Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1611

Alyssa's hand froze midair. Her eyes reflected astonishment.

Even though Alyssa was irked by Aidan's taunts, she appeared more emotionally composed than before, possibly due to being in love. She calmed down soon enough.

However, Jasper was the one who couldn't take it. He took her hand and pulled her into a tight hug.

Holding her shoulder, he addressed Aidan sternly, "Is that your family rule? I thought it was arrogance and conceitedness."

Aidan furrowed his brows. "What did you say?"

"Am I wrong?" Jasper cast an intimidating look at him. "I don't care about the relationship between your family and hers. Lyse is a sensible and well-mannered woman. She wouldn't slight you if you didn't do it to her in the first place.

"You were rude to her just now. It's clear that you're the problem here. Mr. Lovelace, you're a senior to Lyse and a respectable man, but I'm appalled by your behavior."

Alyssa lifted her gaze to stare at Jasper through tears. She fought the urge to give him a kiss there and then in front of everyone.

"You—" Aidan finally sprung up from the couch and glared at Jasper.

"Aidan!" Julien, looking glum, showed up right in time just as the tension was about to get out of hand. Mandy followed closely behind him, only stopping after she spotted Aidan, sensibly keeping a distance between them.

Meanwhile, Lyla, Colene, Tatiana, and Sean joined the scene after learning that the Lovelaces had stepped foot in Heightsnew Villa, as they feared any potential altercation. It was so rare to see a Lovelace at the Taylors' residence.

As Jasper was not a Taylor, he did not understand the dynamics between the two feuding families. However, Alyssa's heart had leaped into her throat upon seeing the situation.

"Aidan, let's talk after we leave," whispered Julien after he stopped in front of Aidan.

Aidan, with a hand in his pocket, slowly turned around to face his younger brother. The next moment, a resounding slap echoed in the living room, causing everyone to gasp.

Aidan had slapped Julien hard in front of everyone. The sound rang throughout the area. He spat, "You shameless brat! Have you forgotten about the vows made by Grandpa and Dad?"

It seemed like Aidan deliberately wanted to go against Julien. He insisted on arguing and shaming Julien in the living room, even though Julien had suggested talking elsewhere.

Colene barked, "Say it out loud, and I'll crack your head open! Try me!"

Aidan scoffed at her in disdain. In his eyes, Colene was as lowly as Mandy—Winston Taylor's mistress had no business speaking to him.

"Aidan, stop it. If you're angry, take it out on me." Julien inhaled deeply. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body was shaking like a leaf. "It was all my idea. I was the one who insisted on coming to the Taylors and treating Mr. Winston. Aunt Mandy had nothing to do with it, so keep her out of this matter!"

"Get lost!" Aidan chastised Julien.

Despite feeling reluctant to leave Heightsnew Villa, Julien understood that he would only cause more trouble for Mandy and the other members of the Taylor family if he stayed put.

He dragged himself out of the living room. A few steps later, he couldn't help but turn around to sweep his gaze across the area.

Jonah was nowhere to be found at the most challenging time. Julien pondered whether Jonah was not intending to see him off, questioning whether the latter truly contemplated breaking up with him.

Just then, Aidan suddenly marched over to Mandy with a frosty expression.
