Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1823

Alyssa's and Jasper's expressions turned solemn after listening.

"If not, it could be that he cleans up the scene thoroughly every time he commits a crime, leavingno trace behind. But that doesn't quite fit the modus operandi of an outlaw or top-tier assassin.”Cyrus traced his jawline with his finger as he calmly analyzed the situation. "So, I'm inclined tobelieve he's a hired assassin from abroad.”

"If that's the case, it'll be even more difficult to investigate him. Once this job is done, he'll disappearimmediately. He'd probably use a false identity to flee the country.” Jasper's gaze darkenedgradually.

"Didn't Ms. Angelina see his face? She can come to our station tomorrow and describe his facebased on her memory. I can arrange for a top-notch profiler from our city to come and draw aportrait of that assassin.”

Cyrus' eyes flashed with determination. "Having a sketch might provide more clues. We can't delaytoo long. People’s memories fade, and the likeness of the portrait can become distorted. The mostaccurate portrait will be drawn while the memory is fresh.”

Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks. Just as they were about to speak, a sweet and composed voicespoke from behind.

"I remember his face."

Cyrus swiftly lifted his gaze.

Seeing Lauren descend the stairs gracefully, he felt his heart throb in his chest. He hurriedly stoodup from the couch.

The hot blood that once flowed calmly through his veins now seemed to stir restlessly.

Jasper suddenly remembered. "Right, Lauren had contact with that man too."

Pressing her lips together, Alyssa walked over to Lauren and gently wrapped her arm around hershoulder. "Lauren, we'll contact Angelina tomorrow and have her assist with this. You don't need todo anything or think about it. The most important thing is to focus on getting well."

She knew that although Lauren seemed fine on the outside, her soul was suffering from the traumaof her episodes and the torment of her breakup with Landon.

Alyssa wished she could replace the time to arrange modified electroconvulsive therapy for Lauren,hoping it would help her completely forget that painful day.

She couldn't bear to see Lauren forced to relive that trauma, especially during such a critical time,which would only compound her suffering.

"Lauren, don't force yourself," Cyrus said as he looked at her deeply. His voice was slightly hoarse."Your health and well-being are more important than anything else.”

"Alyssa, Cyrus, it's okay." Lauren gently shook her head, and her eyes showed determination.

"I'm fine now. I just want to help you all as much as I can. And I also want to catch that person touncover the terrifying conspiracy behind it. I want to know who is manipulating the Harpers, usingme, and hurting Landon.”

Alyssa's and Jasper's hearts clenched with a bitter ache.

In the past few days, they hadn't told her much. Yet Lauren, clever as she was, had pieced togetherthe sequence of events from their scattered words.

Staring into Lauren's reddened eyes, he sensed her deep affection when she mentioned Landon.She loved him deeply, and he could see that. She loved him so deeply that there was no room foranother person in her heart.

Jasper looked surprised. "Lauren, you still love—"

"I just want to do something more for him." Lauren interrupted him immediately with a smile."He's always taken care of me, accommodated me, and sacrificed for me. I want to do everything Ican before officially leaving him."

Leaving?

Cyrus stared at her wide-eyed, and his heart pounded intensely.

But he didn't have the intention to take advantage of the situation, nor did he feel any joy in thisopportunity. He was only worried about whether she could handle it.

Alyssa lowered her gaze to hide her red-rimmed eyes.

Sensing her emotional fluctuations, Jasper took her hand and pressed it against his chest, silentlycomforting her.

At this moment, Cyrus approached Lauren. His tall and robust figure, leaning toward her, exudedstrength and authority, yet his gaze toward her was filled with gentleness.
