Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Aidan's arrest caused an uproar, and Lovelace Group became the target of condemnation.

Although no concrete evidence yet linked the human drug experimentation to Lovelace Pharmaceuticals, suspicion was a powerful force. Once doubt crept in, innocence became a distant memory. "Mr. Schmidt, you're incredible! It's like you can see the future!"

Jameson smiled faintly. "Find an opportunity and get rid of him."
