Later on, Alyssa learned that her troublesome classmate had dropped out of school just three days
after the incident.
The family's business faced bankruptcy, and her father was incarcerated. Upon realizing the wrongs
she had committed against Alyssa, her mother lived in perpetual anxiety.
In the end, she succumbed to a bout of serious illness.
As such, it was a miracle that Winston hadn't done anything to Jasper yet.
It was Alyssa who was the creator of this miracle.
If it weren't for her telling him over and over not to touch Jasper, he might have already sent someone
to assassinate him!
He probably wouldn't need to get the job done personally. Jonah and Axel would most likely have
already gotten rid of Jasper.
"Dad, at the end of the day, I am also hugely responsible for the failure of the marriage."
Alyssa didn't address him by his name again. She had a serious look on her face, making it obvious
that she was very persistent and earnest about this relationship.
"Back then, I was too desperate to be with him and to call him mine. That was why I insisted on
marrying him even though I knew that he didn't like me.

love at all? Moreover, he was in love with another woman at that time."
"Alyssa! Have you gone fucking mad? Has he brainwashed you or something? There are billions of
men in the world. Why must you insist there is only one way to Rome?"
In his rage, Winston slammed his fist against the table.
His eyes bulged with anger as he yelled, "I don't care who he was in love with at the time. If he didn't
fancy you, he could have chosen not to marry you! Since he married you, he should have been
responsible as your husband!
"But what did he do? He was an illegitimate child, unloved by his family. He also couldn't take the
pressure from Mr. Beckett Senior. But did that mean he could abandon his old flame and marry a
woman he didn't love?
"It is exactly this sort of weak loser behavior that makes me have no respect for him! He is not good
enough for you and has no right to be my son-in-law!"
Alyssa curled her fingers into tight fists on her knees. She felt like a boulder was weighing her heart
down, and couldn't catch her breath.
"It's not like what you're thinking, Dad."
"That's enough! I don't want to hear another word from you! I want you to break up with him
immediately! It must be a clean break! Don't make me do it for you!"
Winston showed no sign of slowing down on his rage.
In a cold and decisive tone, he shouted, "Now, news about your marriage in secret and divorce has
already spread. So, you shouldn't be entangled with the Becketts anymore!
"And yet, you have blurred the lines in your relationship with Jasper. What do you think people will say
about you?
"They wouldn't care about whether you are both in love. They will simply assume that you had no
choice but to return to your ex-lover after your divorce. They will think that no one else wants to take
you in. No one other than Jasper! Even if you don't feel ashamed about that, at least think about your
family!"
"You know me. I have never cared what people think about me. No one can stop me as long as it is
something that I want to do. Neither can anyone stop me from loving the man I love," Alyssa responded
firmly but coldly.
"You!"
Winston felt the blood pressure rise within him. All of a sudden, his vision became black. He stumbled

"D-Dad!"
The blood drained from Alyssa's face. She rushed forward and kneeled on one knee in front of
Winston. She held his trembling body and tried to support him.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell, Dad?"
"Winston!" Mandy, Lyla, and Colene jumped. Their hearts were pounding, and they also rushed over to
check on Winston.
"I'm fine ... Don't make such a big fuss," Winston answered. He closed his eyes and forced himself to
suppress the massive headache he was getting. He could barely balance himself.
"Dad! Lie down, quick!"
Alyssa and Colene quickly helped him. They laid him on his back on the sofa. With eyes full of tears,
Lyla whipped out her cell phone to call 911.
As for Mandy, she seemed to be unusually calm. In a flash, she retrieved two bottles of medication
from the drawer under the desk.
She poured a few tablets onto her hand and fed them to Winston.
"Winston, take your medicine, hurry!"
Winston swallowed the pills and drank some water. As he lay back down, he began to relax his
furrowed brows.
