Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1284

One day, Simon was relishing the company of escorts and good wine at a premium lounge in a luxurious nightclub. The air was filled with smoke and the sounds from partying.

Sitting across from him was the heir of the Schmidt Group, Josh Schmidt. The fact that Simon was invited to the party that night meant he had received the seal of approval from Josh. The Schmidts were considered one of his connections now.

Now acquainted with the Becketts and the Schmidts, Simon had no reason to fear the Taylors anymore.

"Mr. Schmidt, it was just a small favor. You're too nice," Simon remarked energetically with an escort in his arm.

"It's just a few drinks. Don't mention it." Josh swirled the wine and lifted a brow in amusement. "This is nothing compared to your brilliant suggestion of suing your brother for aggravated assault.

"For one, this is a revenge for David. Someone needs to pay for the suffering he had been put through. Besides, this is a good chance to break up Sean and Ms. Tatiana. Knowing how much your mom loves his son, she'd rather die than allow Sean to marry the lowly daughter of Winston's third wife. You've killed two birds with one stone."

Since the Schmidts could not lay a finger on Jasper and Alyssa yet, they'd make inroads by starting with the people around the couple.

There was no way Josh would allow Sean to beat David by marrying Tatiana.

"Haha! It's all because you paid me well." Under the influence of alcohol and wealth, Simon shed his gentlemanly façade. His eyes twinkled with greed. "You made a great offer to me, knowing you're asking me to sue my brother. I'll have to work well with you."

"You're suing your brother. Don't you feel sorry for him, having grown up together?" Josh inquired with a smile.

"He's not my brother." Simon seethed with malice. "He's just Alyssa Taylor's lapdog."

He argued, "Sure, there's a court hearing soon, but that's where my strength lies. Even if I can't help her walk away free, I can appeal for a lighter sentence." Downing a huge glass of alcohol, he declared, "Just wait and see."

"Sure. I'll wait for your good news, Attorney Lynch." With a smirk, Josh said, "Prove your ability through the Beckett's court case, and we'll have ample opportunities to work together."

Simon headed toward the parking garage, drunk and furious. His cheerful mood at the start of the night had turned into deep frustration.

Simon belatedly realized that Josh had manipulated him. Josh turned against him and even made empty promises. Simon thought, "None of the Schmidts is good."
