Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1754

All eyes turned toward the door.

Dressed sharply in a suit, Jameson appeared in everyone's view while pushing a frail woman in a wheelchair.

"Lyse, who's that lady in the wheelchair?" Jasper looked puzzled.

"It's Victor's wife, Jameson's mother." Alyssa's expression darkened as she glanced at Lily.

Jasper narrowed his eyes. He vaguely recalled seeing Jameson's mother once at Lyla's birthday party.

At that time, under Jameson's careful styling, Lily appeared elegant despite her illness. She exuded a remarkable presence, just like an upper-class lady.

However, this time, her condition was noticeably worse than before, with graying hair and sunken cheeks.

Although the banquet hall wasn't cold, she needed to wrap herself in a blanket. She looked uncomfortable under the scrutiny of strangers.

Victor and Josh paled with shock—especially Victor. He stared from a distance at his long-neglected wife, and his eyes gradually reddened with simmering resentment.

He knew full well what Jameson was up to. Now that he was doing well in the Schmidt family, he would undoubtedly prioritize making amends to his mother—compensating her for the years of suffering and indignity she endured.

However, betrayal was a betrayal.

Lily had nailed him to the pillar of shame for a lifetime, and nothing could change that. And now, Jameson was openly parading her around. He was obviously testing Victor's limits and rubbing salt in his wounds.

It also illustrated one thing very clearly—despite Jameson's efforts to please Victor, he was not truly aligned with him. He had his own agenda.

"Dad, Jimmy is selfish and rude!"

Josh gritted his teeth as he stared at Jameson and Lily. "Why did Jimmy bring that crazy woman here? Is he trying to make us a laughingstock?"

"That matter was finally put to rest, but that woman's appearance will only bring it all back to light. Jimmy always talks about respecting you, but he doesn't care about you at all! He's just cunning! You've loved him for nothing!"

Victor's expression grew even darker upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, the surrounding guests gazed at Lily in astonishment as they gossiped.

"Is that the infamous Mrs. Schmidt? My goodness. What has become of her? She doesn't look like an upper-class lady at all. Just a weak, old woman."

"She seems to be mentally ill."

"I heard she was abandoned by the Schmidt family in Kontina for many years, left to fend for herself. Can you blame her for having mental issues?"

"They were married, after all. Mr. Victor is really ruthless."
