Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue -
Chapter 1667
Aidan followed closely behind Joseph with fury as he ranted and badmouthed Julien. If he could, hewould crucify Julien. "That's why we couldn't replace him for days! It turns out he went to Jonah Taylor.Jonah Taylor kept him hidden!
"Just look at him! He led a promiscuous life with the foreigners abroad, but he didn't change hisways after coming home. Not only that, he got involved with Jonah Taylor out of anyone else. It's adisgrace to the family! If Grandpa learned about this—"
"Shut up!" Joseph's irritation increased when he heard Aidan’s rants. If only he could seal Aidan'slips! "As the oldest son, you're outperformed by Julien in medical expertise, and you don't havetalent in business either.
"How could you even fail at making Julien toe the line? That was a simple task. You are a good-for-nothing!"
Anger pulsed through Aidan. He felt unfairly implicated. Meanwhile, Joseph's eyes were colored byrage. "If you had told me about Julien's ridiculous affairs early on, the scandal wouldn't havehappened.
"Now, the entire world has heard of the monster our family produced! How can I ever hold my headhigh in public now?"
"Dad, I wanted to keep Julien in check, but he was at Mosgravia at that time. Besides, you know howstubborn and unruly he is. I couldn't keep him in line even if I wanted to!" Aidan's expressiondarkened.
He hissed, "Dad, now that this horrendous scandal has broken, you need to double down ondisciplining Julien after we get home. He shall not be allowed to get in touch with the Taylorsanymore, especially with Jonah Taylor. How disgusting it is for two grown men to hug and kiss eachother!"
Joseph shared the same sentiments on the gay couple. For a second, he wanted Julien dead.
It didn't take long for the Lovelace entourage to run into two towering men who exuded a regal yetintimidating air. They had bumped into Silas and Liam.
Despite showing up with a huge group, including secretaries and bodyguards, the Lovelaces wereinstantly flustered in the face of Silas and Liam. The two Taylor siblings had won the battle without afight.
"Liam." Looking stern, Silas quietly elbowed his sibling. "Look at their men. I'm kind of panicked. Ifthere's a fight, you need to protect me because I'm the worst at combat among the four of us.”Liam flashed a faint grin at his sibling. "Don't worry. I'll protect you like you're my woman if we getinto a fight with them.”
Silas developed goosebumps from the cheesy metaphor. "That was a good metaphor, but maybedon't bring it up ever again.”
"What are you doing now?" Aidan confronted the Taylor brothers, emboldened by their huge groupand eager to show off in front of Joseph.
Silas chuckled. "Ah, you brat, you stole my lines. What are the Lovelaces doing, showing up at ourhospital with that large group of men? You guys seem pretty normal, though. Is there perhapssomething wrong in your head? Are you here to see the psychiatrist?"
Joseph's face crumpled when he heard Silas’ taunt. Aidan angrily pointed a finger at Silas. "SilasTaylor, who are you taunting now?"
"That would be the person who felt offended by my remark," Silas quipped with a lift of the brow."I'm surprised my sarcasm went right over your head. I guess there are some real dimwits in theworld after all.”
"You—" Aidan nearly went up to fight Silas in a fit of rage, but he worried he might lose to the latter.Arguing with Aidan was a piece of cake for Silas, a seasoned prosecutor who had ample practice incourt.
"Aidan, that's enough." Joseph raised a hand to stop the escalation. He turned to Silas with a sternexpression. "I know Julien is with you. Tell him to show himself. I'll take him home."
Silas coldly retorted, "If that's what you're here for, please leave. Julien will not come home withyou."
"Who do you think you are? You're in no place to say that to us! Julien is a Lovelace; the Taylorshave no right to decide for him!" Aidan growled.
