Chapter 1628

Jonah's steely figure was something Julien could recognize even from miles away.

Julien's heart raced. He grabbed onto the railing tightly. He kept leaning his body forward to get a

better view. He wished that he could just jump down at this moment.

Jonah's posture was one of a kind. He was absolutely drawn to him. It couldn't have been anyone

else other than Jonah!

"Jonah... Jonah! Jonah!" Julien yelled.

Unfortunately, the distance between them was too great.

Coincidentally, a strong wind started to blow.

Julien was already heavily injured. It was already difficult for him to breathe in the first place. His

weak voice was simply lost in the wind. Jonah couldn't have heard him at all.

"Jonah! Can't you hear me? Turn around... Turn around! I'm right behind you..."

His voice became hoarse as he yelled. He could barely be heard toward the end.

Julien watched as Jonah got into his black-colored sports car. In the blink of an eye, Jonah's car

zoomed away and disappeared into the night.

"What a jerk! Couldn't you have just waited a little longer for me?"

Julien looked as if his soul had left his body. He plopped himself on the floor angrily. He burst out in

tears

"Jonah, why didn't you wait for me? I wanna leave with you..."

It was deep into the night.

In the study, Joseph was on the phone with Edgar. He updated him about Julien's current situation.

Edgar was clearly unhappy to find out that Joseph had given Julien corporal punishment. Although

he didn't give Joseph a roasting, it was obvious that he sounded upset.

"Julien's medical skills are pretty good. He is a renowned doctor in the field of neurology in

Mosgravia! Even I know about his achievements. Don't tell me that you haven't heard about them?"

Through gritted teeth, Joseph replied, "Of course I've heard about them too. But Dad, what Julien

did this time was against our family's principles.

"He put our family to shame. That's absolutely outrageous. If I don't serve him a severe punishment,

who knows what other ridiculous deeds he will be up to next time? We would become a laughing

stock.”

Edgar cleared his throat. "There are other methods that you could've used to punish him. It's not

necessary to injure him physically.”

Edgar spoke sternly, "I only have two grandchildren—Aidan and Julien. You have brought Aidan up

to be a businessman. He has completely given up on the medical profession.

"As for you, it has been over a decade since you performed a surgery. You've been managing the

pharmaceutical factory, the biomedical research center, and the hospital. You have been thriving in

the business world.

"Hence, Julien is the only one who can really take over my position. If you beat him up until he

becomes a disabled man, the Lovelace Group will not have a successor. If that happens, we no

longer deserve to be known as a family of doctors!"

"But Dad..."

"I'm well aware of the reason why you're targeting Julien like this.”

Edgar's voice became deep. He spoke with a sense of warning, "So many years have passed, Jo. Are

you still feeling resentful?"

Joseph's expression froze. "Dad, what is there for me to be resentful about? Even if that were so, it's

because my kids have grown up. They have spread their wings and are ready to fly. They're not

willing to be disciplined anymore. I'm just afraid that they'd cause trouble for the Lovelace Group."

"No matter how much I despise Winston, my precious daughter still ended up choosing him. They

also ended up having children together. Their children are successful people.

"Also, she has been with the Taylor family for over 20 years. All this while, I have never heard

anything about her not getting along with Winston. Thus, I know that Winston has been treating her

very well.”

"Dad...

"I know that you've always fancied Mandy."

Edgar's words pierced the deepest part of Joseph's heart, which he had kept hidden.

He pursed his lips. He clenched his fists by his side.

"You are my adopted son. You are not biologically related to Mandy. But ethically, she will always be

your sister. Whether in the past or in the current times, things would be impossible between the

both of you."
