Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

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.
Aidan continued, "Do not blame me for going hard on you. You've humiliated
Grandpa and Dad. As your brother, I'll need to teach you a lesson by giving you a
taste of your own medicine."
Mandy's heart tightened when she witnessed her favorite nephew being slapped
by Aidan. Although she was the one who called Aidan to get Julien, she hadn't
expected Aidan to be so unruly as to get physical in Heightsnew Villa.
She had a strong desire to protect Julien, but she recalled that she had made
vows. The moment she decided to choose Winston over the Lovelace family
despite their protests, she was no longer a Lovelace. Their fortunes were none of
her business.
Shaking violently, Julien merely clenched his fist and hung his head defeatedly.
His usual vigor and confidence were nowhere to be found.
"Aidan, act civil. Why would you slap him in front of others? That's not how a
Lovelace should behave." Seething, Alyssa tried to approach Aidan but was held
back by Jasper.
Jasper wasn't against Alyssa standing up for Julien. He was just worried that
Aidan might hurt her, given how crazy he had behaved.
"I'm hitting a Lovelace, so it has nothing to do with you." Snickering, Aidan took a
subtle jab, "Unless Julien turns into another shameless loser and a disgrace to
the family, who ditches his family for love, I will need to keep him in line as his
brother.”
Without naming Mandy, he subtly humiliated her, calling her a shameless loser
and a disgrace to the family. The Taylors fully grasped the underlying meaning of
his remark.

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.

"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.
