Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1028

Alyssa was appalled. She could not wrap her head around the fact that the criminal Jeremy had mentioned was the same gentleman who took great care of her. Jameson turned out to be a real-life Jekyll and Hyde.

"Not only that, Jameson Schmidt once attempted to rig the presidential elections." Miley looked traumatized when she recalled the incident and gripped Jermey's hand tightly. "He resorted to underhanded tactics to manipulate the narrative around Jeremy.

"Thankfully, Jeremy's opponents did not manage to find dirt on him because he had a clean record. Otherwise, Jeremy would be behind bars by now."

Inhaling sharply, Alyssa turned cold from head to toe. She exclaimed, "Since when has Jameson turned into a monster? How did he …"

"Kontina's society is pretty complex. As Jameson is not a local, he had to play dirty to establish himself. After all, the primitive accumulation of capital always comes with violence.

"Nevertheless, he has crossed a line. If he does not observe basic societal rules, what different is he from an animal?" Jeremy seethed when he thought about the cat-and-mouse games with Jameson and the few occasions where he nearly fell into Jameson's trap.

Alyssa stumbled backward, her expression blank. She struggled to comprehend the extent of Jameson's duplicity, given how he had expertly hidden all his evil behind a smiling face.

"That's why Jameson was the first suspect that crossed my mind when Jonah told us that someone in Solana City was colluding with the Tsulian military." Miley cast a heavy look at Alyssa. "Anyway, it's still a guess. We don't have evidence against him, but it won't hurt to be cautious.

"Lyse, I know it's hard to accept the truth as a loyal friend of his. Loyalty aside, all Jeremy and I wanted was for you to stay safe."

"I am loyal, but I want justice too." Alyssa looked at the floor.
