Jasper's entire body buzzed with energy, but he now felt even more upset for Mandy. "Mandy, you're Lyse's family, which makes you my family as well. | can disregard my reputation, but | cannot bear to see you suffering so!" Jasper's heartfelt words made tears flood Alyssa's eyes. She hugged him tightly, her heart feeling so warm inside.
Mandy was choked up with emotion. She did her best to smile and said, "Thank you." "Don't worry, Mandy. | won't let you suffer in silence." Alyssa's eyes glinted as she spoke, "If | don't teach Dominic a lesson after this... I'll change my last nto his!" Jasper looked at Alyssa curiously. She must've gone silly with anger. If she changed her last nto Dominic's, she'd still be a Taylor.

He nearly relapsed because of the commotion earlier, so it's best you don't take any rash action these days so as to not upset your father. You can discuss things with him once he's all better." "I really don't understand what Winston is trying to do, Mandy!" Alyssa exclaimed angrily. "He's clearly tolerating Dominic's vile behavior! He was never so blind in the past! "Is Winston going to allow Dominic to take all the company's profits like sleech all because he is his own brother? Blind loyalty is as good as supporting injustice!" "Winston is not foolish. He's only doing this because of your mother!" Mandy said hurriedly, not able to stand Alyssa's misunderstanding toward Winston, who loved her deeply.
"My mother. What about my mother? What does she have to do with Dominic?" Alyssa demanded, grabbing Mandy's arm.
Mandy's lips pulled tight. [x] Alyssa was still a young child when Jennifer passed away, and with Winston intentionally keeping certain things about Jennifer from everyone, Alyssa knew very little about her own mother.
So, to Alyssa, her own mother was a beautiful mystery.
Now that she'd finally found a chance to know more about Jennifer, she was definitely going to pursue. it! "Tell me, Mandy!" Alyssa was incredibly panicked. "Why. Why don't | have the right to learn about my own mother? Don't you think that's too cruel a fate to inflict on me?" "Dominic Taylor saved your mother's life." Both Jasper and Alyssa were stunned. "What? "There's no need to be so surprised. That's the truth of the matter. You could say it's fated to be." Mandy slowly walked over to a nearby chair and sat down, reminiscing about the past.
"What | know is limited as well, although it's more than what Colene and Lyla know since | spent more twith him earlier. As far as | know, your mother was a foreigner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I knew not where she was from. Winston cherished and protected her greatly. Her background and identity is perhaps the Taylor family's greatest mystery." "Mom was a foreigner?" Alyssa was stunned. So was Jasper.
But neither Alyssa nor her four brothers appeared to be of mixed blood, which meant Jennifer must still share slocal blood.
"Dominic had a deep-sea fishing hobby. He saved your mother 30 years ago while out at the Northurian Sea," Mandy said, sighing softly. "I don't know how exactly he did this. All | know is that your mother was found battered and bruised on shore, clothes torn, and barely breathing... like a beached mermaid.
"Regardless of whether Dominic decided to save her on a whim or he did it out of lust, he was the one who brought her back hto Belbanks. It was because of Dominic's act of saving Jennifer which led to her meeting Winston. Only then were you and your brothers born."
