Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1749

Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was already the weekend.

Tonight at Schmidt Manor, the massive fountain in the central courtyard was turned on again, and the hall was adorned with flowers. The whole place looked grand and luxurious, like an opulent palace.

Guests gathered in the main hall. Many well-dressed individuals clinked glasses together, creating a lively atmosphere.

Since Daisy's heavy sentence and David's tragic death in prison, the entire Schmidt family had been plunged into an unprecedented crisis. This was exacerbated by a series of business mistakes that led to a sharp drop in Schmidt Group's stock prices.

Since then, a heavy atmosphere had been lingering. It had been a long time since they had such a glamorous occasion.

Victor, accompanied by Josh and Clarissa, mingled among the guests, enjoying the praise and flattery that hadn't been heard in a long time. Victor was particularly pleased.

"Look! The dress Madam Clarissa is wearing is designed by Ms. Emerson, right?"

"It certainly is! Ms. Emerson's design style is very distinct. It's really beautiful."

"It's true that clothes make the man. That woman used to be nothing but a background figure next to Josh, but she's actually shining tonight."

Hearing the flattering praises from all directions, Josh held his head high. With his wife being praised, his face lit up with pride, and he felt even more gratified inside.

"Claire, you're really making me proud tonight."

As Josh caressed Clarissa's delicate hand, he leaned close to her ear and chuckled. "You'll get your reward when we get back."

Clarissa forced back her disgust and put on a coquettish smile.

"Where's Jimmy?"

Frowning, Victor looked around. "Why is he missing at such an important moment?"

"I heard from Jameson's secretary that he went to greet a distinguished guest," Clarissa replied beside him.

"Hah, is that 'distinguished guest' Alyssa?" Josh sneered. His face was full of disdain.
