Mandy was prepared to take the bullet for everyone else as long as Lyla and Colene were
not
implicated
“Why didn’t you tell me? You should have known better than my daughter! Don’t you feel
bad
watching her living in hell?” Winston was taking out his anger on Mandy.
“Winston, it’s all my fault.” Mandy slowly rose from her seat. She couldn’t be more humble
as the
proud daughter of the Lovelace Family. “Don’t blame it on Lyse. Fault me instead. I did not
pay
enough attention to her.”
Alyssa felt her chest tightened. She was about to defend Mandy when the hot–tempered
Colene
shot up from the couch and blurted out, “Don’t blame it on Mandy! I’m responsible too! I
knew
about Lyse’s marriage from the start!”
“What?” Winston’s eyes popped out of his head.

“M–Me too…” Lyla meekly raised her hand. “I knew about it… way before this.”
“Lyla, even you are involved… They are a bad influence on you!” His head was spinning
when he
learned that the innocent Lyla had learned to lie.
Tears filled Alyssa’s eyes. She knew it would be hard for Winston to go off at her alone
when he
learned about the collective betrayal.
“Dad, please don’t be mad. Mandy, Lyla, and Colene did so in your best interest. You’ll be
more at ease if you know less,” Silas quickly jumped in to broker peace. He promptly sent
Winston a cup of
tea to suck up to him.
“Screw you, jackass!”
Winston might be a gentleman, but he could curse like a sailor. His booming voice almost
shook
the entire house.
“Wait, no… Did the both of you..

Jonah and Silas exchanged glances and coughed in embarrassment.
Winston was irate to learn that he was kept in the dark, thanks to the excellent acting
skills of his
family.

As a shrewd businessman who had played many others, he was shocked to learn that his
family
had played him. He let out a deafening roar and stormed up to the second floor without
looking
back.
“W–Winston, aren’t you eating?” Lyla hurriedly asked, but he did not answer.
“Lyla, why don’t you talk to him later? You’re soft and mild. He only listens to you.” Mandy
let out a
helpless sigh.
“I–I’m scared. I’ll keep some food for him and send them to his room.” Lyla faltered,
knowing that
the situation was abnormally grave.
“When he’s in a bad mood, he always hangs out in his antique vault… Oh crap! He must
have
found out!” Colene was sweating profusely.
Immediately, they heard Winston’s desperate scream from upstairs. “C–Call the police!
Now! My
one–million antique rosewood chair has gone missing!”
The dinner ended badly. If not for everyone’s collective effort to hold back Winston from

to
demand Newton to return the chair.
Winston had become more of an oddball as he aged. Moreover, he needed to be
shameless to get
what he wanted as an antique collector. As a result, he became increasingly brazen and
hot-
tempered in recent years.
Right now, Alyssa bet that no woman would fall for him, even if he paid them.
At night, Alyssa had a heart–to–heart talk with Tatiana. Not only that, they did everything
together, from taking baths, drying their hair, and applying skincare. In the end, they were
rolling
around in bed and tickling each other.
“By the way, do you like my birthday gift for you?” Tatiana lay chest down on the bed,
resting her cheeks in her palms.
“I loved it! I got it framed and hung it in my study at my Solana City villa. Sean was there
when I put it on the wall. At first, he thought it was a 3D–printed photo because it was so
lifelike! You know he’s stingy with his compliments, but he showered you with praises that
day!”
Alyssa looked at Tatiana affectionately and placed Tatiana’s soft hand in hers. “Taty, your
