Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1269

Landon's hair stood on end at Axel's arrival.

He was known to be a living Hades. Landon thought he was a goner to encounter Axel. Plus, he was Alyssa's brother, so he didn't dare make a move.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Harper…" Angelina heaved a heavy sigh as she looked at Landon, her eyes filled with self-blame.

Landon swallowed hard and said anxiously, "Stop it! For someone of your status, you shouldn't lay your hands on a woman. It's distasteful."

"So, I'm supposed to stand here and let this woman beat me up, huh?"

Axel yawned lazily, "Am I that dumb?"

One sentence from Axel sent Landon off the roof.

He understood Angelina's nature and her skill level. Once she chose to follow him, her loyalty was unwavering. She would fight with all her might if anyone dared to offend Landon.

"But, you're right. I won't lay my hands on a woman."

Axel nonchalantly let go. He arrogantly perked his eyebrow. "Babe, consider yourself a lucky woman. Otherwise, I would have fucked you."

"Bastard!" Angelina was headstrong, unwilling to endure such humiliation. Her eyes gleamed with fury as she clenched her fists, eager for a fight. However, Landon shouted for her to stop. "Angelina, watch yourself. He is Alyssa's brother."

Angelina was taken aback. In a state of shock, she retracted her fists. She couldn't fathom that he was Alyssa's brother—a Taylor, no less. The idea that such an unruly man could be part of Alyssa's family seemed unbelievable to her.

Axel stuck his tongue out at Angelina, who was dumbfounded. Then, he turned to meet Landon's gaze. His eyes held a glum and cold demeanor. "I assume Lyse and Jasper are here."

…

The room exuded a heartwarming ambiance.

Alyssa saw the injury on Jasper's face. She was shocked, angry, and sad at the same time. She held his face. "Who did this? Tell me!"

"I fell while looking for you." Jasper laughed dryly as both his hands caressed her back gently.

"Nonsense! You're saying your face hit the ground when you fell. Are you that dumb?"

Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks. "Lauren?"

Jasper lifted her from the bed, securing his hold on her waist. He walked to the door and opened it.

There stood Lauren. Her eyes reddened, and her flushed face had traces of butter on it. "Jasper! Alyssa! Something bad happened! Some bad guy is here to take you away, Alyssa."

"Bad guy?" Both of them were dumbfounded.

In the next moment, Axel's tall and robust figure materialized behind Lauren like a ghost. A subtle glint of coldness flickered in his clear eyes. "Lyse."

"A-Axel…" Alyssa's face was instantly drained of color. She shrieked, "Jasper, close the door!"

Jasper was typically calm, but his mind became hazy at the sight of Axel.

However, Lauren reacted swiftly. Sweating from panic, she hurriedly assisted in closing the door.
