Mandy was prepared to take the bullet for everyone else as long as L and Colene were not


    implicated


    “Why didn’t you tell me? You should have known better than my daughter! Don’t you feel bad


    watching her living in hell?” Winston was taking out his anger on Mandy.


    “Winston, it’s all my fault.” Mandy slowly rose from her seat. She couldn’t be more humble as the


    proud daughter of the Lovce Family. “Don’t me it on Lyse. Fault me instead. I did not pay


    enough attention to her.”


    Alyssa felt her chest tightened. She was about to defend Mandy when the hot–tempered Colene


    shot up from the couch and blurted out, “Don’t me it on Mandy! I’m responsible too! I knew


    about Lyse’s marriage from the start!”


    “What?” Winston’s eyes popped out of his head.


    “M–Me too…” L meekly raised her hand. “I knew about it… way before this.”


    “L, even you are involved… They are a bad influence on you!” His head was spinning when he


    learned that the innocent L had learned to lie.


    Tears filled Alyssa’s eyes. She knew it would be hard for Winston to go off at her alone when he


    learned about the collective betrayal.


    “Dad, please don’t be mad. Mandy, L, and Colene did so in your best interest. You’ll be more at ease


    if you know less,” Ss quickly jumped in to broker peace. He promptly sent Winston a cup of


    tea to suck up to him.


    “Screw you, jackass!”

    Winston might be a gentleman, but he could curse like a sailor. His booming voice almost shook


    the entire house.


    “Wait, no… Did the both of you..

    Jonah and Ss exchanged nces and coughed in embarrassment.


    Winston was irate to learn that he was kept in the dark, thanks to the excellent acting skills of his


    family.


    +15 BONOS


    As a shrewd businessman who had yed many others, he was shocked to learn that his family


    had yed him. He let out a deafening roar and stormed up to the second floor without looking


    back.


    “W–Winston, aren’t you eating?” L hurriedly asked, but he did not answer.


    “L, why don’t you talk to himter? You’re soft and mild. He only listens to you.” Mandy let out a


    helpless sigh.


    “I–I’m scared. I’ll keep some food for him and send them to his room.” L faltered, knowing that


    the situation was abnormally grave.


    “When he’s in a bad mood, he always hangs out in his antique vault… Oh crap! He must have


    found out!” Colene was sweating profusely.


    Immediately, they heard Winston’s desperate scream from upstairs. “C–Call the police! Now! My


    one–million antique rosewood chair has gone missing!”


    The dinner ended badly. If not for everyone’s collective effort to hold back Winston from doing


    anything absurd, Alyssa believed that he would have driven to Sna City overnight just to


    demand Newton to return the chair.


    Winston had be more of an oddball as he aged. Moreover, he needed to be shameless to get


    what he wanted as an antique collector. As a result, he became increasingly brazen and hot-


    tempered in recent years.


    Right now, Alyssa bet that no woman would fall for him, even if he paid them.


    At night, Alyssa had a heart–to–heart talk with Tatiana. Not only that, they did everything together, from


    taking baths, drying their hair, and applying skincare. In the end, they were rolling


    around in bed and tickling each other.


    “By the way, do you like my birthday gift for you?” Tatianay chest down on the bed, resting her


    cheeks in her palms.


    “I loved it! I got it framed and hung it in my study at my Sna City vi. Sean was there when I put it


    on the wall. At first, he thought it was a 3D–printed photo because it was so lifelike! You know he’s


    stingy with hispliments, but he showered you with praises that day!”


    Alyssa looked at Tatiana affectionately and ced Tatiana’s soft hand in hers. “Taty, your hands
