At the same time, the mood was tense in the general manager's office at KS Grand Hotel.Alyssa stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with her hands on her back. Her sleek figure exuded an air of power and dominance."Has anyone ever asked you to upload that video?""You wanted me to upload something that would spark controversy …" Sean stood behind her with a straight back and a glum face."Sean, you are my secretary. Not only that, we grew up together. You should have known my pet peeve!" She turned around. "You mix your personal agenda while working for me. I know what's going on. You wanted to boost my perception online—using my kindness to further highlight Betty's wrongdoing."The more she spoke, the more he lowered his head because each word went straight to his heart."But I'm telling you now. I don't need it." Her look grew icier. "I lent a helping hand because I could. It was out of moral value. No matter how much I hate Betty, I wouldn't attack her by claiming the mo

"Are you dumb? Do you not know the reason you're trending? How could you be proud of that?" Sophia berated Betty.Betty rubbed her forehead angrily. She wasn't dumb—she was just momentarily distracted when Alice trended along with her."S-So, what do I do? The scandal is bad for me. Now that everyone knows Alice saved the girl, I can't fight back against public opinion. Am I really going to be crushed by that country bumpkin?""I've talked to your dad on your behalf. He says that you should never clarify or apologize in any way. Just keep quiet about it!" Sophia said in a low voice. She continued, "Jasper will settle this for you anyway. He won't allow any threat to the Beckett Group. Just keep a low profile and ride this out. Don't do anything stupid in public. Got it?"Betty felt better after being comforted by Sophia. She hung up and continued shopping at the luxury store she owned with the two friends she met at the bar last time.At the same time, a Rolls-Royce rolled to a

"You heard her? This bitch wanted me to apologize to that hotel employee …" Betty cackled. "Did you hit your head or something?"When Betty threw her head back laughing, her two plastic girlfriends were laughing hysterically as well."Why couldn't Betty complain as a hotel guest? Her necklace was broken. And she received crappy service.""That's right! How dare you ask for an apology? Do you own the hotel? There's no end to this."Sean squinted at the ladies. He believed the two dumb women would frantically take back their words when they found out that Alyssa owned all the KS Grand Hotel branches in the country."Aren't you worried that this incident might ruin the image of Beckett Group that Jasper has carefully maintained? You might bring shame to the company." Alyssa carelessly stared at Betty."Hmph! Don't you dare threaten me. I'm not the president of the company. Why would I care?" Unbothered, Betty rolled her eyes. Betty continued, "It's Jasper's job as the president to

"Why not? I'm not sitting back and waiting to be attacked by an animal." Alyssa dusted her hands and glared at Betty."D-Did you just call me an animal?" Betty's face reddened in anger.At that moment, the door opened. Alyssa looked across and felt a chilly air swept by her.Next, she watched in shock as Jasper showed up in front of them. The ex-couple looked stunned when they locked eyes.Alyssa looked away coldly as though he was a stranger. He pursed his lips. There was a heavy look in his eyes as he wrestled the frustration deep inside."Jasper!" Betty seemed to have found her savior. Crying and wailing, she complained to him, "Alice White has gone mad! She slapped me in the face! You'll have to see to this!""Yeah, it was me. Her cheeks are probably still burning." With a smirk, Alyssa proudly admitted to slapping Betty."Why are you here?" He gave her an unfeeling look."What do you think?" In the past, Alice always stared at him with light in her eyes. She appeared to

"You jerk! Give it back!"Alyssa blushed as she leaned softly against Jasper. To keep her balance, she pressed her left hand on his broad shoulder. She moved around endlessly. Jasper wouldn't go easy on her either and retaliated with the hand on her waist.She trembled when she sensed his tightening grip on her waist that screamed possessiveness. She felt the heat from his palm through the thin fabric. Still, Jasper remained focused on the phone. His face betrayed nothing, not even lust.The onlookers were shocked when Alyssa called Jasper a jerk. They were even more astonished when Jasper seemed unbothered by the insult.At the same time, Sean was sweating profusely but couldn't find a way to drag Alyssa back. Betty gaped at the intimacy between the two, especially knowing they weren't close during their marriage. Meanwhile, the two girlfriends almost bit their manicured nails off from burning jealousy.Frowning, Jasper swiftly deleted all the vulgar photos of Betty on Alyssa's

"No, you are too arrogant. If I could, I would erase you from my life once and for all. I'd rather have never loved you."Jasper gave her a look of shock. He felt a tremor through his body. His throat was dry. She attacked him with progressively harsher remarks.When he collected himself, she had let go of his hand and wandered past him. Sean hurried after her and didn't forget to glare at Jasper on his way out. He didn't overhear the conversation between Alyssa and Jasper, but he believed that Jasper wouldn't have said anything nice."Jasper, have you deleted those photos? What a shameless bumpkin she is, threatening me with the photos. Thanks for protecting the reputation of our family!" Betty took Jasper's arm in excitement to show off their sibling relationship.Much to her dismay, Jasper appeared sullen because he was deeply affected by the words of his ex-wife. His piercing gaze swept past her face.She cowered and quickly withdrew her hand."Were the photos Photoshopped?"

Throughout the journey back home, Alyssa did not utter a word. She looked spent, just like a broken robot.Jasper's unforgiving words felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her. She was shaking in rage from head to toe. Why had she never noticed that shameless and vile side of him?Love might not guarantee happiness, but it would certainly turn you blind. "Ms. Alyssa, I have played the video per your instruction. Look, Betty is fighting her two friends!" Sean showed her the video on a phone screen.She glanced at the screen and saw the three women clawing at each other in a horrible catfight."Tsk tsk. Cat fights are the worst. Ms. Betty is doing pretty well. She's still holding up even when she's fighting the two of them. It's a pity she didn't train for wrestling." Sean chuckled with glee."Hmph. They're slapping each other and pulling each other's hair. Nothing interesting about those amateur moves."Despite that, Alyssa couldn't take her eyes off the scree

Jasper lifted a brow as his expression darkened. Before this, he might have been a little moody, but he was truly angered at that moment.…Jasper was called to Javier's study after he changed into a fresh outfit."Daddy! You have to help me out! Poor me …" Betty hugged her dad and cried her heart out. Her tear-stained face was full of injuries from her catfight with her two friends in the afternoon. Even her lips were chapped. She looked pitiable.Seated on the couch, Javier hurriedly consoled his daughter. She looked like a mess, unlike her usual well-presented self. "Jasper's home. I'll ask him about it.""The scandal is getting out of hand. I got a few calls asking about Betty. I honestly didn't know what to say." Sophia teared up upon mentioning her beloved daughter. "People are cursing Betty out online. How can she ever show up in public? How will the other elites in Solana City think of us?""Sophie, don't worry. I will not let them bully my daughter." Frowning, Javier had

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

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa

Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

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
