Tatiana, who moments ago displayed the demeanor of a heroine, suddenly wilted upon knowing it was
her father calling. She lowered her head.
"It's okay, Taty."
Sean embraced her tightly, gazing at her with resolute but affectionate eyes. "I'll be with you. I'll go
home with you. If Mr. Taylor wants to scold you for this, I'll take the blame for you."
"H-How can you do that? Dad's very scary when he's angry," Tatiana mumbled, feeling nervous.
Sean chuckled softly. "I'll say... 'Dad, if you want to vent your anger, take it out on me. Don't ruin your
relationship with Taty.'"
Tatiana's heart skipped a beat at his words. She felt a tingling sensation coursing through her body. Her
fair face flushed, making her look so adorable that Sean couldn't take his eyes off her.
While this young couple discussed their plans earnestly, Alyssa was at her wits' end.
She wasn't afraid of Winston. She was worried that he would blame Tatiana and ground her at home.
This would make life for this young couple even harder.
Winston hadn't stopped calling since the first call.
Understanding Alyssa's dilemma, Jasper spoke up seriously. "Lyse, if you don't know what to do, let me
talk to Mr. Taylor."
"You?" Alyssa blinked. "What are you going to say?"
After some thought, he smiled and gazed at her gently as he recited Sean's plan. "I'll say. 'Dad,
everything was my idea. It has nothing to do with Lyse, Taty, or Sean. If you want to scold someone,novelbin
scold me. Don't—'"
"Stop! Why are you making things worse?"
Alyssa pouted in anger and poked her finger at his solid chest. "The way Sean said it was quite
adorable, but when you say that to Dad, it's like you're pushing your luck. Don't you want to be with me
anymore?"
Seeing Alyssa getting upset, Jasper panicked. He quickly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his
chest. "I'm sorry, I was just joking."
But in reality, he didn't think it was a joke at all. His top priority now was to marry Alyssa and become
Winston's son-in-law. Everything else could be set aside for now.
Alyssa composed herself, prepared her lines, and answered the call.
"Dad."
Is Taty with you?" Winston asked directly.
"Yeah, she's here." Alyssa's heart pounded nervously.
"Pass the phone to her." Winston's low voice carried a hint of urgency.
Alyssa took a deep breath. Her expression was serious as she said, "Dad, at this point, scolding Taty is
pointless. Instead of getting angry, why don't we think about how to deal with the situation?"
Winston rolled his eyes in exasperation at the other end of the phone. "Are you serious, Alyssa? Do
you see me as a weak and dumb old man?"
Alyssa raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that Winston really lived up to being called a top-notch big
shot. He had quite an accurate sense of self-awareness, she mused.
Winston's voice was loud enough for Jasper and the others to hear.
Tatiana knew Alyssa was taking the heat for her and felt extremely guilty.
Just as she was about to take the phone, Winston let out a heavy sigh. "Do you think stopping me will
help? I know you're at the KS World Hotel in Solana City.
"With my temper, if I'm angry, Taty will already be tied up and sent back to Heightsnew Villa."
The word "tied" was quite terrifying, causing Sean's heart to wrench. He held Tatiana even tighter.
Jasper silently observed in his thoughts that those two were undeniably father and daughter. The
similarity in their temperaments, especially when angered, was striking.
Winston's tone softened. "I called to check in, not to blame Taty. Hurry up. I'm worried sick. I want to
hear her voice."
Alyssa's eyes narrowed slightly as she handed the phone to Tatiana. "Taty, Dad wants to talk to you."
