Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1350

Despite putting on a brave face, Josh had been gripped by fear. His legs went weak. Simon kept his silence under Jonah's intimidating gaze.

Alyssa found herself moved by Jonah's protectiveness. Knowing Jonah, he was aloof and rarely displayed his emotions. Apart from family and Sean, he showed no care for almost anyone else.

Hence, she was surprised by his unusual action toward Julien. At the same time, she noticed Julien gazing at Jonah tenderly, prompting her to muse over their seemingly intimate connection. Why did they look like a couple in her eyes?

Before she could delve further into her thoughts, Simon interjected, "Mr. Jonah, Sean will face assault charges even if we start anew. According to the law, confirmed assault, supported by a medical expert, carries a three-year sentence. Sean can't escape his fate."

Simon argued vehemently, displaying a hostility that made it hard to believe he was Sean's older brother. The materialistic and selfish world had transformed him into a heartless monster.

"Josh Schmidt." Jonah ignored Simon, whom he perceived as the Schmidts' lapdog. He began, "Sean did not lay a finger on anyone even if he wanted to. I was the one who roughed up David Schmidt, and I have a video as proof."

He turned to Julien and addressed the latter gently, "Julien, show me the video."

After some hesitation, Julien bit his lower lip and played a video for everyone to see. David's agonizing screams echoed in the office as the video depicted Jonah beating him into a pulp.

"Pretty solid evidence, don't you think?" Jonah flashed Josh a devilish and frosty smile.

Gabe and Simon nearly blacked out from the shock. Jonah's evidence had shattered their hope of indicting Sean.

"Jonah, how did you…" Covering her mouth in shock, Alyssa rested in Jasper's arms.

Jasper held her trembling shoulders while looking at Jonah with complicated feelings. He understood and appreciated Jonah's foresight and effort. Jonah had seen this coming and prepared accordingly.

"Mr. Barrett, can we have Sean released now?" Jonah looked at Gabe in amusement.

Gabe stammered, "Uh, well…" He stole a glance at Josh.

Jonah pressed on, "I have reported your mistake to Mr. Galini, your superior. He was infuriated when he heard it. I'm afraid this spells the end of your career."

Gabe's face turned pale. Without hesitation, he rushed out of the office to process Sean's release.
