"Who knows? Jameson might've been in cahoots with Zoe and responsible for what happened earlier tonight, all just to strike while the iron's hot!" Silas snapped. He wasn't as reserved as his brother was. So, he tore off Jameson's false mask right away.
Winston and Lyla were shocked and in disbelief.
"I know none of you like me, Mr. Jonah. You all know I love Lyse deeply, too. But that doesn't mean you can slander me like that," Jameson said.
He gently touched his glasses and continued, "I have no relations with Zoe whatsoever. The only time was during the horse races. She wanted to cause trouble for Lyse, so I went to Lyse's defense. That's it.
"You're Lyse's brothers, so I won't take further action this time. But I hope there won't be a next time."
Fuck! If his father and Lyla weren't here right now, Silas would've cursed out loud already!
He finally saw how someone could be so adept at shifting the blame from themselves!
"Don't say things without proof, Silas," Winston reminded, his gaze complicated.
Silas was incredibly anxious. He was about to rush forward when Jonah held him back.
"Jameson, it's impossible for you to marry Lyse. Nor will your brother, David, ever marry Taty!"
The moment Jonah said this, Winston and Lyla were left stunned.
Jameson's brows knit tightly together, suspicion growing in his chest.
"Mr. Taylor, Mr. Victor is here to see you!" Barry, the butler, ran over to report.
"Victor is here? At this hour?" Winston asked incredulously, glancing at his watch.
Victor didn't come to meet them alone. He'd brought his eldest, Josh. It was quite the party.
"What did our son do to you, Jonah Taylor? How could you treat David this way? You're too outrageous!" Victor roared, storming into the house. He was so angry even his cheeks were trembling. "What you did was no different than sticking a knife right between my ribs!"
If Jameson had known they couldn't even get this little thing done, he would've helped them from the start.
Victor was so angry he couldn't breathe properly anymore. Josh glared at Jonah while holding his father up. "You didn't have to use such despicable methods to mess with David if you didn't want the marriage to go through! Is this the sort of tactics that the rich and powerful use?"
Before Jonah could speak, Colene had erupted angrily, "Who are you calling despicable?"
Winston was shocked.
Colene truly was her father's daughter. She was a fierce tigress for sure!
"Your father has known Winston for 30 years, so you know exactly what our family is like! If you don't find us trustworthy, why did you come all the way here just to kiss our asses?" Colene snapped.
She was getting angrier by the second. Her hands were now tucked at her waist as she continued, "You think no one else wants our girls? That we have no choice but to fill up the holes in your family? How dare you question our family? I don't think we even need to go through with the marriage now! Josh's behavior absolutely disgusts me!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
