Setting aside Winston's titles, he was first and foremost a father. He had promised Jennifer toprotect their children as long as he was alive.

Following the exposé, Jonah and Julien's relationship created a huge stir online. One could onlyimagine the level of insults hurled at them by the public and KS Group's business rivals, who wishedfor the company’s downfall.

Someone wrote, "What the fuck? That's revolting. Don't homosexuals lead a promiscuous life andare prone to getting AIDS?"

"How obscene! That's against the law of nature.”

"The homosexual circle sounds pretty messed up. They could sleep with anyone. True love doesn'texist for them.”

"Jonah Taylor's image is irreparably ruined. He was once the perfect president of KS Group, but he'sdone for now!"

"I'm more shocked by his lover. It's Julien Lovelace of the Lovelace Group! OMG! The rich certainlychase after thrills.”

"What a waste of two hotties!"

The Taylor family was in disarray after the scandal. Lyla, Colene, Tatiana, and Cyrus joined Mandy inthe adjacent room to offer comfort. Mandy was understandably upset because the scandal involvedthe Lovelace family as well.

Besides, she was one of the first few to learn about the relationship and keep it under wraps.Drowning in remorse, she wanted to punch herself in the chest. Julien was her nephew, and Jonahwas like a son to her. Both were family, and she shared their pain.

Standing alone at the end of the corridor, Jasper answered a call from Xavier.

Xavier reported, "Mr. Beckett, we've tracked down the user who spread the photos of Mr. Jonah andDr. Lovelace. He's in our hands now. That man is an infamous tabloid reporter who'd do anythingfor money.

"He claimed that he'd received the photo and tip-off from an anonymous sender and received thetransfer via bank account. He had not once met with the culprit, claiming that he was just takingorders."

"Get rid of this reporter. Teach him a really good lesson," Jasper hissed, his eyes looking frosty."Roger that! You have nothing to worry about. I'll make sure to make it hellish for him." Xavierseemed equally enraged.

"Obtain any piece of information about the culprit from the reporter, no matter how small. I'llpersonally look into it." Jasper, a graduate of a military school, had taken lessons on cybersecurityand knew a thing or two about hacking. It was time to refresh his knowledge.

Xavier blurted out without thinking, "You? Forgive me for my bluntness, but wouldn't it be faster forMadam to perform the hacking?"

"Are you looking down on me now?" Jasper clenched his jaw.

Inhaling sharply, Xavier replied, “I'm on it!"

Jasper immediately received another call from an unknown number right after talking to Xavier,causing him to frown in suspicion. He never answered calls from strangers, not to mention it wasweird for strangers to learn about his personal number, which only a few knew, unlike his workphone number.

Still, he picked up. "Who is this?"

"Is this a hotline? Do I have to spam it to get through?" Axel's unserious voice rang on the otherend.

Jasper's eyes lit up with joy. "Axel?"

"How's Jonah?" Axel's voice turned serious and filled with concern.

"He is having a chat with Winston now. I believe he's pretty affected by the scandal.” Never good atwords of comfort, Jasper only offered a frank response.

After a short pause, Axel questioned, "How's Winston doing? He didn't faint or anything, did he?"Speechless, Jasper assured him, "No, he didn't, but we worried that the bad news might take a tollon his health."

"He should be fine. He's pretty tough. He didn't even collapse after learning about your three-yearsecret marriage with Lyse, where she suffered a miscarriage. There's no reason he'd succumb to thisscandal.”

Jasper pressed against his chest and let out a dull cough as though he was shot. Jasper feared hemight collapse before Winston even did from Axel's caustic remarks.
