Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1770

Axel began, "I came to see you because I was worried something might happen to you."

"What could possibly happen to me? I'll be fine, so don't do this again.” Amber didn't dare look upto meet Axel's eyes. She was trembling slightly as goosebumps erupted on her skin. "Please seekout trouble elsewhere from now on, Mr. Whitaker.

"I hope I never see you at The Millenium again. Or should I say... I hope to never see you again aftertonight.”

Axel's eyes darkened. "You can't really stop me.”

Amber gnawed on her lip. She knew Axel was intelligent enough to understand her impliedmeaning. Why was he still so stubborn then?

These Taylors were too troublesome!

Axel slowly observed Amber's expression with unreadable eyes. Though Amber was known to bedeadly and beautiful, she was still behaving like a delicate, pitiful little bunny before him. Eventhough she looked very similar to Alyssa, Axel still saw a different, startling beauty from her everytime they met.

No wonder Jameson would spend so much time cultivating Amber. She really was quite gorgeousto the extent that no man would be able to hold their own before her.

It was a shame that Amber's skills failed when it came to Axel. After all, Axel basically flirted andmanipulated for a living.

"Josh was only arrested so successfully tonight because of the clues you gave us.”

Axel composed himself again and said nonchalantly, “I wonder if Jameson might soon trace thisback to you once his brother falls and wipes you out of the picture.

"After all, Jameson did originally plan to use this as leverage against Josh. Now his plan has gonebust... Hahaha! He must be so fucking pissed right now, huh?"

Amber stayed silent. The intimate atmosphere had been ruined by Axel's humor.

"Mr. Jameson still has use for me. He won't try and do anything too serious to me unless he's foundcredible evidence." Amber then smiled, heart aching deeply.

"Even if he did have evidence, he wouldn't do anything to me either. I'm sure anyone would have afondness for their pet after keeping it around for so long, what more another human being? Not tomention someone who resembles Ms. Alyssa Taylor.

"So don't worry needlessly for me. What happened last time will never happen again. Let's never seeone another anymore either. You won't gain anything from me. Our cooperation comes to an endhere."

Amber sounded like she was trying to break up with Axel. She was trying so hard to convince Axelto give up. Yet Axel's chest tensed uncomfortably when she said that their collaboration was tocome to an end there.

It wasn't just because Axel still remembered the task Alyssa entrusted him. Rather, he felt slightlyupset.

Amber might have been the one who initiated this game, but Axel had to be the one to call it quits!Amber felt a weight on her shoulders before Axel turned her around, forcing their eyes to meet.Axel's arms caged her in against the sink as he gazed deeply at her, making her heart waver soterribly. He clasped Amber's chin in a tender gesture, their breaths mingling in the air.

Amber's eyes began growing hazy while Axel's grew heavy with desire.

"If you had a chance to permanently be free of Jameson Schmidt's control and turn over a new leaf,would you?" Axel asked silently.

Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Several seconds later, she smiled and hooked a finger in Axel'scollar. "No. If I have to rot in hell, I'd rather do it while staying by Jameson's side.”
