Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2259

Jonah knitted his brows together while an icy gleam flashed across Alyssa's eyes. They exclaimed in unison," Sheryl?"

With a serious look on his face, Cyrus nodded. "Two days before Jameson's death, Sheryl gave free medical care to all the inmates at the detention center.

"Not long after that, Jameson died of a heart attack. Even though there isn't any evidence to prove that Sheryl murdered him, out of everyone who came in contact with Jameson before he died, she was the one who was qualified and capable of doing something like this.

*After all, it's really unexpected for her to show up at the detention center out of the blue, isn't it?"

Alyssa leaned back against the headboard again. She lowered her eyes.

"If Sheryl was really the one who did it, that would mean that Justin was acquainted with Jameson. Justin sent Sheryl to get rid of Jameson because he's worried that he would confess something when he goes to court to be put on trial. So, he decided to silence him in case it implicated him."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Alyssa was always a sharp-witted person. Her associative abilities were relatively superb. Just through a few words and a few bits and pieces, she would be able to make bold and shocking guesses.

Jonah's eyes widened in shock. "Justin and Jameson knew each other? Their paths have never crossed, though." Cyrus seconded, "After finding out that Sheryl had come in contact with Jameson, I immediately looked into her background. She and Jameson are total strangers, and her background didn't intersect with Jameson's either." Alyssa asked, "Why did she provide charity medical services for no reason, then? Cyrus, as you said, this was very unexpected.

"Not only did she provide free medical service, she also became a prison medic and a special advisor. The procedures have been completed and the city council has approved of it. She will be taking up the roles officially next month."

Cyrus frowned deeply. "Indeed, there are a lot of coincidences in all of these. Lyse, I wish that we could arrest the killer so effortlessly. But we need to have direct proof in order to make an arrest. We can't do that through mere speculation.

'Justin left Solana City for almost 20 years. We have completely no information on what he's been up to out there or who he's in touch with. He, on the other hand, is well aware of our situation here."

Alyssa shook her head. She massaged the area between her brows as it throbbed. Those painful memories crashed into her like waves.

"When Jameson took me captive on Rose Island, I happened to overhear Jameson speaking with someone on the phone. They were talking about the medication that Jasper took.

*Jameson spoke to the man he referred to as 'Sir' respectfully. As such, it is evident that this 'Sir' was the mastermind in control of Jameson. He had him control Schmidt Group and conduct experimentation on live humans.

"He's well-versed in pharmacology. At the same time, Justin is also very deeply connected with people in the field of drug manufacturing in Mosgravia. Could all these be mere coincidences?"

A terrifying silence befell the hospital ward.

Cyrus couldn't quite wrap this extremely complex and perplexing idea around his head. "Lyse, I know bad guys won't say they are bad people. But what is his purpose in doing these things?

"He's the oldest son in the Beckett family, born of Mr. Javier's first wife. Status-wise, his is higher than Jasper's. Now that he's returned to Beckett Group, if he wanted to, there's a possibility that Jasper might even struggle against him for leadership.

"So why would he get up to so much mischief? If he wanted power or status, it would be over once he returned and fought for it. If he engages in these immoral deeds, if he's not careful, it would be the end for him. Isn't the cost a little too high if he loses everything?"

Alyssa closed her bloodshot eyes and panted heavily. "Yeah. That's something that I haven't been able to figure out."

'That might be so, but things are different now."

Jonah had a grave and worried expression on his face. "For one, it has been too long since Mr. Justin left the Beckett family. Jasper has gained control over Beckett Group bit by bit, and built up a wide network in Solana City. He also has Mr. Newton's support. It won't be that easy for Mr. Justin to seize power.

"If it were in the past, he would still have the Dutton family's support. But his mother is no longer around, and the Dutton family has collapsed. Without any external support or Mr. Newton's favor, he must be in an extremely dire situation."

Alyssa was still young. When the Dutton family had their downfall, she wasn't old enough to remember it yet. At this moment, she was filled with curiosity.

*Jonah, do you know much about the Dutton family's downfall?"

At that very moment, outside the hospital ward, Jasper stood silently at the door. In fact, he had been standing there for nearly half an hour.
