Cyrus advised Silas, "Jonah has been protecting us forever. He cares for everyone in the family and never once
complains about the suffering he has been through.
"He doesn't owe us anything. All he does is in the family's best interest. | know you're worried, but that was out
of line. How disappointing!"
Taken aback, Silas realized the harshness of his remark. Gritting his teeth, he turned away.
Jasper felt uneasy to witness the Taylor siblings’ fallout. Their relationship was what he had always hoped for.
Hence, he wished they could remain close and friendly to uphold his ideals.
"Someone... leaked your dad's condition at the company meeting on the internet." Eyes red from crying, Mandy
said, "The entire nation probably heard about it by now.

"Even Miley and Jeremy got the update in Kontina. They've just boarded a flight back to Belbanks and will be
here in five hours. They'll be by Winston's side in no time."
Alyssa felt her blood turn cold. She quickly logged into Twitter on her phone. The top trending topic was indeed
about Winston.
The video that went viral online showed Winston losing control of himself in a relapse, something that he would
loathe to let anyone know. Alyssa was furious when she read the disgusting comments under the video left by
despicable netizens who insulted and mocked her father.
At that time, a reassuring hand covered her eyes, shielding her from whatever was displayed on the phone
screen. Staring up with teary eyes, she met Jasper's concerned gaze, which proved to be a huge source of
encouragement.
He reminded her, "Lyse, don't take those ridiculous online comments to heart. They might be written by bots
purchased by the mastermind, aiming to fluster you and make you lose your footing. You'll walk into their trap if
you are emotionally affected." Then, he gently placed an arm around her waist.
Pouting, she immediately snuggled against his arms.
Although it was not the right occasion to be envious of the couple, the Taylor brothers could not help but turn
green in envy. In the past, Alyssa would only go to them for comfort, but now, Jasper had taken their place,
rendering them useless.
"Lyse, don't panic." He caressed her back, gently comforting her. "Public opinion might be stressinducing, but as
long as we put on a united front, no one can bring us down.
"Besides, your brothers are all here for you and Winston. He'll be happy to see this when he's released from the
treatment room. That will help with his recovery too."

She nodded and wiped away her tears with his tie. Jasper smiled dotingly at her, unbothered by her actions.
Tears welled up in Liam's eyes as he silently observed the couple's interaction and replayed Jasper's remark.
Suddenly, he gained a newfound fondness for Jasper, whom he had previously hated.
"Jonah, we need to reach out to the IT Department of KS Group to immediately monitor and remove negative
comments about Dad." Having calmed down, Alyssa had a steeled look in her eyes.
Alyssa added, "Get the PR Department to host an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, and get the
Legal Department to draft a public announcement as well as a legal letter to hold the user accountable for
leaking the video."
Jonah reassured her, "Lyse, do not worry. | will take care of these matters."
Jasper, always thoughtful and a step ahead, informed her, "I've sent Xavier to work on the online monitoring and
comment removal."
Feeling much relaxed, Alyssa still carried a heavy heart. The doors of the treatment room flung open at that
time. Julien emerged in a white coat. He removed his surgical mask to reveal a disheartened expression.
