Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa's biting retorts struck a chord within Dominic, igniting a surge of anger that
left him feeling suffocated.
While Jasper felt a swell of gratitude to see Alyssa standing up for him, he
remained cautious, casting her a concerned glance and gently squeezing her
hand to signal her to temper her words in Winston's presence.
"That's enough, Lyse. Let's not dwell on this." Winston's face was grim.
"Uncle Dominic, you've committed a serious offense, and yet you've gone so far
as to gather people to visit Dad. I had hoped for some change in you," Alyssa
remarked, her smirk dripping with sarcasm. "But instead, you're deflecting blame
onto others for your own mistakes.
"You've made a grave error, and yet you persist in your defiance, even after Dad
has helped you. Seeing as everything has gone south, why not accept
responsibility for your actions?
"You should handle the repayment of the 50 million on your own. It shouldn't be
too burdensome for a member of the Taylor family."
Alyssa had not only fended the Taylor family but also redirected the
consequences of Dominic's actions back to him with fervor. Dominic's lips
twitched with frustration, his outrage barely contained. “Alyssa, you—"
Winston became so agitated that a violent headache gripped his head. His
hands, hidden beneath the blanket, trembled uncontrollably.
“Lyse, stop! Something is wrong with Uncle Winston!" Jasper urgently whispered
to Alyssa, noting Winston's pale complexion.
Dominic observed the unfolding situation and let out a loud wail, paying no heed

to Winston's distress. "Winston, I'm devastated! I feel utterly disregarded as an
elder! Perhaps it's better if I simply cease to exist!"
Lyla and Colene rushed to Winston's side, their hearts pounding with fear of his
condition worsening due to Dominic's outburst.
“Enough, Dominic. I've said I won't pursue this further, and I mean it." Winston's
breathing grew labored, and his voice lacked the vigor it once held.
Alyssa frowned. "Dad, you..." Dominic continued, "I feel like I have no respect
from the family. Even in the company, I'm constantly undermined..."
"Don't worry. I will keep my promise and not demote you,” Winston reassured, his
hospital gown damp with sweat as he struggled to maintain his usual composure.
Externally, Dominic appeared grateful, but internally, he sneered at Winston's
words.
Winston's unwavering commitment to relationships and loyalty was his strength,
but for Dominic, it was a limitless advantage. He could exploit this weakness to
his advantage time and time again.
As Winston's only brother, this was just one of the many reasons Dominic held
sway over him.
Years ago, if Dominic hadn't rescued the injured Jennifer on the beac Winston
might peyet Kale mét the Idvetot hi (ite. Their heartwarming marriage and
children might never have come to fruition.
This was the real leverage Dominic held over Winston.
Though Winston might have forgiven him, he still owed his children an
explanation. So, he spoke sternly, "However, this the final time.I'm not solely responsible for the KS Group. A manager's role is to manage finances, not line his own
pockets.

If this happens again, I won't help
you. Furthermore, I'll handle it impartially and pursue the matter fully. Do you hear me, Dominic?"

Alyssa couldn't comprehend what was happening.

Winston had always been resolute
and dominant in the business word,
never backing down. He always meant what he said and answered to
no one as he towered over the
business landscape. So, why was he
suddenly acting this way?
