Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264

“What’s wrong, Sean?” Alyssa asked,feeling worried now. She had never seen Sean so pitiful and upset. His eyes were reddened, his lips as pallid as a stray pup rescued from the gutters.

“Is this about Sophia?” Jonah asked,walking over to them. His gaze was kind as he rubbed his hands clean with a cotton cloth.

Alyss a noticed there was redness on it and sighed internally. She still couldn’t stop her brother from taking revenge in the end. She cursed silently, pondering when her moment to shine would finally arrive.

“I’m sorry …I’m so sorry!” Sean cried,nearly sobbing.

Just as Alyssa was wondering what was going on, her second brother called.

“Silas?”

“Sophia Kirkman just left my custody,Lyse.” His tone was more exasperation than anything else.”My team tried all we could to gather information and evidence on Sophia’s crimes these past few days, but she seemed to have already prepared her defenses.

“Her cousin is taking responsibility for allcrimes. Javier has also found her this lawyer from the Lynch family. I think his name is Simon Lynch. He was good at digging a way out for Sophia, making our evidence amount to nothing, so we had no choice but to release her.”

“It’s okay, Silas. You did your best. We’vegotten what we wanted here too. The Verdane Valley project is now in hand. All else can be discussed after.”

Alyssa remained unfazed while everyone else around her was eager to get their hands on Sophia. That woman wasn’t a major concern, and Alyssa had always believed that good things come to those

who wait.

Javier was still infatuated with Sophia, so it made sense that he was doing all he could to save her. There was no point trying to hit two birds with one stone right now when both could easily fly away at any moment.

“Well, Lyse … Sean called me earlier. Thekid was nearly crying when he did. Talk to him, will you? Let him know I don’t blame him. This has nothing to do with him anyway.

“He cares too much about you. The kidwas really worried you’d be upset with him because of his brother,” Silas said with a sigh.

“Will do.”

After hanging up the call, Alyss a turned to Sean.”You-”

“I’m truly sorry on behalf of my family,Ms. Alyssa. I’m ready to accept any punishment you deem fit,”Sean said, his

eyes filled with self-imposed guilt.

After hearing that his brother had taken on Sophia’s case, he had gone to Simon’s law firm. Sean had argued with Simon then.
