Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2242

Jameson's shoulders trembled. He looked as if he could shatter with just one touch.

"I don't have much longer to live... Isn't Mr. Justin going to allow me to live out the last of my days?'

"Truth be told, you should be thankful, Jameson." Sheryl clicked her tongue and shook her head. "If Mr. Justin hadn't rescued you back then, you and your mother would've been killed in Solana City a long time ago without anyone realizing. Your glory days over the past ten- plus years wouldn't have happened.

"Mr. Justin gave you life. You shouldn't be complaining now that he wants to take it back.

"Once this drug is injected, it will remain in your body for 48 hours. If you do the math, you will pass away painlessly in your sleep. This is much more gracious than if you were to be sentenced to death or if you were to die when your condition flares up."

A few minutes later, Jameson knelt limply on the floor. Ashen-faced, he received the painless yet lethal injection.

After putting the syringe away, Sheryl put her hands in her lab pockets. She walked toward the closed metal door without taking another glance at the useless man on the floor.

All of a sudden, Jameson shouted a different name. "Liana Gardner!"

Sheryl stopped in her tracks immediately. Though, she didn't tum back. In a low and grim voice, she said, "Who's that? I'm afraid you've got the wrong person."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Being by Mr. Justin's side like an inhumane killing machine just like this, and committing all sorts of evil deeds... Will you be able to get what you're after?"

Jameson hunched forward as he let out a mocking laugh. "Even if you change your appearance a hundred times, or even if you start over a thousand-no, ten thousand times... Jasper will only have eyes for Alyssa. He will not even take a glance at you, let alone... fall in love with you!"

"Is that so? I don't think so."

Sheryl laughed too. A gleam flashed across her eyes, as though they were a pair of sharpened blades. 'Plus, how would you know that I haven't gotten what I was after? What I want is to stay by Mr. Justin's side. I, Sheryl Gillis, will only march ahead. I will never look back."

After leaving the detention center, Sheryl drove back to her own manor immediately. She had an enjoyable bath and sprayed some perfume on to get rid of all the bad luck on her.

She dried her hair, then put on a red-colored silk nightgown, Just as she opened the door, she jumped in fright!

"Ms. Cillis."

Remy stood upright at the door, looking at her emotionlessly. "Please come downstairs. Mr.

Justin is waiting for you."

Sheryl bit her lip. "Okay, let me get myself together and change into something else-

"No need for that. To Mr. Justin, it makes no difference what you wear, or if you wear anything at all."

Right after saying that, he turned around to leave. "Hurry up. Mr. Justin doesn't like to wait."

Forcing herself to suppress the annoyance in her heart, Sheryl followed behind Remy accordingly.

Downstairs, Justin was sitting casually on the couch. With his well-proportioned hands, he held onto a purple porcelain teapot as he poured the first extraction of tea away.

Why did you trouble yourself to come here, Mr. Justin? I wanted to take a shower and change before I went to report back to you."

Sheryl treaded lightly before Justin. She stared deeply at that gentle, elegant, and timeless face of his. "I know that you like to be clean. Since I've just been at such a filthy place, I didn't dare to see you before I cleaned myself up."

With a slight smile on his face, Justin replied, "I just happened to pass by, so I decided to pay you a visit."

"Everything has been settled. Jameson will die of a heart attack in 48 hours. With his severe health conditions to top that, even if he's subjected to an autopsy, they won't be able to find any problems with his death." The look in Sheryl's eyes darkened.

Justin nodded slightly. Thanks, Sheryl.

"I found that Ms. Alyssa went to see Jameson before I did. Who knows if Ms. Alyssa started suspecting you so soon because Jameson let something slip."

Sheryl sniggered coldly, "Fortunately, you were sharp, and you got rid of this threat."

"Jameson wouldn't say anything. It's not that he doesn't want to, but it's because he's terrified of me. He wouldn't dare to."

Justin picked up his tea cup. He put the rim of the cup right under his nose, sniffing the scent of the tea lightly. "He has never understood me, but I am able to see right through him. This is the root of his fear."

Sheryl didn't understand Justin either. Even so, she was ecstatic. "No matter what, even though the experiments have failed, your threat in Solana City no longer exists. You can finally relax now."
