Chapter 530
“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

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
always yielded
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 of how
he mistreated you in the past. Lyla and Colette would have remembered it, too. Isn’t he
the president of
the Beckett Group? Let him figure it out himself with the power he has!”

Mandy frowned. “What do you mean?”
Alyssa recounted her ordeal of getting into danger while saving someone at Crater

Mandy’s hand went cold as she heard about the harrowing experience. She scolded, “Lyse,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmif you were my
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
finger between
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 he could
have,” Alyssa teased.
After some persuasion, Alyssa finally convinced Mandy to help.
