Can’t Win Me Back

"By the looks of it, Lyse left because of that phone call," Cyrus deduced, his investigative instincts kicking in.

He frowned thoughtfully.

"But it's unusual for Lyse to act so impulsively.

Even if she had to leave the presidential office, she would at least consult with Miley before making such a decision." "So, the person on the other end must have had significant influence over her.

They must have said something so compelling that she felt she had no choice but to comply," he reasoned.

"That's odd." The more Jonah thought about it, the more astonished and flustered he felt.

"Jameson and his team are all in Kontina, and all the major threats are here.

We were at the church, Miley was at the presidential office, and Jeremy returned safely from his event.

Besides ensuring the safety of a loved one, what else could have driven Lyse to risk so much and accept that person's invitation?" "Tt was...

Jameson!" Jasper exclaimed, his face ashen.

"With Car] dead and Amber saved by Axel, Jameson has no more cards to play.

His only option was to approach Lyse, trying to control her.

"He wants her desperately.

Even if he had to abandon everything else, he would go to great lengths to take her with him." Jasper closed his eyes in agony, his pain evident as he took deep breaths, unable to suppress it.

The group exchanged anxious glances, finding Jasper's explanation troublingly plausible.

They held their breaths, hoping his worst fears wouldn't come true.

Just then, Jeremy's secretary burst in, drenched in sweat.

"Mr.

President, I have terrible news!" Jeremy tightened his grip around Miley's trembling waist.

Ina deep voice, he asked, "What is it?" The secretary swallowed hard and stammered, "Four hidden bombs detonated at the museum you visited earlier today.

The place is in ruins.

The estimated damage is in the billions." Everyone was astonished.
