Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1612

Aidan called out, "Aunt Mandy."

An oppressive silence hung in the living room. Mandy gritted her teeth as she laid her eyes on Aidan. He wore an amused expression.

He did not courteously address her as "Aunt Mandy" to protect her ego; it was all to uphold his image and reputation as the eldest grandson of the Lovelace family.

"Grandpa hasn't been eating or drinking for two days after learning about what Julien had done. He is bedridden because of anger. You can imagine how furious he is now."

Aidan's eyes were emotionless as he continued, "The last time Grandpa had an outburst of a similar extent was when you decided to be with Mr. Winston despite knowing he was a married man. You volunteered to be his mistress, tainting you and our family's reputations."

Aidan had used the insulting word "mistress" to describe one of his family members. Mandy turned white but did not back down. She might no longer be a Lovelace, but she still carried a dignified air.

Alyssa felt a stabbing pain in her chest. Trembling, she felt anger flooding her veins.

Jasper furrowed his brows as he grasped her cold hand tightly. At this moment, he had finally wrapped his head around the situation. The Lovelaces had a vendetta with the Taylors due to the relationship between Mandy and Winston.

Watching Mandy getting humiliated was Julien's last straw. He bellowed, "Aidan, enough is enough! I have agreed to go home with you. What more do you want?"

Aidan's forehead wrinkled in anger. He pointed a finger in Julien's face. "Shut up! This is not your place to speak!"

Alyssa glowered at Aidan. With a stifling family like this, she finally understood why Julien chose to live abroad and struggle alone rather than come home to the Lovelaces for an easy career in Lovelace Pharmaceuticals.

"Are you dumb or just plain stupid? Go fly a kite! Stop talking shit here!" Colene freed herself from Lyla and Tatiana. She barged toward Aidan like an unrestrained animal.

Thankfully, Sean stopped her halfway in her tracks. Only a six-foot man like Sean had the strength to hold her back.

Aidan calmly chuckled. He turned to Mandy. "Aunt Mandy, Dad sent me here for two reasons—to bring Julien home and to send you a message.

"Lyse…" Always the kindest and gentlest soul, Tatiana sobbed silently in Sean's arms. Sean cried while comforting her.

"Aidan Lovelace, are you done?" Mandy finally lost her temper.

"All I'm doing is deliver Dad's message. Why else would I waste my time traveling here to talk to you?" Aidan lifted his chin in arrogance and stared down at her pale face. "You were the one who married Winston Taylor and made the vow to cut ties with our family.

"Grandpa reluctantly helped you out only because you went on your knees and risked your life begging him. You should know when to stop instead of pushing your luck."

Aidan addressed his aunt with no respect at all. As the eldest grandson of Edgar Lovelace, Aidan held himself in high regard as he was favored by the family, saying and doing anything he wished without a care.

"Julien is young and gullible. Often, he can't tell right from wrong. Aunt Mandy, if you care for him, you shouldn't drag him down with you. You'll only put him in a dilemma." Aidan scoffed and proceeded to leave the place in great strides.

"Stop right there!" Suddenly, Alyssa called out to him in an icy tone.
