Chapter 143
Axel was in the backyard, walking straight toward his Lamborghini without so much as
looking back.
“Axel Alyssa cried, running up to him, “Where are you going?”
“As far away from this place as possible, obviously. Hopefully, I never have to come back.”
When Axel turned to look at her, she could see that his cheek had turned alarmingly red
where their father had hit him.
“You always said you cared the most about our brothers and me. So if this is our home,
then it’s your home too. How could you just never come back again?” Alyssa asked,
holding onto her brother’s hand. Her heart hurt so deeply.
Axel gazed at his beloved sister, then gently cupped her cheek. “Of course, I love you
guys. I’ll love you guys wherever I go. But this isn’t home anymore. I’ve fulfilled my

help lide your meals over.”
Mandy then looked down at her feet, a gentle smile on her face. “We hope these will be of
use to you, Axel.”
Axel blinked, then replied in a kind tone. “Thank you. I’m pretty stocked up, really. But I
appreciate the gesture. I’ll be off now.”
With that, Axel hugged Alyssa for a couple more seconds before he left.
Minutes later, his Lamborghini disappeared beyond the neighborhood.
Alyssa and Mandy were left standing in the courtyard. Both women heaved a sigh.
“Let him be, Mandy,” Alyssa consoled the older woman. “Axel’s improved a lot. He’s still a
wild child. We have to give him more time before he can find his footing here.”
“I know he feels sorry for me,” said Mandy, dipping her head sadly. “He doesn’t need to,
really. I’ve moved on from it. I’m okay now.”
Alyssa’s throat tightened, not knowing what to say.
Two years ago, tragedy struck the Taylor family.
Mandy’s eldest son and Alyssa’s half–brother, Damien Taylor, Captain of Solana Airways,
had sacrificed himself to save the crew and passengers aboard his flight.
A hardware malfunction had occurred. He decided to crash the plane into the ocean. Many
lives were saved that day, but not Damien’s. His passing occurred on what should have

One could persist in their grudges against Mandy and Winston when it came to their
complex relations, but the fact that Mandy had raised such a brave and noble son
remained undisputed until today.
The Maybach was on its way back to Solana City. Xavier remained a steady hand on the
wheel, peeking now and then at the rearview
mirror to gauge Jasper’s expression.
Jasper’s lace was solemn, his cheeks and lips pale, as if he were sick.

His carefully maintained pride had shattered into a million pieces and been sent flying in

Xavier was just as upset after seeing his boss being humiliated. “If you want Madam to
