Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Lyse, Jasper, I have new updates on the Schmidt Group," Jonah announced.
Upon hearing that, Lyla glanced at Alyssa and sensibly said, "Taty and I will leave
the kitchen now."
"It's fine, Lyla. We're family. There's nothing to be kept secret.” Alyssa's
expression grew serious. "Jonah, go ahead."
Sean's ears perked up as well. Alyssa had ordered him to focus on recovery and
his relationship with Tatiana ever since he got severely injured by Jeffrey and
nearly lost his left arm from being beaten up by the Schmidts' men. She had
refused to involve him in other affairs since.
However, after years of working with Jonah in the business field and later serving
Alyssa, Sean remained passionate and loyal. He had no interest in fancy titles or
handsome compensation, only wishing to be of use to Alyssa and Jonah.
Sean had not worked on anything important after Sophia's case came to a close,
which made him feel a little empty inside.
"Lyse, remember that Tsulu holiday resort project that Josh took away from me?
After the project commenced, issues immediately surfaced,” Jonah said with an
icy look in his eyes.
"I know about that. There is a village housing ten or so families on the sole route
to the holiday resort, no? Its existence will be a headache for land-use planning
unless the Schmidt Group is able to bulldoze the village and make the villagers
move away." Alyssa calmly worked on the ravioli with a smirk on her lips.
She added, "But I guess things aren't that straightforward, right? The Tsulian
authorities would have gotten rid of the villagers instead of sneakily hiding the
fact otherwise. If they displaced the villagers, the land's value could shoot up by
another one billion dollars."
Sean nodded in agreement while Tatiana directed an admiring look at Alyssa. It
was no wonder Sean was once in love with Alyssa so much that he'd risk his life
for her. Tatiana thought that she would have done the same for Alyssa if she
were a man.
In contrast, she thought of herself as timid and unremarkable, believing it was her
honor to have received Sean's affection.
"Lyse was right.” Jasper fixed a tender gaze on Alyssa and carefully placed
another oddly shaped ravioli on the chopping board. "I ran an investigation and
found out that the village has been around for two centuries.
"It's considered a historical and cultural heritage. Bulldozing it to build a holiday
resort will lead to public outrage. Of course, the government dare not do it so
openly."
Jonah gave her a light nod. "That's why someone has gotten ahead of
themselves and privately kickstarted the process.”
The news left Alyssa and Jasper shocked. "Did Josh Schmidt go ahead with the
demolition? When was that?" "It happened last night. He did it at midnight. Some
of the villagers were in their sleep when the houses collapsed on them, which led
to multiple injuries.” Jonah's expression hardened. "This incident happened
abroad, and the Schmidt Group immediately silenced the media.
"Even if the Cyrrisian media received the news, they might keep a lid on it due to
the Schmidts' influence in the country.”
Jasper questioned sternly, "Jonah, are there any deaths?"
Jonah replied, "None so far."

She continued, "Is there really no media that would report on that? Don't forget
that the KS Group owns the '3 o'Clock News." They shall wait for what happens
at 3:00 pm tomorrow!"
Hearing that, Lyla shook her head and broke her silence. "The Schmidt kids are
pretty unruly, aren't they? I thought they would behave better after lying low for a
while."
Sean was equally furious. "Old habits die hard."
Alyssa raised a brow in amusement. "The Schmidt kids are fighting each other,
and the head of the family is himself corrupted. Nothing good comes out of the
Schmidt family."
