Chapter 1028

Author: Ginger Sue
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

I swear! Alyssa, your own family is telling you Jameson is bad and yet you still want to hear it from him! WTH! Get rid of him and stay with Jasper. You love him and yet you’re being stubborn! Ugh! Women like that

    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

    "I'm your brother, for heaven's sake! How could you go physical on me? You nearly broke my ribs," Axel grumbled and pouted. He'd never show this side of his character to anyone but his brother.Jonah remarked, "That was a punishment for running your mouth. Hope you learned your lesson.""Gosh. I was joking. Don't you have a sense of humor?" Then, Axel stole a glance at his crotch and scoffed unhappily. Like any man, he was oddly competitive over everything."By the way, isn't Lyse bored out of the mind, staying by Jasper's side? She doesn't eat, drink, sleep, or check her phone at all," Axel asked with curiosity."No. You'll never be bored when you stay by your lover's side."Axel frowned at the reply. "I don't get it …""Axel, we've always felt you were the smartest amongst the few of us, but you're slow when it comes to matters of the heart. I bet you still can't grasp the meaning of being deeply in love with someone," Jonah commented.With that, he lapsed into deep though

    Alyssa rubbed her eyes hard and stared at Jasper's hand. She harbored a suspicion that Jasper's movement was an illusion due to her fatigue.Still, she called out tentatively in a trembling voice, "Jasper? Jasper? Can you hear me? Move your fingers if you can. Jasper Beckett!""Lyse …" he uttered weakly.His feeble voice was deafening in the silent room. Elated, Alyssa asked, "Jasper, are you awake? Can you hear me? Jasper?"His pale lips trembled a little as he called out her name again like a murmur in a dream. Even in his dreams, Alyssa was the only thing in his mind.As tears rolled down her face, she responded, "I'm here!"Right then, he slowly unfurled his fingers and interlocked them with hers. Once a symbol of courage and strength, he had always offered her protection, but he now struggled with the simplest of movements."What … did you … write … on my palm?" he questioned.Her face flushed instantly.He pressed on, eyes full of anticipation, "I don't … want you … to w

    It took Jasper only half a month to wake up from his coma after receiving emergency medical treatment, which was remarkable. Any ordinary patient would have lost the battle in the operating room, and even if they survived, it might take them longer to wake up from the coma.After Jasper was awake, Julien assessed his condition and attributed Jasper's quick recovery to his exceptional physique and military background.In the morning, Alyssa accompanied Jasper to complete some medical checkups. Throughout the process, he behaved well, like a child who attended medical appointments with his mother. He cooperated well without a word of complaint."Have you ever seen Lyse behaving so motherly and saint-like? I nearly prayed to her." Axel clicked his tongue.He shot an envious look at the wheelchair-bound Jasper as Alyssa draped a blanket over the latter. He added, "I guess Lyse is no longer one of us. Her brothers don't matter anymore now that she has a man. She won't take a look at us

    It was a good thing that Silas was not around, or else the trio would have made such a scene.Axel taunted bitterly, "No, of course not. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Mr. Beckett, as he's the family favorite now."Jonah said, "That's enough, Axel."Alyssa sighed helplessly. "Axel, I can already picture how you will treat your future wife. Are you going to nag her for a full day if she takes as much as a look at other men?""Not only that, I'll punish her in bed to the point that she won't be able to get out of bed for three days."Everyone was rendered speechless by Axel's bold answer.Jasper smiled, cheered up by the interaction among the siblings. He would be jealous of Alyssa's exchange with her brothers in the past, but he had since learned to be comfortable with the Taylor siblings' ways of expressing their love for Alyssa.All he needed to do was to be understanding and get along with it. People always said that those who were deep in love would lose their se

    "Lyse, you shouldn't worry too much. The trip from Tsulu to Solana City is only five hours, and the private jet comes with first-aid equipment. It will be fine."Julien proudly lifted his chin. "That's right! What's there to worry about with a famous doctor like me on board?"Landon teased, "You will never beat Lyse in terms of fame."Frowning, Julien wondered, "What's that supposed to mean?""She's Dr. White. Did you not know?"Following the revelation, Julien stared agape at Alyssa, who seemed unfazed. He turned to the others and realized they did not react to the news at all.Was he the only one oblivious to Alyssa's identity? Had he been showing off in front of the true master without knowing it?Freezing up, he stiffly turned his back to the others and held the wall, his head hung low. Landon scratched his head, puzzled. "What's wrong with him?"Axel crossed his arms on his chest, replying, "No idea. I guess he's in despair because Lyse is too great of a doctor."…The n

    Jasper's heart sank. After multiple exchanges with Jameson, he gained a better understanding of Jameson's character than Alyssa.Unlike Alyssa, he had no lingering sentiment for Jameson from childhood. He knew Jameson was a vindictive man and a ruthless one at that. In other words, Jameson was petty and extreme in his revenge."A relationship devoid of integrity is inherently meaningless," Jonah expressed, showing his concern for Alyssa. "The idea of you with Jameson filled me with worry because he has no principles and would do anything to get his way. "Who knows if he'd do the same to you? Lyse, you're my beloved sister. I cannot risk letting you date a problematic man."Alyssa teared up at Jonah's genuine brotherly love for her. "Jonah …"He gently stroked her hair and turned to address Jasper, "Mr. Beckett, why didn't you tell me it was Jameson Schmidt's doing when we were on Shelland Island? If you had done so, we could have found a way to exploit his weakness."With a long

    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
