Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"First, you should all look at this video." Cyrus pulled out an iPad. He played the footage, which showed Jameson visiting David.
Alyssa inched nearer to take a closer look. She asked in a confused voice, "What did Jamiper have David sign?"
"I've asked my colleagues at the Digital Forensics Department to analyze the footage. It's an agreement for the transfer of
shares," Cyrus answered in a deep voice.
Alyssa, Jasper, and Xavier were shocked.
"How... How could that be?" Xavier couldn't hold himself back. He blurted, "To them, their shares represent their power and
position at the Schmidt Group. It's such an important asset!
"There was a chance that David would end up being sentenced to be in prison for life. Even so, he couldn't have transferred his
shares to Jamiper even if he died. He detested Jamiper!"
"I've also hired a professional lip reader to interpret David's words. In short, Jameson probably told him that Josh was the reason
for his downfall. He offered to help get David out if he transferred his shares to him. That was the gist of the conversation."
Alyssa and Jasper exclaimed in unison, "That idiot!"
"I had the same thought. Jameson invested a considerable amount of effort to eliminate a significant obstacle that was hindering
his ascent up the ranks. Why would he get David out? David, on the other hand, didn't even think it through properly." Cyrus
clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Xavier chimed in with sarcasm, "That bastard is a total airhead! He deserved to die. He was a waste of space on this earth!"

"Logically speaking, Jameson should've been satisfied with attaining David's shares. Did he have to have him killed?" Jasper
fixed his eyes on Alyssa, who had a grave expression on her face. He was perplexed.
"A normal person would've been satisfied with it. However, Jameson is brutal and merciless. It would be far from enough just to
get his hands on the shares."
Alyssa clenched her fingers tightly. "What he really wanted was for David to die. In a similar way, Josh would surely be his next
target."
"Even so, didn't he act too hastily?"
Jasper had a keen intuition. He was often one of the first people to perceive anything unusual. "He acted as if David would end
up being released if he delayed the hit any longer."
Cyrus looked at Jasper. He raised his brow slightly and said, "Indeed, Jameson gave David some evidence. He claimed that it
could help him with an appeal. It was because of that that David ended up signing the agreement.
"After all, his priority was to get himself acquitted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wavered regardless of the amount offered to him."
Deep down, he couldn't help but feel admiration for Jasper. He thought that he was an attentive man. He had the potential to be
a criminal investigator.
Cyrus wasn't going to compliment Jasper, though. He didn't want him to become full of himself.
Xavier had a moment of realization. "That explains why Jameson took action so quickly. On one hand, it was for revenge. On the
other hand, he wasn't going to allow David to be released!" "Then, how about the items that Jameson handed to him?" Alyssa
asked.

"They're long gone. We were still too late!" Cyrus sighed in frustration.
The atmosphere in the car became heavy. At that moment, Alyssa's cell phone rang.
To her surprise, the call was coming from Colene.
"Hi, Colene. What's the matter?"
"Lyse! Are you in Solana City?" Colene sounded extremely worried on the other end of the call.
"I am. What's wrong?"
"How about Jasper? Is he by your side?"
"He is. Cyrus is here too."
Alyssa felt even more puzzled. "Did something happen at home, Colene? What in the world happened?
You're scaring me."
Jasper didn't know what was going on, but he held Alyssa close immediately. He prepared himself for whatever was to come.
"There's this person whom you've mentioned to me before. His name is Inigo... He's made an appearance!"
