Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 2052

Jameson chuckled. "There will be a sum transferred to your offshore account tomorrow. Please make sure to check it."

"Mr. Schmidt, I'm not doing this for the money..."

"I know. But everyone who works for me will be duly compensated. This is your due."

Jameson's words were clear, but his tone carried an inherent arrogance. "Besides, your wife's hospital bills must be considerable. Your savings likely aren't enough."

"Thank you," Nicholas murmured.

He then hesitated before asking, "Mr. Schmidt, several subjects have had severe adverse reactions, and some have even died. The new drug seems highly unstable. Can it really be successfully developed?"

A silence followed on the other end.

Nicholas, despite his vast experience, felt a surge of anxiety.

"Chief Novak, have you seen anyone recently?" Jameson's tone remained casual, even slightly amused.

Nicholas's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to lie. "No. I'm just worried because my wife's condition worsens daily." His voice remained steady, not giving anything away.

"A few problematic test samples don't prove anything. After all, no experiment is without issues." Jameson's tone softened. "Patience is key. We must trust Mr. Justin. The experiment will succeed for sure."

After Marc's press conference, the police detained him. Due to his health, all interrogations took place in the hospital.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking members of the Ivory involved in drug trafficking, including Harry, were also arrested. All their stored drugs were confiscated as well.

Under public pressure, an anti-drug task force led by Cyrus was established in Solana City.

Over the next month, the city saw no further deaths from drug use. The illicit drug trade was temporarily suppressed.

One evening, Alyssa was in her study, surrounded by piles of paperwork from work. Exhausted, she fell asleep on the couch.

Half-asleep, she felt a warm sensation enveloping her and a soft kiss teasing her lips. The sensation was so pleasant it made her dizzy. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alyssa woke up with a soft moan. Her eyes were filled with desire. She eagerly wrapped her arms around the man's neck, responding passionately to his kiss. Jasper's eyes mirrored her desire as he gently caressed her. It caused her delicate silk robe to rumple. Her straps even slipped off her shoulders. "Stop..." Blushing, she pulled away from his moist lips. When she realized she was now naked beneath him, she was consumed by embarrassment. Jasper pressed his chest against her and said in a hoarse voice, "Who could resist you being so proactive?"

"We're not newlyweds anymore. I didn't think you'd still..." Alyssa trailed off as her hand wandered down his chest and hooked onto his belt. "Save the late-night snack for later."

Jasper's Adam's apple bobbed as he restrained himself. He gently lifted her off the couch. "Let's go downstairs and eat the dinner I made." "You've gotten faster at cooking." Alyssa put on her robe and pecked his lips with a smile.

"Dinner needs to be quick, but late-night snacks should be savored." Jasper kissed her back with a sexy chuckle.

Alyssa playfully pushed him. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.

Jasper picked it up from the coffee table and handed it to her.

"It's Cyrus."

"Oh?" Alyssa answered quickly. "Cyrus, what's up?"

"Big news, Lyse!" Cyrus, usually calm, sounded unusually excited. "Aidan has been arrested for hoarding large quantities of that illegal drug!"
