Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1289

The atmosphere in the grand hall of the city hall was tense and serious. The audience was comprised of important officials and business representatives from Solana City and all across the nation.

At that moment, Orlander Hodgson was delivering a keynote speech onstage. Members of Congress and business representatives sat in the front rows, while family members like Daisy were arranged to be seated in the back.

As the only daughter of the Schmidt family, Daisy was especially important in high society. Still, today's event was mostly their husbands' arena. As a spouse, she had no say in the event.

An attention-seeker, she was displeased at the treatment at the event, especially knowing that she was the reason behind Timothy's career success.

Without the support of the Schmidt Group, the guidance of Victor Schmidt, and her meticulously crafted public persona, Timothy would never have achieved success smoothly.

The more she thought over it, the happier she felt. It took her mind off the horrible feeling upon learning of Timothy's multiple affairs.

One day, she vowed to be seated in the front row as the mayor's wife. With that in mind, she straightened up in her seat with a haughty demeanor.

The guests around her exchanged gossip. "Look at that smug expression on her face! All I could see was her nostrils flaring."

"Isn't that right? The election hasn't kicked off yet, but she seems confident in her husband's victory. What gives her that confidence?"

"Daisy Schmidt still thinks she's important because she's a Schmidt, but she has lost her social standing after marrying into the Clemons family. Rumors had it that she begged her family for money to finance her husband's electoral campaign. Because of that, the Schmidts are annoyed at her, but she still walks around feeling good about herself."

"I don't have confidence in Clemons. He looks like a corrupted man. If he and his wife are in power, the citizens will be in trouble."

Meanwhile, the audience started whispering to each other. "What are those? They don't look like presentation slides to me."

"Hmm, those look like invoices—records of bribery!"

"Timothy Clemons' name is written on those invoices. He's taken those bribes, I assume."

Soon, the screen displayed a series of candid photos on autoplay. The photos showed Timothy entering private clubs, receiving expensive jewelry, and even entering the lounge of the private club with two wavy-haired women in his arms.

The photos caused a stir in the audience and dropped a bomb on the media representatives.
