Alyssa couldn''t fathom Winston''s tolerance toward Dominic''s offense.


    "Winston, the fault was mine. I''ll ensure the same mistake isn''t repeated. Please rest well. I won''t


    bother you any longer."


    Having been reassured by Winston, Dominic prepared to leave with a satisfied smile.


    "Winston, I''ll see Dominic off," Mandy spoke gently.


    Dominic exited the ward with a smug grin.


    Not long after, Mandy''s voice cut through the silence. "Stay where you are."


    Dominic pivoted on his heels, only to find Mandy closing in on him with a frigid demeanor. In an instant,


    her hand shot forward, delivering a sharp p across his face before he could react.


    "W-Why did you hit me?" Dominic''s eyes widened, his cheek stinging and a red mark forming.


    "You know perfectly well why," Mandy retorted, her demeanor stern and intimidating. Gone was the


    gentle and kind woman from earlier.


    She continued, "I''ve waited far too long to deliver this blow. When Winston ended up in the hospital


    because of you, I should have struck you down then and there, tearing your mouth apart!"


    There was nobody else around to witness the confrontation. Dominic abandoned his facade, meeting


    Mandy''s gaze with a scornful and malicious sneer. "Haha, who do you think you are? Are you under the


    delusion that you''re Winston''s real wife?


    "You shamelessly clung to my brother, just like the other two. All of you are merely his ythings for


    when he grows bored. Now, you''re simply filling in for my deceased sister-inw.


    "You should be grateful that she passed away early, affording you this opportunity to bask in the


    spotlight. Otherwise, do you think you''d be who you are today? In days of old, you''d be no more than a


    mere concubine."


    Mandy''s eyes filled with rage. It wasn''t Dominic''s humiliation that triggered her, but his contemptuous


    and disrespectful mention of Jennifer. "You bastard!"


    With fury coursing through her veins, Mandy raised her hand, but Dominic reacted swiftly, seizing her


    wrist and pushing her forcefully, nearly causing her to stumble.


    "Hmph! You''ve overestimated yourself. Do you truly believe you hold any power here just because I''ve


    allowed you to linger out of respect for my brother?" Dominic spat out, rubbing his face before storming


    off, leaving Mandy standing in shock with her reddened wrist.


    "Mandy!"


    Alyssa and Jasper, their concern evident, hurried after Mandy. They witnessed the entire altercation


    unfold before them.


    "Madam Mandy, how could he treat you like that?" Jasper''s eyes aze with anger, his body tense with


    indignation.

    Mandy offered a wry smile and shook her head, trying to downy the situation.


    But Jasper''s fists clenched, his resolve evident. "I''ll find him and make him pay for this!"


    "Don''t, son!" Mandy interjected, grabbing Jasper''s arm. "This isn''t your fight. You have a reputation as


    the president of the Beckett Group to uphold. It''s not worth tarnishing it over a petty man like him."


    This time, she addressed him not as "Mr. Beckett" but as "son".
