    Tatiana stuttered, “Y–Yes!”


    “I’ll go to your performance with Ms. Alyssa.” Sean beamed at Tatiana like a big brother. He was


    close to Alyssa and Tatiana because he watched them grow up.


    He even recalled how the young Tatiana, around six or seven years old, always followed Alyssa


    around with snot on her face, sucking on a lollipop.


    Alyssa did not notice the blush on Tatiana’s cheeks because thetter was easily embarrassed.


    Little did she know that Tatiana had a crush on Sean for seven years.


    “Let’s go. I’m famished. I’ve been missing L’s cooking for days! Time to eat!” She held Tatiana’s


    hand and traversed the vi.


    “Mom’s still in the kitchen. Dinner is not ready yet because you’re back early.” Tatiana swung


    Alyssa’s arm, just like she had done since she was young.


    “Oh! I’m hungry, though.” Alyssa’s stomach was growling from hunger.


    “How about some snacks?” Sean smiled and unwrapped a chocte bar he fished from his jacket


    pocket. Then, he attentively fed it to her.


    She turned around and took a bite, as usual, without thinking.


    Tatiana felt bitter at their intimacy. From a young age, she was aware that Sean had been


    crushing on Alyssa.


    Sean even gave up the opportunity to take over his father’sw firm and the chance to be a prosecutor


    like Ss. He’d rather give up on career progression for a secretary role to stay by


    Alyssa.


    Tatiana knew that Sean would never look at her.


    The family was in high spirits at night because of Alyssa’s sessful divorce and Tatiana’s visit from


    Sna City. The vi was filled with merriment.


    The maids were beaming, for they had not seen the siblings having fun with each other for a long


    time.


    The reunion would have been perfect had Miley joined them–it’d be nice to see the three sisters

    Shields, as he was busy with his presidential campaign.


    L and the maidsid the feast. The dishes looked and smelled appetizing. Too bad Alyssa was


    unable to dig in right away as Winston had gathered everyone in the living room for ast–minute


    family meeting


    Jonah, Ss, Tatiana, Colene, and L were in the living room. Winston was seated in the middle


    of the couch with a stern and unforgiving look, typical of the leader of the Taylor Group.


    “Dad, can’t we talk after the meal? We’re hungry.” Alyssa swallowed hard as she savored the


    smells that wafted from the dining hall.


    “How could you think about eating after what you’ve done?” Winston smirked.


    “What? The divorce is good news! I should celebrate it with a feast!” Alyssa smiled brightly. The other


    family members did not respond. Only Tatiana, who was kept in the dark, widened her eyes in shock


    and inhaled sharply

    She was taken aback by the news about Alyssa’s marriage and recent divorce. Alyssa had always


    been pragmatic and businesslike. Did she opt to marry for love? That was very unlike Alyssa, who


    was never blinded by love.


    “You left home for three years only to marry a random man. In the end, you lost your marriage and did


    not get a single cent from the divorce! Plus, that jerk from the Beckett family is set to marry a


    new wife right away.


    “I can’t tolerate their treatment of my daughter. How could you allow them to bully you? You should


    have bankrupted them beforeing home.”


    Winston had lost sleep out of anger. The more he thought over the divorce, the more he fumed. If he


    could, he would travel to the office of the Beckett Group in Sna City and p Jasper Beckett


    in the face!


    “Winston, is there any way we can let this go?” She sighed, suddenly losing her appetite. “The Beckett


    Group has expanded under Grandpa’s leadership. I can’t possibly ruin his legacy. Your daughter is not


    a heartless woman.”


    “I’d rather you be a heartless woman! You are my proud and heartless daughter. I’d rather clean up


    after your mess than see you bullied for three years by another family!” Winston bellowed, his veins


    popping and his eyes turning red.

    His outburst came as a shock to everyone. Jonah looked at his feet with pursed lips while Ss


    shot a worried look at Alyssa.


    Alyssa lowered her gaze. Hershes were fluttering as she fought back tears.


    She knew how much Winston doted on her. That was precisely why she had kept her marriage to


    Jasper a secret from Winston. However, her n seemed to have backfired.


    “Mandy, I heard from the Becketts that you met with Lyse. Did you know about her marriage with that


    Beckett guy all along?” Winston directed his charged question at Mandy.


    “Yes, I did.” Mandy stared at the ground and answered honestly.
