Chapter 1047

Author: Ginger Sue
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

    That night at 7:00 pm, all the news channels reported the news of the shooting incident. If it wasn't the first piece of news, it was still the second.The footage of Jeffrey's arrest was exposed. In the video provided by Jasper to the media, Jeffrey's face was not even blurred. It was boldly presented to the public.Simultaneously, the news of the innocent girl who lost her life in the shooting spread like wildfire, causing a public outcry.Citizens flooded the comment sections on the TV station's official website and Twitter, condemning Jeffrey's heinous actions."Solana City is known as the safest city in the country, but a shooting incident actually happened! It's surreal!""This Jeffrey Snyder is heartless! Ruthless! Worse than an animal! I hope the law severely punishes this villain and brings justice to the innocent girl. Don't disappoint us.""Usually, in the news, the photos of victims are exposed, while the faces of criminals are often blurred. That's just weird! This t

    Alyssa was good at manipulating public opinion to incite emotions among netizens. With just a little effort, it could have a significant impact."Sean, I'm really sorry. I know you're still in recovery, but I had to trouble you. You've been handling the PR side, so you understand the entire process the best. You work the fastest, so I can only—""Ms. Alyssa, please don't say that."Sean was very serious yet gentle. "No matter when or what happens, please remember, I have your back.""Sean ..." Alyssa choked up.It might be because she had recently been too deeply immersed in love, but she seemed to be getting softer as she aged. She found herself on the verge of tears at the slightest emotional trigger.Blame it on Jasper for turning her iron-heartedness into tender emotions."Besides, I'm bored to death in this sanatorium. Please find something for me to do. I'm afraid I'll get early-onset dementia.""I heard Taty goes to take care of you when she's free. Why are you still bor

    At this moment, in Seaview Manor, all the servants of the Beckett family had learned about the ins and outs of the Jeffrey case through the television and their phones. They were all in a state of shock, and discussions were buzzing."Jeffrey Snyder? Madam Sophia's assistant, Jeffrey?""Yes, him! Whenever I saw that guy, I would get goosebumps. He looked sinister. It turns out he's really a villain.""Oh, my God. Nina ... Poor Nina! Such a good girl, gone just like that."The servants shed tears, and sobs echoed."Nina's death is partially Sophia's responsibility. How could she keep such a dangerous person at home? She's too selfish. Don't our lives matter?" someone said indignantly."Has the noble Madam Sophia ever considered us humans?"One maid who was close to Nina exclaimed, "She and Betty are simply evil capitalists! They always bullied Nina. Sometimes, she was forced to work late at night."Once, I saw bruises all over her arms when she changed clothes. I asked if she wa

    A deep and authoritative voice echoed from behind, and the chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.Everyone froze for a moment, then quickly bowed. "Mr. Javier.""Dad?" Betty was momentarily flustered, standing there awkwardly.It was only then that she noticed that Javier and Rory had appeared behind her.She had thought Javier was away on a business trip. How did he suddenly return?"What were you doing just now? Did you hit someone?" Javier questioned sternly, his eyes showing a hint of anger."Dad ... Please listen to me. It's all these servants' fault!"Betty immediately changed her expression to a pitiful one. She then ran over to hug Javier's arm like an innocent bunny."They were talking behind my back and Mom's back. They're so disrespectful and out of line! We pay them, but they don't even have basic professional ethics! Please, just fire them.""Is that the reason why you resorted to violence?"Javier ignored her complaints and continued with a serious face. "Just beca

    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.

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
