Chapter 1218
Can’t Win Me Back
Alyssa was speechless at Landonâs suggestion. Similarly, Jasper replied, "Mr. Harper, you're a grown
man. Please behave like one."
After Jasper hung up, David nearly peed himself out of fear.
Alyssa fixed a threatening glare on him. "Now that we have a witness and solid evidence, you should
explain yourself to the police and my dad."
At this moment, David felt as if he was struck by lightning. He neared a breakdown, not because he
feared the policeâno one from the distinguished families had any regard for the policeâbut
because he was afraid of Winston Taylor.
The Schmidts might be family friends with the Taylors, but David had long heard from Victor about
Winston's ruthlessness and his fierce loyalty to his family. Given that David's evil deed had been
exposed, complete with evidence, he feared for his life when Winston learned about it.
Not only that, the incident would mark the end of the relationship between the Schmidts and the
Taylors, and for that, David might fall out of favor with Victor for good.
David scrambled toward Alyssa and pleaded at her in tears, "M-Ms. Alyssa, it's my fault! I did
something terrible because I wanted to win against Jimmy. It's all my fault. Please spare me for our
fathersâ sakeâthey're sworn brothers, aren't they?"
She merely snickered, remaining unfazed by his crocodile tears. "Repent for your sins in prison.
Before that, I believe my dad and my brothers would teach you a lesson.â
To protect himself, David blurted out the humiliating truth, "B-But I did not sexually assault Tatiana!
I-1 have erectile dysfunction!â
Everyone was left in shock. Tatiana's eyes wavered, and Sean quickly held her cold hand.
"I guess it happened because I made too many medical injections to save my leg. I couldn't get
hard, even in front of a beauty like Tatiana. Since the plan didn't work, I took off her clothes to make
it look like we slept together.â
"You did that to force Mr. Taylor to marry Taty to you." Jasper's eyes darkened. "David Schmidt, do
you really think that's going to make you look better? Even if you did not force yourself on her, you
had the intention to do so!"
Since Alyssa was the surgeon for David, she believed he was likely speaking the truth. She burst out
laughing. "Haha! That's karma in action. An animal like you deserves to be impotent!
"Even if you did not assault her, you've caused her trauma. You might not have raped her, but you
saw her naked. I'll consider sparing you if you gouge your eyes out to make up for that."
David cowered and flinched. He was already a cripple. There was no way he would go blind to atone
for his sin.
Jonah and Jasper's phones rang at the same time. Their fathers had called them, and they picked up
promptly. Winston and Javier told their sons to get back to the hall as soon as possible for the most
important event. The Jesseltons were about to announce their business partner.
"Lyse, you should go with Jasper,â Jonah suggested as he glared at the two useless men on the
floor. "Julien and I will take care of these losers. Leave Taty and Sean in our good hands.â
"Jonah, I'll be back soon!" Alyssa prepared to leave, but Tatiana grabbed her arm with teary eyes.
Tatiana begged, "Lyse, could you please keep this a secret from Dad?"
"Taty?"
Tatiana trembled as she sobbed. "Don't tell him. He's getting old, and he's not in the best of health.
I'm worried thatâ"
"Don't worry. I know how to deal with it." Alyssa gave her a reassuring squeeze in the hand and held
back tears. "I'll do anything it takes to free you from the Schmidts."
