NovelOnlineAlyssa marched fast, saying, "I purposely set up this trap for Dominic. All we have to do is for him to take the
bait."
Sean was surprised. "What?"
"You don't really think that NDA is functional, do you?"
Alyssa's gaze was cold as she continued, "There's always a fly on the wall. Even if Winston doesn't go to the
hospital after this incident, news of it is still bound to spread. Dominic will naturally jump on this opportunity to
strike now that he's seen it himself.
"If we want to get rid of him, we need to wait for him to take the first move. | can't retaliate if he doesn't strike
first."
Sean immediately understood Alyssa's intentions. He gave her a thumbs up. "Woah. You're really cunning, Ms.
Alyssa. Oh, wait. | meant—you're a genius!"

Alyssa arrived at her father's side just as the medics left. Winston's condition had already stabilized.
His mental state, however, was in shambles.
"Have you told my family?" Alyssa's eyes were wet with tears as she stood in front of Jasper.
Jasper gently shook his head and pulled her into his arms, heart aching. "Even though they have to be notified of
this sooner or later... | still think we should keep it quiet for now. Winston needs srest. He's not in a good
state right now."
Alyssa rested her forehead on Jasper's shoulder, fists trembling by her sides.
She was Winston's most loved daughter, and she was the one who knew her father best. Of course she knew just
how much pain her father was going through.
"Have you dealt with the directors? If you need help, don't hesitate to ask me. Don't take up all the pressure
yourself," Jasper said earnestly.
"It has all been dealt with." Alyssa leaned weakly against him, sniffling.
"You're such an amazing woman, baby," Jasper said, kissing Alyssa's cheek as his heart pounded in his chest.
Yes, Jasper had to admit it. Alyssa was the only woman for him now. She was basically his wife at this point.
What is. going on with my father's body?" Alyssa asked worriedly as she rubbed her eyes.
"The medics cby just now, but they couldn't do much else besides stabilizing Winston's condition.
We'll need to get your father checked at the hospital, but... I'm afraid he doesn't want to go."
Alyssa grew frustrated. "Why is he still so proud? Is his pride more important than his life?"
Jasper clasped her trembling hand and said, "Honestly, given how your father has lived such a proud,
respectable life for so long, you might be right."
Death before dishonor!
"We can't have Julien cand help us now after what happened with Aidan last time," Alyssa sighed. "I could

"It's all my fault." Guilt filled Jasper's chest. "It must be because of that drug's side effects. | didn't think this
through. | shouldn't have let Winston try it!"
"This is not your fault, Jasper. Don't blyourself." Alyssa caressed his face before going over to her father's
side.
Winston was lying on the couch right now covered in a blanket, back toward them. He wasn't moving in the
slightest bit.
Alyssa wanted to cry so badly.
To her, her father's back had always been a firm, indomitable figure of safety that would shield her from the
harshest obstacles, providing her with all the support she needed.
Yet right now, Alyssa felt like her father had grown old.
He was silently curled into a ball like a sad old man.
"Winston. Hey, Winston."
