Chapter 505: Chapter 505

“By the way, I’ll be here tomorrow morning to fetch Ms. Alyssa and drive her back to Solana City. It’s time I get back to work.”

Sinead thought back to when her beloved youngest son knelt to clean Alyssa’s feet. She wrinkled her nose, saying, “You were doing just fine by Mr. Jonah’s side, Sean. He’s KS World’s CEO, after all.

“Why are you going back to Ms. Alyssa’s side now? What kind of future would that hold for you?

Winston will want to pass his family business onto his sons one day, not his daughter.”

“Haven’t you read the news, Mom? Ms. Alyssa’s been taking Solana City by storm,” Steven cut in excitedly.

He continued, “The netizens are even calling her ‘Queen of Pseudonyms’ now. By the looks of it, she’s nearly as capable as her brother, Jonah.”

“That’s because she has her father to help her!” Sinead said, still upset.

Sean held his mother’s hand and said earnestly, “Mom, Ms. Alyssa is very generous and kind to me.

She needs me. And as long as she still needs me, I’ll always be there by her side… until she decides otherwise someday.”

Sinead was astounded and felt as though she had been neglected or had slipped from importance to a child who was now wholly engrossed with their fiancée.

Spencer gazed incredulously at his younger brother. Sean had basically confessed his love to Alyssa Taylor.

*Sean, does Alyssa return your affection?” Sinead asked, still worried about her son. She felt like Alyssa might have seduced him into whatever this was. She didn’t want her pride and joy to go to waste like this!

Sinead added, “Look at what Alyssa made you do! Just because we owe it to the Taylor family didn’t mean they could just treat you like you were subservient!”

Sean hugged his mother, seeing the tears in her eyes. “You overthink, Mom. Ms. Alyssa truly is kind to me. She never demands or orders me around. I do what I do of my own volition.”

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was getting heavy and dense in the other car.

“Stay out of the Taylor family’s way from now on!” Spencer reprimanded sternly.

Spencer continued, “Do you not remember what I’ve always taught you? Never forget those who have “Besides, your net worth is already more than millions! Why do you still need to go work with the Beckett family and turn against the Taylors?”

“I did nothing wrong! The Taylor family is the one who’s pushing my limits!” Simon gritted out, feeling contempt at the humiliation he had suffered earlier tonight.

Simon added, “Alyssa must have told her father about this. That’s why he bought out Evergreen Capital and took control of my firm!

“I refuse to let her get the best of me! I’m going to make her regret it if it’s the last thing I do!”

“When will you wake up from this delusion of yours?” Spencer angrily slapped Simon across his cheek.

Spencer asserted, “Listen and do as I say. I am your father. I.won’t let you down! Do you think you can manipulate the Taylors like the Beckett family? They’re more close-knit than you can imagine.

“I know that better than anyone else! Trying to attack one of them is waging war with their entire family.

You’ll lose everything you have!”

But Simon was still adamant. In the end, all Spencer could say was, “I’m warning you, you can go dig your grave all you like, but keep our family out of this!”

After clearing things up with Alyssa, Sean returned to work by her side. Though his first love had to end so abruptly and sadly, it was still an end to something he had been holding on for years.

What remained on his mind was that kiss from that night in Tatiana’s bedroom.

“Sean. Sean? The eggs are burning!”

Alyssa’s yell jerked him back to the present.

Smoke billowed from the grayish-looking lumps in the pan before him.

“Shit!” He quickly switched off the stove and tossed the pan in the sink before turning on the tap.

“What is up with you? You’ve been so distracted lately.” Alyssa hurriedly came over to see if he had suffered any burns.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Alyssa. I haven’t slept very well these past few days. Please, let me make another omelet for you.”

Sean was about to scrub the blackened pan when Alyssa stopped him.

“No need. We’re running out of time. Let’s just grab breakfast at a café outside. I need you to drive me to Crater Mountain Park later. I want to go see Mr. Forrest.”
