Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 1988

The joyous news about Landon and Lauren's marriage caused a buzz in Solana City. Soon enough, the news also spread to the entire country.

The heartfelt vows and the fireworks lit only for Lauren were the envy of all.

Countless people had recorded and spread the story about this exceptional union.

Even when the time passed and it was no longer trending, those who entered "wedding" as a keyword would still find photos of the romantic moment from that time.

Amber had her black coat on as she looked up at the fireworks in the starlit sky.

Her eyes gleamed. The cool night breeze blew on her wavy hair. She curled her lips up into a smile.

How wonderful.

That woman named Lauren could finally be with the man she loved. She finally had her happy ending.

Amber, on the other hand, was raised in darkness and cruelty. Neither did she deserve to, nor could she have such a pure love story. She could not even walk in the light.

The fireworks of love ended at midnight. The entire world became quiet.

Amber’s heart felt empty. She was about to turn around to return to her room when her phone buzzed.

Wesley had sent a photo. She tapped on it immediately. She zoomed in on it, and her eyes widened.

The timestamp showed that it was taken during night time. It showed Carl and a familiar-looking middle-aged man walking out of a manor, looking friendly with one another.

Amber: "One of them is Carl. The other man... is Nicholas?"

Wesley: "Yes. The current police commissioner of Solana City!"

Amber's chest tightened.

Amber: "He's never been to The Millennium. But he's also Jameson's VIP?"

Wesley: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have expected the righteous-looking Chief Novak to be under Mr. Schmidt! I took this photo half a month ago when I was following Carl. He would never bring US along when he goes to meet Nicholas. That shows that they have much to hide!

"This is an important clue, Ms. Altman! As long as we continue looking into Mr. Novak, we should be able to find Jameson's fatal flaw!"

Amber was agitated and disturbed at the same time.

When Jameson was at Kontina, he would already collude with officials. Half the officials at Kontina had received bribes from him. They were either bought over or threatened by him, which eventually resulted in them submitting to him. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Thanks to Justin, Jameson now had a different battleground. He had also started bribing officials at Solana City as if he was a contagious disease.

With time, his pawns would be all over the entire game board-Solana City. Then, Jasper and Landon might not be able to get rid of him completely even if they joined hands!

Amber: "Stop following Carl, Wesley. You have to stop before Carl finds out! Also, do not look into Nicholas in secret. He's someone who was able to rise to the position as police commissioner, so he's definitely not someone simple. Listen to me. Don't do anything rash, alright?"

Wesley: "But... We've only just found such a big clue...”

Amber: "There are only two most important people in my life, Wesley. You are one of them. You must be safe! I will investigate the rest. Do not act on your own. Got it?"

After a moment, Wesley replied, "Okay, I got it. But Ms. Altman, may I ask who the other important person in your life is?" 1

Amber tugged the lapel of her coat tightly together and closed her eyes.

She could almost feel him hugging her from behind. She could also hear his warm breath and his light- hearted laugh in her ear.

All the iciness she felt within her dissipated.

At this same moment, Axel had been standing silently in the woods outside the Millennium since the fireworks started.

The fireworks lit up the night sky for all of Solana City to see.

Surely, she was also able to see it.
