Chapter 1613

Aidan stopped dead in his tracks. The annoyed look crept up his face once more.

Alyssa freed herself from Jasper's grip and stormed up to Aidan. In the next moment, she raised her

hand in the air and slapped Aidan across his face twice with all her strength.

Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground. Even Jasper and Aidan were caught off guard by her actions.

Aidan finally processed the slap when he felt the burning sensation on his cheek, the ringing in his

ear, and the blood trickling down from his lips.

"Alyssa Taylor!" Humiliated and furious, Aidan pressed a hand against his cheek. He gritted his teeth,

looking as if he was about to go off at her.

Seeing that, Jasper hurried over and pulled Alyssa into a protective hug. He shot a threatening

glance at Aidan, successfully intimidating the latter.

Aidan's heart skipped a beat under Jasper's glare. For a moment, he forgot about the pain on his

cheek

"The first slap was for Julien. I don't care about the state of your relationship with him. He's first and

foremost a brother and a friend to me. Slapping him is no different than slapping me.

"If you think you could cause a scene at our home and walk away freely, you're wrong. As your host,

it's only fair that I treat you to two slaps on the face.” Her authoritative voice boomed in the living

room.

"Wow! Lyse is so sassy! I love it!" Colene nearly yelped in excitement. If no one in the family had

taught Aidan a lesson, she would have gotten Nathan to serve Aidan excrement as a warning.

"Lyse..." Feeling touched, Julien teared up.

He found it ironic that it was the Taylors instead of the Lovelaces who had offered him the love and

support of family he had never experienced during his stay at Heightsnew Villa. Thanks to them, his

once cold and distant heart had thawed.

"The second slap was for Mandy." Alyssa was incensed when she thought of the suffering Mandy

went through for her. She so wanted to hit Aidan in the head. "I don't give a damn about your shitty

family rules. You're on our turf now, and Mandy is my family. How dare you humiliate her in front of

us Taylors?

"Consider yourself lucky today. A slap in the face is the lightest punishment for you. If you act like a

little bitch again, I'll slap you every time I run into you!"

Jasper admired Alyssa for the way she defended her family. He was a little worried that her hand

would be in pain from slapping Aidan, though.

"Y-You—" Aidan, a highly-educated business elite, had never been affronted in such a manner, but

he could not bring himself to cuss at Alyssa.

In the end, he pointed a finger at her pretty face and hissed in a trembling voice, "How dare you

slap me after what our family has done to help you? You're an ingrate! You Taylors are bullies! Every

one of you!"

"An ingrate?” The look in Jasper's eyes hardened. He spoke up for Alyssa, "Just like you mentioned,

Mandy was the one who secured the medicine for Lyse. Hence, Lyse is only indebted to her. If

anything, Lyse owes your grandpa a favor. What has she owed you?"

Ashen-faced, Aidan looked like he was about to explode.

Alyssa chimed in frostily, "Since you claimed that I received a favor from the Lovelaces, how about I

get my uterus removed? There's no point keeping it anyway since I don't want kids. If my uterus is

what you want, I'll get it removed. You can have it."

"Crazy bitch!" Aidan, knowing that he was no match for Alyssa in arguments or physical fights,

scrambled out of Heightsnew Villa, face reddened and tail between his legs.
