Chapter 1049

Author: Ginger Sue
"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

    There was a time when he was infatuated with Anne, and it was with the same unwavering gaze of deep affection."Wow, it's Mr. Landon. He's with Ms. Lauren now?" The servants were excited."This is great! Mr. Landon is hot and rich. Most importantly, he's Mr. Cornelius' eldest grandson. In the future, the entire Harper Group will be his. He can definitely protect Ms. Lauren.""That's right. Ms. Lauren won't be bullied by Betty anymore."The last sentence was deliberately whispered.But Javier, despite his age, still had sharp ears. He frowned slightly."Dad ..." Lauren called out timidly. Her expression was enough to evoke sympathy."Hi, Dad," Landon greeted with a bright and beautiful smile.He lifted the hand tightly entwined with Lauren's, intentionally showing off their affection in front of everyone. "Lauren missed you and wanted to come back to see you."Lauren's cheeks turned as red as a tomato, and she shyly leaned toward Landon.At this point, Betty had given up on en

    "Thank you for worrying about me, Landon." Javier smiled."It's not just me. There's also Lauren and Jasper. They all care about you." Landon's words were so sweet.In fact, it wasn't just to please his future father-in-law. He also wanted to gain favor for Jasper."I haven't seen Lauren in a long time. Come to my study, both of you. Let's sit down and have a good chat."With an affectionate smile, Javier gestured to Lauren. "Come, Lauren, come to me."Although Lauren communicated less with Javier as she grew up, in her memory, he was the one who loved her the most when she was a child."Dad ..."With glistening eyes, Lauren let go of Landon's hand and walked toward Javier.For some reason, when Landon saw this scene, his eyes reddened, and his nose prickled. He knew very well that, no matter how well he treated Lauren or how much he loved her, he couldn't replace the position of family in her heart.Perhaps many people could live without love, but no one could endure losing

    "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
