Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1757

Jameson's expression was visibly cold, while his eyes were filled with simmering rage.

Josh uncovered a part of the Schmidt family's scandal from back then.

Despite the disgrace it brought upon the entire Schmidt family, Josh was determined to embarrass both Jameson and Lily, stoking Victor's disdain toward them. He wanted Lily to forever remain a despised whore.

The crowd gasped, intrigued by the unfolding drama. After all, who wouldn't be interested to hear gossip about a wealthy family?

"What does Mr. Josh mean by that?"

"Why does it sound like Mrs. Schmidt did something to hurt Mr. Victor?"

"I remember now!"

Someone recalled the scandal and said, "There was gossip back then in the magazines, claiming Mrs. Schmidt was keeping a lover on the side. She was caught in the act by Mr. Victor. That's why she was exiled overseas."

"Caught in the act?" Everyone was shocked.

"At that time, we didn't have the internet. It was all newspapers and magazines. Within 24 hours of this scandal being exposed, all the publications with the story disappeared from the market. The magazine that first broke the news even went bankrupt.

"Come to think of it now, it might be Mr. Victor's doing because he felt humiliated."

"Doesn't that only imply that Mrs. Schmidt really did cheat on him?"

Alyssa stared at Lily's pale, terrified face, and her gaze turned complex.

Since Winston was close to Victor, Alyssa often visited the Schmidt family.

She always remembered Lily as gentle and humble. Given Lily's less privileged background and the fact that the Schmidt family already had three children when she married Victor, the challenges of being a stepmother were all too apparent.

However, Lily was kind to all the children and especially devoted to Victor. Even Alyssa, at a young age, could tell how much she loved Victor. How could she have had an affair when life seemed good?

Despite being an outsider, Alyssa was willing to trust Lily. However, when the incident occurred, Victor didn't listen to Lily's explanation at all. He heartlessly drove her and Jameson out of the Schmidt family.

It was clear that the Schmidt family lacked empathy.

"Jimmy, I want to go home... I don't want to stay here... Can we go home?" Lily clung to Jameson and pleaded like a child.

"Mom, just a little longer. We'll leave after the family photo," Jameson comforted her gently with hands on her shoulders.

"A family photo? Jimmy, are you kidding?" Josh sneered as he stared disdainfully at Lily. "Your mom is so sick, and yet you bring her here to embarrass herself publicly. Aren't you just trying to gain sympathy?

"No matter what you do, it's a fact that she betrayed Dad and committed those shameful acts. You can't just erase that. Dad initially spared her some dignity by keeping things under wraps. Why did you bring her here today? Is it to shame Dad?"

The crowd was stunned.

"Josh, enough!" Victor's face turned livid. He coldly glared at Jameson. "Jimmy, take her out of here now!"

"No way." Jameson was expressionless.

Victor's anger boiled over. "Jameson!" he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Josh, do you dare swear?" Jameson's intense gaze locked onto Josh's smug face. "Do you dare swear that you had nothing to do with my mom's alleged affair and Dad catching her in the act at the hotel?"
