Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1361

"I believe the public is aware of Ms. Alyssa's upright character. She wouldn't have performed the surgery on David if he were an indecent chap because that would be endorsing evil. Am I right?"

Josh had dropped a highly suggestive and shocking statement. David was known as a good-for-nothing with questionable ethics. Because of that, Josh did not bother to clear David's name, seeking instead to vindicate him. He couldn't care less for David's reputation.

However, Alyssa was a different case altogether. Josh opted to announce Alyssa's surgery on David at this critical time to establish her alliance with the Schmidts.

He wanted the world to believe that Alyssa would ultimately side with the Schmidt family despite her virtuous character.

"I hereby offer a sincere apology on behalf of David and the Schmidt Group for taking up everyone's time," Josh concluded. "We will exercise greater caution in the future and humbly heed the public's feedback and criticism."

With that, the news stream ended. Alyssa's face mirrored the coldness of a winter's night.

Similarly enraged, Xavier cussed in a quivering voice, "Damn it! That bastard Josh Schmidt is dragging Madam Alyssa down with them!"

Surprisingly, Alyssa did not seem fazed even though Josh had tarnished her reputation. While she was angry at Josh's speech, she had since calmed down.

Only Jasper seemed agitated by the move Josh had pulled. She sensed him tensing up, and his skin was cold to the touch. The veins on his hand bulged threateningly.

"I share the same thought, but we must not lose our composure because of his words." She worriedly pressed her fingers against his throbbing temples and massaged them. "You have a serious headache problem. You know it'll worsen with emotional turmoil. Please care for your health, even if it's for my sake."

Despite her comforting words, he failed to keep his calm after Alyssa fell victim to Josh. His deep love for Alyssa led him to lose his cool and rationality.

"Madam Alyssa, the netizens are launching online attacks against you. I suspect that 80 percent of them are bots hired by Josh." Xavier browsed through a barrage of insults, nearly cracking his phone's screen out of anger.

Jasper immediately instructed, "Get the PR department to monitor the comments!"
