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.
