    After a while, Mandy, L, and Colene nodded.


    “That exins it. It is already quite fortunate that Winston didn’t storm into the Beckett family or skin


    Jasper alive.”

    Before they could probe Alyssa further, rk hurried over and informed them, “Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Winston


    is back. He asked for you to go to his study.”


    “Got it.”


    Alyssa took a deep breath and prepared to leave. Behind her, Mandy, L, and Colene were worried


    that Winston would be difficult.


    So, the three of them also expressed their wish to follow along.


    In the study, Winston was drinking tea while sitting on the sofa His expression was glum.


    Whenever he met with Alyssa in the past, they were always jok around merrily with one another. The


    air around them was alwa lively and warm.


    It was extremely rare for them to have so much tension.


    “I wanted to speak with Lyse in private. What are all of you taggin along for?”


    Winston gave a displeased, side-eyed nce at his wives. Het forcefully set his cup down on the table


    with a resounding thud.


    “She is already an adult of good standing. Do you think that I would still spank her like I did when she


    was young? Even if I were to hit anyone, I should first beat up that bastard from the Beckett family!”


    Upon hearing that, Alyssa’s beautiful face turned glum in an instant.


    “Winston.”


    Mandy was afraid that Alyssa would get a lecture from Winston. So, she stepped up anxiously to speak


    for her.


    “It is true that Mr. Jasper did some absurd things in the past. However, he has already repented. He’s


    used his life to protect Lyse multiple times. He truly cherishes her.”


    “Used his life? What do you mean? Was Lyse in some kind of danger? “Winston leaned forward


    abruptly when Mandy’s words caught his attention.


    “Lyse, she…”


    Alyssa immediately interrupted, “I’m fine. What could have happened to me? Mandy was


    exaggerating.”


    It wasn’t that she didn’t want Winston to know about how well Jasper had been treating her and how


    much he doted on her.


    Instead, she was more afraid that Winston would be unable to take the news. She would indeed be


    guilt-ridden for the rest of her life if he fell ill from being panic-stricken.


    She had already lost Jennifer. She couldn’t bear to lose Winston, too.


    Furthermore, she understood the entire family well. Out of all his children, Winston still loved her the


    most.


    Winston leaned back on the sofa slowly. He red at her with a gaze. that was as sharp as an eagle’s.


    “I am indifferent to whether Jasper has cast a spell on you or ensnared you with his cunning tactics,


    Alyssa! As long as I breathe, it matters not if he bestows the entire Beckett Group upon you or offers


    his entire career as his bride-dowry. I am not going to approve of you


    “Even if he gives up his worthless life, it is still not enough to make up for all the hurt that he’d caused


    you. You wasted three years of your youth for him!”


    Winston’s anger fueled some of his exaggerated statements.


    However, within the Taylor family, it was widely understood that Alyssa held a ce of unparalleled


    importance in his life-she was his everything.


    When Alyssa just started going to elementary school, she was already as pretty as a doll. Because of


    her cute look, many boys fancied her. As a result, she became the envy of many girls.


    At that time, Alyssa had a spoiled brat as her ssmate. She didn’t like Alyssa and began to alienate


    her.


    Although she didn’t harm her physically, she still tormented her in many ways secretly-tearing up her


    homework, stealing her hair clips, and filling her bottle with dirty water.


    Thankfully, the young Alyssa was kind and smart. She saw through a those tricks with much ease and


    avoided all of them. She didn’t hold any grudges either.


    She didn’t want Winston to worry, so she never spoke about what happened at school. She was mature


    for her age.


    One particr day, her ssmate, seated behind her in ss, maliciously cut off her long braid, a


    cherished length she had been nurturing for quite some time.


    Alyssa returned home with her hair in disarray, and it was at that moment Winston discovered the


    prolonged bullying she had been facing at school.


    On that day, Winston, a formidable figure in the business world,
