A terrifying silence hung over the other end of the call. Sweat beaded on Jameson's temples as his heart pounded anxiously. "Congratulations, Mr. Schmidt. Your wish ctrue, and you've finally gotten your woman," Justin's unmistakable voice cthrough, crisp and laced with amusement.
"I need to thank you for coming up with this plan forand making all of this happen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have Lyse ctoso easily." Jameson's deep eyes burned with passion. His voice, however, was rough and full of regret as he continued, "But I'm afraid I can never return to Solana City.

The words wrapped around Jameson like a chokehold. Suffocation crept in, cold sweat running down his stiffened back.
"But you've managed to take the love of my brother's life away. It's as good as killing him." With a broad smile, Justin continued, "I'd say you've made amends." Relief washed over Jameson. "Thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for making our wish ctrue," he breathed, a single bead of sweat tracing his cheek.
"For Ms. Alyssa, you even used your own mother in your scheme. You watched her die right in front of you." Justin's tone was playful; whether impressed or mocking was unclear. "It's truly impressive how merciless you can be." Jameson's heart clenched. His eyes blurred with tears as he gazed at the woman before him. Because of her, the excruciating loss of his only family crashed down on him, splintering him inside, his entire being consumed by the pain.
This version of him-could no longer be called human.

"Since you had the guts to drug your own mother, it shouldn't be a problem for you to administer sto Ms. Alyssa." Jameson's pupils constricted immediately. To him, this suggestion was equivalent to taking a knife and piercing it through his heart. "Go to the living room now. There is a box on the tea table. That's my gift to you." Justin's voice was smooth, almost seductive. "A wedding gift, if you will." The word "wedding" dripped with sarcasm. Jameson couldn't feel any joy from his blessing.

This box wasn't here this afternoon.
Did Justin have people on Rose Island as well? A shiver crawled down his spine.
Step by step, Jameson approached the table, opened the box with one hand, and found three pills inside-white, gray, and black. They gave off a faint, unsettling scent.
Dazed, Jameson picked up the black pill, holding it between his fingers, studying it in the light.
"Mr. Justin, this pill is..." Chapter 2186 1 Jameson pressed his lips together tightly.
"Even if you did," Justin continued, "she's not one to bend easily. Even if you have her body, you'll never have her heart. Worse, you might lose her entirely." Jameson shuddered, closing his et eyes. He'd considered these possibilities-Alyssa would likely threaten him with her life once she awoke The thought of losing her, after everything, was a fate worse than death.
