Can't Win Me Back

The next day, a piece of groundbreaking news spread across Solana City and throughout the entire country.

Jameson was officially promoted to Schmidt Group's chairman and chairman of the board. He also inherited all of Victor's inheritance.

Victor's funeral happened five days later.

Jameson arranged a grand funeral for his father. It was comparable to the Harper family's funeral. One could say that it was even more showy than that.

Harper Group was previously in a state of danger and devastation. In comparison to that, there was an endless stream of people who came to pay their final respects to Victor. It truly portrayed how extensive his connections were and how deep-rooted the Schmidt family was in Solana City.

More importantly, over the past two years, the inconspicuous Jameson had saved Schmidt Group from the verge of collapse multiple times, demonstrating his strength as a leader.

Naturally, many businessmen flocked toward him. They wanted to be in Jameson's good books so that they could hitch a ride on Schmidt Group's ship to success. What they didn't know was that this ship would only end up hitting an iceberg. When that happened, they would be completely wiped out!

At the KS Group's headquarters, Alyssa was seated in the president's office with a frown on her face. She was looking at the news about Jameson on her tablet.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Just then, Cyrus called. "Lyse, I've gone back to the crime scene twice over the last few days to look it over. I still haven't found any clues. The person who finished him off was too meticulous. I can't help but wonder if it might have been an inside job!"

Alyssa leaned forward and pressed her arms against the table. She buried her forehead in her palms and pondered.

An inside job?

For some reason, all her suspicion was directed toward Nicholas.

She wasn't relying on her sixth sense or anything of that sort. Instead, she considered all the evidence they had gathered up until now and all the people around Jameson who could benefit from this. Nicholas was the only one who had such capability and sufficient motive.

He was like an inconspicuous puzzle piece. He was a puzzle piece that filled in the gap perfectly.

"It isn't good to keep dragging this

on, Lyse. If Nathan is still unable to provide evidence to prove his innocence, he will be officially prosecuted by the prosecution Cyrus exclaimed in a concerned votee.

"There's no other choice. We have to drag this on no matter what."

Alyssa took a deep breath. She was enraged. In a raspy voice, she said, "Cyrus, look into Aidan over the next few days and Lovelace Group as well.

"Aidan is one of the distributors of Jameson's drugs. If we get a hold of any evidence of his 'drug dealings,' we can then have him in our control. We will then be able to find out more about Jameson's crimes from him!"

"Lyse, I am an experienced criminal investigator. I have sent people to look into this before you even mentioned it."

"Thank you, Cyrus."

The look in Alyssa's eyes turned

deep. "Also, you have to monitor Aidan's movements closely. He might have bodyguards with him 24/7 Still, make sure that all of you look out for his safety too.

It was a risky move for her to have mentioned Aidan intentionally in front of Jameson at that time.

Aidan's exposure would surely make Jameson uneasy. Based on how vicious he was, he would definitely find a suitable opportunity to get rid of Aidan. Mad dogs would also have a normal appearance.

Only when they were disturbed and angered they would show their true selves. They would only bare their teeth, attack, and tear at their targets then. This was also the best way to lure the viper out.

It was not simply a game of wits between her and Jameson. It was also a race against time.

Right after Alyssa hung up her call with Cyrus, Sean knocked on the door and walked in. "Ms. Alyssa, your ride is ready. You can make your way to The Ivory Group at any time." "Okay."
