Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 2026

"Bastard… give… me the medicine…"

As his hand clenched over his chest, Victor finally couldn't hold on anymore. With a resounding thump, he fell to the ground and knocked against the settee.

"Dad, I'll give you one more chance."

Jameson bent toward Victor slightly, but he still looked down at him as if he were watching a panting, old dog that was on its last legs. "Now, if you kneel and beg me, I will give you the medicine. One should act according to different situations. Isn't that what you taught us when we were young?"

"Bastard… in… your… dreams!"

Victor's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets as he glared at him and gnashed his teeth. He slowly crawled toward Jameson, but he couldn't stand it, no matter how hard he tried.

Jameson stepped back as if a foul-smelling, dirty object was at his feet.

Victor's pale face became ashen gray. His suffering made Jameson feel a trace of satisfaction, and he couldn't help but laugh while tears came to his eyes.

"I've already sent off your favorite son. I wouldn't mind sending you off, either. Go to hell, be reunited with your dearest David."

"David… my… my… David."

Victor's bloodshot eyes bulged wildly, and his chapped lips opened wide. He reached out for Jameson's pants.

Suddenly, his expression of pain stopped shifting. His wizened and stiff hand was just an inch away from Jameson, but it finally went limp.

The entire room felt hollow and cold, like a graveyard.

Jameson stood rooted to the spot. He lowered his head to look at the man at his feet who died without closure.

"Dad, if only I weren't your son. Then, I would be able to let go of everything you did to my mother and me and resolve things between us."

He clenched his fist, and his fingernails dug painfully into his palm. He muttered to himself, "I am your most outstanding child, and I could have gained success through righteous means. I could have been in Jasper's place, standing beside Lyse as her rightful partner.

"What a shame that you single-handedly destroyed the kind, tender-hearted Jimmy. It's not my fault. From the beginning till the end, you were the only one to blame."

…

Carl and Victor's secretary, Corey, were waiting outside. The sound insulation for the chairman's office was so good that they had no idea what was happening inside.

Suddenly, the door flung open, and Jameson stumbled out, looking panicked.
