With a loud crash, Julien’s back mmed heavily into the bookshelf. Books rained down on him.
One of them even hit him right on the head, making his ears ring from
the pain.
“Oof … Jonah! What are you doing?”
“I warned you, but you didn’t listen.”
When Jonah noticed that Julien was hurt, he felt a slight tug on his
heart. Yet he reverted to his cold expression immediately.
“It’s one thing that Alyssa asked you for a favor, Julien. But that doesn’t mean that you can do as you
please with me.
“Everything that happened that night ended there. If you behave. yourself, we can still be rtives. If
you insist on being this way, I don’t even know what I will do to you next time.”
Jonah was aware that he had never been a good-tempered person.
Out of all the Taylor siblings, he was potentially the most hostile one.
If this had been ten years ago and a man had been trying to get so close to him, he wouldn’t have
hesitated to break thetter’s limbs in
a few swift moves.
Julien clenched his fists tightly. He asked in a trembling voice, “Jonah.
So you’re going to just deny everything that you did to me that night?
“We embraced and k*ssed. And then? What else did we do?” Jonah
responded as he swiveled his leather chair toward Julien slowly.
He removed his sses and voiced out coldly but with restraint,
Lveryummy cheen. Autuny, you unul de men wur
everything that happened that night. If you hadn’t taken the initiative, nothing would’ve happened.”
“But you could have rejected me like you did just now. But you didn’t, Jonah!” Julien glowered at him
angrily, but he still looked stunning.
“Because of that, I know that you fancy me. You have feelings for me. too! Otherwise, based on your
personality, you wouldn’t have reciprocated even if I were to strip n*ked and throw myself at you!”
“I have done my research, Julien. You’ve got a very interesting track record with your rtionships over
at Mosgravia. I heard that the gaymunity in Mosgravia is within the palm of your hand. You have
slept with countless men.”
“Jonah…” Julien was appalled. He felt as if he had been stripped bare
in front of him.
“I have a question for you-did you have feelings for all those men you slept with?”
Julien felt as if his heart were being wrung.
Feelings?
When had he ever truly fancied anyone?
He was just a lonely individual who wanted somepany. All his one-night stands were his way of
getting through the long nights.

“I’m sure that you already have the answer in your heart.
Coincidentally, how I feel about you is exactly the same as the answer in your heart.”
Jonah’s gaze was frigid. He continued, “We are all grown-ups. Don’t be such a bad sport, Mr.
Lovce.”
A wave of unstoppable pain surged from the bottom of his heart. He
the door.
Following that, they heard Mandy’s voice, asking, “Jonah, Julien, are you both in there? Can Ie
in?”
Jonah steadied his breath, then walked to the door and opened it.
“Hi, Mandy,” he greeted. In an instant, his facial expression was reced with one of warmth as he
smiled.
“Are you both having a chat? I just heard some noises, like things falling in the study. Is everything
okay?” Mandy peered into the study and observed carefully.
“All’s fine, Mandy. Are you looking for me or Julien?” Jonah inquired without a change in his
expression.
“I’m mainly here for you.”
Mandy paused, then said in a low voice, “Winston and I will be attending a horse racing event in Sna
City next week. The event is rted to a big coboration project, so it’s very important.”
Then, she quickly added, “It isn’t a must for me to attend. I’ve also asked Winston to take L and
Colene along. However, Beckett Group will be attending, and I’m sure that Sophia will be there too.
“L definitely won’t be willing to go. As for Colene, she would be interested in the horse race itself, but
I’m afraid that the media will
start making up stories if all of us end up going.”
“I get you, Mandy. You don’t have to borate further. You’re the one. who apanied Dad to some
of these major events all these years.
“It’s because of your reliable and amiable personality. That’s why Dad can be at ease knowing that he
has you by his side.” Jonah shared in an understanding manner.

“Winston also mentioned that other than Beckett Group, people from Harper Group and Schmidt Group
will be there too,” Mandy said.
Jonah’s face turned glum. He answered, “Got it. I’ll ask Lyse to steer
clear.”
Mandy let out a troubled sigh. “I had that thought too, and I’ve told Winston the same. But he insists on
Lyse attending. Not going isn’t. an option. He said that he has something important to say then.”
“Something important?” Jonah raised his brows.
“I’ve tried probing, but he wouldn’t tell me.”
