However, Queen Magdalene was merely part of the royal harem. She might have been in a high position, but she did not have real power. Considering the pros and cons of the situation, she wouldn't protect foreigners."Citizens?" Miley scoffed. "The person my sister caught is not from Tsulu. He is from our country. However, my country has no grounds for extradition from your country. Therefore, the cops couldn't bring this despicable murderer to custody."Based on what I know, those killed at gunpoint were no saints either. They were vicious people who had blood on their hands. They settled themselves in Shelland Island with the backing of arms dealers. They did nothing but evil there."Your police force didn't capture or charge them for their crimes. In turn, you gave them immunity. Haha! Mr. Brock, you have such galls. You went as far as to collude with the government, disregarding the law of the land and failing to distinguish wrong from right. And all of these happened right under

The police chief, Miguel Brock, had engaged in collusion and accepted bribes. For years, he had leveraged his position to shield criminals, disregarding the country's welfare and its citizens' safety. Now, he was attempting to aid his arms-dealing accomplices in evading the law and assisting a murderer's escape."After careful consideration with the parliament, I hereby decree that Miguel Brock be removed from his position, be apprehended immediately, and receive severe punishment." Everyone's jaws dropped.The king personally decreed for Miguel to be removed from his position for the benefit of a few foreigners.There was likely more to the situation than initially apparent.When Queen Magdalene heard that decree, a smile appeared on her face. She was intrigued. She eyed Miley secretly and winked at her.Miley's face was as red as a tomato.In the car, Jeffrey's eyes darkened. He felt more hopeless than death itself."I-I was following someone's orders! I had no choice!"Mig

The king's decree had crushed Jeffrey's dream of seeking refuge in Tsulu.Not only that, it appeared that the royalty had attempted to use the opportunity to wrestle power from the military and diminish its influence, as well as deliver a blow to the mafia.In fact, the entire episode was a struggle for power between the royalty and the military. Jeffrey Synder alone was not worth the attention otherwise.It was Miley who informed Alyssa about the happenings, but Alyssa had it all figured out early on. What concerned her the most was Inigo Montoye, the military personnel whom Miguel had ratted on.The more she pondered about the matter, the more doubtful she became. However, her most immediate worry was Jasper's condition rather than figuring out the mastermind.For the time being, Jeffrey was in jail, awaiting a transfer. Back in Solana City, Cyrus had informed his superior and rushed to Tsulu overnight to repatriate Jeffrey.…At midnight, the hospital corridor buzzed with a

Axel seemed to have inherited the Taylors' traits of being vindictive and bitter.Every time Axel thought of how Jasper treated his sister, he couldn't help but take a jab at Jasper. For a second, he almost forgot that Jasper was battling for his life in the operating room."He faced bullying in school due to his background, but he hid his wounds to avoid worrying his mom. He never shared his struggles with her."Axel interjected angrily, "Fuck! I hate school bullies the most! They are pure evil." Crushing his cigarette box, he felt a fire burning within. "Why was Jasper so weak? He could have beaten the hell out of them. I couldn't believe that Jasper Beckett was bullied. He should have rammed them with his Rolls-Royce or something.""It's easy to go against a guy or two, but what happens when a group bullies you?" Landon questioned with pangs of sympathy.Axel's eyes wavered as he inadvertently clenched his fists.Landon explained, "Axel, you were born to Mr. Taylor and the wom

Alyssa began, "You kept the operation under wraps. I know Jasper well—he's always been cautious, and he couldn't have leaked the details of his operation."Even if Jeffrey Snyder's men alerted him after you and Jasper landed on the island, the enforcements who showed up should have been Snyder's accomplices. Why would the military personnel show up with heavy weapons? It's so bizarre.""That's true. I feel that Inigo's men seemed to have come for me and Jasper instead of backing up Jeffrey Snyder." Jonah held his breath when he recalled Jasper's words. "Jasper told me that he was 90 percent sure of the individual who sent the military enforcements, but we did not have the chance to discuss further because of the urgent situation."Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. "Did Jasper meet with Inigo before? Why did he reach out to Tsulian military personnel?"Jonah shook his head. "No. Jasper told me that someone in Cyrris was working discreetly with Inigo to assassinate us."Someone in Cyr

"Miley, sorry I'm late," Jeremy apologized.The middle-aged man gazed at his wife with bright eyes like a teen. Tearing up from guilt, he pulled her into a hug and gently patted her trembling back while repeatedly mumbling in her ear, "Darling, did you know how terrified I was when I heard you went to Tsulu alone? You were pretty fearless. What would I do if anything happened to you?""Well, if something happens to me, you'll have to get yourself a new First Lady," Miley joked as she playfully snuggled against her husband and buried her blushed face in his chest.She listened to his heartbeat, which calmed her down."What are you talking about?" Jeremy gently caressed her head, indulging in her soft and warm scent. "I wouldn't be where I am without you. Nothing in my life would matter if you're gone, and I'd gladly follow you.""Never say that again, or I'll be upset.""Or I can be a priest and pray for you every day."Alyssa discreetly dabbed at her eyes upon witnessing the aff

Jonah blushed, his heart pounding when he met Julien's passionate eyes. He remarked, "You look pale. You must have been overworked.""Are you worried about me?" A tender look crossed Julien's enchanting eyes.Gulping, Jonah managed to respond, "Yeah."Julien was incredibly elated at Jonah's curt reply, and he no longer held onto the resentment from earlier. He was easily appeased, all because he had helplessly fallen for Jonah.He silently leaned into Jonah's arms and explained, "I extracted the bullet from Mr. Beckett's left shoulder and the arrow on his back. Thankfully, the arrow wasn't poisoned, or he might not have survived."Even so, he is in a critical condition. The arrow narrowly missed his organ by half an inch. I'm sure everyone here knows the consequences of organ rupture. Even if Dr. White were here, she wouldn't be able to save his life."A stunned silence enveloped the group. Alyssa shivered, feeling a crushing weight on her chest. Tears brimmed in her eyes.As Dr

"Are you alright, Jeremy? Let me know if you feel sick. Don't keep it to yourself," Miley expressed her concern.Remaining by his side, she noticed how pale he looked. He seemed to have aged overnight, which pained her. "Remember the time you insisted on delivering a speech at a school despite having appendicitis? You fainted from pain as soon as you left the stage. "The doctor later said you could have died if you hadn't been rushed to the hospital in time. You always make me worry. You need to take better care of yourself.""It's okay. I know you'll take care of me." Jeremy smilingly pinched Miley's cheek."I'm being serious!" Miley grumbled and playfully poked him on the waist.Jeremy nonchalantly said, "I felt fine except for a bit of dizziness and fatigue. I'll have my secretary buy two bowls of vegetable soup—one for me and one for you. You will need it."Alyssa entered the room and joked, "Jeremy, you should get something meatier with higher iron content. Vegetable soup w

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's
