Thank you for tending to the house these past few days, Rosie," Jasper said to Rosie as he stood before her with an arm hooked around Alyssa's waist. They appeared quite like young newlyweds who had just returned from their honeymoon.Alyssa and Jasper cleverly knew not to reveal Jasper's injuries to Rosie. Rosie was old, so it was better not to make her worry.Just then, the doorbell rang.Xavier entered with two large lunch boxes. He was sweating and panting."Mr. Beckett! I've finally gotten the food you had me order from the Nouveau Table!" "The Nouveau Table? My goodness! The waiting list for that restaurant is terribly long. It takes at least three hours of waiting."Alyssa swallowed a mouthful of saliva before complaining to Jasper, "Why did you have to make things difficult for Xavier?""Because you were craving good food.""When?""Last night in your sleep," Jasper murmured in Alyssa's ear before chuckling.Alyssa blushed. "I-It was just dream talking!""Thank you

No one in the Beckett family wanted to mention that harrowing kidnapping incident.Years ago, Justin and Jasper were kidnapped by an internationally famous syndicate and kept hidden in an abandoned, filthy warehouse deep in the countryside. A huge ransom was demanded in exchange for their safe return.Jasper couldn't remember how long they were imprisoned there. It was a dingy and dirty place so dark they couldn't tell when the sun was rising or setting.He remembered being abused every single day they were held there. The kidnappers only gave them one meal daily so they wouldn't have the energy to escape. It was a living hell.Justin, who was older than Jasper by four years, ended up stalling one of the kidnappers guarding them, thus giving Jasper a chance to escape.Jasper stumbled on in the forest without so much as a glance backward. He finally rolled off a hill when his body gave out from exhaustion.Luckily, a kind-hearted hunter saved Jasper and brought him to the police a

"What right does Mr. Justin have to just demand what he wants?" Xavier said, his fists balling up. "The company wouldn't have reached its height today without you. You have shed blood, sweat, and tears to make this company great. "You nearly lost your life in an accident while supervising the development lots yourself. You haven't even begun to enjoy the fruits of your labor, so how dare Mr. Justin come back and reap what you have sowed?"So what if Mr. Javier is backing him up? You're doted on by Mr. Beckett Senior! A son has to listen to his father no matter what!""What are you going on about father and son?" Alyssa's voice rang out suddenly.Jasper quickly signaled for Xavier to be quiet. His gloomy expression switched to a warm, loving one.Alyssa walked toward them with some mugs of tea in her hands. "What are you two going on about so loudly? You sound so riled up, Xavier.""It's nothing important. He gets riled up just by watching stray mutts fight over a bone." Jasper w

Alyssa's heart clenched. With a purse of her lips, she said, "I doubt it. I've investigated Inigo's background. He used to be a mercenary and had experience personally guarding members of the royal family. He made it to where he is today with an iron fist. I don't think he's that easily killed."Plus, he wouldn't have come all the way to Solana City alone. It won't be that easy to take him out even if Jameson wanted to, right?"Jasper's words still made Alyssa worry.Jasper seemed to have picked up on this. He slowly intertwined their hands and consoled her, "Our enemy is powerful. It's okay if we don't catch them all at once. "There is still time. At the very least, we now know who to watch out for, which is a far better situation than before."What's important now is to take care of Sophia ASAP and avenge both Nina … and my mother."Jasper's voice shook slightly upon mentioning his mother. His eyes grew red with unshed tears.He did his best to control his emotions in front

"Oh my goodness, I nearly forgot!" Cyrus suddenly smacked his forehead. His eyes were glowing excitedly. "You helped us solve two murder cases before! One was by pinpointing material evidence that gave us a breakthrough, and the other was identifying mistakes in a suspect's statement, which made the criminal come clean!"Jasper stared at Alyssa in sheer awe.How could Alyssa be so phenomenal? There was no way he could catch up to her at this rate.Jasper used to think he was pretty decent. But now, he felt like a piece of used tissue paper in front of Alyssa."Looks like you still remember my achievements, Cyrus," Alyssa teased. "If it weren't for Winston, Mandy, and everyone else holding me back, I would've become a gun-slinging police officer myself. You might even be calling me Madam right now.""That's only because everyone worried you would be in danger being out on the front lines every day. They all dote on you, after all. But they still couldn't stop you in the end, no? Yo

"Arrange for Mr. Beckett to meet the suspect right away, Cyrus!" Orion instructed.Everyone was shocked.Was it that easy?"Yes, captain." Cyrus was stunned by how smoothly it went."But Jeffrey is a dangerous man. It might not be safe to see him alone, Mr. Beckett. Let Cyrus go with you," Orion said."No need," Jasper replied calmly."It's alright, Captain Holt. Mr. Beckett is far more skilled than Cyrus and Jeffrey combined," Alyssa said with a smile. "You best send more officers to watch over Jeffrey if Mr. Beckett gets angry. I fear Jeffrey might end up losing his life in the station."Alyssa couldn't let Jeffrey die before everything came to an end—not yet.…Cyrus and two officers waited outside the detention center while Alyssa and Jasper went inside to speak to Jeffrey.Some time went past before Jeffrey was lugged before them. He was cuffed and clad in prisoner's garb behind the bars."Fancy seeing you here," Jeffrey snickered and sat on the metal chair. He leered a

Jeffrey sneered but said nothing."So why don't we work together? You can testify that Sophia was the one who instructed you to kill Nina. In return, we'll make sure you return to Tsulu within the year. You saw how close my sister was to the royal family. All that's needed to get you back home safe is a kind word from my sister to the queen."Alyssa then ended her words with, "How about it, Mr. Snyder? Why don't you consider our offer?"Shock rippled in Jasper's eyes.Alyssa's attitude, consideration, and mindset were just as keen as Jasper's and the other men in the business world. In fact, many of the big leagues couldn't even compare.Jasper was fortunate Alyssa was kind at heart and that she loved him. Who knows what kind of torment Jasper would suffer from her? It must be the devastating kind.Jeffrey chuckled. He said sarcastically, "If someone else offered this deal to me today, I might actually take it up. But since it's you who's suggesting it, Ms. Alyssa, then I do not

At this moment, Jasper's phone rang. It was Xavier calling in."Mr. Beckett, everything is ready. Tonight at 7:00 pm, prime time, all the news stations will report the news of Jeffrey's arrest. I guarantee Sophia will see it.""Good."Jasper smiled in satisfaction. "After that, keep an eye on Sophia and the situation in the prison. If there's any movement, contact me and Alyssa immediately.""Yes, Mr. Beckett."Xavier hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, "Congratulations, Mr. Beckett, on reconciling with Madam. I hope you won't make her angry again. Care for her with all you can. Make up for the three years you owe her.""You—"Before Jasper could respond, Xavier quickly hung up.Jasper raised an eyebrow. That brat Xavier had grown some guts. He actually dared to hang up on Jasper.Also, what was Xavier babbling about earlier? Was he lecturing Jasper on how to do things?Alyssa cleared her throat as she blushed in embarrassment. "I didn't intentionally eavesdrop. Your

"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

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
