Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2175

'But Carl is holding Ms. Altman hostage, and he has a gun in his hand. If his viciousness leads him to hurt her, things might not end well for Ms. Altman even if Axel shoots him dead on the spot!" Cyrus said as he watched the confrontation anxiously, his heart in his throat. "I've never seen Axel this frantic. He's always been fearless, confident, and carefree. I can tell he's truly in love with Ms. Altman."

"Yeah," Jonah replied. He, too, had someone he loved. He could totally empathize with Axel. 'Passionate love and composure are rarely compatible. The more you love, the more afraid of losing you become, and the less you know what to do."

"So, what should we do now?" Cyrus asked, worry etched on his face.

Jonah looked at the church balcony across the street. His eyes narrowed. "I believe justice will prevail, and he'll succeed."

After gathering flowers, Alyssa and Miley returned to the living room, arms linked. They began arranging the flowers in a vase.

"What's up with you, Lyse? Why does it feel like you have a lot on your mind?' Miley noticed that Alyssa didn't look too good, which worried her.

"Maybe it's just the heat getting to me after standing under the sun for too long." Alyssa smiled as she fanned herself with her hands. "It's really hot here in Kontina. It's only been a while, but I've started perspiring already."

'I'll have the kitchen staff make some pudding for you."

Miley wiped the sweat off of Alyssa's forehead gently. She let out a helpless chuckle. "That's how it is here. It's summer all year round. The climate can't compare with our home country's. It also took me a while to get used to it."

Unbeknownst to Miley, Alyssa wasn't sweating from the heat. That was actually cold sweat that had formed on her forehead!

"Miley, I want to have pudding that you make.' Alyssa clung onto Miley's arm and swung it back and forth, acting coy. "When I go home, who knows when I can taste something you make? Please make it for me!"

"It's just pudding. Do you have to be so dramatic?' Miley teased, but she doted on Alyssa very much. She pinched her nose and said, "I'll go make it for you, then. Wait for me. When I return, we can arrange the flowers and put them in Jeremy's study. He likes fresh flowers, so he'll cheer up after he comes back and sees them." Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

"Sure thing! Alright then, I'll wait for you."

The unsuspecting Miley left smiling ear to ear.

The moment she turned around, Alyssa's smile froze. She curled her fingers into balls of fists.

Half an hour later, Miley carried the pudding she had made and gleefully returned to the living room. She was afraid that having just the pudding would be too boring, so she also made some salted caramel on the side to satiate Alyssa's taste buds.

However, she found the living room completely empty. There was only a basket of fresh flowers on the tea table. "Lyse? Lyse?"

Miley spent a long time searching inside and outside the building. She also inquired with the helpers, who said they hadn't seen Alyssa.

Miley panicked and immediately summoned the head of the security team. "Where's my younger sister?"

*Ms. Alyssa drove out half an hour ago, Madam President." The head of security looked shocked. He asked, "You didn't know that?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"What did you say?"

Miley was usually kind, friendly, and forgiving toward others. At this moment, though, she couldn't hold back her anger. "What did I tell all of you? I said that you must keep an eye on Alyssa. Is this how you and your team work?" *Please calm down, Madam President."

The head of security realized something bad had happened and broke out in a cold sweat. 'Before Mr. President left, he asked us to ensure both of your safety here. But he didn't say we had to put Ms. Alyssa under house arrest and forbid her from leaving. Moreover, when Ms. Alyssa left, she even said that she had gotten your approval..." "You fools!" Miley was so pissed that her forehead felt hot. Her eyes turned red. "Go and look into it immediately. Check the car plate number and the surveillance footage. Locate Alyssa this instant! You will all be responsible if we're unable to find her."

"On it, Madam President!" Then, the head of security asked, "D-Do we need to inform Mr. President...

Miley paced anxiously. Her mind was in a muddle.

Jeremy was currently attending an important event. Jonah, Jasper, and the rest faced an even more daunting situation. She couldn't distract them.

"Don't inform anyone else for now. Go and track my sister down immediately. Activate the Third Eye!"

*Activating the Third Eye requires Mr. President's written approval...

"I am the First Lady. I have the right to exercise my authority."

With a ferocious glare and an air of command, she did not take no for an answer. "I will bear the consequences. All you need to do is to do as I say!"
