Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2174

Amber was being held hostage by Carl as he retreated toward the back of the church in an attempt to escape. However, there was nowhere for him to run.

The church was surrounded by the police on all sides. Carl was already at the end of his rope. He was at a dead end!

'Stop resisting!" Carl snarled, tightening his grip on Amber. Her face paled as she struggled for breath, her lips turning purple.

Amber rasped, "You can't escape. It's over for both you and Jameson."

"Shut up!" Carl roared, his eyes bloodshot and body trembling violently.

Unexpectedly, Amber burst into laughter, her eyes filled with delight and relief.

With no other option, Carl dragged her up the ten-story old tower at the church's back. All exits were blocked, leaving them trapped. The only option was to call for backup. If a helicopter arrived, they might still escape with their lives.

Carl called his trusted aides and subordinates, but none answered. It was as if they had all agreed upon this. 'Fuck! They're just a bunch of ungrateful bastards!" he raged.

Amber laughed. "Did you really think you're still the exalted secretary of the chairman at Schmidt Group? Do you honestly think these mongrels at Kontina would obey your orders?"

Amber's eyes twinkled with glee, not hiding her disgust and mockery toward him. "You befriended them for mutual benefit and power. Now that those are lost, they've turned their backs on you."
