Chapter 1662
Can’t Win Me Back
Setting aside Winston's titles, he was first and foremost a father. He had promised Jennifer to
protect their children as long as he was alive.
Following the exposé, Jonah and Julien's relationship created a huge stir online. One could only
imagine the level of insults hurled at them by the public and KS Group's business rivals, who wished
for the companyâs downfall.
Someone wrote, "What the fuck? That's revolting. Don't homosexuals lead a promiscuous life and
are prone to getting AIDS?"
"How obscene! That's against the law of nature.â
"The homosexual circle sounds pretty messed up. They could sleep with anyone. True love doesn't
exist for them.â
"Jonah Taylor's image is irreparably ruined. He was once the perfect president of KS Group, but he's
done for now!"
"I'm more shocked by his lover. It's Julien Lovelace of the Lovelace Group! OMG! The rich certainly
chase after thrills.â
"What a waste of two hotties!"
The Taylor family was in disarray after the scandal. Lyla, Colene, Tatiana, and Cyrus joined Mandy in
the adjacent room to offer comfort. Mandy was understandably upset because the scandal involved
the Lovelace family as well.
Besides, she was one of the first few to learn about the relationship and keep it under wraps.
Drowning in remorse, she wanted to punch herself in the chest. Julien was her nephew, and Jonah
was like a son to her. Both were family, and she shared their pain.
Standing alone at the end of the corridor, Jasper answered a call from Xavier.
Xavier reported, "Mr. Beckett, we've tracked down the user who spread the photos of Mr. Jonah and
Dr. Lovelace. He's in our hands now. That man is an infamous tabloid reporter who'd do anything
for money.
"He claimed that he'd received the photo and tip-off from an anonymous sender and received the
transfer via bank account. He had not once met with the culprit, claiming that he was just taking
orders."
"Get rid of this reporter. Teach him a really good lesson," Jasper hissed, his eyes looking frosty.
"Roger that! You have nothing to worry about. I'll make sure to make it hellish for him." Xavier
seemed equally enraged.
"Obtain any piece of information about the culprit from the reporter, no matter how small. I'll
personally look into it." Jasper, a graduate of a military school, had taken lessons on cybersecurity
and knew a thing or two about hacking. It was time to refresh his knowledge.
Xavier blurted out without thinking, "You? Forgive me for my bluntness, but wouldn't it be faster for
Madam to perform the hacking?"
"Are you looking down on me now?" Jasper clenched his jaw.
Inhaling sharply, Xavier replied, âI'm on it!"
Jasper immediately received another call from an unknown number right after talking to Xavier,
causing him to frown in suspicion. He never answered calls from strangers, not to mention it was
weird for strangers to learn about his personal number, which only a few knew, unlike his work
phone number.
Still, he picked up. "Who is this?"
"Is this a hotline? Do I have to spam it to get through?" Axel's unserious voice rang on the other
end.
Jasper's eyes lit up with joy. "Axel?"
"How's Jonah?" Axel's voice turned serious and filled with concern.
"He is having a chat with Winston now. I believe he's pretty affected by the scandal.â Never good at
words of comfort, Jasper only offered a frank response.
After a short pause, Axel questioned, "How's Winston doing? He didn't faint or anything, did he?"
Speechless, Jasper assured him, "No, he didn't, but we worried that the bad news might take a toll
on his health."
"He should be fine. He's pretty tough. He didn't even collapse after learning about your three-year
secret marriage with Lyse, where she suffered a miscarriage. There's no reason he'd succumb to this
scandal.â
Jasper pressed against his chest and let out a dull cough as though he was shot. Jasper feared he
might collapse before Winston even did from Axel's caustic remarks.
