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

"It's no big deal. What good am I if I can't even help you with this?" Jeremy looked a little bashful when Alyssa thanked him profusely.At that moment, he received a call from the Tsulian king, which he immediately answered. During the call, his expression turned somber, worrying Alyssa.After Jeremy hung up, Miley quickly asked, "Jeremy, is there a problem?""Inigo is no longer in Tsulu. He left the country," Jeremy replied flatly with a deep look."He left? Did he escape through the night after he received a tip-off?" Alyssa wondered aloud with furrowed brows."No. He has always been in Cyrris, long before the attack occurred.""Where in Cyrris?" Alyssa gasped."Solana City."Hearing that, Alyssa was left dumbstruck. She rolled her fists, recalling what Jonah had shared with her. Before the attack, Jasper had revealed to Jonah that forces in Solana City had conspired with the Tsulian authorities, and he was 90 percent sure about the identity of the mastermind in Solana City.

Alyssa was appalled. She could not wrap her head around the fact that the criminal Jeremy had mentioned was the same gentleman who took great care of her. Jameson turned out to be a real-life Jekyll and Hyde."Not only that, Jameson Schmidt once attempted to rig the presidential elections." Miley looked traumatized when she recalled the incident and gripped Jermey's hand tightly. "He resorted to underhanded tactics to manipulate the narrative around Jeremy. "Thankfully, Jeremy's opponents did not manage to find dirt on him because he had a clean record. Otherwise, Jeremy would be behind bars by now."Inhaling sharply, Alyssa turned cold from head to toe. She exclaimed, "Since when has Jameson turned into a monster? How did he …""Kontina's society is pretty complex. As Jameson is not a local, he had to play dirty to establish himself. After all, the primitive accumulation of capital always comes with violence."Nevertheless, he has crossed a line. If he does not observe basic soc

The look in Jameson's eyes was best described as sinister, like an evil spirit from hell."Don't stare at me like that! I wouldn't have done this to a friend. I had no choice but to do this to you because you're manipulative and fickle!" Shuddering, Inigo clenched his jaw and added, "Years of friendship taught me that you are a merciless man. I will have to look out for myself.""Do you really have the recording?" Jameson squinted and drawled."Hah! Scared, aren't you?" Inigo chuckled gleefully. "It doesn't make sense for me to carry it around. Of course, I have it saved somewhere secure. Lay a finger on me, and I will make the recording public."Jameson asked coldly, "So, what are your demands?" He never beat around the bush in negotiations."Get me a private jet. Send my men and I abroad. I'll need enough money, too! Do you know how much trouble I went through to deal with those two guys? You shouldn't be stingy.""How much would you need?""A hundred million dollars, transfer

After Jasper sailed through the observation period without major issues, he was finally allowed to be transferred out of the ICU, much to everyone's relief.A week had passed since he received the emergency operation. During the week, Alyssa rooted herself by his side, not leaving even once, as though her life relied on him.She woke up by his bed when dawn broke and fell asleep at the same place at night. As Jasper was in a deep coma, he relied on the IV drip to sustain his life. Due to his worrying condition, Alyssa lost weight and looked exhausted out of worry.Her siblings were concerned about her health, but there was nothing they could do. They were well aware that she would continue languishing if Jasper remained in a coma, just like a flower slowly wilting.…One night, with Jonah and Axel's help, Alyssa proceeded to clean Jasper's body.From her marriage to Jasper, she remembered that he was fastidious about cleanliness, a clean freak who wouldn't wear a suit if the su

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli
