Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1670

"I'd be damned! That chick is so hot!" A few of the Ivory Gang members, attracted by Alyssa'sbeauty, were distracted from the fight.

Jasper keenly picked up on the vulgar remarks. He quickly pulled Alyssa into a hug in a protectivestance. He had to always be on his guard because Alyssa was simply too stunning.

"What are you staring at? And be polite!" Nathan, aware of Alyssa's status, went up to slap the threeguys on their heads.

"Stop it! Stop fighting!" Julien bellowed at the men.

He wasn't angry over his family being beaten, just disappointed at how his esteemed father hadbrought security over to provoke the Taylors and even got into a fight with the gangsters. In hiseyes, Joseph was no different than the hooligans.

"Enough! Back off!" Nathan said and yawned. He didn't care to continue the fighting as theLovelaces seemed badly defeated by the Ivory Gang anyway.

"Dad, how could you do this as the head of the Lovelace family?" Julien confronted Joseph,clenching his fist and trembling violently.

"Julien Lovelace, how dare you question me when you were the one who got into a scandal? You'rea disgrace to your family!" Aidan, pressing a hand against his swollen cheek, barked at his brother."A scandal?" Julien broke into a laugh with a bold twinkle in his eye. "All I've done was to go aftermy love. It's the best decision I've made in my life."

Alyssa and Jasper were shaken by Julien's daring confession. Society's judgment had not forcedJonah and Julien apart. On the contrary, the disapproval had only strengthened their relationship.Such was the nature of love—determined against all odds and everlasting!

"Julien, come home with me right now!" Joseph glowered at Julien. He clenched his jaw andadjusted his loose tie.

"I won't," Julien smirked, angering Joseph. "Dad, do you take me as a fool? I'm not going home tobe beaten to death.”

"You rascal! Did you hear yourself?" Joseph widened his eyes in shock. He threatened, "Don't callyourself a Lovelace if you don't come home with me today! You will not inherit any of the family'sassets and stocks!"

Aidan was delighted to hear the threat. Siblings in a wealthy family shared a familial bond yettreated each other as rivals. Not many families were as tight as the Taylor siblings.

Aidan knew he'd be the only heir if Julien was disowned by the Lovelace family, rendering him thesole candidate to inherit Edgar's wealth and Joseph's power. Suddenly, all the injuries he hadsustained that day did not feel that painful anymore.

Joseph dialed up his threats. "Not only that, you will be blacklisted from practicing in the country.Our family will exert pressure on the hospitals, and none of them will employ you.”

"Pfft! That is some real bullshit!" Alyssa glared at Joseph and snickered. "Mr. Joseph, are you drunk?Do you think you're the king of the land?

"You don't even have the right to stop Julien from going abroad. Even if he stays in the country, heis always welcome to join the hospitals owned by our family. What can you do about that?"

Silas joined in the teasing. "Tsk tsk. Joseph Lovelace must be really dumb.”

After being publicly humiliated, Joseph was figuring out a clapback when Julien announced withdetermination, "You can't even threaten me by disowning me. So, what makes you think I care aboutthe titles and the wealth?

"I have never thought of inheriting the family wealth. I'm utterly disappointed in my family. There'snothing I miss in the family after Aunt Mandy left. Why don't we end it once and for all?"

"You brat! Scoundrel!"
