Alyssa, seated in another room, repeatedly scrolled through the malicious comments online. Heartbroken and tearing up, she nearly crushed the phone screen. Silas and Liam kept her company, not knowing what to do except to exchange looks because they'd never cacross such a situation.

He sighed, feeling sorry for Jonah.
"Sure, the gossip will eventually die down, but Jonah and Julien will be scarred forever." Alyssa closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to calm herself. "Jonah is the president of KS Group. We might own the company, but Jonah's reputation and public image have taken a huge hit.
"This is what the mastermind wishes to see—to tarnish Jonah's reputation so that he couldn't face the public.
"Julien isn't a public figure, but the Lovelace family is difficult. Now that they've heard about the scandal, I'm afraid Julien can't go back to them." The thought of it upset her to no end. After hanging out with Julien for a while and going through ups and downs together, she had already considered him family.
Upon learning that Julien had suffered beatings by the Lovelace family, Alyssa felt an overwhelming urge to retaliate on his behalf. She nearly stormed to their residence.

Liam immediately knelt beside her upon seeing the tears in her eyes. Holding her hand tenderly, he peered into her eyes. "Lyse, don't worry.

Liam chuckled. "I always wondered who Jonah would end up with, given how perfect and arrogant he was. Now, | realize that Julien is his perfect match." Alyssa fell into a daze, recalling how Jonah and Julien always stayed by each other's side—how Julian had always tried to fulfill all of Jonah's requests to the best of his ability and the way they lovingly looked at each other like they'd found the universe in the others' eyes.

"Liam was right. We should celebrate Jonah finding himself a partner." Silas grinned cheerfully after shedding the gloom from before. "Hehe! One of the Taylor sons finally started dating. Jonah is a role model to us all." Liam replied, "Silas, you should follow suit, then. You're not any younger." "Damn it! Look, we were born a few minutes apart. You should look in the mirror. You hang out with guys all day, with no women in sight. I'm worried you might end up forever alone." Hearing that, Liam joked in an unbothered fashion, "Whatever. If | can't find a lady, I'll pick a goodlooking man from the guys around me." That prompted Alyssa and Silas to glare at him. "No. You'd better not!" At that moment, they heard a dull knock on the door. Silas answered the door and looked flustered. "J- Julien?" Alyssa shot up from the couch when she learned that Julien had arrived.
