Alyssa walked out of the entrance and went straight to the bus station. The last thing she needed was to bear the brunt of her father’s anger; she had enough of that for the last twenty-so years of her life.

There were many people waiting for the bus. Just as she had finally relaxed, a familiar black car stopped by the side of the road.

The window slowly lowered, and Jason glanced at her. “Get in the car.”

Although she hesitated, she got in anyway.

It was just three of them in the car, with the driver sitting upfront. Alyssa didn’t say a word even after she had gotten in.

The driver drove around for a while before stopping by a more isolated roadside.

After a few minutes of silence, Jason said faintly. “Alyssa, I know you skipping work was just a misunderstanding on my part. But your sister has already suffered so much today, and this matter should be taken care of. Don’t take it to heart.”

“You think that’s enough?” Alyssa sneered.

Jason frowned. “Your sister has already suffered so much. What else do you want?”

“Here! Skylar hit my face!” Alyssa pointed at her swollen face and said.

Why would she let it go?

If it was the other way around, Jason would’ve found a way to get revenge. Aurora would’ve hit her twice as hard. But now that Alyssa was the one who wanted to get back at her, they suddenly wanted her to let it go.

“You’re truly vicious, aren’t you?” Jason glared at her.

“Not as vicious as you. After all you can even hit your daughter so hard. Besides, your own daughter isn’t an angel either.” Lowering her head, Alyssa fiddled with the zipper on her bag. Although she appeared casual, the sarcasm was evident in her words.

Jason had lost so much face in front of “Justin” today, and he was still feeling the wounds from the aftermath.

Now that she had mentioned it once again, he was immediately filled with anger.

“You think I wanted to be forced by that bastard to beat her? Don’t you think I feel sorry for her? Don’t you think that…” Jason voice echoed throughout the car, getting louder and louder with each word spoken.
