Chapter 720
Mandy trembled at the thought of even asking for Axel’s help, knowing that Axel was
resentful toward her and the entire Taylor family.
Despite Mandy’s sacrifices and true love for Winston and her stepchildren, Axel had
stubbornly perceived her as a homewrecker. Without Mandy opening the polygamous
floodgate, Winston wouldn’t have gone on to marry Lyla and Colene.
Axel probably wondered if Winston would have stayed monogamous had it not been for
Mandy’s
presence.
As Winston’s second wife, she bore the brunt of criticisms and prejudices more than the
other two wives.

replied to Alyssa, “I’ll get this done right away. I’m calling Julien now.”
She always attended to Alyssa’s concerns promptly. She dialed Julien’s number, and soon,
they heard. Julien’s surprisingly youthful voice from the other end. He greeted, “Aunt
Mandy, I’ve missed you!”

and forget about
me?’ Mandy teased him.
“Gosh, no! I’d never forget a lovely lady like you, replied Julien. Alyssa lifted a brow at his
slick reply.
From how Julien spoke to Mandy, Alyssa perceived him as a sweet talker. He presented
himself very
differently from what she had imagined.
“Julien, you’re all grown up. When you were younger, I could praise you for being clever.
Now, you’re just
cheesy,” Mandy teased him with a chuckle.
He protested, “I’m just 27 years old! Call me cheesy when I hit my thirties. If I’m not
wrong, my cousins
should have reached that age. I bet you interacted with those cheesy guys too much.
“You should visit Mosgravia to enjoy the company of a good-looking gentleman like me!
Hahaha!”
Alyssa grimaced when she overheard Julien’s remarks. He sounded unserious, annoying,
and crude.
“Alright now, let’s get to business,” Mandy suggested, clearing her throat. After some
hesitation, she
explained, “Julien, I called to ask for a favor.”
FOX Just
tell me what you need. I don’t count favors,” he replied.
After a pause, she said in a ushed voice, “Could you take some time off to visit Solana
City? I have ant
acquaintance who suffered from head trauma a few days ago in a near-death Incident.

“After undergoing brain surgery, his condition has stabilized, but there are some
complications. Julien, you’re a talented neurologist. Can you examine him in Solana City
for my sake?”
“Who is that?” Julien wondered. Mandy glanced at a visibly nervous Alyssa and answered,
“Why don’t you come to Solana City? I’ll bring you to him when you’re here.”

consultation, or I will not take the case,” Julien countered. He was smart enough not to fall
into Mandy’s trap.
He seemed like a really fussy person to deal with,
Mandy had no choice but to divulge. “His name is Jasper Beckett. He’s an important friend
to Lyse.”
“You mean that president of Beckett Group, Jasper Beckett?” Julien gasped, his tone visibly
growing solemn.
“Yes,”
“Aunt Mandy, I need to get going. Goodbye!”
“Hey, Julien! Listen to me-”
“There’s nothing more to discuss. You know my principles. The reason I went to Mosgravia
and started my career in a foreign land was because I despised the elitism in Solana City.
“When I worked at the local hospital years ago, I witnessed a poor couple kneeling in front
of the hospital director’s office just to beg for a heart transplant that was originally
supposed to be for their daughter!”
