After a while, Mandy, Lyla, and Colene nodded.
“That explains it. It is already quite fortunate that Winston didn’t storm into the Beckett family or skinJasper alive.”
Before they could probe Alyssa further, Clark hurried over and informed them, “Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Winstonis back. He asked for you to go to his study.”
“Got it.”
Alyssa took a deep breath and prepared to leave. Behind her, Mandy, Lyla, and Colene were worriedthat Winston would be difficult.
So, the three of them also expressed their wish to follow along.
In the study, Winston was drinking tea while sitting on the sofa His expression was glum.
Whenever he met with Alyssa in the past, they were always jok around merrily with one another. Theair around them was alwa lively and warm.
It was extremely rare for them to have so much tension.novelbin
“I wanted to speak with Lyse in private. What are all of you taggin along for?”
Winston gave a displeased, side-eyed glance at his wives. Het forcefully set his cup down on the tablewith a resounding thud.
“She is already an adult of good standing. Do you think that I would still spank her like I did when shewas young? Even if I were to hit anyone, I should first beat up that bastard from the Beckett family!”
Upon hearing that, Alyssa’s beautiful face turned glum in an instant.
“Winston.”
Mandy was afraid that Alyssa would get a lecture from Winston. So, she stepped up anxiously to speakfor her.
“It is true that Mr. Jasper did some absurd things in the past. However, he has already repented. He’sused his life to protect Lyse multiple times. He truly cherishes her.”
“Used his life? What do you mean? Was Lyse in some kind of danger? “Winston leaned forwardabruptly when Mandy’s words caught his attention.
“Lyse, she…”
Alyssa immediately interrupted, “I’m fine. What could have happened to me? Mandy wasexaggerating.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want Winston to know about how well Jasper had been treating her and howmuch he doted on her.
Instead, she was more afraid that Winston would be unable to take the news. She would indeed beguilt-ridden for the rest of her life if he fell ill from being panic-stricken.
She had already lost Jennifer. She couldn’t bear to lose Winston, too.
Furthermore, she understood the entire family well. Out of all his children, Winston still loved her themost.
Winston leaned back on the sofa slowly. He glared at her with a gaze. that was as sharp as an eagle’s.
“I am indifferent to whether Jasper has cast a spell on you or ensnared you with his cunning tactics,Alyssa! As long as I breathe, it matters not if he bestows the entire Beckett Group upon you or offershis entire career as his bride-dowry. I am not going to approve of you
“Even if he gives up his worthless life, it is still not enough to make up for all the hurt that he’d causedyou. You wasted three years of your youth for him!”
Winston’s anger fueled some of his exaggerated statements.
However, within the Taylor family, it was widely understood that Alyssa held a place of unparalleledimportance in his life-she was his everything.
When Alyssa just started going to elementary school, she was already as pretty as a doll. Because ofher cute look, many boys fancied her. As a result, she became the envy of many girls.
At that time, Alyssa had a spoiled brat as her classmate. She didn’t like Alyssa and began to alienateher.
Although she didn’t harm her physically, she still tormented her in many ways secretly-tearing up herhomework, stealing her hair clips, and filling her bottle with dirty water.
Thankfully, the young Alyssa was kind and smart. She saw through a those tricks with much ease andavoided all of them. She didn’t hold any grudges either.
She didn’t want Winston to worry, so she never spoke about what happened at school. She was maturefor her age.
One particular day, her classmate, seated behind her in class, maliciously cut off her long braid, acherished length she had been nurturing for quite some time.
Alyssa returned home with her hair in disarray, and it was at that moment Winston discovered theprolonged bullying she had been facing at school.
On that day, Winston, a formidable figure in the business world,
