Chapter 812
Can’t Win Me Back
Chapter 812
David's driver perished at the scene, and the badly injured bodyguard seated in the front passenger
seat
battled for his life in the emergency room
Fortunately, as David was seated in the back, he suffered facial injuries from the glass shards after
the
front collision. Despite bleeding from the head, he survived the accident.
However, a comminuted fracture in his legs left him permanently crippled.
Victor enlisted experts from across the country to treat David, but none could successfully
rehabilitate
David's legs.
One day, the Schmidts sat in their living room-a heavy feeling hung in the air. Daisy sobbed
uncontrollably, but it was unclear if her grief was genuine.
She wailed, âWhy did this happen? David used that road often, and it was a straight road. How did
he get
into an accident?â
Everyone was moody. Only Jameson crossed his legs and sipped on his tea, unconcerned. He
remarked
nonchalantly, âThe frequency of using a road doesnât reduce your chances of getting into an
accident.
They are unrelated, Daisy.â
Daisy dabbed away her tears with her hanky and shot him a moody glare. She accused, âYou seem
quite
happy after David's accident. Why? Has your wish finally come true?â
He placed the teacup on the table and adjusted his glasses. âNo, I'm not happy. I'm just emotionally
stable, unlike you. David isn't dead, but you cry like you're at his funeral.â
"You-" she stammered, enraged by his taunt.
âThat's enough! Can't you guys ever stop squabbling? You've been doing that forever. Daisy, David
is suffering. You haven't thought of a solution. You're only busy causing trouble. Do you want to see
our family in a mess?â David growled and slapped on the arm of his chair.
Daisy quivered at Victor's rage and stopped crying, only glowering at Jameson. 2
After moments of thinking, Jameson slowly suggested, âDad, I have a solution. Why don't we give it
a try? We might save David's legs.â
All eyes were on him. Victor's eyes brightened with hope. He leaned forward eagerly and urged
Jameson, Tell me now!â
âLyse has another identity-sheâs an excellent surgeon. Before this, she successfully performed a
difficult
âYou're Lauren's sister, after all. So, Ill need your help to make the marriage work, especially when
I'm not in the position to act,â Zoe said with a sly smile.
She added, âMy family runs a business empire, and we're influential. If we were an ordinary family,
knowing Landon, he wouldn't give up on Lauren at all. The only way to crush his hope is to marry
off Lauren to another influential family like the Hodgsons.â
What a devious plan!
Betty snapped and sweated after tugging on her facial injury, âI remember how you treated me after
I helped you out. You nearly sent me to prison! Why would I help you now?â
Zoe drawled, âI'm your future sister-in-law. It's important to get on my good side. Besides, you must
be upset at Lauren for snatching Landon from you. No one else except for me can take revenge for
you."
Betty was stunned by Zoe's plan. Tears of anger welled up as she clenched her fists, recalling how
badly
Angelina had beaten her up.
She seethed silently, âLandon Harper, I love you deeply, but you treat me like an animal. I can only
give
you a taste of your own medicine by taking away your most precious possession.â
With that in mind, she told Zoe, âTell me what you plan to do.â
Jasper and Zoe's scandal plunged the Becketts and the Harpers into turmoil.
The Schmidts also faced their own troubles, with David Schmidt having recently been in a car
accident of
his way home from a gathering with friends on a rainy night.
