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?”

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
