Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2439

Jasper and Jonah went to get Sebastian and Xavier out of the car. The four of them then bolted toward the other end of the alley.

A clamor broke out behind them.

Jasper glanced back, his heart pounding.

Warmth surged through his hardened heart as he saw Axel holding his own in a brutal fight against over a dozen assassins, skillfully subduing them one by one.

"Jasper!"

All of a sudden, Jonah stopped in his tracks.

Jasper turned to see what had caught his attention, and his heart sank.

Standing at the alley's end, silhouetted against the light, was a tall figure radiating a presence that commanded fear. Though the man's face was obscured, his unyielding presence was unmistakable. It was Justin's right-hand man, Remy.noveldrama

"Mr. Beckett, w-what should we do?" Xavier stammered.

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Jonah took a step forward. "I'll hold him back. The rest of you, keep going."

"Xavier, Lake Dr. Bender to the press conference immediately. Don't let anything stop you." Jasper swallowed hard. He added in a firm, commanding tone, "I'll stay and face Remy with this brother of mine."

Jonah's eyes widened in shock.

Brother? Had he heard Jasper correctly?

Xavier nodded firmly. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Alright, Mr. Beckett. Be extra careful, both of you!"

No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to obey. After all, if a weak link like him stayed behind, he would just be holding everyone back.

Jonah, however, shook his head. "No. You all need to leave. Now."

"I have gone against him more than once. You might not be able to defeat him on your own.

The moment Jasper made up his mind, he wasn't going to change it.

Before they could argue further, Remy charged at them, his presence radiating cold fury.

"Go!" Jonah barked, stepping forward with a sharp dagger in hand.

In an instant, the two men clashed.

In that instance, Jasper's eyes widened. Something was wrong.

Jonah had a sharp weapon in his hand while Remy stood unarmed.

Not only that, in their previous encounters, Remy had radiated the ferocity of a beast eager to rip apart his foe. But this time, Jasper couldn't feel the same menace from Remy.

"Jonah, hold on!" Jasper shouted.

Nonetheless, it was too late. Jonah's dagger had plunged deep into Remy's right shoulder. Blood flowed freely, staining the ground.

Yet Remny remained eerily calm, his expression devoid of pain. He stared coldly at Jonah, whose face glistened with sweat.

Then, something flickered in Remy's eyes. His vision blurred, and fragmented images flooded his mind-flashes of faces and moments. Some were of the man before his eyes, and some were of Alyssa. There were also images of

a middle-aged woman crying out a name-Damien.

Confusion clouded Remy's features, but one thing was certain-he no longer felt the searing hatred he once harbored for these people.

Jonah froze, his gaze fixed on the extremely familiar face before him. His grip on the dagger tightened.

The fact that Remy hadn't evaded or countered his attack surprised him, but Jonah wasn't about to lower his guard. After all, this man was Justin's weapon-the very same man who had mercilessly attacked Alyssa and Jasper time and again.

Even if it meant sacrificing his life, Jonah would not let Remy have the upper hand. With grim determination, Jonah yanked the dagger from Remy's shoulder and raised it again

"Jonah, wait!" Jasper's voice cut through the tension.

With his eyes fixed on Remy, Jasper saw that Remy had no intention of fighting. He took a breath, steadying his voice as he said, "He's your younger brother. Hold back for now!"
