"Aunt Mandy, I..." "Julien, your dad and brother might turn a blind eye to your life abroad, and | have no say in your decision after marrying into the Taylor family." Frowning, Mandy hissed in a low and stern voice, "But Jonah is the pillar of the Taylor family. Your Uncle Winston has high hopes for his eldest. You cannot lay a finger on Jonah!"

Mandy continued, "I can read your mind from your actions. To be honest, | could tell you were interested in Jonah from the start, but | quietly observed because | wasn't 100 percent sure.
"| finally confirmed my guess after getting my hands on the photos and watching your interaction with him today.
My fear finally ctrue.
"Julien, Jonah is different from the guys you had a fling with. You cannot put a claim on Jonah. The Taylor family will be done for if you do anything to Jonah, and Uncle Winston will die of anger if he learns about it!" "Why does he have to learn about this? You can keep the truth from him!" Julien lost control of his temper and growled furiously.
Stunned, Mandy gasped, "W-What did you just say?" "Jonah. Jonah likes me, and | feel the sabout him." x i tightened his fist. Tearing up, he suddenly broke into a smile. "No. In fact, I love him.

To protect her family, she would kill off any budding threat, including the forbidden love between Jonah and Julien.

He's just bad at expressing his love!" "Is that so? From what | know, he's not a reserved man who is no-nonsense. He's just tolerating you because you're a distant relative. It's hard for him to turn you down." She leaned backward with a chilling smirk.
Mandy added, "Even if he has momentarily fallen for you, that doesn't mean anything at all. You can give up your career for him, but he cannot do the sfor you and put KS Group in a PR crisis.
"Besides, Jonah is a devout Christian. He would beca priest if he weren't a company president. Are you trying to drive him away from God and send him to hell by seducing him? If you truly love him, do not ruin his life." Julien felt cold from head to toe. Pain crashed through his body. His heart bled.
"You and Jonah are impossible. You're an adult, and this is not your first relationship. You should face the reality." Looking cold, Mandy dealt a final blow to Julien. "Do your dad and brother know you're living at Heightsnew Villa and making all these sacrifices for the Taylor family? "I will tell them the truth if you refuse to listen to me. You know that the Lovelaces hate having anything to do with the Taylors. You know what will happen if they learn about this." Julien emerged from Mandy's room, looking spent and soulless. Breathing heavily, he leaned limply against the wall to regain senergy. Then, he began inching forward slowly.
Behind Julien, Jonah stood at the turn of the staircase and hid in the shadows. He watched Julien's slender and vulnerable figure moving away.
Eyes half-closed, Jonah suppressed his feelings and clenched his fist.
