something serious was brewing.

"You're curious, aren't you?" he murmured, his eyes half-closed and lips pale. "Wondering how Zachary can roam freely in Kontina, instead of being locked up? Wondering who's actually serving his sentence in Solana City's prison?"

Sheryl, a little flustered, wiped her brow. "It's true I'm curious, but I wouldn't pry if you don't want me to."

"I arranged for a scapegoat to take Zachary's place in prison, securing his freedom. That's how he's been able to live so freely." Justin smirked, lips curling cryptically. I'm telling you this because I need a favor from you once we're back."

Sheryl responded, "I'm at your service."
