Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was already the weekend.

Tonight at Schmidt Manor, the massive fountain in the central courtyard was turned on again, and the hall was adorned with flowers. The whole place looked grand and luxurious, like an opulent palace.

Guests gathered in the main hall. Many well-dressed individuals clinked glasses together, creating a lively atmosphere.

Since Daisy's heavy sentence and David's tragic death in prison, the entire Schmidt family had been plunged into an unprecedented crisis. This was exacerbated by a series of business mistakes that led to a sharp drop in Schmidt Group's stock prices.

Since then, a heavy atmosphere had been lingering. It had been a long time since they had such a glamorous occasion.

Victor, accompanied by Josh and Clarissa, mingled among the guests, enjoying the praise and flattery that hadn't been heard in a long time. Victor was particularly pleased.
