Ch. 1341..1350

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1341-On the same night, Alyssa and Jasper decided to move back home. Before they left, Lauren cried her heart out in Alyssa's arms, crumpling Alyssa's black dress in her tight grip and staining Alyssa's outfit in tears.

People would have thought the two were saying a final farewell.

Alyssa spent some time consoling Lauren and promised to visit. Besides that, she reminded Landon to bring Lauren out for fresh air instead of treating her like a bird in a gilded cage.

Landon immediately vowed to do so. Hugging his crying wife, the two stood at the entrance and watched as Alyssa and Jasper departed.

On the journey, Alyssa couldn't hold back anymore. Tears slid down her cheeks like fallen stars in the night sky.

"Lyse, don't cry." Jasper breathed heavily when he saw her crying. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and offered a comforting hug. He rubbed his chin on her hair, saying, "You'll see each other again. If you miss Lauren, just invite her to stay at our place.

"Or how about I buy a bigger place for the three of us to live together? I'll appoint Angelina as the president's secretary. That ought to keep her busy. Mrs. Rosie will take care of Lauren instead. Doesn't that sound good?"

"Hmph! Are you sure you're Landon's friend? That's a rotten idea." Sniffling, she poked at his chest.

"They haven't spent much time together. Are you seriously trying to separate them just to make me happy? Jasper, you're a heartless prick. Even if Lauren doesn't protest, Landon will curse you every day for it."

Taken aback by her reaction, he soon responded by kissing her lips. After some intimate moments, he smiled bitterly and admitted, "I didn't think it through. I thought it was a good idea since Lauren looked reluctant to part with you."

"It was you who told me not to interrupt them," she playfully accused, her breathing labored after the kissing.

Eyes brimming with tears, she added, "So, leave them alone."

Staring at her alluring eyes, he grinned. "Lyse, are you telling me to leave them alone because you want some private time with me?"

Her cheeks burned from shame. She bit her lips and mumbled, "I… I'm not telling you."

He smiled dotingly and was about to kiss her when he was interrupted by her ringing phone. She struggled to leave his arms and grumbled, "Mmph… I need to take the call."

Her chest tightened when she saw it was a call from Tatiana. Tatiana was the only sibling who rarely got into trouble. She'd never call unless there was an emergency.

Alyssa immediately answered, "Taty, what's wrong?" novelbin "Lyse, please! Please save Sean…" Tatiana broke down upon hearing Alyssa's voice. Tears flowing, she revealed, "He. The police have arrested him!"

Feeling her heart sinking, Alyssa rasped, "Sean's arrested? When was that?"

Jasper's eyes wavered. He silently grasped her sweating palm.

Tatiana confessed, "It. It happened a few days back."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1342-Days of worry had driven Tatiana to the brink of insanity. Shedding tears, she said, "Mom and I tried to come up with a solution. The Lynch family tried to get help, but we all failed to get him out."

"What? Why did you only tell me now?" Alyssa gasped, her heart leaping into her mouth.

"Lyse, keep calm. You don't want to scare Taty," reminded Jasper.

He held his hand and gently calmed her down. "Tell Taty not to panic and share everything with you."

Taking a deep breath, Alyssa apologized with guilt. "Sorry, Taty. I was too harsh on you earlier. Don't cry. Tell me everything. I'm eager to know which idiot laid a finger on my staff. I'll make them pay for it!"

Although they were panicking, Jasper had to stifle a laugh when he heard Alyssa's adorable threat.

"It's. It's the Schmidts." Tatiana sobbed. "I think his family was upset that he got beaten up after what happened to me. They're now giving Sean trouble.

"Sean was arrested for aggravated assault. David Schmidt even underwent a health assessment and blamed all his injuries on Sean. The police concluded that Sean had severely injured David."

Naturally, David seized the opportunity to blame his impotence on Sean's attack. With the Schmidts' influence, manipulating the assessment results was a breeze.

"That son of a bitch! I've shown him mercy by sparing his life. How dare the Schmidts hit back at us?"

Anger rolled through her.

Tatiana added, "The Schmidts do not plan to settle in private…"

"Yeah, there's no way they'll do that. They want Sean dead!" Alyssa rubbed her temples. Hatred pulsed through her, causing her heart to race. "Only Josh Schmidt could do something like this. Maybe Simon's involved too!"

"Simon? Simon is Sean's brother. He couldn't possibly do that!" Tatiana was in disbelief.

"It's very plausible." Jasper caressed Alyssa on the back. His eyes were as deep as an abyss. "Simon Lynch is a top attorney in Solana City, but he hasn't done anything since his brother was arrested.

Doesn't that sound odd to you?

"Besides, after hearing you and Alyssa out, it seems that Simon and Sean have a strained relationship.

He might take advantage of David's situation to get Sean into trouble, and you know why."

"But Sean is his brother! How could he?" Tatiana growled in resentment.

"Simon only cares about fame and power. To him, family isn't important. That's how heartless he is."

Alyssa punched the car window, startling Xavier and Jasper. They were concerned about whether she had injured herself.

She seethed, "I was the one who taught David a lesson, but they went for Sean. They were clearly bullying the weak!"

"Lyse, I'm here for you," Jasper whispered, gently caressing her swollen hand.

"Knowing Sean, he'll keep everything to himself because he doesn't want to burden me," Alyssa said, choking on tears. "I've been careless. All I cared about was revenge. I never thought that I might endanger the people around me. Why am I so useless?"

Once meticulous, she had become desensitized to the world's dangers since falling in love.

"Lyse, don't blame yourself for what happened to Sean," Tatiana comforted her.

Jasper held Alyssa's shaking hand and took her phone. He replied, "Taty, don't worry. Leave the matter to me. I'll make sure he comes home before tomorrow evening.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1343-Alyssa widened her eyes, staring blankly at Jasper's attractive side profile. Tatiana fell silent on the other end of the line. She was sobbing quietly.

"What's wrong? One of you is staring at me. The other one went quiet." Grinning, he pinched Alyssa on her cheeks. "Is no one willing to trust me?"

"No, that's not it…" Tatiana said with gratitude, "Jasper, thank you so much for helping Sean. I'm really thankful."

"We're family. Don't mention it." Once Jasper soothed Tatiana's emotions, he hung up and instructed Xavier, "Make a turn. Let's head to the police station."

Xavier immediately made a U-turn.

"Jasper, what's your plan?" Worry was etched on Alyssa's face. On the contrary, he appeared calm.

"No matter what, let's focus on saving Sean for now." Sighing, Jasper locked his fingers with her and tightened his grip. "Taty and Sean went through a lot just to be together. I do not wish to see them going through a tough time anymore. I want to protect them from harm."

Alyssa held her breath and mused, "Are you empathizing with them now?"

He shook his head and pulled her into a hug. "I used to be, but not anymore because I have achieved my happiness."

Sean had been detained at the filthy detention center for two weeks. If the Schmidts refused to settle in private, he might have to stay on longer. Despite the challenges, he refused to rat on Alyssa and Jasper.

Even if he were to go to prison, he would shoulder all the blame and maintain his integrity.

At that moment, Sean stood with his back against the wall. He crossed his arms and shut his eyes.

Across from him, a few men cowered in the corner and shot cautious glances at him while chatting with each other.

"You're disturbing me." Without looking at them, Sean threatened, "Shut up, or I'll beat you up."

The men in detention promptly fell silent as they trembled under his threat. Seeing that, Sean let out a melancholic sigh. Life had been chaotic ever since his first night at the detention center.

The Schmidts had specially arranged for his cellmates to rough him up, having no idea that Sean had a black belt in martial arts. Sean ended up beating up his cellmates.

Sean shook his head. He was surprised that the Schmidts arranged for him to stay with a few weaklings. They seemed to have underestimated his ability.

Anyway, he treated it as a test run. In the worst-case scenario where he was sent to jail, at least life wouldn't be as difficult.

Little did he know that Alyssa and Jasper had arrived at the police station. Aware of Cyrus Taylor's presence in the police force, the Schmidts had slickly got Sean detained at the West Division of the Solana City Police Department, where the police chief Gabe Barrett was a friend of theirs.

Gabe looked wary when Alyssa and Jasper showed up. He hurriedly called up Josh, "M-Mr. Schmidt, Alyssa Taylor and Jasper Beckett are here in the meeting room. W-What do we do?"

"Do what you need." Josh gritted his teeth. "Why are you scared of them when you have the backing of our family? Your promotion depends on your handling of the case. You must stand up against them, no matter how they pressure you. Do not release Sean Lynch. We need to charge him with aggravated assault."

"Sure, I'll try my best." Gabe wiped away his sweat and added, "But Mr. Schmidt, I wonder why you're hung up on Alyssa Taylor's secretary. You gain nothing from making yourself the enemy of the Taylor family."

"That's none of your business. Just do as I say," Josh hissed and hung up with a look of malice. "How could he say that I'll gain nothing? Pfft. I never lose out."

Josh had bribed the few witnesses whom the police had contacted. The female victims would "admit"

that they had engaged in consensual sex with David in their relationship with him.

With the accounts from the witnesses and the injuries David sustained from Sean's assault, Josh could effectively paint David as the victim.

Not only that, Alyssa would be at the center of public criticism and perceived as abusing her power to right personal wrongs. Considering the toxicity of the online environment, the netizens would be more than eager to release their frustration on the rich without caring for the truth.

Josh popped a bottle of champagne and enjoyed it alone. He cackled. "Alyssa Taylor, are you trying to fight me? You were still a fledgling when I was already in the business!"

Gabe stared at the two VIPs in his office. He forced a smile despite being drenched in sweat. Even with the backing of the Schmidts, he cowered under the pressure of the two dazzling and intimidating figures.

Smiling, he greeted them, "So, what brings you here?"

"We're here for what the Schmidts have done," Alyssa offered a piercing reply with a snicker, which he perceived as threatening.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1344-Alyssa's formidable presence hung over Gabe like the sword of Damocles. He chuckled nervously.

"How about some tea for now?"

"It's fine. That's some truly expensive tea that I can't possibly accept," Alyssa addressed him coldly, crossing her legs. "Release my secretary from detention. This is a private matter between the Taylors and the Schmidts. Stay out of this if you still want a promotion and want to avoid trouble."

Alyssa had always gone straight to the point without wasting time. That nearly wiped off Gabe's smile, but he persisted, "Ms. Alyssa, I understand your feelings, but based on my three decades of experience dealing with multiple cases in the department, those brought in are mostly guilty.

"Sean Lynch might be one of your staff, but he has committed aggravated assault after beating up David Schmidt. Besides, I've turned in the assessment results to my superiors."

Frowning deeply, Alyssa tightened her fists on the arm of the chair.

Gabe went on, "You might be two important figures in Solana City, but everyone is equal before the law. Even scions and heirs are not above the law. My apologies, Ms. Alyssa, but I can't grant your wish."

"Mr. Barrett, you're glib, aren't you? Equality before the law?" Jasper sneered as he held Alyssa's cold hand.

He authoritatively questioned, "If so, you shouldn't falsely accuse an innocent citizen. Don't you think?"

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, she seemed to have understood Jasper's move, which added to her astonishment.

"Mr. Beckett, what do you mean by that?" Gabe exclaimed.

"Sean Lynch did not beat up David Schmidt. I did." A smirk played on Jasper's lips. The gleam in his eyes resembled that of a blade. "Release Sean Lynch and arrest me instead."

Holding her breath, Alyssa grabbed Jasper's hand. "Jasper! You…"

Meanwhile, Gabe stared agape at Jasper. He was at a loss for what to do next.

"What's wrong, Mr. Barrett? Since I've turned myself in, shouldn't you do your job now?" Jasper said with calm, caressing Alyssa on her waist to comfort her. "Why? Does your 'equality before the law' only apply to the ordinary citizens but not scions?"

"No, no. Mr. Beckett, did you hear yourself." Gabe started to stammer and stutter from the shock.

He was in a dilemma after the Beckett Group's president turned himself in, claiming that he had beaten up David Schmidt. Josh's warning rang in his ears, but he was too afraid to arrest Jasper.

"If so, count me in," Alyssa spoke with a lift of her brow. She grinned knowingly. "Didn't you ask David Schmidt the person who fractured his fingers and broke his front teeth? Oh, by the way, I'm also the reason behind his erectile dysfunction. Did that bastard not tell you about these details at all?"

"M-Ms. Alyssa, aggravated assault comes with a heavy sentence. I know you're eager to protect your employee, but you can't fool around!" Gabe wiped away his sweat furiously.

"Lyse, don't play around," Jasper chimed in and pinched her on the waist.

"I'm not. I'm serious." Looking deep into his alluring eyes, she smiled. "I'll go wherever you are because we're a couple."

Her words shook him to the core. His heart raced wildly, and his breath quickened.

Alyssa was his wife, and she'd be his only love in this life.

"Hmph! I did not expect the two of you to resort to this dirty trick just to protect Sean Lynch." A sarcastic voice boomed in the office. In walked Josh Schmidt with a scowl.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1345-Gabe nearly shed tears of relief when Josh showed up to the rescue. Following closely behind Josh was Simon Lynch, to everyone's surprise.

After the call just now, Josh was plagued by concern and decided to drop by. He also reached out to Simon and updated the latter, inviting him to settle this issue concerning David.

Initially, Simon thought of refusing as he had not gotten over Josh's humiliation. However, when he learned of Alyssa and Jasper's intervention, he immediately grabbed the chance to humiliate the couple.

Alyssa gritted her teeth as rage flashed across her eyes. Josh's despicable face resembled that of a movie villain.

"Mr. Schmidt, I had no idea you engaged Simon Lynch's legal assistance." Jasper snickered. "You probably know his relationship to Sean, don't you?"

"Of course. So what?" Josh flashed a malicious smile. "Is there anything wrong with hiring Simon Lynch, the top attorney, to work on my brother's case?"

"Why doesn't Simon Lynch support his own brother? Instead, he's helping the plaintiff to put his brother in prison. What do we call this? Selling yourself to the enemy?" Jasper's eyes were filled with disdain.

Simon glared at Jasper with a smug look on his face. "Gosh, I'm honored to be critized by you, Mr.

Beckett. I'm simply doing my job here. Why would you stand at the moral high ground to criticize me? "You're only making things difficult for us attorneys. Based on your logic, do attorneys who defend murderers deserve to be punished as well?"

As if that wasn't insulting enough, he blinked, feigning innocence. "Mr. Beckett, are you feeling worried because you didn't hire a good enough attorney for Sean? Had I known, I would have declined Mr.

Schmidt's offer!"

Alyssa's veins were throbbing from the anger. She would have knocked out Simon's teeth and kicked him in the balls, sending him to the hospital just like what she had done with David.

"I have no need to hire an attorney for Sean because he's innocent." Jasper, to Simon's surprise, wasn't provoked by the insults. Instead, he laughed out loud. "Even if I need an attorney, I would never hire you.

"Even animals care for their flesh and blood, unlike you, who have no ethics at all. It's best if you work for Josh Schmidt—birds of a feather flock together."

"Pfft! Well said, Jasper!" Alyssa laughed and applauded Jasper's speech.

Gabe, however, found no humor in the situation. Cowering in a corner, he feared the conflict might escalate.

"Jasper Beckett, there's no point in arguing," Josh, blinded by rage, retorted. "Our family will make you pay for what you did to David. You're delusional if you think you can save Sean by leveraging your influence."

Simon patted Josh on the shoulder, cautioning him against saying more to avoid legal consequences.

He then turned to Gabe and remarked, "Mr. Barrett, you and your colleagues need to improve your efficiency. We've been conversing with Mr. Beckett and Ms. Alyssa for a while now. Why hasn't the paperwork been processed yet?"

Gabe and Josh were similarly confused by Simon's remark. Just then, they heard a knock on the door.

A policeman entered with a file in his hand, which he handed to Gabe. He reported, "Chief, this is Sean's admission of guilt. He's signed it."

Alyssa and Jasper's faces fell upon hearing this.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1346-"Sean? Why would he?" Alyssa's mind went blank. Had Jasper not held her right in time, she would have lost her balance.

"Is this true? Has Sean Lynch admitted to all the charges?" Gabe's eyes lit up. He repeatedly checked the document for confirmation.

"It's true, Chief. It's in black and white. Sean Lynch has admitted to assaulting David Schmidt, and he's willing to receive the punishment."

The turn of events was a welcomed change for the Schmidts. Despite sending in different policemen across shifts to continuously interrogate Sean, Sean did not budge at all. He'd rather be imprisoned indefinitely than admit to his guilt.

But why the change of mind? What exactly happened?

"Lyse, how are you feeling?" Jasper was concerned by Alyssa's pale face. He hugged her tight on her waist and sensed her body stiffening. He felt sorry for her.

"Sean did not do anything wrong. Why did he admit to his guilt?" Alyssa's eyes filled with hatred. She shook her head indignantly. "Is he an idiot? He can't just admit to guilt without care! Does he want to go to prison?"

"Right. How could he?" Simon squinted with a knowing smile. "I'm sure he was aware of the consequences as a former top student in law school. Ms. Alyssa, what's the point of poking your nose into his case?"

Feeling a stabbing pain in her heart, she suddenly connected the dots.

An hour ago, Gabe gave Simon special permission to visit Sean discreetly. There wasn't an ounce of affection between the siblings when they met, only tension and hatred.

"Tsk tsk. Look at you, Sean. What have you done to yourself?" Scrutinizing Sean, Simon shook his head and clicked his tongue. "If Dad and Mom know you're going to prison for Tatiana Taylor, they'll pass out from crying. You've given them so much trouble."

"Didn't your owner put you on a leash today? It's annoying, you barking in front of me." Sean closed his eyes, unwilling to look at his brother.

Simon merely scoffed. He did not seem provoked, merely saying, "We're brothers. Let's play nice."

"Don't call yourself my brother. It disgusts me."

"Haha! Fine. Let's talk about something that might be of interest to you." Simon slowly slid his phone to Sean. A video was playing. "Take a look at this."

Frowning, Sean turned to the video. Dumbstruck by what he witnessed, he rose and punched the table, yelping, "Simon Lynch, what are you planning to do?"

The video was a recording of Alyssa and Jasper breaking into the hotel room at the Jesseltons' event.

What happened later was history.

Soon, the scene showed Jonah beating up David, who had already been badly roughed up then. The video clearly recorded Jonah dragging David away.

Oddly, Sean's presence was nowhere to be seen, even though he was at the scene that night.

"Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett were meticulous. After beating up David, they wiped the footage of their crime from the hotel surveillance camera, but they slipped up this time. They forgot that deleted footage is recoverable within a week with the help of experts."

An evil grin played on Simon's lips. He added with a sigh, "To recover the footage, I went to Mosgravia and spent hundreds of thousands to hire the best hacker. Thankfully, it all paid off."

"Simon, you're falsifying evidence! Aren't you scared of losing your license and being investigated by the Department of Justice?" Sean growled at his brother, his face turning white. His veins bulged.

"Falsification of evidence? Where?" Simon opened his arms and smiled cunningly. "My dear brother, you were at the scene that night. You knew who roughed up David Schmidt. It's obvious from the video that Alyssa and Jasper acted out, and Jonah helped them to clean up the mess. When did you even beat David? At least I didn't see it."

Sean felt a piercing pain in his chest. He bellowed, "Just come at me! Do not do anything to Ms.

Alyssa!"

"Oh, I need to tell you this as well." Simon's fingers intertwined. Leaning forward, he stared coldly at Sean, "Ms. Alyssa is on her way to save you. If my guess is correct, she'd turn herself in and take all the blame to secure your release."

"Ms. Alyssa… No…" Sean repeatedly shook his head as he grappled with the heartache.

"Either you or the Taylors would have to take the responsibility. The video evidence and David's injuries won't lie. Sean, you're close to Ms. Alyssa. You wouldn't want her involved, would you?"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1347-To protect Alyssa, Sean turned himself in without hesitation and signed his admission of guilt. Without seeking Josh's approval, Simon executed a bold maneuver to resolve the issue once and for all, catching Alyssa and Jasper off guard.

Jasper hugged Alyssa tight and shot a glare at Simon's smug face. "Simon Lynch, what trick have you pulled on Sean to make him confess?"

"Tricks? Mr. Beckett, I'm breaking under all your verbal assaults. You might have to compensate me for moral damages." Simon rubbed his chest, but the glee on his face betrayed his feelings. "It's the police's job to interrogate the suspect. As an attorney, I have no place to do so. Look, Sean willingly signed the admission of guilt. I did not force him at all."

"Simon Lynch, karma will hit you one day. Besides, it's too early to claim you've won." Alyssa stared at him resentfully as she clutched Jasper's hand tightly, the only way to keep her composure.

"We shall see. I'm intrigued to learn how you'll beat me. Don't keep me waiting too long." The malicious smile on Simon's face was at odds with his gentlemanly appearance.

They had been negligent, forgetting about the threat Simon Lynch posed. Despite the marked contrast in integrity between the brothers, Simon knew Sean inside and out, having grown up together.

Alyssa and Jasper had not arrived at the police station when Simon engaged Sean in the conversation.

At that time, Simon threatened Sean with Alyssa and Tatiana's wellbeing, knowing that Sean would willingly sacrifice for them.

The look in Josh's eyes darkened. He was amazed by Simon's secret maneuvers that saved the day.

Despite securing Sean's admission of guilt, Josh did not feel thankful to Simon, who had betrayed his family for personal gains.

Josh agreed with Jasper on one thing—Simon was a heartless bastard. If Simon could betray his sibling, Josh knew it was a matter of time before Simon sold him out for personal gain. Therefore, he had to be wary of Simon.

"Mr. Barrett, now that the suspect has admitted guilt, we may kickstart the legal procedure and bring him to court," suggested Simon.

He couldn't wait to indict Sean to get back at Alyssa. Gabe shared the same goal, as he wanted to ingratiate himself with the Schmidts. Therefore, he agreed with Simon, "Now that we have evidence, let's kickstart the procedure—"

"Wait a minute!" To everyone's astonishment, a loud, clear voice cut through the tension, startling everyone.

Alyssa gasped, "Jonah!"

"Lyse, you should have told me if you planned to come here." Jonah playfully glared at his sister. "Am I nothing to you now that you have your man?"

"Exactly! We have been worried about the two of you," Julien chimed in, standing behind Jonah.

Despite the stern tone, Julien winked playfully at Alyssa from behind Jonah.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1348-Alyssa was rendered speechless at Julien's behavior in this tense situation. Suddenly, it occurred to her that Jasper did not seem surprised by Jonah's arrival. Was he in the know?

"Jasper, did you call Jonah…" Her voice trailed off.

She widened her eyes, staring quizzically at Jasper. His eyes twinkled as he whispered into her ear, "Sorry, Lyse. It wasn't my intention to keep it a secret from you. I didn't ask Jonah to show up. I merely told Xavier to give Jonah a heads-up after we left for the police station.

"I didn't expect him to show up at all. It shows how much he cares about Sean, but more importantly, he's concerned about you. By the way, why is Dr. Lovelace here as well? Why do they always show up together?"

While Jasper was musing, Alyssa grinned and gestured at him to come close. He inched closer, and she revealed in a whisper, "I called Dr. Lovelace."

Jasper was surprised at the revelation. It seemed that Alyssa had kept a secret from him as well. The calculating couple seemed to operate in sync.

"Is a secretary worth that effort?" Josh snickered at Jonah. "Anyway, it's too late now. Sean Lynch has confessed. Do you remember what your dad said in an interview before? One should take responsibility for one's actions. I'd like to remind you of the same."

As heirs of their respective family businesses, Josh and Jonah would inevitably clash as business rivals. Despite making all the necessary preparations, Josh had lost out to Jonah in every competition for projects the KS Group was interested in.

Frustrated by maintaining a friendly facade for the sake of family friendship, Josh relished the opportunity to express his animosity now that they were in direct opposition.

Jonah faced the situation with calm. Squinting, he warned, "Sean is not just any ordinary secretary. Did you not know that he's my dad's godson? You're his brother, but his life is worth more than yours."

After learning that Winston Taylor had taken Sean as a godson, Simon's face reddened in anger.

Envious, he thought, "It seemed that all of Sean's bootlicking has paid off."

"Mr. Barrett, do you not care about evidence at all? Let's say I make an outrageous claim right now. Are you going to arrest and charge me?" Julien took a step forward, smirking.

Gabe swiftly clarified, "Our decisions are based on evidence. Sir, please refrain from making baseless accusations." "Really? Why don't you take a good look at this, then?" With that, Julien tossed an envelope onto the table.

Gabe picked it up with astonishment and extracted the document from within. His eyes widened. "W- What is this?"

"It's David Schmidt's previous diagnosis. God knows how much effort and networking I put in to get this from the hospital archives."

Josh and Simon's expressions dropped upon seeing the evidence. Meanwhile, Jasper gazed at Alyssa with admiration.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1349-Jasper finally understood the reason behind Alyssa calling Julien. It was part of her plan from the start. "No… How is this possible?"Josh seized the diagnosis from Gabe, meticulously scrutinizing its contents. His eyes bulged out of his head.

At the same time, Simon turned white, and his heart drummed.

"Mr. Schmidt, I can't believe your family has kept the diagnosis secret. Alyssa, or Dr. White, has saved David's life upon your father's request." Julien glared at Josh disdainfully. "You don't seem grateful to her. Not only that, you're also making her responsible for David's old injuries. You hid the truth by manipulating the diagnosis. That's a really despicable thing to do."

Before this, Josh and Simon had discussed pinning David's erectile dysfunction on Sean to indict Sean under aggravated assault, which carried a heavier sentence.

Therefore, Josh hid away the real diagnosis and worked with Gabe to charge Sean. To their dismay, their carefully crafted plan had been overturned by Julien with ease.

Alyssa cast a grateful look at Julien. He replied with a look in his eyes, telling her not to worry about it.

The Schmidts had thought they were invincible in Solana City, but they finally had a taste of the Lovelaces' ultimate authority in the medical field.

"Alyssa Taylor must bear full responsibility for David's impotence!" Josh blurted out in the heat of the moment.

He accused, "David wouldn't be in this situation if she hadn't performed that surgery on him!"

A hush descended upon Gabe's office. Simon's heart sank, realizing it was too late to stop the guilty Josh, who had crumbled under pressure. Josh's actions validated Julien's claim that Sean was not responsible for David's erectile dysfunction.

"What a dumbass!" Simon seethed, wondering how a loser like Josh was appointed the president of Schmidt Group in the first place.

"Gosh, Mr. Schmidt, are you illiterate or visually impaired?" Julien crossed his arms in annoyance. "It's all written down in the diagnosis. The cause of David Schmidt's erectile dysfunction was the anesthetic and hormonal injections performed before and after the surgery. Lyse had nothing to do with it."

Jonah grinned at Julien, his eyes full of affection.

"W-Who even are you? It's not your place to speak!" Josh curled his fists in anger as he approached Julien.

Julien's expression hardened upon facing the threat. Jonah almost instinctively stood in front of him to shield him from danger.

Before Josh knew it, Jonah had shoved him onto the floor.

"No! Mr. Schmidt, watch out!"

Josh stumbled backward amid the screams of Gabe and Simon. He'd have crashed hard onto the floor if they had not grabbed him.

"Mr. Jonah, are you seriously planning to commit physical assault in a police station?" Simon confronted him through gritted teeth.

"Of course not." Jonah tightened his fists and cracked his knuckles as he cast a menacing look at Josh.

"However, if he raises his voice at Dr. Lovelace again, I might break his nose."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1350-Despite putting on a brave face, Josh had been gripped by fear. His legs went weak. Simon kept his silence under Jonah's intimidating gaze.

Alyssa found herself moved by Jonah's protectiveness. Knowing Jonah, he was aloof and rarely displayed his emotions. Apart from family and Sean, he showed no care for almost anyone else.

Hence, she was surprised by his unusual action toward Julien. At the same time, she noticed Julien gazing at Jonah tenderly, prompting her to muse over their seemingly intimate connection. Why did they look like a couple in her eyes?

Before she could delve further into her thoughts, Simon interjected, "Mr. Jonah, Sean will face assault charges even if we start anew. According to the law, confirmed assault, supported by a medical expert, carries a three-year sentence. Sean can't escape his fate."

Simon argued vehemently, displaying a hostility that made it hard to believe he was Sean's older brother. The materialistic and selfish world had transformed him into a heartless monster.

"Josh Schmidt." Jonah ignored Simon, whom he perceived as the Schmidts' lapdog. He began, "Sean did not lay a finger on anyone even if he wanted to. I was the one who roughed up David Schmidt, and I have a video as proof."

He turned to Julien and addressed the latter gently, "Julien, show me the video."

After some hesitation, Julien bit his lower lip and played a video for everyone to see. David's agonizing screams echoed in the office as the video depicted Jonah beating him into a pulp.

"Pretty solid evidence, don't you think?" Jonah flashed Josh a devilish and frosty smile.

Gabe and Simon nearly blacked out from the shock. Jonah's evidence had shattered their hope of indicting Sean.

"Jonah, how did you…" Covering her mouth in shock, Alyssa rested in Jasper's arms.

Jasper held her trembling shoulders while looking at Jonah with complicated feelings. He understood and appreciated Jonah's foresight and effort. Jonah had seen this coming and prepared accordingly.

"Mr. Barrett, can we have Sean released now?" Jonah looked at Gabe in amusement.

Gabe stammered, "Uh, well." He stole a glance at Josh.

Jonah pressed on, "I have reported your mistake to Mr. Galini, your superior. He was infuriated when he heard it. I'm afraid this spells the end of your career."

Gabe's face turned pale. Without hesitation, he rushed out of the office to process Sean's release.

"Josh Schmidt, I know you're a snob. I'm not going to waste more time on you. Xavier!"

"Yes, Mr. Jonah?" Xavier hurried over and stood by Jonah. Alyssa was surprised to learn that Jonah had been utilizing Jasper's secretary.

Still, she acknowledged Xavier's flexibility. People would have thought he was working in the capacity of the secretary of the KS Group president.

Jonah shot Xavier a look. Xavier, getting the hint, handed an envelope over to Josh. Opening it, Josh's pupils dilated in shock.

"There's a contract of a Tsulian resort project and a settlement agreement in there," Josh began icily.

He added, "If you agree to settle in private, our family will transfer the project to the Schmidt Group to compensate for your brother's injuries.

"If you do not agree to settle in private… That's fine, too. I'm bored of serving as the president, and I don't mind spending a year or two behind bars. My sister could officially take over my role. Striking two birds with one stone, isn't it?

"Anyway, I don't see a reason for you to decline since you're not exactly in a favorable position now."

Josh chose personal gain over his family in the face of Jonah's enticing offer. A chameleon, he signed the settlement without hesitation and left Gabe's office as though nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Simon fumed when his efforts went down the drain. Not only did he fail to indict Sean, but he also failed to get back at the Taylors. In the end, he had only made a joke out of himself.

"Simon, I was right." Alyssa fixed a piercing gaze on Simon's disgusting face. "Evil will never prevail over justice. You'll never win against us."

"Damn it! It's just sheer luck!" Simon, gritting his teeth, stormed out of the office.

Before he left, Julien suddenly called out to him with a wide grin, "Attorney Lynch!"

Simon halted and snapped, "What?"

"Did you enjoy having your face stuffed with feces that night?"
