Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1316

That night, the news about David's arrest shook the entire country. As expected, Daisy made use of this more impactful news to push her ranking down from the trending searches.

However, the most pitiful news was still none other than the ones about the Schmidts.

Following the revelation of the incident involving the Schmidt siblings, the Schmidt Group found itself backed into a corner. Aside from David's arrest, he had even exposed himself indecently for the whole country to see! Even his grandfather, Thomas Schmidt, would likely be turning in his grave!

After watching the live news, Victor's heart couldn't endure it. His face lost color, and he staggered backward.

"Dad!" Josh rushed forward to catch Victor. However, Jameson managed to get there ahead of him as he was nearer to Victor.

"Hurry up and take a seat, Dad. Deep breaths." Jameson helped Victor to the sofa to sit. He turned around and cast an anxious gaze at Josh.

"What are you still standing there for, Josh? Get the doctor to come and look at Dad, quick!"

Josh ran red with anger. He very much wished that he could shut him up. "Jimmy, you…"

"Josh, I know that you've always been unhappy with me. All these years, I have never offended you. I have been avoiding coming against you head-to-head.

"But, just look at what happened to the family. Dad isn't feeling well, either. I'm just concerned about Dad here. I'm not here to argue with you!" Jameson spoke with a worried tone.

Jameson's gloomy gaze toward Josh was enough to exert pressure on him.

Josh's face flushed red. He was about to defend himself when Victor suddenly screamed, "Josh! You're so narrow-minded and useless! I want you to get out! Now!"

Tension filled the air, creating a frigid atmosphere. Josh gnashed his teeth, and his temples thrummed. His anger had dissipated, leaving his face pale and drained.

He could see that Victor was siding with Jameson. If he continued to go head-on with him, it would not benefit him in any way.

Thus, he could only swallow his frustration and hatred. He left with his teeth tightly clenched.

"Dad… You shouldn't be so mean to Josh."

With tears in his eyes, Victor held Jameson's hand firmly and promised, "Don't worry. I won't mistreat you from now on!"

…

The warm expression on Jameson's face vanished on the way home, replaced by a smirk.

"There's something I don't understand, Mr. Schmidt," Carl couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Considering your financial power in Kontina, it would be easy for you to seize this opportunity and acquire Schmidt Group's shares in large quantities.

"Why did you choose to stabilize Schmidt Group's situation instead? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you if there was more chaos?"

"I don't have any of the Schmidt Group's shares at hand. No matter how much I purchase them in bulk, I will never own more than Victor or Josh. If I acted too aggressively at this stage, I'd be controlled by others instead."

Carl understood and nodded. "That's true. Now that you've earned the old man's trust and sowed discord wedge between Victor and Josh, you must proceed cautiously."
