"Is Dad out of his mind? What does Simon's matter have to do with Sean? I'm going to confront him!" Alyssa angrily slammed the table, but Lyla stopped her.

"Don't, Lyse. This has nothing to do with you. You'd better not get yourself involved. It might anger your father."

"Sean is an important friend, and Taty is my sister. How can I not care? I must get involved!" Alyssa had endured enough opposition to her own love and didn't want Tatiana to experience the same thing.

"Lyse, don't be stubborn." Mandy also tried to stop her.

"Your dad is just starting to change his views on Jasper, and things are getting a bit better for both of you. Provoking your dad now won't help. He's petty, and he might take it out on Jasper."

"Exactly, and Taty is Lyla's daughter. Lyse, it's not suitable for you to intervene," Colene added, persuading Alyssa.
