Can't Win Me Back

Alyssa and Jasper exchanged a look of astonishment.

They had always thought Aidan's arrogance and boasting would lead to his downfall eventually, but they hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

"Cyrus, did your people follow Aidan to find this out?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"No, we received an anonymous tip that led us to Aidan's stash of illegal drugs in a warehouse. But that's not all. We also found two bodies of the Ivory Gang members on a Lovelace Group's cargo ship near that warehouse."

The couple's eyes widened in shock.

"The bodies were frozen, so they were well-preserved and hadn't decomposed. They were likely trying to use the ship to smuggle the bodies out of the country. After all, Solana City is filled with our surveillance. It's hard to dispose of two bodies here."

Cyrus's voice dropped, sounding more serious. "We performed autopsies immediately. As expected, both bodies died from drug overdoses."

Jasper frowned. His eyes deepened with thought.

"Cyrus, your team has been tailing Aidan for over a month, and there's been no sign of activity from him. But someone suddenly pops up with critical information about his drug stash."

Alyssa had the same thought. She added, "And right after, you find bodies on a Lovelace Group's ship nearby? This all feels too coincidental. It seems like someone is setting this up." "Lyse, the coincidences are hard to ignore. But one thing is certain."

Cyrus took a deep breath. His voice turned somber. "Lovelace Group is currently the biggest illegal drug supplier we've found in Solana City. We've not only busted their operation, but the warehouse staff and Aidan's secretary have also confessed to drug trafficking.

"However, they all denied any involvement in the murders or hiding the bodies. They said that they knew nothing about the bodies. We're still investigating that part."

"Cyrus, are you okay?" Alyssa sensed something off in his tone and couldn't help but worry.

After all, Mandy was a part of the Lovelace family.

Though she had cut ties with them after marrying Winston, people still saw her as connected to them by blood. It was impossible to fully separate those ties. Moreover, Joseph was Cyrus' uncle, and Aidan was his cousin. This connection might force him to step down from the task force.

"Lyse, I know what you're concerned about. I'm fine."

Cyrus sighed, I'm just worried about my mom. She acts indifferent to her family, but deep down, she doesn't want to see them in such a

disgraceful situation. Despite leaving the Lovelaces, she still wishes them well."

"Yeah, Mandy is kind-hearted. After all, the Lovelaces raised her, and she was once Edgar's favorite." Alyssa suddenly felt her nose tingle.

of this. By tomorrow, the news will be everywhere. Even if they don't report it, the police will release official statement soon. The higher-ups are very serious about cracking down on illegal drugs. This is really bad news for Aidan.

Cyrus brushed off the earlier gloom and spoke with his usual conviction. "Now, we have all the evidence. Aidan's large-scale drug trafficking, leading to multiple deaths, is undeniable. Even if he didn't kill those two, he'll still face severe

"Aidan's downfall will prompt Edgar and Joseph to take action to protect him."

Alyssa gripped Jasper's hand tightly. Her eyes were filled with concern. "Jasper, stay in Solana City to get more information. I need to go home and be with Mandy."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Jasper squeezed her hand back and nodded slightly. "Alright. Call me if anything happens."
