Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2424

After studying Sheryl for a moment, Remy turned and left.

"M-Ms. Gillis, are you okay?"

One of Sheryl's subordinates came forward to help her up.

"Useless bastard! Why didn't you step in when he hit me earlier?" Sheryl's voice trembled with fury as her gaze fell on the crimson stains marring the pristine snow.

Stammering, the subordinate replied, "R-Remy acted too quickly. Everyone in the organization knows how good of a fighter he is. None of us stood a chance against him!"

"S-Something wasn't right about him tonight." Sheryl watched Remy's retreating figure disappear into the distance, her voice dropping to a menacing murmur. "I need to report this to Mr. Justin in person immediately."

Inside his car, Remy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands but made no move to drive.

Closing his eyes, he felt a suffocating sensation rise in his throat, as though he were drowning in an endless, hopeless sea. He was just a speck, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.

A sharp, splitting pain tore through his head.

His temples throbbed, and his body felt as though it were being dragged into a whirlpool of darkness.

Gasping for air, Remy clutched the necklace around his neck with trembling hands.

It contained pills that could save his life at this very moment. Each dose brought calm, washing away the pain and stabilizing his emotions.

Gritting his teeth, he yanked the necklace off and hurled it out the window.

To his surprise, the throbbing in his head began to subside. A strange sense of relief bloomed in his chest, as though unseen chains had been broken.

…

The skies were still dark at 5:00 am.

Several black vehicles surrounded the entrance of The Millennium.
