Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1614

Julien, after casting one final, loaded look at Alyssa, walked out of Heightsnew Villa without lookingback.

At the same time, Jonah stood tall beside the railing of the balcony on a higher floor. His grip on therailing tightened, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Pain surged through his body as he watched Julien walk away.

Right after Aidan left the Heightsnew Villa grounds, he spat on the ground. His saliva was mixedwith blood, which showed how hard Alyssa had slapped him in the face.

He caught the fleeting, gleeful grin on Julien's lips. Staring hatefully at Julien, he gritted his teethand hissed, "Laugh as much as you want now. You'll suffer when we get home to Grandpa and Dad.”Heightsnew Villa felt a little lonely and quiet without Julien around.

"Where the heck was Winston when his wife was bullied by Aidan?" Alyssa suffered rage-inducedcramps in her abdomen. "He should have taken the responsibility and dealt personally with hisenemy!"

Colene explained, "Lyse, you shouldn't blame him. He's back to the salt mines.”

Her interesting choice of words rendered everyone speechless. She could have just told them thatWinston was back to work. The way she described Winston made him sound more like a miner thana tycoon.

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. "What's wrong with that old man? Why on earth did he get rightback to work after his recovery? Julien made it clear that he needed a lot of rest. Is he trying to meethis maker?"

She might not have worded it nicely, but one could tell she was extremely concerned for Winston.Everyone's faces fell at the mention of Julien. Colene sighed helplessly as she placed an arm aroundMandy's waist. "Mandy, why are your family so vengeful? They're overly orthodox and stubborn.Can't they keep up with the times?"

"I'm no longer a Lovelace. I haven't been one since a while ago.” Smiling wryly, Mandy commented,"I'll get my last name changed when I have the time.”

"Mandy." Alyssa cast a serious look at Mandy. "What exactly happened? How did Aidan learn thatJulien was staying with us?"

Mandy bit her lower lip. She muttered, "I told Aidan about it."

The Taylors looked puzzled and shocked. "But why?"

"I had a good reason for doing so. Don't worry. Julien will not cut off contact with you after hereturns to his home.” Mandy flinched a little. "He's no longer a child. The Lovelace family cannothold control over him forever. You can visit him in Mosgravia at any time if need be."

Alyssa stared keenly at Mandy's eyes. She had a feeling that Mandy had kept a secret from her.Something felt fishy.

Mandy would have kicked Julien out early on if she wanted to. Why did she wait until now to drivehim out and in such an extreme manner?

When she was deep in thought, she heard a set of heavy footsteps approaching. Jonah trudged outof the house, seemingly in a hurry.

Alyssa couldn't help but call out to him, "Jonah, where are you going?"

Turning around, he replied in a low voice, "I have something to attend to." With that, he left theliving room

For a moment, Alyssa was taken aback and questioned her eyes. She noticed that Jonah's eyes werered from crying.
