Can’t Win Me Back

Before noon, Alyssa hurried back to Heightsnew Villa.

Upon hearing her return, Colene immediately rushed down from upstairs. "Lyse!"

"Colene!" Alyssa hurried to greet her, and the two women hugged tightly. "Thank you for your help this time."

"Don't say that. I'm already grateful that you and Jasper don't blme. You don't know how scared | was."

Colene's eyes were red. She kept patting her chest with her hand, still feeling scared. "Thank goodness Nathan sorted it out. If

"Please don't say that. Even if you hadn't intervened, we would have found a way to get Xavier out."

Alyssa's eyes softened as she gently patted Colene's back. "The Ivory Gang is such a big organization in Solana City with so many

members. How could you possibly manage it?"

"The members are different now. They don't listen to their boss anymore."

Colene's eyes flashed with anger. She shook her head indignantly. "Mr. Waters is losing his edge as he gets older. Without Nathan's

support, the Ivory Gang would've fallen apart long ago.

"But Nathan's hands are tied. He's been trying to clean up the Ivory Gang's business and lead them down the right path. But the

senior members have other ideas. They don't listen to him, making his efforts an uphill battle."

Alyssa fell silent for a moment before gently asking, "Colene, do you want to go back and see Mr. Waters? If | remember correctly,
