Julien got released from his "cell" and taken to the courtyard.
The front yard of Lovelace Residence was packed with people as everyone had gathered there.
Julien was looking fit. He stood tall in the middle of the courtyard. Joseph was sitting on a wooden chair. Julien watched as his father sipped on his tea.
Aidan was standing respectfully by the side. They had also called on an audience to watch the spectacle that was about to happen.
Julien felt extremely uncomfortable. His stomach churned.
Beyond the walls lay a modern civilization, yet within the confines of their home, it remained a feudal society.
When he was young, he always thought that Mandy's actions weren't justified. She was from the Lovelace family. This was a family that gave her such a luxurious life. However, she would rather rebel and escape this family. It wasn't worth it at all.
That said, his heart was being swayed right now. He was tempted to follow in Mandy's footsteps.
"Kneel," Joseph ordered in a cold voice.
Julien straightened his back. He faked a slight smile. "Dad, what century are we in now? We don't even have to kneel when we meet royalty. Isn't it time that we move on from our feudal ways?"
Joseph froze.
Aidan chided, "Julien! You're the one who was in the wrong. You were the one who put our family to shame. Is this how you apologize?"
"You asked me to admit to my mistakes. I did so. I have said what I needed to say. It's not going to happen again in the future."
It was not going to happen again.
When Julien said those words, it felt like his heart was bleeding. It was so painful, as if a part of his heart was being cruelly cut out.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
