Axel’s remark cut deep with its harsh and caustic tone. No one else in the Taylor family, apart fromAlyssa and Axel, would speak in such a bold manner.

“I’m just here to visit Lyse. Axel, why the verbal attacks?” Jameson wondered out loud, his chestheaving with rage.
“Fine. But why did you threaten the guards with my dad’s name?” Axel confronted him with disdain.
“He’s not your dad, and you’re not a child. Don’t you feel embarrassed to threaten to tell on theguards?”

“Besides, you have a lovely lady by your side. I believe she’s your type, or else you wouldn’t have kepther. Am I right?”
Jameson held his breath and rolled his fists as his heart pounded. Consumed by rage, he glowered atAxel and Jasper until they were out of sight.
Carl stammered, “M-Mr. Schmidt…”
He was intimidated by Jameson’s angry look. Sweating, he asked
