It was deep into the autumn season at Sna City. The autumn breeze was chilling to the bone.


    Jonah hadn''t been home in three whole days. He stayed at church the whole time. He prayed and


    repented in front of God.


    What was he repenting about?


    He used to work for an underground mafia.


    Was he repenting for the sins he''dmitted back then, as he usually would? Or was he repenting for


    sumbing to temptation and falling in love with someone he shouldn''t be in love with?


    On the fourth day, it was as if Jonah was having an out-of-body experience. He felt an invisible pull that


    led him all the way to the Lovce Residence before he even realized it.


    He knew that Julien had been based in Mosgravia since he was young. He had no other properties in


    the country. Hence, there was nowhere else he could go apart from this house.


    He was deeply concerned. He tried to hold back his concerns for three days. However, he still ended


    up here.


    Jonah was well aware of his position. He knew that he could only wait here helplessly.


    All of a sudden, he found himself empathizing with Jasper. Back then, Jasper couldn''t care less about


    the winds or the storm. He insisted on waiting at the door of Heightsnew Vi just to get a glimpse of


    Alyssa. Jonah now understood how dested Jasper must have felt.


    It was as if his stomach was overproducing stomach acids. He felt the acid rising in his throat, leaving a


    bitter taste in his mouth.


    At that moment, an entourage of luxury cars drove toward the residence. The cars streamed in with


    ss. They stopped at the entrance to the Lovce Residence.


    A driver and a secretary escorted a middle-aged man from the car. The man was dressed smartly in a


    suit. He was tall and well-built.


    Jonah frowned. He recognized that this man was the person in charge of Lovce Pharmaceuticals.


    He was Mandy''s older brother, Joseph Lovce.


    "Dad! Wee back!" Aidan hurried out of the house to wee Joseph. He greeted him politely.


    Joseph nodded slightly to acknowledge Aidan''s greeting. His face was glum. "Where''s Julien?"


    "I''ve locked him up as per your instructions. He''s in his room."


    Aidan took the opportunity to diss Julien. He wanted to let out his pent-up frustrations. "Dad, Julien


    went overboard this time. He disregarded our family''s principles. Not only that, he''s also gotten so


    close


    to the Taylors.


    "If word about this were to get out, our long-time perseverance would just be a joke to others.


    People will call us hypocritical prudes.


    "On the surface, we''ve drawn the line with the Taylor family, as if we are a highly moral family. However,


    in reality, we are secretly trying to please them. They''ll say that we''re hypocrites!"


    Without warning, Joseph stopped. He smirked. "Let''s see who will be doing the pleasing moving


    forward."


    "You''re right. I heard that Winston is quite ill this time. He almost lost his life. That''s why Aunt Mandy


    ended up panicking and asking for our help.


    "Based on my observation, Winston doesn''t have long to live. KS Group will definitely go downhill once


    he''s gone. I''d like to see if they''d still be as arrogant when that timees!" Aidan eximed through


    clenched teeth.


    Joseph looked at him doubtfully. "I''ve never noticed you having so much hatred for the Taylors before


    this. What happened when you went to bring Julien back? Did you get the short end of the stick?"

    Aidan''s heart skipped a beat. He broke out in a cold sweat. "I didn''t! They wouldn''t have the guts to


    touch us!"


    Just as they were about to enter the house, Aidan suddenly felt a chill behind his back. Naturally, he


    turned back to take a look.


    "What is it?" Joseph asked.


    Aidan shuddered. "Dad, there''s a priest who isn''t dressed like a priest. He seems to be staring in our


    direction. That''s quite terrifying to see at this hour."


    It waste into the night. So, he hadn''t managed to get a good look at Jonah''s face.


    Joseph looked back and furrowed his brows. He didn''t see anyone on the street across from them.


    Aidan looked shocked. "Oh? Where did he go? He was right there."


    "Aidan, I can see that you''ve been tired recently. Do make sure you rest well," Joseph said as he


    stepped into the house.


    Aidan was at a loss for words.
