NovelOnline"I'd be damned! That chick is so hot!" A few of the Ivory Gang members, attracted by Alyssa's beauty, were distracted from the fight.
Jasper keenly picked up on the vulgar remarks. He quickly pulled Alyssa into a hug in a protective stance. He had to always be on his guard because Alyssa was simply too stunning.

"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 had brought security over to provoke the Taylors and even got into a fight with the gangsters. In his eyes, Joseph was no different than the hooligans.
"Enough! Back off!" Nathan said and yawned. He didn't care to continue the fighting as the Lovelaces 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 questionwhen you were the one who got into a scandal? You're a disgrace to your family!" Aidan, pressing a hand against his swollen cheek, barked at his brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"A scandal?" Julien broke into a laugh with a bold twinkle in his eye. "All I've done was to go after my 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 forced Jonah 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, chwithright now!" Joseph glowered at Julien. He clenched his jaw and adjusted his loose tie.
"lI won't," Julien smirked, angering Joseph. "Dad, do you takeas a fool? I'm not going hto be beaten to death." "You rascal! Did you hear yourself?" Joseph widened his eyes in shock. He threatened, "Don't call yourself a Lovelace if you don't chwithtoday! You will not inherit any of the family's assets and stocks!" Aidan was delighted to hear the threat. Siblings in a wealthy family shared a familial bond yet treated 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 the sole candidate to inherit Edgar's wealth and Joseph's power. Suddenly, all the injuries he had sustained 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 sreal 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, he is always welcto 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 with determination, "You can't even threatenby disowning me. So, what makes you think | care about the titles and the wealth? "I have never thought of inheriting the family wealth. I'm utterly disappointed in my family. There's nothing | miss in the family after Aunt Mandy left. Why don't we end it once and for all?" "You brat! Scoundrel!"
