Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2420

"Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her."

Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?"

"There wasn't one."

Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze.

"You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"

Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face.

"Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!"

Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away.

Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face. She was teetering on the edge of madness. "Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"

Jasper drove to Alyssa's place personally, eager to see her as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the manor that had once been their haven, he found Alyssa standing silently in the biting wind. Rosie, unable to bear the sight, opened an umbrella and stood behind Alyssa, shielding her from the falling snow. Alyssa appeared as if she held the world in her hands, yet an unshakable loneliness clung to her.

How could Jasper let go of such a stunning woman? When would he come to his senses?

Jasper's black Maybach glided to a halt at the front of the manor, snow spraying in its wake.

He stepped out, his expression unreadable, and strode toward Alyssa. His striking features were as cold as the winter air. Xavier opened the car door and got out of the car, but before he could even take two steps forward, he doubled over and vomited.

Clearly, Jasper had sped his entire way there.

"Mr. Jasper, you're finally here!" Rosie exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion as her gaze turned resentful.

Alyssa exhaled a misty breath, her lips trembling as she looked into Jasper's deep eyes. Yet, words failed her.

She once had the privilege to demand anything from him, to throw tantrums, vent, or tease. But now, all of that felt like a distant memory. Fear held her tongue.

"It's freezing. Why are you waiting out here?" Jasper asked in a deep voice as he looked into her teary eyes.

Her voice came out as a fragile whisper, "I was waiting for you."

Jasper's chest tightened, his fingers curling involuntarily. "Let's go inside. We'll talk there."

"No, it'll be too late by then. We need to find Amber now. She's in danger!"

The echo of a gunshot replayed in her mind, making her breath hitch. Her tears welled up. Alyssa was on the verge of breaking down.

"I heard a gunshot. I couldn't reach Amber's phone after that. Something's happened to her I just know it!"

"Alyssa, you've always been so optimistic. Don't let your fears consume you," Jasper said, though his stiff posture betrayed his own concern.

"If something happens to Amber, Axel's happiness will be destroyed too!" Remembering Axel's struggles to find happiness, Alyssa's composure shattered. Tears streamed down her face despite Jasper's watchful gaze.

"Amber has to be okay... She has to!" she cried, her voice raw with desperation. Then, her knees buckled, and the world tilted around her.

Exhausted from days of relentless work at KS Group and her desperate search for a solution for Jasper, Alyssa was now battling insomnia. Three sleepless nights had taken their toll.

The physical and mental exhaustion finally caught up to her.

Rosie panicked, but fortunately, Jasper's quick reflexes caught her before she hit the ground. He wrapped his coat around her trembling frame, his actions instinctive and protective.

Not even the world's most lethal toxin could extinguish this unwavering habit of looking after her.

"Are you alright?" Jasper asked.

Alyssa didn't answer. Her sobs racked her body as she clung to him.

"Alyssa, stop crying," Jasper said, his voice steady but pained. "If you don't stop, I'll leave right now. I won't help you anymore."

Alyssa wept uncontrollably, her tears soaking through Jasper's shirt.

Knitting his brows tightly together, Jasper let out a helpless sigh as his hand rested gently on her back.

He couldn't bear to see her like this.

Witnessing this ate at his heart.novelbin
