Jasper said, "Jameson isn''t going to hurt me so easily. If he did, that would just mean that I''m an


    incapable man. How would I be able to protect you and Winston, then?"


    Alyssa''s welled up with tears. "Jasper, Winston used to treat you like that... He humiliated you. He even


    beat you up. Yet, you''re still being so kind to him now. How are you able to do that? I wouldn''t be so


    forgiving if I were you."


    "Your father only punished me like that out of his love for you."


    Although Jasper had a smile on his face, deep down, he was feeling regretful. "Plus, I did deserve


    punishment like that. Not only that, I think that he was too lenient on me."


    "Jasper." Alyssa''s eyes became red.


    "Your father loves you very much. So, I have to protect him. I want you, my darling, to receive all the


    love in the world. I will do all I can to make you happy."


    To Jasper, his aim was topensate all that he owed her. He wouldpensate her tens of


    thousands of times more than that.


    Alyssa had tears in her eyes. She cupped his face in her hands. She kissed him intensely as if she


    wanted to consume him.


    They kissed deeper and deeper.


    The other day, Julien was forcefully brought back to Lovce Residence by Aidan.


    For three whole days, it was as if he was Aidan''s prisoner. His cell phone was confiscated. He was


    well- fed but wasn''t allowed to take a single step outside.


    "Aidan! What is the meaning of this? This is uwful imprisonment!"


    Julien could only watch as the bodyguards put up a grill door at the frame of his room door. It was as if


    he was being locked up in an animal cage.


    "Don''t hate me for this. Dad was the one who asked me to do this."


    Aidan stared at him coldly through the grill door. "Dad is still on his business trip overseas. He asks you


    to stay in your room obediently. Don''t you think of going anywhere else before hees back and


    teaches you a good lesson."


    "I want to return to Mosgravia! I have unfinished work! Let me out!" Julien red through his reddened


    eyes. He shook the grill door like a madman.


    "You''re not allowed to go out. Which part of this do you not understand?"


    Aidan glowered at him with a frustrated look on his face.


    "Stop putting on an act in front of me. You''ve got unfinished work to do? I think that you are the most


    useless,ziest, and unserious one out of the entire Lovce family. If I were to let you out now, you


    would simplytch onto the Taylor family!


    "Did you fall in love with Alyssa or something? I can''t believe that you stepped in to treat Winston!


    You''re essentially punching Grandpa and Dad in the face. Our aunt is Winston''s mistress. Do you think


    that this is something admirable? Are you itching to also be their son-inw?


    "Must every one of our family members go and fill in the gaps in the Taylor family? Have we got no


    pride?"


    The more Aidan spoke, the more agitated he got. He had just done a coldpress this morning. But


    his cheek was still swollen. This was all Alyssa''s handiwork! Hence, he directed all his hatred onto


    Julien.


    After all, he was the instigator. He was the one whotched onto the Taylor family. If he hadn''t done so,


    he wouldn''t have had to show up at their door to bring Julien back. Then, he wouldn''t have caused all


    this trouble for himself.


    Julien was an utter disgrace.


    Deep down, Julien was burning with anxiousness. Rage overflowed from his eyes.


    That being said, Aidan wasn''tpletely wrong.


    He stayed with the Taylors for the sake of the one he loved. However, he didn''t want to be their son-


    iw. What he wanted was to be their daughter-inw.


    If the Lovces found out about the truth, they wouldn''t just keep him locked up. They would probably


    kill him.


    "Aidan, I won''t go over to the Taylors'' again! I swear!"


    Julien figured that it wouldn''t work to respond in such a tough manner. So, he decided to take a


    different approach.


    He blinked and looked at Aidan with a gaze full of grievance. He put his hands together and pleaded,


    "Please, Aidan... Please let me out.

    "I wasn''t thinking straight. I pitied Aunt Mandy. So, I just lent a hand to Mr. Taylor on impulse. I was


    wrong. I won''t do it again! I beg you!"


    "You brat. I would rather believe that pigs can fly than believe your bullshit."


    Aidan was his brother. They grew up together, so he could clearly see through him. "You''ve sworn over


    many things since we were young. But they were always lies!


    "Stop protesting and stay there quietly!"
