Can't Win Me Back



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."noveldrama

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.

As Alyssa stepped out of the car with Jasper, a sharp gust of wind sent a chill through her. She shivered involuntarily. Jasper glanced at her. He remembered how much she hated the cold-how she would curl against his chest for warmth during winter nights or seek his hands to keep hers warm when they went out.

"Alyssa," Jasper called out to her suddenly.

The moment Alyssa spun around, she felt a weight on her shoulders.

Jasper had draped his coat over her. With a firm gaze, he said, "Keep this on. It's cold."

Alyssa's eyes welled up. Hastily, she tried to return the coat. "I'm fine."

"Keep it on. You don't like the cold." Jasper's hands pressed firmly on her shoulders.

Choking slightly, Alyssa stammered, "Y-You... remember that?"

Jasper's lips pressed into a thin line, but he said nothing. Instead, he turned and walked toward Landon, who had just arrived.

Alyssa stood frozen, her eyes reddened. Pulling the coat tighter around her, she watched Jasper's retreating back. "Hasn't The Millennium been sealed off? Why would Amber come here in the middle of the night?" Landon asked, his brow furrowed.

Xavier came running toward them, panting. "Mr. Beckett, we just found Ms. Altman's car. It was parked nearby!"

"She must have been investigating something," Jasper said grimly. "Amber lived here for a long time before this. Aside from Jameson, no one knows The Millenium better than she does."

"Axel is already on his way to Solana City!"

Alyssa walked toward them, her heart pounding with unease. The oppressive darkness around them made her feel as though danger lurked in every shadow. "We need to search The Millenium thoroughly. If Amber was in trouble, she would have left some kind of trace!"

Jasper's gaze lingered on her before he nodded.

Landon turned to his subordinates, "You heard Ms. Alyssa! Search every corner of this place. Whoever finds a clue will be handsomely rewarded!"
