“By the way, I’ll be here tomorrow morning to fetch Ms. Alyssa and drive her back to
Solana City. It’s time I
get back to work.”
Sinead thought back to when her beloved youngest son knelt to clean Alyssa’s feet. She
wrinkled her
nose, saying, “You were doing just fine by Mr. Jonah’s side, Sean. He’s KS World’s CEO,
after all.
“Why are you going back to Ms. Alyssa’s side now? What kind of future would that hold for
you? Winston
will want to pass his family business onto his sons one day, not his daughter.”
“Haven’t you read the news, Mom? Ms. Alyssa’s been taking Solana City by storm,” Steven
cut in excitedly.
He continued, “The netizens are even calling her ‘Queen of Pseudonyms’ now. By the
looks of it, she’s
nearly as capable as her brother, Jonah.”
“That’s because she has her father to help her!” Sinead said, still upset.
Sean held his mother’s hand and said earnestly, “Mom, Ms. Alyssa is very generous and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtkind to me. She
needs me. And as long as she still needs me, I’ll always be there by her side… until she
decides otherwise
someday.”
Sinead was astounded and felt as though she had been neglected or had slipped from
importance to a
child who was now wholly engrossed with their fiancée.
Spencer gazed incredulously at his younger brother. Sean had basically confessed his love
to Alyssa
Taylor.
*Sean, does Alyssa return your affection?” Sinead asked, still worried about her son. She
felt like Alyssa
might have seduced him into whatever this was. She didn’t want her pride and joy to go to
waste like this!
Sinead added, “Look at what Alyssa made you do! Just because we owe it to the Taylor
family didn’t
mean they could just treat you like you were subservient!”
Sean hugged his mother, seeing the tears in her eyes. “You overthink, Mom. Ms. Alyssa
truly is kind to me. She never demands or orders me around. I do what I do of my own
volition.”
Meanwhile, the atmosphere was getting heavy and dense in the other car.
“Stay out of the Taylor family’s way from now on!” Spencer reprimanded sternly.
Spencer continued, “Do you not remember what I’ve always taught you? Never forget

“Besides, your net worth is already more than millions! Why do you still need to go work
with the Beckett
family and turn against the Taylors?”
“I did nothing wrong! The Taylor family is the one who’s pushing my limits!” Simon gritted
out, feeling contempt at the humiliation he had suffered earlier tonight.
Simon added, “Alyssa must have told her father about this. That’s why he bought out
Evergreen Capital
and took control of my firm!
“I refuse to let her get the best of me! I’m going to make her regret it if it’s the last thing I
do!”
“When will you wake up from this delusion of yours?” Spencer angrily slapped Simon
across his cheek.
Spencer asserted, “Listen and do as I say. I am your father. I.won’t let you down! Do you
think you can
manipulate the Taylors like the Beckett family? They’re more close-knit than you can
imagine.
“I know that better than anyone else! Trying to attack one of them is waging war with their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmentire family.
You’ll lose everything you have!”
But Simon was still adamant. In the end, all Spencer could say was, “I’m warning you, you
can go dig your
grave all you like, but keep our family out of this!”
After clearing things up with Alyssa, Sean returned to work by her side. Though his first
love had to end so
abruptly and sadly, it was still an end to something he had been holding on for years.
What remained on his mind was that kiss from that night in Tatiana’s bedroom.
“Sean. Sean? The eggs are burning!”
Alyssa’s yell jerked him back to the present.
Smoke billowed from the grayish-looking lumps in the pan before him.
“Shit!” He quickly switched off the stove and tossed the pan in the sink before turning on
the tap.
“What is up with you? You’ve been so distracted lately.” Alyssa hurriedly came over to see
if he had suffered any burns.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Alyssa. I haven’t slept very well these past few days. Please, let me make
another omelet for you.”
Sean was about to scrub the blackened pan when Alyssa stopped him.

“No need. We’re running out of time. Let’s just grab breakfast at a café outside. I need you
to drive me to
Crater Mountain Park later. I want to go see Mr. Forrest.”
