Tatiana stuttered, “Y–Yes!”

“I’ll go to your performance with Ms. Alyssa.” Sean beamed at Tatiana like a big brother.

He was

close to Alyssa and Tatiana because he watched them grow up.

He even recalled how the young Tatiana, around six or seven years old, always followed

Alyssa

around with snot on her face, sucking on a lollipop.

Alyssa did not notice the blush on Tatiana’s cheeks because the latter was easily

embarrassed.

Little did she know that Tatiana had a crush on Sean for seven years.

“Let’s go. I’m famished. I’ve been missing Lyla’s cooking for days! Time to eat!” She held

Tatiana’s

hand and traversed the villa.

“Mom’s still in the kitchen. Dinner is not ready yet because you’re back early.” Tatiana

swung

Alyssa’s arm, just like she had done since she was young.

“Oh! I’m hungry, though.” Alyssa’s stomach was growling from hunger.

“How about some snacks?” Sean smiled and unwrapped a chocolate bar he fished from his

jacket

pocket. Then, he attentively fed it to her.

She turned around and took a bite, as usual, without thinking.

Tatiana felt bitter at their intimacy. From a young age, she was aware that Sean had been

crushing on Alyssa.

Sean even gave up the opportunity to take over his father’s law firm and the chance to be

a prosecutor like Silas. He’d rather give up on career progression for a secretary role to

stay by

Alyssa.

Tatiana knew that Sean would never look at her.

The family was in high spirits at night because of Alyssa’s successful divorce and Tatiana’s

visit from Solana City. The villa was filled with merriment.

The maids were beaming, for they had not seen the siblings having fun with each other for

a long

time.

The reunion would have been perfect had Miley joined them–it’d be nice to see the three

Shields, as he was busy with his presidential campaign.

Lyla and the maids laid the feast. The dishes looked and smelled appetizing. Too bad

Alyssa was

unable to dig in right away as Winston had gathered everyone in the living room for a last–

minute

family meeting

Jonah, Silas, Tatiana, Colene, and Lyla were in the living room. Winston was seated in the

middle

of the couch with a stern and unforgiving look, typical of the leader of the Taylor Group.

“Dad, can’t we talk after the meal? We’re hungry.” Alyssa swallowed hard as she savored

the

smells that wafted from the dining hall.

“How could you think about eating after what you’ve done?” Winston smirked.

“What? The divorce is good news! I should celebrate it with a feast!” Alyssa smiled

brightly. The other family members did not respond. Only Tatiana, who was kept in the

dark, widened her eyes in shock and inhaled sharply

She was taken aback by the news about Alyssa’s marriage and recent divorce. Alyssa had

always

been pragmatic and businesslike. Did she opt to marry for love? That was very unlike

Alyssa, who

was never blinded by love.

“You left home for three years only to marry a random man. In the end, you lost your

marriage and did not get a single cent from the divorce! Plus, that jerk from the Beckett

family is set to marry a

new wife right away.

“I can’t tolerate their treatment of my daughter. How could you allow them to bully you?

You should have bankrupted them before coming home.”

Winston had lost sleep out of anger. The more he thought over the divorce, the more he

fumed. If he could, he would travel to the office of the Beckett Group in Solana City and

slap Jasper Beckett

in the face!

“Winston, is there any way we can let this go?” She sighed, suddenly losing her appetite.

“The Beckett Group has expanded under Grandpa’s leadership. I can’t possibly ruin his

legacy. Your daughter is not a heartless woman.”

“I’d rather you be a heartless woman! You are my proud and heartless daughter. I’d rather

clean up after your mess than see you bullied for three years by another family!” Winston

bellowed, his veins popping and his eyes turning red.

His outburst came as a shock to everyone. Jonah looked at his feet with pursed lips while

Silas

shot a worried look at Alyssa.

Alyssa lowered her gaze. Her lashes were fluttering as she fought back tears.

She knew how much Winston doted on her. That was precisely why she had kept her

marriage to

Jasper a secret from Winston. However, her plan seemed to have backfired.

“Mandy, I heard from the Becketts that you met with Lyse. Did you know about her

marriage with that Beckett guy all along?” Winston directed his charged question at

Mandy.

“Yes, I did.” Mandy stared at the ground and answered honestly.
