Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Suddenly, Colene shouted, "Do you hear me, Jasper?"
Jasper hurriedly sat up straight. "Yes, I'm here."
"Control your woman a little. Don't let her act recklessly."
Although Colene didn't sound friendly, her words were filled with concern. "If anything happens to Lyse, the Ivory Gang won't let
you off."
Alyssa felt speechless at her words. This daughter of the Ivory Gang's leader was quite domineering.
Cyrus chuckled and shook his head while Xavier truly felt nervous for Jasper.
Jasper wrapped his hand around Alyssa's waist and exerted force, giving her a sense of security. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll protect
Lyse with all my might. Please rest assured."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car quieted down.
Mom?
Even Alyssa usually only addressed Colene by her name, but Jasper actually called her "Mom" in one fell swoop.
He actually mastered seizing opportunities to act cute.
The other end of the phone suddenly went silent, and then Colene shouted, "You brat, who do you think you're calling mom? Get
lost!"

That night, Inigo had decided to leave Solana City. Before leaving, he naturally had to convert the money here into gold. After all,
these banknotes would be useless once he crossed the border, but gold would always hold its value.
Just as he was about to leave the black market happily and ready to go to the designated location to pick up the money, he
received a call from Jameson.
"Don't come over here yet. I've changed the location of the money."
"Damn it, Jameson! Are you tricking me? Did you really prepare the money?" Inigo cursed loudly, completely losing his patience.
"Tricking you?" Jameson let out a chilling laugh. "That little money isn't even enough for me to have a meal. Do you think I'd
bother to trick you?
"You should know how much profit you have made from me over the years. It should be much more than this little amount,
right?"
Inigo gritted his teeth. "Then why change the location?
"You've been tracked."
"What? No way!"
"You were already being watched when you were at the black market. You thought no one would notice you among the crowds,
but there are gang members everywhere in the black market."
Jameson continued, "Alyssa's family is related to the Ivory Gang, the largest gang in Solana City. Once their people spot you, do
you think you can still hide?"

Inigo, being a foreigner, naturally didn't know how powerful the Ivory Gang's influence was in Solana City's underworld.
They were literally everywhere.
"Damn it! I don't care about any gangs. Even the Harpers were nothing to me. If they want to come to me, let them be." Inigo's
face was ferocious.
"Well, it seems like you really don't want to leave."
Jameson's tone turned cold. It was as if a sharp knife was being pressed against Inigo's neck. "You're now an internationally
wanted criminal. I'm sure the police have already traced you. If you don't do as I say, you might regret it forever."
Inigo had had enough of Jameson's control over him.
But being stranded in a foreign country, he had no choice but to rely on Jameson to get him out. Still, he couldn't help but retort,
"Hmph! You'd better not be playing any tricks!"
