Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 1788

Lauren's phone was confiscated, and she was asked to get into a car. Drenched in cold sweat, her petite frame trembled as she stood beside Remy, desperately clutching her teddy bear.

In the face of unknown danger, she did not cry or make a fuss. Neither did she beg Remy to spare her. Instead, she stood there like a lovely, vulnerable doll open to abuse, which only evoked pity. Before leaving the villa, Remy stole two more apples. This time, he munched on one of them while handing Lauren the other.

He asked, "Do you want one?"

She slowly raised her head. Her cheeks and lips were pallid. Strands of her hair clung onto her cheek from all the sweating. She replied in a soft voice, "Did the Harper Group... make you pick me up?" He silently withdrew the apple he had offered her.

"Are you going to kill me?" she questioned.

To that, he replied sinisterly, "Slash slash."

"Don't give Angie trouble if I'm your target." Lauren felt more determined and brave at the thought of saving Angelina. Her courage warded off any lingering fear. "I won't run away if you promise to keep Angie safe. I can give my life in exchange for hers."

Remy merely cast a careless glance at her and pressed his lips together. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At that moment, his phone vibrated from an incoming call. After stealing a quick glance at the screen, he answered the call with a hint of respect, "Sir."

"Got her?"

Lauren perked up because the voice seemed familiar to her. When she was about to listen closely, Remy vigilantly switched the phone to another side to stop her from eavesdropping. He said to the man, "Yes."

"Did Jameson Schmidt want you to kill her off?"

"No. He just wanted me to bring her to him."

The man on the other end chuckled. "Well, Mr. Schmidt is the best at the game of torture."

Remy, still looking impassive, wondered, "Since he doesn't need me to kill, am I free to go after I brought the woman to him?"

"Not yet. Assist Mr. Schmidt to the best of your ability. Take all of his orders."

Remy replied flatly, "Of course."

To Lauren's surprise, she was brought to the Harper Group office building. She grappled with mixed emotions, knowing she was in the same vicinity as Landon.

Remy guided her through the building, but they miraculously did not run into anyone. Someone had clearly made arrangements to sneak her into the building without anyone noticing. After a long journey, Remy forced her to stop in front of a white wall. He knocked five times on the wall, and a crack appeared. The gap gradually widened to reveal a room within.

The existence of the room was only known to Cornelius Harper. Back in the day, he had made many enemies due to his ambition to expand his business. For his safety, he secretly set up a hidden safe room near his office within the Harper Group building.

In a twisted move, the mastermind behind the abduction had decided to confine Landon's lover in the safe room.

"Get in there," Remy ordered coldly.

Lauren's eyes wavered as she peered into the room that was engulfed in total darkness. She hesitated until she suddenly felt the teddy bear taken from her arms. Remy had snatched her toy from her, after which he shoved her into the darkness.

"No" Her heart raced, and her eyes dripped in fear.

Darkness enveloped Lauren after the door slammed shut.

The safe room was insulated. Even Remy, who was separated from Lauren by a wall, could not hear a sound from within. He frowned as he studied the teddy bear in his hand, which was drenched in Lauren's sweat.

At that moment, he heard Jameson's satisfied voice from his earpiece. Jameson said to him, "Mr. Lexington, well done. You have completed your mission, and you may leave."

"I don't get it." Squishing the teddy bear, Remy questioned, "Why would you do this?"

"That woman is Landon's life." Jameson chuckled with a chilling derision. "Taking her life is not the worst punishment. It will only be a satisfying revenge if I separate them and make Landon Harper watch helplessly as his woman struggles in agony."
