Mandy trembled at the thought of even asking for Axel’s help, knowing that Axel was resentful towardher and the entire Taylor family.
Despite Mandy’s sacrifices and true love for Winston and her stepchildren, Axel had stubbornlyperceived her as a homewrecker. Without Mandy opening the polygamous floodgate, Winston wouldn’thave gone on to marry Lyla and Colene.
Axel probably wondered if Winston would have stayed monogamous had it not been for Mandy’s
presence.

replied to Alyssa, “I’ll get this done right away. I’m calling Julien now.”
She always attended to Alyssa’s concerns promptly. She dialed Julien’s number, and soon, they heard.Julien’s surprisingly youthful voice from the other end. He greeted, “Aunt Mandy, I’ve missed you!”
“Julien, have you been busy lately? You didn’t call me at all. Did you have too much fun and forgetaboutnovelbin
me?’ Mandy teased him.
“Gosh, no! I’d never forget a lovely lady like you, replied Julien. Alyssa lifted a brow at his slick reply.
From how Julien spoke to Mandy, Alyssa perceived him as a sweet talker. He presented himself very
differently from what she had imagined.
“Julien, you’re all grown up. When you were younger, I could praise you for being clever. Now, you’rejust
cheesy,” Mandy teased him with a chuckle.
He protested, “I’m just 27 years old! Call me cheesy when I hit my thirties. If I’m not wrong, my cousins
should have reached that age. I bet you interacted with those cheesy guys too much.
“You should visit Mosgravia to enjoy the company of a good-looking gentleman like me! Hahaha!”
Alyssa grimaced when she overheard Julien’s remarks. He sounded unserious, annoying, and crude.

“Who is that?” Julien wondered. Mandy glanced at a visibly nervous Alyssa and answered, “Why don’tyou come to Solana City? I’ll bring you to him when you’re here.”
“Aunt Mandy, you know my rules. Patient information is the first thing I need before any consultation, orI will not take the case,” Julien countered. He was smart enough not to fall into Mandy’s trap.
He seemed like a really fussy person to deal with,
Mandy had no choice but to divulge. “His name is Jasper Beckett. He’s an important friend to Lyse.”
“You mean that president of Beckett Group, Jasper Beckett?” Julien gasped, his tone visibly growingsolemn.
“Yes,”
“Aunt Mandy, I need to get going. Goodbye!”
“Hey, Julien! Listen to me-”
“There’s nothing more to discuss. You know my principles. The reason I went to Mosgravia and startedmy career in a foreign land was because I despised the elitism in Solana City.
“When I worked at the local hospital years ago, I witnessed a poor couple kneeling in front of thehospital director’s office just to beg for a heart transplant that was originally supposed to be for theirdaughter!”
