Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1597

Josh had created a massive scandal from his forced demolition of the Tsulu village for the holiday resort project.

Deep in worries, he had no time to deal with the public fallout. Victor had to suppress the news reports for him.

Victor flipped in front of Josh and Jameson at the chairman's office. "What's wrong with you, you moron? It's illegal to demolish buildings by force in Cyrris. How dare you do it abroad?

"You do know their police and authorities will come after you, right?" Victor gritted his teeth and poked a finger at Josh's temple, forcing the latter to stumble backward.

Victor snapped, "You goon! Dumb as a doorknob! Do you want the Schmidt Group to meet an early demise?"

Jameson pursed his lips silently as he adjusted his glasses. Meanwhile, Josh blushed in shame, his ego bruised by his dad.

Feeling indignant, he hissed, "Dad, Jonah Taylor tricked us! He transferred a problematic parcel of land to me. He set up a trap for me."

Victor's frown deepened.

"Josh, this is not your first day of doing business. Did you not send a delegation for an on-site inspection before you sign the deal?" Jameson shook his head hopelessly. "How could you trust Jonah Taylor blindly? Do you hold him in such high regard?"

Josh glowered at Jameson in hatred. He badly wanted Victor's approval to outshine Jameson, which prompted him to make such a rookie mistake and fall for Jonah's trap.

It did not make sense for the Taylor family to breezily transfer a parcel of land acquired with effort in exchange for freeing a mere secretary. There was no free lunch in the world indeed.

"Jameson Schmidt, you're fucking vile! You're the only one who doesn't have the company's best interest at heart!"

Hearing that, Victor glared at his eldest and slapped him across the face. He growled, "You idiot! How dare you talk back and twist the facts? How could you shift the blame onto Jimmy?"

Josh pressed a hand on his swollen cheek with astonishment and fury in his eyes. "Dad, what has gotten into you? Can't you tell who's genuinely nice to you and cares about the company?"

"All I care about is the result. I acknowledge Jimmy's help in getting the company out of trouble ever since he came home from Kontina." Victor pointed a finger at Josh.

Victor continued, "But look at you. Not only did you fail to save David, but you also made the wrong judgment that put the company into more trouble. You're a good-for-nothing, and you've failed as a son!"
