Chapter 81

After returning from the charity auction, Alyssa locked herself in her room. She refused to come

out. She was in an unusually low mood.

In the evening, Jonah and Silas visited their sister. Although Alyssa came downstairs, she seemed listless. She was lacking her usual vigor.

“Lyse, I heard about what happened at the auction from Mrs. Taylor,” Jonah said as he gently held his sister’s bandaged hand. He stroked it tenderly. “How’s your injury? Did Sean take care of dressing the wound for you? Does it still hurt? Is there any infection?”

“I have basic first aid. I can take care of it myself. Sean’s already worried about many things. I don’t want to bother him with something this small,” Alyssa replied sullenly. She quickly pulled her hand back.

“Sean is becoming less reliable! If I hadn’t bumped into Mrs. Taylor at home and learned about what happened to you at the auction, we would’ve been kept in the dark!” Silas said, his eyes filled

with rage.

“Tomorrow, I’ll deliver a subpoena to the Becketts. Jonah can contact the KS legal team and

formally sue those old hags for damaging your reputation! I’ll burn down their home! We’ll show

them the might of the Taylors!”

“Let it go. It’s not worth it.” Alyssa leaned against Jonah’s wide chest. She said softly, “We have a

legal team, but don’t the Becketts have one too? If things escalate, it will reach Dad’s ears. It’s not

worth it.”
