Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1597
Josh had created a massive scandal from his forced demolition of the Tsulu village for the holiday resort project.Deep in worries, he had no time to deal with the public fallout. Victor had to suppress the news reports for him.Victor flipped in front of Josh and Jameson at the chairman's office. "What's wrong with you, you moron? It's illegal to demolish buildings by force in Cyrris. How dare you do it abroad? "You do know their police and authorities will come after you, right?" Victor gritted his teeth and poked a finger at Josh's temple, forcing the latter to stumble backward.Victor snapped, "You goon! Dumb as a doorknob! Do you want the Schmidt Group to meet an early demise?"Jameson pursed his lips silently as he adjusted his glasses. Meanwhile, Josh blushed in shame, his ego bruised by his dad.Feeling indignant, he hissed, "Dad, Jonah Taylor tricked us! He transferred a problematic parcel of land to me. He set up a trap for me."Victor's frown deepened."Josh, this i

In the face of Victor's accusations, Josh belatedly realized that he had shot himself in the foot. In the past, he had used a carrot-and-stick approach to mold David into a tool at his disposal, but never had he thought that Jameson would one day use it against him.Josh now unjustly carried the blame for David's death, and Victor treated him as the punching bag to deal with the grief and helplessness surrounding David's death."Dad, let's cool down and discuss. Your health will only suffer if you're emotional." Jameson hurried over and assisted Victor to take a seat on the couch.Then, he calmly explained to Josh, "Josh, you misunderstood me. I looked into the parcel of land but hesitated to inform you because I didn't want you to think that I was stepping over your toes or trying to mess up your project."You never had any trust in me, and I didn't want to deepen your mistrust. Dad only has you and me left. I do not want our relationship to be strained."Josh scoffed and thoug

Victor felt as though he was punched in the guts. "You loser… Josh Schmidt, you're a fucking loser!" Josh grew anxious when he noticed the majority of public opinion in favor of Jameson. He nearly broke his phone out of anger. "Jameson Schmidt, is this your doing? You must have leaked the news!""Josh, how can you be so clueless?" Jameson shook his head. "What do I gain from leaking the news? What good will it do for the company? I do not want a pyrrhic victory. Besides, I don't even have to mess with you. You're totally capable of doing that to yourself."Josh, utterly provoked, bellowed, "Jameson Schmidt, you petty, evil prick!"A smirk played on Jameson's lips as he maintained his gentlemanly image. When Victor wasn't looking, Jameson showed a glimpse of his provocating and evil nature.Victor rubbed his forehead. He had a complicated look in his eyes. "Who… Who had the audacity to…""3 o'Clock News is a media under the KS Group. KS Group and other foreign investors funded th

Carl sounded perplexed by Jameson's decision. He questioned, "You can totally get Josh out of the way and claim the president title if you settle the scandal in Tsulu."Jameson shook his head. "Victor Schmidt is a skeptical man. If I show my hand, I will only raise his suspicion about my intentions. However, he will think of me as rational, sensible, and diplomatic if I leave the matter to Josh."Carl inquired, "What if Josh successfully squashed the scandal?""Do you think I'll let that happen?" Jameson folded his legs and swirled the red wine in his glass. He exuded a dangerous air. "Since the Taylors have brought this scandal to the next level, I shall fuel the fire and make it spiral out of control."Get in touch with our men in Tsulu right now. Tell them to visit the hospital where the injured villagers stay. You know what to do next, don't you?"Carl got the hint. He nodded hard. "Yes. Got it."Amber's hands quivered. She knew that a vicious round of killings was about to s

While the Schmidts were deep in trouble, Jasper was busy with work. Winston's condition had recently stabilized. After sorting out Winston's matters, Jasper began working to create a charity foundation in Anne's name.Anne had passed on for years, but Jasper resolved to make the foundation great to show his love for his mother."Mr. Beckett, the charity dinner preparations are nearly complete. We'll need your decisions on certain details, such as the venue selection and the guest list." Xavier handed him some documents.Jasper carefully pored over the documents. He calmly asked, "Any updates on Javier Beckett lately?""Nothing suspicious, except for one issue." Xavier leaned forward. He lowered his voice into a whisper. "I looked into Mr. Javier's schedule abroad. "He was scheduled to attend a business meeting in Furancia for a week. He should have come home to Solana City after that, but he took a detour to Mosgravia."Jasper lifted his gaze. "Mosgravia?""Let's not forget who

Xavier gaped at Jasper, who threw his manners out of the window and gobbled up the food like a farm animal. For a moment, Jasper looked just like Landon."See, Mr. Beckett, Madam cares about you a lot. She prepared lunch for you because she knew you'd skip meals when you are busy." Xavier couldn't hold back from boasting and groveling. "You're lucky to have her as your wife!""Too bad she wasn't the one who delivered lunch to me." Jasper took a sip of water to help with his digestion after wolfing down lunch. He appeared really hungry.If Alyssa delivered lunch to him, he thought he might have a chance to satisfy his other desires. The mere thought of it put a grin on his face."Madam had always delivered food to you in the past, including desserts. You were the one who banned her from coming in," Xavier taunted with a smirk.Xavier's remark sent a stabbing pain through Jasper's chest—a lump formed in his throat.At that time, Xavier's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from T

Xavier was envious of Alyssa. If only he could marry Jasper too!"Ahem. That's unnecessary." Alyssa's voice softened. "I didn't date you to make you my human shield. I mean, you've done that a few times, but you're only human. Don't risk your life for me. You'll only break my heart."Heart racing, Jasper grinned widely. At that moment, he'd die for Alyssa.He said to her, "Lyse, I've finished the lunch you delivered to me."Then, he embarrassedly turned away. Breathing heavily, he croaked, "Can I enjoy 'supper' tonight?"…Meanwhile, the Schmidt Group was in deep trouble. The Tsulu government, provoked by the deaths, had officially prosecuted the local employees in charge of the demolition. On top of that, the government requested an astronomical amount of compensation from the company.Aware that the Schmidts were one of the four esteemed families in Cyrris, the Tsulu government extorted a three-billion-dollar payment from the Schmidt Group.The government couldn't care less f

Jameson no longer intended to conceal his evil intentions from Josh anymore. After all, he couldn't care less for a loser like Josh."So… Did you come home to exact your revenge on us? Were you behind what happened to David and Daisy? And now, are you out to get me? You shameless, filthy son of a bitch!" Shaking in anger, Josh was on the verge of a breakdown. "I'll tell Dad all about this! I'll tell him what you've done. He needs to see your true colors and your ugly face.""I have nothing to do with David's jail sentence. Jasper and Alyssa did that to him. They were also the ones who exposed Daisy. How was I involved in any way?" Jameson laughed at Josh's panicked rant. "Besides, do you think you have any credibility in front of Dad? He can't even stand looking at you. There's no way he'll believe in your nonsense."His grin sent shivers down Josh's spine. Josh regretted underestimating his rival. He had always dismissed Jameson as an abandoned son sidelined by the family; even if

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa

Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin
