Otherwise, Alyssa would only help Jasper gain more enemies. The Schmidt family would definitely
target Jasper if they knew.
"Oh, thank the heavens... thank the heavens!" Winston cried to himself, though he was still
overwhelmed with anxiety for Tatiana.
"Sexually incompetent? How could my son be sexually incompetent?" Victor was stunned by this news.
His face grew beet red with rage upon hearing Winston's words. "What did you just say, Winston
Taylor? Are you cursing my son?"
"Curse?" Winston sneered angrily, his eyes boiling with fury. "David deserves hell for what he did to my
daughter! If he wasn't your son, Victor, I would've made sure he didn't live to see another day! Beating
him up and tossing him behind bars is already the greatest mercy I can give!"
Victor and Josh's hearts lurched.
They had come all this way to Belbanks just to demand an answer from the Taylor family, yet who knew
they would end up humiliating themselves instead!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJameson's eyes were burning with anger. Blood beaded on his lip as his teeth bit through.
If this continued, David's chance of survival would be slim. The relationship between the families would
be ruined, too! Consequently, it would undoubtedly become one more obstacle between Jameson and
Alyssa!
"Why... Why?" Lyla finally broke down.
She sobbed painfully in Winston's arms before screaming at Victor in a fit of rage, "Is it all because Taty
is my daughter? Does she deserve to be taken advantage of just because a weak little woman like me
gave birth to her?"
"Don't insult yourself, Lyla!" Mandy ran up to hug Lyla, tears filling her eyes. "Taty is our beloved
princess. She is no different than Lyse and Miley. Don't think otherwise!"
A weak and gentle voice suddenly sounded while Lyla was crying.
"Don't cry, Mom..."
Everyone looked to where the source of the voice was. They saw Tatiana standing at the top of the
stairs, tear tracks still apparent on her cheeks. She was barefoot and draped in a quilt, quivering
slightly.
"Taty!" Lyla ran toward her daughter without a care in the world and hugged her tightly. "It's all my fault,
Taty... I'm so useless... I couldn't protect you..."
"I'm fine, Mom... it's okay..." Tatiana murmured in her mother's ear. Though she was the one who was
deeply scarred, she still had to help calm her mother down.
Alyssa's heart wrenched in pain at the sight. The path in life for a child who demonstrated early
maturity often proved more demanding.
If Tatiana was half as headstrong as Alyssa and maybe even acted out her own selfish desires for
once, would none of this have happened?
"Impossible! This is impossible! David would never do this!" Josh was outraged. He pointed angrily at
Alyssa and Jonah. "You two must've set my brother up! You played such a dirty trick because you
wanted to stop the arranged marriage between our families! Despicable!"
"Shut up, shitface!" It was Cyrus who snapped this time. "Things are already at this juncture, and you're
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstill lying without shame? Did you lie your way up to becoming CEO?"
Behind Cyrus stood Sean.
"Sean..." Tatiana's tears fell down her cheeks, yet she didn't dare cry out loud.
Sean gazed dearly at the woman he loved. He parted his lips, yet no sound came out of his mouth.
Tears of pain filled his eyes—so close, yet so far.
"Hmph! What do you think you're doing now, Mr. Taylor? Gathering all your family here just to ambush
us?" Josh snarled. "You may be the most powerful family here in Belbanks, but that doesn't mean we,
in Solana City, can be pushed around that easily.
"You've already pissed off the Harper family. Do you intend to sever ties with your only allies now? It
wouldn't be wise for you to stand in opposition to US in the business field!"
Alyssa's eyes burned with rage as her anger skyrocketed. Nevertheless, she was aware that a simple
verbal exchange wouldn't overcome Josh.
Alyssa quietly noted this grudge down. She swore to give Josh a living hell in the future.
