Can't Win Me Back

Chatper 1294

As Timothy saw the prosecution team approaching him, he knew that he was doomed. His legs gave

way, and he buckled in front of everyone.

All social media and news platforms simultaneously replaced their headlines with a breaking news

update—Timothy had been arrested.

Quick-witted reporters had already rushed to Victor.

"Mr. Victor, do you have anything to say about the arrest of your son-in-law?"

"Are you aware of Mr. Clemons' actions?"

"Have you benefited during Mr. Clemons' years in office? Did he use his power to channel benefits to

the Schmidt Group?"

The furious Victor gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.

He thought Josh would handle things well, but the prosecutors from the Investigative Bureau still

barged in. And they were led by none other than Winston's second son, Silas!

Both being business tycoons, it was a great disgrace for Victor to have his son-in-law arrested by

Winston's son. What an insult to his dignity!

If he had known, he wouldn't have stayed here. He would have slipped away amid the chaos. Staying

here was a mistake.

"Dad! Let's get out of here!" Josh hurriedly arrived, helping his father and guiding him toward the exit.

Yet reporters relentlessly followed. Under Josh's protection, Victor struggled to move forward. In the

midst of the crowded chaos, Victor's shoe was accidentally stepped off.

"Oh, no! My shoe!" Victor awkwardly lifted his left foot.

"Dad! Why worry about a shoe at a time like this? Hurry, we need to go!" Josh was sweating from the

urgency, only concerned with dragging Victor out.

So, with one foot bare, Victor embarrassingly escaped the scene.

"Look! Why is there a shoe on the ground?"

"Is it Victor's? Is he so panicked that he lost his shoe? Hahaha!"

Reporters took pictures of the shoe and laughed loudly.

...

When Timothy was dragged out of the venue by the prosecutors, his legs were dragging on the ground.

He was so terrified to the point of being unable to take a single step.

Meanwhile, Alyssa and Jasper observed everything that was happening from across the street.

Xavier had already brought over glasses of prepared champagne, joy evident on his face.

"Congratulations, Mr. Beckett, Madam. You two make a powerful alliance. You're unstoppable!"novelbin

Alyssa and Jasper raised their glasses, smiling in satisfaction. As they shared a deep gaze, they

clinked their glasses, producing a pleasant sound.

"Thank you for lending a helping hand, Mr. Beckett. It's been a pleasure working with you." Alyssa's

eyes held a tender gaze. Her naturally tinted lips stunned his heart and captivated his soul.

"I didn't do much. It's mainly thanks to you, dar—"

The word "darling" almost slipped out of Jasper's mouth. His heart skipped a bit, and he quickly

corrected himself.

"Thanks to you, Lyse. You've thought through and strategized everything. I just cooperated with you

and did what I could."

God knew how much Jasper envied seeing Landon openly embrace Lauren, sweetly calling her

darling.

How he wished he could openly talk about his lovely wife in front of others.

But he had nothing to blame but himself for missing too many opportunities for happiness. Their

reunion was already a miracle.

He didn't dare to ask for more. He would gladly be by her side, even if he remained an unnamed

guardian.

Seeing her valiant warrior's eyes flickering with panic over a small mistake in his words, Alyssa couldn't

help but feel a pang in her heart.

She leaned in and wrapped her arms around Jasper's neck. Lifting her face, she planted a kiss on his

chin.

Xavier immediately opened the car door and got out. As a qualified secretary, he should be deaf and

blind.

Jasper's breathing deepened gradually. His hand, with tense veins, caressed her waist. "Lyse, stop

tormenting me."
