Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1408

"I had thought Josh or Victor would be the mastermind, but it was the doing of David's man," Cyrus explained with doubt. "I was worried that David would pull some tricks, so I sent someone to keep an eye on his attorney. After all, he hasn't met with anyone except for his attorney.

"But we found nothing suspicious about his attorney. We dug into his call log—he did not contact the culprit."

"That's odd. Did one of David's men act without permission out of his loyalty to David? Was he worried that David's scandal would be publicized? Does David even have a lackey who's that sharp-witted?" Frowning, Alyssa fell into deep thought.

Then, she suddenly chuckled. "Maybe Josh had a card up his sleeve and pulled an act of killing with a borrowed knife."

"Is he using David?" Jasper wondered in a low, icy voice.

"As impatient as Josh, he must have wanted to silence Maggie after his men noticed we had reached out to her." Alyssa might be hot-tempered, but she always remained cool-headed in times of urgency.

She analyzed carefully, "But the risk of silencing Maggie was high because he had to succeed at one go under our noses. It was certainly a dangerous feat.

"That's why he thought of getting David's man to pull it off. Even if we got hold of the weapon, we'd suspect David instead of him, and he'd get out of this."

While she was speaking, Jasper fixed an admiring gaze on her. She glowed radiantly like an angel who had descended onto earth. He swooned after her, unable to think straight.

"Hah! The Schmidts are indeed a loving family, aren't they?" Cyrus sneered with resentment. "I'll look into Josh Schmidt. He and his brother will not get away this time."

"I believe Josh has gotten the news and cleared himself of suspicion. It's hard to accuse him of anything if he did not personally reach out to the culprit. I'm afraid it's impossible to arrest him," Alyssa argued with a stern face.
