Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1664

Jasper held back the urge to roll his eyes as he tapped out of the chat.

…

Alyssa, seated in another room, repeatedly scrolled through the malicious comments online. Heartbroken and tearing up, she nearly crushed the phone screen. Silas and Liam kept her company, not knowing what to do except to exchange looks because they'd never come across such a situation.

"Lyse, don't fret about it. Jonah and Julien aren't in the entertainment industry. The scandal will die down after a while," Silas comforted Alyssa.

He sighed, feeling sorry for Jonah.

"Sure, the gossip will eventually die down, but Jonah and Julien will be scarred forever." Alyssa closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to calm herself. "Jonah is the president of KS Group. We might own the company, but Jonah's reputation and public image have taken a huge hit.

"This is what the mastermind wishes to see—to tarnish Jonah's reputation so that he couldn't face the public.

"Julien isn't a public figure, but the Lovelace family is difficult. Now that they've heard about the scandal, I'm afraid Julien can't go back to them."

The thought of it upset her to no end. After hanging out with Julien for a while and going through ups and downs together, she had already considered him family.

Upon learning that Julien had suffered beatings by the Lovelace family, Alyssa felt an overwhelming urge to retaliate on his behalf. She nearly stormed to their residence.

Just like Jonah, she did not wish to see Julien suffer.

Liam immediately knelt beside her upon seeing the tears in her eyes. Holding her hand tenderly, he peered into her eyes. "Lyse, don't worry. If the Lovelaces are ignorant enough to abandon a fine young man like Julien, we'll take him in."

Hearing that, Liam joked in an unbothered fashion, "Whatever. If I can't find a lady, I'll pick a good-looking man from the guys around me."

That prompted Alyssa and Silas to glare at him. "No. You'd better not!"

At that moment, they heard a dull knock on the door. Silas answered the door and looked flustered. "J-Julien?"

Alyssa shot up from the couch when she learned that Julien had arrived.

"Silas, is Lyse in the room?" Julien managed to squeeze a few words from his parched lips. "I… I would like a quick chat with her in private."
