Chapter 923
Axel’s remark cut deep with its harsh and caustic tone. No one else in the Taylor family, apart from Alyssa and Axel, would speak
in such a bold manner.
The bodyguards couldn’t contain their laughter, adding to Jameson’s
embarrassment.
Jasper arched his brow as he observed Jameson’s calm expression. crumble. He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t
relishing this
moment.
“I’m just here to visit Lyse. Axel, why the verbal attacks?” Jameson wondered out loud, his chest heaving with rage.
“Fine. But why did you threaten the guards with my dad’s name?” Axel confronted him with disdain.
“He’s not your dad, and you’re not a child. Don’t you feel embarrassed to threaten to tell on the guards?”
Jasper stood in stunned silence.
Meanwhile, Jameson wore a scowl, his frozen smile betraying his
discomfort.
However, he quickly rebounded from the humiliation, thanks to his years of hardship in Kontina.
Composing himself, he pleaded, “Axel, I’m just worried after getting the news about Lyse. I just want to check on her.”

on the back.
“Sure, Axel,” Jasper replied flatly.
Axel lifted a brow in amusement. He enjoyed the feeling more than he had expected. He liked addressing Jasper on a first-name
basis.
On the other hand, Jameson paled and looked stung. He had no idea what had happened in the past few days or what Jasper
had done to receive the approval of a man as difficult as Axel Whitaker.
Suddenly, Axel halted in his tracks and added, “Jameson, you know that you can’t force a relationship. Some things will never
belong to you, no matter how much effort you put into getting them.
“Besides, you have a lovely lady by your side. I believe she’s your type, or else you wouldn’t have kept her. Am I right?”
Jameson held his breath and rolled his fists as his heart pounded. Consumed by rage, he glowered at Axel and Jasper until they
were out of sight.
Carl stammered, “M-Mr. Schmidt...”
He was intimidated by Jameson’s angry look. Sweating, he asked
