Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1364

David stared hostilely at Jameson's innocent and friendly expression.

Raw anger shot through him. Just as he was about to go off, Josh shot an icy glare at him, hinting at him to hold back. David's mind immediately cleared up.

When they were in the car just now, Josh had remarked that Alyssa Taylor might not be the mastermind behind David's arrest.

Memories of their conversation resurfaced. Back in the car, Josh had mused, "She would have dealt with you right after you assaulted Tatiana if she wanted to. She wouldn't have waited until now to make a move. Besides, no one else except me knows the details of your relationships with those girls."

"Who's that motherfucker that wanted me dead? I'll tear them into pieces!"

"It's Daisy."

"R-Right! That filthy bitch! She must have snitched on me for a reduced sentence! I'll send someone to teach her a lesson!"

"Even if she knew about your relationships and snitched on you, there wasn't much she could do as a prisoner. The police wouldn't have gotten their hands on the evidence. So, someone outside the prison must have worked with her to retaliate against you."

"Who? Who's that?" David raged on, repeating the same question like an idiot.

"It can't be anyone else but Jameson. I looked into the visitor log, and he was the only one who visited Daisy at prison lately. Since he's in Dad's favor, we'll gain nothing from going against him. Let's regain Dad's trust and lay low until we have a chance to get rid of Jameson."

"This is great! God has blessed the Schmidt family! My three sons are by my side now!" Holding David in one arm and Jameson in another, Victor was immersed in the joy of reunion. Tears filled his eyes. "We need to unite as a family and work hard for the Schmidt Group. Let's not get into trouble anymore.

"Josh, you've done a lot this time, but Jimmy has been a great help too. He helped us stabilize the stock price and advance the projects in Kontina. So, I'm thinking..."

"Dad, I know you had your share of good news today, but I have one more to add," Josh cut him off arrogantly.

Jameson's demeanor immediately froze. He waited with bated breath.

"Oh, do you have more good news for me, Josh? Tell me about it!" Victor didn't mind being interrupted as he was in a great mood.

"Bring it in," Josh ordered.

His secretary immediately walked in with a document and handed it to Victor. Victor accepted the document with much confusion, but he soon realized what it was and beamed widely. "Hahaha! This is awesome, Josh! Isn't this a new project you closed? What a huge surprise!"

The smile froze on Jameson's face. Under his crystal-adorned sleeve, his fist clenched.

"I secretly planned to close this project for a while, but it was in limbo for a while, so I didn't bring it up. I didn't want to get you excited over nothing." Josh flashed an honest smile and explained, "I am only announcing it to you now after signing the agreement. You know, I'm a little slow, unlike Jimmy-he's pretty slick and speaks his mind to get what he wants."

"Isn't that right? Jimmy was the most rebellious when we were kids. After 15 years, he came home to Dad and turned out as the most obedient among us all," David chimed in to mock Jameson with a look of disdain. "Should have come home earlier if you truly cared about Dad, Jimmy. You moving home doesn't feel as sincere after all these years away."

Then, he added, "That was a joke! I can be pretty blunt. Don't take my words to heart!"

Jameson squinted hatefully at David and retorted, "I guess it's hard for your brain to keep up with your mouth after the detention and all the drugs you took."

David gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to lunge at Jameson and shred him to pieces.

"Gosh, look at you guys. You've never stopped quarreling since childhood. You should get along well as a family. Can't you behave like Winston's kids and give me some peace?" Victor said.

He was excited about David's release and the new project Josh secured. Hence, he didn't take the siblings' squabble seriously.

Josh advised, "Jimmy, you need to work hard for the company now that you're the executive director. Come to us for help if you run into any issues with the projects. We are always open to a discussion for the sake of the company."
