Chapter 143
Axel was in the backyard, walking straight toward his Lamborghini without so much as
looking back.
“Axel Alyssa cried, running up to him, “Where are you going?”
“As far away from this place as possible, obviously. Hopefully, I never have to come back.”
When Axel turned to look at her, she could see that his cheek had turned alarmingly red
where their father had hit him.
“You always said you cared the most about our brothers and me. So if this is our home,
then it’s your home too. How could you just never come back again?” Alyssa asked,
holding onto her brother’s hand. Her heart hurt so deeply.
Axel gazed at his beloved sister, then gently cupped her cheek. “Of course, I love you
guys. I’ll love you guys wherever I go. But this isn’t home anymore. I’ve fulfilled my
promise to you, Lyse. You wouldn’t still be upset with me because of it, right?”
Alyssa nodded slowly, suddenly feeling like crying.
“If you want to show respect and love for Winston, then I suggest you never make me
appear before him ever again. I have to go now. Duty Calls. I’ll come to visit you soon.”

I’ve included several new poultices and medicines we developed recently to treat both
internal and external injuries. I hope they can be of use to you.
“There are also some baked goods and snacks that Lyla has prepared. She’s worried your
trip might take long, so she has made these to
help lide your meals over.”
Mandy then looked down at her feet, a gentle smile on her face. “We hope these will be of
use to you, Axel.”
Axel blinked, then replied in a kind tone. “Thank you. I’m pretty stocked up, really. But I
appreciate the gesture. I’ll be off now.”
With that, Axel hugged Alyssa for a couple more seconds before he left.
Minutes later, his Lamborghini disappeared beyond the neighborhood.
Alyssa and Mandy were left standing in the courtyard. Both women heaved a sigh.
“Let him be, Mandy,” Alyssa consoled the older woman. “Axel’s improved a lot. He’s still a
wild child. We have to give him more time before he can find his footing here.”
“I know he feels sorry for me,” said Mandy, dipping her head sadly. “He doesn’t need to,
really. I’ve moved on from it. I’m okay now.”
Alyssa’s throat tightened, not knowing what to say.
Two years ago, tragedy struck the Taylor family.
Mandy’s eldest son and Alyssa’s half–brother, Damien Taylor, Captain of Solana Airways,
had sacrificed himself to save the crew and passengers aboard his flight.
A hardware malfunction had occurred. He decided to crash the plane into the ocean. Many
lives were saved that day, but not Damien’s. His passing occurred on what should have
been his 27th birthday. 1
One could persist in their grudges against Mandy and Winston when it came to their
complex relations, but the fact that Mandy had raised such a brave and noble son
remained undisputed until today.
The Maybach was on its way back to Solana City. Xavier remained a steady hand on the
wheel, peeking now and then at the rearview
mirror to gauge Jasper’s expression.
Jasper’s lace was solemn, his cheeks and lips pale, as if he were sick.

Bat what happened instead?
His carefully maintained pride had shattered into a million pieces and been sent flying in
the wind.
Xavier was just as upset after seeing his boss being humiliated. “If you want Madam to
return with you, you could tell the Taytor family that your divorce hasn’t been legalized
yet, and she’s still your lawfully wedded wife.

So you’re saying I’m only capable of getting things done by deception? Jasper asked
sternly. “No! Of course not sit
