Can't Win Me Back

Joseph's face turned ghostly pale. His hand shook with rage as he gripped the mouse.

With a loud bang, he slammed the laptop shut. His fury reddened his face.

Panicked, Ernest asked, "Mr. Joseph, what do we do now?"

"So... that old man never truly saw me as his son! Even after all these years of loyalty, he only treated me as a tool! All he cares about is Mandy!" Joseph smashed the laptop in his anger.

Though he had feelings for Mandy, that laughable affection vanished in the face of his self-interest.

Joseph trembled with rage and gritted his teeth. "You brought this on yourself, Dad."

That night, Alyssa hurried back to Heightsnew Villa.

She went straight to see Mandy, who had just finished giving Winston his medication and was stepping out of the room.

"Mandy, did you visit Mr. Edgar? How is he?" Alyssa asked with concern after pulling her into a corner.

"Not good."

As Mandy held Alyssa's hand, her eyes were red-rimmed. "Lyse, there's something I need to tell you. I've already discussed it with Winston. Since you're here, I wanted to let you know too. Lovelace Group is in serious trouble. I might need to go back and help my dad manage it."

"Mandy... you... reconciled with him?" Alyssa's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah. Pathetic, right?" Mandy forced a bitter smile.

"Not at all! I'm so glad you've reconciled!" Alyssa said, her eyes shining with happiness.

"I was worried you'd never get over the past. You've taken a big step forward. Winston and I fully support you. We're your family and support system, not a hindrance. Whatever you decide to do, go for it. Even if Winston doesn't back you, Jasper, Jul, and I will always be on your side."

"Lyse... thank you." Mandy hugged Alyssa as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"By the way, Mandy, what position

will

Alyssa take at Lovelace Group?"

Alyssa asked curiously. "Joseph is the chairman now, right? Are you taking Aidan's spot? Remember, we Taylors don't settle for anything less than the top. Make sure to negotiate well with Mr. Edgar."

Mandy pressed her lips together, and her eyes gleamed with determination. "My dad wants me to take over Lovelace Group completely. He wants me to replace Joseph as the heir." Alyssa was stunned.

Although Edgar doted on Mandy, he wasn't as open-minded as Winston. He wouldn't disinherit Joseph unless it was absolutely necessary.

Had Joseph done something unforgivable? Was he involved in Aidan's shady dealings?

"If it were before, I'd be eager to manage things. But now, I just want to take care of Winston and live a peacefullife with my family. I suggested Julien to my dad, but since he lacks management skills, I'll need to help Lovelace Group get through this tough period first."

Alyssa's mind raced. "Did Mr. Edgar discuss this with Joseph?"

Mandy shook her head. "When I visited him this afternoon, Joseph was there. Dad talked to him privately. I don't know if they discussed it."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Mandy, I have a bad feeling about this. We need to increase security at the hospital to ensure Mr. Edgar's safety."

Mandy froze for a moment, then realized the gravity of the situation. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"But we can't alert them. We need to do everything discreetly," Alyssa said, her eyes glinting with resolve as she formulated a plan to catch them all in one fell swoop.
