Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2180

The rooftop air was so thick it felt stagnant. Overwhelming pressure and fear made Carl tremble. Even his gun- holding hand shook uncontrollably.

He hesitated to disengage the safety, fearing a panicked misfire.

Tragedy was imminent, and he knew it was now every man for himself. Jameson no longer cared about him. At a crucial juncture, Jameson would even sell him out.

Thus, he had prepared himself beforehand. He was confident in his wits and ability to escape unpunished to a faraway land.

Amber had brought him to this state. He wanted to give the woman he loved a wedding-a beautiful beginning. Even a rat in the sewers craves the sun for a moment.

So, he wanted Amber to live. He had to keep her alive. Otherwise, all he had invested would turn to dust!
