Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1669

Upon hearing Nathan's commands, the hooligans who had their hands in their pockets suddenly brandished weapons out of nowhere.

"H-How dare you?" Aidan's voice trembled. He seemed badly shaken. "Do you not know our family's standing in Belbanks? We're just second to the Taylors! You're only bringing trouble to yourselves if you mess with us!"

"Haha! Even a kid knows that the Taylors are the wealthiest in Belbanks. But I haven't heard of the Lovelace family." Nathan stretched his neck to loosen his muscles.

Then, he snickered. "Anyway, I've finally met the Lovelaces in person. Second to the Taylors, huh? I guess that's only in Belbanks. Once you step out of this city, you're a fucking nobody! Hahaha!"

The other gang members joined Nathan in his laughter. Silas guffawed. Even Liam, who always looked serious, betrayed a grin.

"You—" Aidan was at a loss for words. Joseph glared at his useless son, who not only made a joke out of himself but also made the Lovelace family into a laughingstock.

"Mr. Joseph, it's not too late to change your mind." Silas decided to be civil. "You can't afford to get into a fight at this age. If you're beaten up, you might get bedridden for weeks!"

"Go, all of you!" Joseph instructed his men out of anger. He could not accept being taunted by the Taylor scoundrels. "We will leave with Julien today!"

"Damn it! This is the first time I've seen such a stubborn donkey! Guys, teach them a lesson!" Nathan barked.

The men from the Ivory Gang immediately charged at the Lovelaces' bodyguards. Soon, they were embroiled in a fight at the parking garage.

Although Joseph and Aidan were shielded by their bodyguards, they emerged from the fight looking disheveled. The poor Aidan, who tried to put on an act of the good son, was kicked on the butt, slapped in the face, and hit a few times by the stick, causing him to yelp in pain. His suit was in tatters, and so was his reputation.

Silas was enjoying the fight when one of the Lovelaces' bodyguards sneaked in front of him and attempted to punch him in the face.

Before Silas knew it, he heard an agonizing scream. Liam quickly showed up to shield him from the attack and fractured the arm of the bodyguard. Then, he stepped on the bodyguard, who lay sprawled on the floor. It all looked easy for Liam.

"Wow, Colonel, you truly live up to your reputation!" Gaping at the scene, Silas clapped hard. "I dare say, only Jasper Beckett could rival your skills."

"That scoundrel? Is he even this good?" Liam squinted doubtfully.

Silas coughed in embarrassment upon recalling that he was the one who started calling Jasper names. It all felt rather awkward now. "Well, he's not too bad. Let's not forget, he was a military veteran."

At first, Silas thought that the righteous Liam might speak ill of Jasper. To his surprise, Liam fell into a short silence before muttering, "Looks like Jasper Beckett isn't entirely a good-for-nothing."

"Silas! Liam!"

The two brothers spun around when they heard Alyssa calling out to them. They watched as Jasper and Alyssa hurried over with Julien by their side.
