Aidan stopped dead in his tracks. The annoyed look crept up his face once more.


    Alyssa freed herself from Jasper''s grip and stormed up to Aidan. In the next moment, she raised her


    hand in the air and pped Aidan across his face twice with all her strength.


    Everyone''s jaw dropped to the ground. Even Jasper and Aidan were caught off guard by her actions.


    Aidan finally processed the p when he felt the burning sensation on his cheek, the ringing in his ear,


    and the blood trickling down from his lips.


    "Alyssa Taylor!" Humiliated and furious, Aidan pressed a hand against his cheek. He gritted his teeth,


    looking as if he was about to go off at her.


    Seeing that, Jasper hurried over and pulled Alyssa into a protective hug. He shot a threatening nce


    at Aidan, sessfully intimidating thetter.


    Aidan''s heart skipped a beat under Jasper''s re. For a moment, he forgot about the pain on his


    cheek.


    "The first p was for Julien. I don''t care about the state of your rtionship with him. He''s first and


    foremost a brother and a friend to me. pping him is no different than pping me.


    "If you think you could cause a scene at our home and walk away freely, you''re wrong. As your host, it''s


    only fair that I treat you to two ps on the face." Her authoritative voice boomed in the living room.


    "Wow! Lyse is so sassy! I love it!" Colene nearly yelped in excitement. If no one in the family had taught


    Aidan a lesson, she would have gotten Nathan to serve Aidan excrement as a warning.


    "Lyse..." Feeling touched, Julien teared up.


    He found it ironic that it was the Taylors instead of the Lovces who had offered him the love and


    support of family he had never experienced during his stay at Heightsnew Vi. Thanks to them, his


    once cold and distant heart had thawed.


    "The second p was for Mandy." Alyssa was incensed when she thought of the suffering Mandy went


    through for her. She so wanted to hit Aidan in the head. "I don''t give a damn about your shitty family


    rules. You''re on our turf now, and Mandy is my family. How dare you humiliate her in front of us


    Taylors?


    "Consider yourself lucky today. A p in the face is the lightest punishment for you. If you act like a


    little bitch again, I''ll p you every time I run into you!"


    Jasper admired Alyssa for the way she defended her family. He was a little worried that her hand would


    be in pain from pping Aidan, though.

    "Y-You—" Aidan, a highly-educated business elite, had never been affronted in such a manner, but he


    could not bring himself to cuss at Alyssa.


    In the end, he pointed a finger at her pretty face and hissed in a trembling voice, "How dare you p


    me after what our family has done to help you? You''re an ingrate! You Taylors are bullies! Every one of


    you!"


    "An ingrate?" The look in Jasper''s eyes hardened. He spoke up for Alyssa, "Just like you mentioned,


    Mandy was the one who secured the medicine for Lyse. Hence, Lyse is only indebted to her. If


    anything, Lyse owes your grandpa a favor. What has she owed you?"


    Ashen-faced, Aidan looked like he was about to explode.


    Alyssa chimed in frostily, "Since you imed that I received a favor from the Lovces, how about I get


    my uterus removed? There''s no point keeping it anyway since I don''t want kids. If my uterus is what


    you want, I''ll get it removed. You can have it."


    "Crazy bitch!" Aidan, knowing that he was no match for Alyssa in arguments or physical fights,


    scrambled out of Heightsnew Vi, face reddened and tail between his legs.
