Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1279

Jasper's brief response was enough to prove the depth of his love for Alyssa.

By then, Jonah and Alyssa had reconciled. After all, Jonah was as important as Jasper to Alyssa. It pained her to be angry at Jonah. All she desired was to fight against the Taylor family's control.

"But Jonah, why has David Schmidt been released on bail? Why hasn't Winston taken any action?" She was worried.

"That's the reason I called." Taking a deep breath, Jonah gritted his teeth and revealed, "Lyla discussed with Dad and decided to withdraw the lawsuit in consideration of Tatiana and the family's reputation."

"They're dropping the lawsuit?" Alyssa and Jasper were astonished to hear that.

"Yes. Otherwise, David wouldn't have been released." Jonah sounded frustrated. "On top of that, the Schmidts had paid off the media to vindicate their son and portray him as the victim.

"Even if we wanted to take action, we can't do anything now that we've legally withdrawn the lawsuit."

"Is Winston senile? How could he sacrifice Taty's dignity for the family's reputation? We don't need that reputation." Alyssa seethed with anger. "Lyla is soft. This must be Winston's idea. She must have been compelled to follow him."

"Lyse, you're mistaken." Jonah sighed. "Lyla and Taty suggested it. Dad was vehemently against it. He wanted to teach the Schmidts a lesson. But Lyla insisted on dropping the lawsuit, leading to the worst argument with Dad. He had no choice but to grant her wish and swallow the humiliation."

Alyssa, battling a fever, almost blacked out upon hearing this. At that moment, she fumed at Lyla's incompetence.

"Taty is an unmarried young lady of the Taylor family. She might come from an esteemed family, but the scandal will scar her reputation. Being at the center of gossip is surely distressing.
