Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1386

"P-Police? Those lowly pawns are back again?"

The days David spent in the detention center were hell for him. He never wanted to go back to those days of eating poor food and enduring the stench. He was scared out of his wits. "Dad! Josh! You have to stop them!"

Victor's face darkened as he paced back and forth in anxiety.

"David, don't panic."

Josh walked over and patted his trembling shoulder. "I've got people keeping a close eye on those two girls. So far, there's been no contact with the police, indicating they don't plan to testify. As long as they stay silent, we might be able to minimize the impact on your case.

"Tatiana's livestream yesterday gained so much attention, so the police have to at least put on a show and investigate you. Or else it'd look like they're not doing their job. Let's go see what they want first."

…

The Schmidts descended the stairs. The moment they saw the newcomer, they were stunned.

In the living room stood Cyrus and two of his subordinates. His presence was imposing, exuding an air of authority and intimidation.

Victor's face turned even uglier, and he even felt a twinge of jealousy.

Winston's children were not only incredibly good-looking but also highly capable. Even the youngest son of his second wife, Cyrus, a mere police officer, had such an outstanding presence.

Generally speaking, children would always look adorable in their parents' eyes, but when David recalled the dirty deeds Daisy and David did, he felt enraged.

In front of Cyrus, he felt utterly ashamed that he wanted to find a place to hide.

But in comparison, Jameson was a promising son. His look, bearing, and abilities were all outstanding—enough to rival the Taylors.

Jameson aimed to take possession of the Schmidt Group—the thing they cared about most—from their hands.

Jameson stood behind them. His eyes were dark and cold as he stared at Cyrus with a sinister smirk.

Although he hated everyone in the Taylor family except Alyssa, he couldn't wait to see what surprises Cyrus would bring to David.

"Mr. Cyrus, David's case has been closed. Why are you here today? Is our coffee better than your station's? Doesn't Uncle Winston give you pocket money to buy coffee?" Josh mocked while squinting.

Uncle Winston?

The two police officers stared at Cyrus in astonishment.

It couldn't be Winston Taylor, could it?
