Chapter 1082


    Alyssa casually took a sip of water and suggested, “Why don’t you attend the horse racing event with


    L?”


    Caught by surprise, Winston had not anticipated the request from his daughter. L immediately


    exined as she blushed in nervousness,” L-Lyse, I turn down these social events because they give


    me the jitters. I’m not good at small talk and might make blunders. It might be better if Mandy attends.


    Colene could be an excellent choice as well.”


    Alyssa poked through the lie, “But you seemed quite happy when your attended mass. It was crowded


    there, too.”


    “I …” L pressed her lips until they paled.


    “Winston, bring L with you. I can’t possibly attend the race with your every single year. The media


    will make an issue out of it again,” Mandy advised after seemingly catching onto Alyssa’s n.


    Winston furrowed his brows and looked at L deeply. He inquired in a hushed voice, “L, are you


    upset?”


    L shook her head vehemently.


    He gently took her trembling hands under the table and sped them. “You have always refused to


    attend public events. I never insisted on it because I thought you disliked socializing. I didn’t want to


    burden you. Just tell me what’s on your mind. I’ll try my best to fulfill your wishes.”


    “Winston, I have nothing in mind,” L replied, tears brimming in her eves eyes.


    Winston felt sorry for L’s helpless response. He thought he had traumatized by what happened


    decades ago.


    All the while, she had pretended to be fine to spare him the worry.

    Finally, Winston decided to attend the horse racing event with L. For that, he instructed Neil to


    prepare a suitable outfit for her over the night.


    Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly ording to Alyssa’s n.


    “Lyse!”


    After everyone left the dinner table, L ran after Alyssa. After some hesitation, she asked meekly,


    “Why… Why do you want me to attend. the horse race this year?”


    “L, you can’t hide away forever like an invisible figure. That is utterly cruel and unfair to you. You


    used to be this lovely and dazzling beauty. Have you forgotten how the media hailed you as the n s


    bombshell?” Alyssa remarked, fixing her gaze on L.


    She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of bitterness for L, who ha enjoyed great fame as a beautiful


    actress only to be reduced to a humble housewife.


    To L, Winston was her savior, and she appreciated the Taylor family for epting her as one of their


    own. As a result, she willingly sacrificed for the family without a word ofint.


    L managed a wry smile. “That was in the past. My boss had crafted my image. I never thought I was


    better than anyone else. All I could do was sing and act. I was no different than any employee at work.”


    “Regardless of the past, you shouldn’t be haunted by it. It’s time to be a good role model for her!”


    L was touched by Alyssa’s advice. At the thought of Tatiana, L experienced a newfound strength


    in her body, which lifted her mood.


    She smiled with guilt. “That’s right. I’ve been too weak. As a mother, I need to be strong.”


    Alyssa took her hand and chuckled by her ear. “There’s more toe. Just look forward to a special


    gift from me on that day.”


    Meanwhile, Jasper discreetly positioned his men in Sna City to monitor the movements of the maid


    who was responsible for Anne’s death.
