Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2554

"Tonight?" Gustav blurted out—not in fear, but in sheer surprise. "I-I haven't prepared anything."

"You don't need to," Justin said calmly. "I've already arranged everything."

He slowly opened his eyes, a cruel smile curling at his lips. "Head over there now. Intercept their vehicle and take them out on the spot. You won't need to worry about anything else. Someone will handle the aftermath.

"I spiked their drinks earlier. The drugs should be kicking in soon. All you have to do is finish the job."

Still puzzled, Gustav frowned. "Then why not just poison him outright? He was on your turf. Wouldn't that have been easier?"

Justin let out a cold laugh, "Mr. Holm, since you've chosen to follow me, shouldn't you prove your worth? If I do everything myself, what exactly are you here for?"

Gustav's expression stiffened. "Understood. I'll catch up with them now."

"As long as you get rid of him tonight, ten million dollars will be transferred to your account immediately."

Gustav's eyes lit up. Gratitude quickly replaced hesitation as he nodded eagerly and hurried off.

Once he was gone, Eden stepped forward. "What about the cleanup, Mr. Justin? Should we dispose of the bodies at sea, bury them, or…"

"You won't need to do anything."

Eden blinked in surprise. "But if the authorities find Zachary's body and investigate, they'll uncover his identity and realize that he was the fugitive who was swapped out years ago.

"Not only that, he is someone of status. It won't take much digging to link him back to you. If that happens, you'll be under scrutiny. Isn't this too risky?

"And don't forget—Mr. Jasper and the Taylors are already watching you closely. We shouldn't be handing them leverage."

"Who said I wouldn't act? Just wait. Tomorrow will make everything clear." A cold, ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. Rising to his feet with composed elegance, he said, "Come upstairs with me. Let's see how she's doing."

The room upstairs reeked of blood and sweat. A dim bedside lamp cast a dull reddish glow, and the air felt thick with despair.

"Yes, Mr. Justin."

Eden cast one last glance at Sheryl before quickly leaving the room. The door shut behind him, and silence settled heavily in the space.

"You must have a lot of questions," Justin said at last.

Justin's gaze remained cold and unmoved. "I gave you a second chance at life. Without me, you'd have rotted away in some gutter in Mosgravia long ago. You'd be a million times worse off than you are now.

"You and Remy were both useful to me. Remy offered his strength and his sweat for me. You? The only currency you have to offer is your body."
