Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Silas' eyes were stern as he spoke. "I'm here on official orders. The Investigative Bureau has approved the arrest of Mr. Timothy
Clemons for investigation. Please let us do our job."
"We weren't notified. We only know that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to step inside." The bodyguard's attitude
became more uncompromising.
As Silas smirked, his eyes turned cold. "Do you know that you're already breaking the law?"
The bodyguards had a strong backing, so they didn't take Silas seriously.
"Looking at your attire, you're obviously not official personnel. Given your fear of us entering to make an arrest, I'm suspecting
you're affiliated with Schmidt Group." Silas chuckled.
The bodyguards suddenly panicked.
Before they came to stop the prosecutors, Josh had explicitly ordered them not to mention a word about the Schmidt Group, no
matter how they were pressured.
They just had to stall the prosecutors to give more time for the Schmidt family's operations. If Timothy was taken away by the
prosecutors, it would be a dead end.
So they could only grit their teeth and say, "No! We're not from Schmidt Group. We were sent by Mr. Hodgson to maintain order."
"Oh? You're Mr. Hodgson's people? How come I don't recognize any of you?"
A calm voice, accompanied by footsteps, approached. At once, everyone turned around.

The person approaching was none other than Daniel Crosby, Orlander's chief secretary. He was accompanied by a group of
people, all working for the Hodgson family.
Schmidt Group's bodyguards were dumbfounded.
"How dare you impersonate the Hodgson family's men and frame Mr. Hodgson right under his nose?"
Daniel sternly scolded, then turned to Silas with a polite smile. "Mr. Taylor, I think you should issue another arrest warrant to
apprehend these people who are obstructing official duties. Get the name of the person behind their back to clear Mr. Hodgson's
name."
Silas nodded. "I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Good. By the way, Mr. Hodgson supports the officials' decisions and will spare no effort to cooperate fully with the work of the
prosecutors."
Daniel took the opportunity to boost Orlander's image. He was truly smart.
People from the Schmidt Group were utterly defeated. None dared to block the prosecutors anymore.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Silas walked with determination, leading his subordinate, Finley Lawson, toward the venue.
As they left, Daniel avoided others and went to a corner to make a phone call.
At this moment, Jasper, who was asking for a kiss from Alyssa, received a call on his phone.

"Stop it... I gotta answer the phone." Blushing, Alyssa put her hands on his chest. When she felt the perfect shape of his chest
muscles through his shirt, she began to imagine things.
Jasper's eyes deepened. Taking advantage of her distraction, he grabbed her chin and pecked her lips before pressing the
speakerphone button.
Daniel's voice came through. "Mr. Beckett, I've taken care of the matter you instructed. Mr. Taylor has already entered the
venue."
"Thank you, Daniel."
Suddenly, Jasper leaned his tall and sturdy body toward Alyssa, pressing her against the car window.
The next second, his uncompromising kiss came down forcefully, sealing her lips.
Of course, he wasn't satisfied with just a brief taste. His greedy nature was always revealed in front of her.
Alyssa's eyes were shining under Jasper's passionate kiss. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck. However, she
was surprised deep down.
She had been monitoring everything that happened in the hall through the camera.
The person Jasper arranged was actually Orlander's chief secretary?
Alyssa couldn't help but be astonished.
Smiling, Daniel said respectfully, "It's nothing, Mr. Beckett. It's my honor to assist in any way I can. Moreover, helping you is, in a
way, helping Mr. Hodgson. After all, Mr. Hodgson has been looking forward to this spectacle today. In the future..."
