Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Ms. Altman, it's been a while. You still look as lovely as before,” the man
complimented Amber with a gentle smile.
Amber looked stoic and cold. She lowered her gaze and replied humbly, "Sir,
thanks for the compliment.”
"You're indeed a woman groomed by Mr. Schmidt. You're gentle, demure, and
gracious. Sometimes, I feel that you're Alyssa Taylor herself. You're the best
substitute I've ever seen.”
Amber kept her silence, but she looked glum. By describing her as a substitute,
all his prior compliments sounded sarcastic to her.
Jameson did not continue on that topic. Instead, he opened the box and revealed
the antique vase to the man. "This is a Wiktorian-era pink frosted vase I got for
you from a Yoarkley auction. It's nothing special. I hope you don't mind it."
Sheryl lifted a brow in amusement. She had been keeping an eye on the vase for
her employer. In the end, an anonymous buyer won the bid with 50 million
dollars. She had not expected the buyer to be Jameson.
She thought, "Mr. Schmidt is indeed a thoughtful lapdog."
The man nodded softly. "Mr. Schmidt, that's very thoughtful of you. I'l need your
help on drug DAD0044."
Jameson nodded at him. "Don't worry. I'll give it my best.”
After Jameson and Amber left, silence fell on the scented room.
"Sir, whose face do you think is prettier—my face that you sculpted or Amber's
that resembles Alyssa Taylor?" Sheryl gently placed her hand on the man's
shoulder and whispered into his ear.
He smiled and patted his thigh. She obediently walked over and kneeled in front
of him. Then, she looked up at him with a tender gaze on her radiant face.
"Amber might be a carbon copy of Alyssa Taylor, but she'll never be her. She's a
low-grade substitute that Jameson Schmidt created to satisfy his desire." The
man leaned forward and placed a finger under her chin.
He lifted her chin slowly. "You are just you. You're a work of art I meticulously
crafted. That boring substitute is no match for my art piece.”
Sheryl's eyes glinted when she heard his words. To her, he was an omniscient
deity who categorized the beings in the world into two—those who belonged to
him and those who did not. She did not mind being described as an item.
"Sir, please forgive my bluntness." Kneeling on the floor, Sheryl started
massaging his leg. "I think this is the best opportunity for you to hit back.
"As Jameson Schmidt had said, the best way to manipulate a man is by gaining
his sympathy. I'm worried that Javier Beckett might hand the Beckett Group to
Jasper out of guilt."
The man chuckled. "No, he won't."
Sheryl opined, "Now that Sophia Kirkman is done for, there's no reason to keep
Betty Beckett in the family. Why don't you reveal the secret and get rid of both
mother and daughter? A useless chess piece will only be an eyesore in the
game."
"We've not reached the end yet. How would you know she's useless?"
Sheryl was surprised by the remark.

Sophia had appealed against the sentence on the same day. Ten days later, the
appellate court affirmed the sentence, which meant that she would still face the
death penalty.

From that moment onward, she felt
as if she had gone blind. She spent
each day curled up in a corner of her
cell, staring blankly at the tiny
window. That would go on from
dawn to night. Everything around her
