Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue -
Chapter 1579
Alyssa couldn't fathom Winston's tolerance toward Dominic's offense.
"Winston, the fault was mine. I'll ensure the same mistake isn't repeated. Please rest well. I won'tbother you any longer.”
Having been reassured by Winston, Dominic prepared to leave with a satisfied smile.
"Winston, I'll see Dominic off,” Mandy spoke gently.
Dominic exited the ward with a smug grin.
Not long after, Mandy's voice cut through the silence. "Stay where you are.”
Dominic pivoted on his heels, only to replace Mandy closing in on him with a frigid demeanor. In aninstant, her hand shot forward, delivering a sharp slap across his face before he could react."W-Why did you hit me?" Dominic's eyes widened, his cheek stinging and a red mark forming."You know perfectly well why,” Mandy retorted, her demeanor stern and intimidating. Gone was thegentle and kind woman from earlier.
She continued, "I've waited far too long to deliver this blow. When Winston ended up in the hospitalbecause of you, I should have struck you down then and there, tearing your mouth apart!"
There was nobody else around to witness the confrontation. Dominic abandoned his facade,meeting Mandy's gaze with a scornful and malicious sneer. "Haha, who do you think you are? Areyou under the delusion that you're Winston's real wife?
"You shamelessly clung to my brother, just like the other two. All of you are merely his playthings forwhen he grows bored. Now, you're simply filling in for my deceased sister-in-law.
"You should be grateful that she passed away early, affording you this opportunity to bask in thespotlight. Otherwise, do you think you'd be who you are today? In days of old, you'd be no morethan a mere concubine.”
Mandy's eyes filled with rage. It wasn't Dominic's humiliation that triggered her, but hiscontemptuous and disrespectful mention of Jennifer. "You bastard!"
With fury coursing through her veins, Mandy raised her hand, but Dominic reacted swiftly, seizingher wrist and pushing her forcefully, nearly causing her to stumble.
"Hmph! You've overestimated yourself. Do you truly believe you hold any power here just becauseI've allowed you to linger out of respect for my brother?” Dominic spat out, rubbing his face beforestorming off, leaving Mandy standing in shock with her reddened wrist.
"Mandy!"
Alyssa and Jasper, their concern evident, hurried after Mandy. They witnessed the entire altercationunfold before them.
"Madam Mandy, how could he treat you like that?" Jasper's eyes ablaze with anger, his body tensewith indignation.
Mandy offered a wry smile and shook her head, trying to downplay the situation.
But Jaspers fists clenched, his resolve evident. "I'll replace him and make him pay for this!"
"Don't, son!" Mandy interjected, grabbing Jasper's arm. "This isn't your fight. You have a reputationas the president of the Beckett Group to uphold. It's not worth tarnishing it over a petty man likehim."
This time, she addressed him not as "Mr. Beckett" but as "son".
