“The durian is also soft inside and sweet in taste,” Jonah disagreed. He playfully touched the tip of
Alyssa’s nose “Doesn’t that sound just like you?”
She looked away, adorably feigning anger and letting out a snort.
“Anyway, Lyse, you really shouldn’t fall into Jasper’s trap again. Men are all scumbags!” Liam advised
Alyssa, worried that his sibling might reignite her relationship with Jasper.
“Except for me, Liam,” Sean timidly stood up for himself.
“Me too,” Jonah chimed in.
“Right, right. The guys in our family are pretty decent,” Liam hurriedly added.
“Well, not all. There’s this one old man who tarnishes the reputation of Taylor men,” joked Alyssa. She
crossed her legs.
The three men exchanged knowing glances. Winston Taylor immediately came to their minds.
“I don’t give a damn!” Mandy scowled when she was being asked to help Jasper. She had alwaysyielded
to Alyssa’s wishes, but this time, she staunchly refused Alyssa’s request for the medications.
“Mandy, listen to me…” Alyssa pleaded in desperation.
“There’s nothing more to talk about.” Mandy waved at her and reminded her coldly, “I’m well aware ofhow
he mistreated you in the past. Lyla and Colette would have remembered it, too. Isn’t he the president of

Mandy frowned. “What do you mean?”

Mandy’s hand went cold as she heard about the harrowing experience. She scolded, “Lyse, if you weremy
daughter, I would have grounded you and given you a good beating! You’re quite the daredevil!”
“Only Jonah, Liam, and Sean knew about this. Winston is still in the dark.” Alyssa placed a fingerbetween
her lips and whispered, “Please keep this a secret from him. I’m scared his blood pressure might
skyrocket if he finds out.”
“God, I’m tired of keeping secrets for you. We’ve gathered enough secrets to fill a dossier from your
marriage to Jasper Beckett,” Mandy grumbled, poking Alyssa lightly on the temple.
She added, “I should have told your dad about the mountain incident and have him discipline you!”
“He-he! Even if you did, he wouldn’t be able to do much. He would have disciplined me earlier if hecould
have,” Alyssa teased.
After some persuasion, Alyssa finally convinced Mandy to help.novelbin
