Can’t Win Me Back

Justin asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Amber Altman! It must be her."

Sheryl clenched her teeth in anger. 'She was by Jameson's side the entire time. She must have heard things about me.

"On top of that, she went with Jameson to Mosgravia to meet with you on several occasions. Now that I'm back, she must be suspicious of me and tailing me in secret. That previous encounter at the orphanage should have been a warning!"

Justin smiled slightly and did not comment.

The look in Sheryl's eyes turned grim. "Sir, we can no longer spare Amber. I don't care if she suspects me, but if she starts suspecting you and blabs to Alyssa, you would be in trouble!"

A tired expression crossed Justin's face. "I understand why you're worried, but I don't have the energy to waste on these irrelevant people at the moment.

"Don't worry, Sir!" Sheryl lowered herself in front of Justin once again. She picked up his hand and held it tightly. "Leave that bitch to me. No matter what it takes or what it costs, I will ensure your safety and help you reclaim everything that belongs to you."

The next evening, Cyrus, Alyssa, and Jonah were in the cellar of Heightsnew Villa.

What did you say? They had a fake prisoner take his place?"

Cyrus raised his brows in shock. He was so surprised that he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.

"Did they fucking think the surveillance system in Solana City's prison is just for show? Are they trying to bring The Shawshank Redemption to life?"

Alyssa swirled her wine glass while propping her chin up with her other hand. "It sounds more like The Shawshank Exchange to me."
