Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 1758

Josh finally realized that Jameson was there today to settle old scores with him.

All eyes, including Victor's, were fixed on Josh's stiff face.

"Jameson, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Josh had seen his fair share of deceitful people and wasn't fooled by Jameson's words. He gritted his teeth and coldly retorted, "What does your mom's infidelity have anything to do with me?" "I'm asking you just one thing. Do you dare swear that my mom's alleged affair has nothing to do with you?"

"Hah! Why should I swear to you? Who do you think you are?" Josh was unyielding.

Jameson smirked with pale lips, his eyes seemingly harboring a deadly storm. "Josh, haven't you always wanted to reclaim the position of president from me? Let's make a bet.

"If you dare swear that my mom's alleged affair has nothing to do with you, I'll hand over the position to you."

The crowd was stunned.

Alyssa and Jasper stared at Jameson in shock.

They knew that for Jameson, the position of Schmidt Group's president was his everything. After all, he only obtained it after a series of careful plots and schemes.

But now, he was willing to make this painful sacrifice to confront Josh. Clearly, he had prepared for a counterattack.

"That position was rightfully mine from the start!" Josh hated Jameson's arrogance. He gritted his teeth in resentment. "You stole it from me using underhanded tactics! Don't act so righteous!" "Fine, I'll give it back to you. Not only that, I'll also leave Schmidt Group and return to Kontina."

Jameson's eyes were bloodshot. "Do you dare accept the bet?"

It was a desperate gamble.

Alyssa pressed her red lips together as she watched Jameson with a complex expression.

It was undeniable that Jameson showed his last bit of conscience to stand up for his mother. He was willing to give up everything he had worked so hard to seek justice for her.

It showed that Lily's past grievances weighed heavily on him.

Josh's scheming, Victor's suspicion, and their ruthless abandonment had turned Jameson, once a fine young man, into the person he was today.

In a way, Josh had sown the seeds of everything that had happened.

If Lily hadn't been framed back then and had been able to stay with the Schmidt family to raise Jameson, perhaps he wouldn't have turned out this way. But there were no ifs in this world. There was no fixing a rotten heart.

The room fell silent as tension reached its breaking point.

Lily trembled in Jameson's arms, unaware of the impending storm.

Meanwhile, Josh ground his teeth audibly, his mind racing. After all, the stakes were high. If this was a game of poker, Jameson had gone all in.

The incident occurred so long ago that all evidence had long since disappeared. At this thought, Josh smirked sinisterly. "Jimmy, everyone is watching. Don't play dumb later."

"But if my mom's alleged affair is indeed linked to you, Josh, I want you to publicly apologize to her. Hold a press conference to reveal all the conspiracies and schemes you plotted against her and restore her honor."

Jameson's words were cold and deliberate. "The eldest son of the Schmidt family should have the guts to agree to that, right?"

"I can agree, but things won't go your way because I've never done such things." Josh's smile was malicious.

Victor's anger surged, and his face turned red before losing its color.

Rather than the truth behind Lily's alleged infidelity, what really bothered him was Jameson's decision to publicly expose this scandal, airing the family's dirty laundry for all to see.

To make matters worse, Josh had refused to cover it up, choosing to openly confront the situation, turning it into an uncontrollable spectacle.

Had his brain turned into mush, or had he lost his senses?

A mischievous glint appeared in Jameson's eyes as he hoarsely commanded, "Bring him in!"

The next second, the banquet hall doors creaked open.

Carl led the way, with two black-clad men following closely behind. They dragged a disheveled, weary-looking middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes before the crowd. The man shivered like he was feeling cold and constantly sniffled.

"He's an addict." Landon, well-versed in such matters, noticed immediately.

Suddenly, Lily's eyes widened in horror, her mouth gaping as she screamed hysterically.

Everyone was shocked.

Jameson immediately held Lily closer, shielding her face. While patting her trembling back, he glanced at Josh.

"Josh, remember him?"

Josh frowned, staring in puzzlement at the man kneeling before him. He didn't recognize him at all.

"Introduce yourself." Jameson's voice was low.

Shivering, the man sniffled, then stammered, "I-I'm Seth Crawford. I used to... work as... Mr. Victor's personal bodyguard."

When Josh heard that name, his eyes widened, and his mind went blank.

This man was the same person he had bribed to play the role of Lily's "lover".

Two years ago, he didn't look like this. Now, he was barely recognizable, having fallen on hard times. That was why Josh hadn't recognized him at first glance.

"My personal bodyguard? Why have I never seen you before?" Victor was perplexed. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I worked for you... over 15 years ago."

Seth looked nervously at Jameson. His expression grew increasingly angry and remorseful as he shifted his gaze to Josh's pale face.

Josh quickly turned away, avoiding his resentful gaze.

"Josh, you really have a terrible memory, even forgetting the pawn you used in your scheme." Jameson let out a mocking chuckle. "To be so ungrateful after everything he did for you... You're truly heartless."
