Chapter 1079

Author: Ginger Sue
Alyssa had her back facing Jameson. She didn't say a single word.

She had trouble untangling her messy thoughts. As she was about to enter the house, the door opened.

"Mandy?" Alyssa was shocked to see Mandy come out.

Mandy smiled at her. Her face turned glum when she looked at Jameson. "Mr. Jameson, my husband wants to see you. Please."

"What did you say? Dad wants to see him?"

Alyssa's eyes widened. She tried her best to calm herself down. "He is sick. What is he trying to do?"

Helplessness swirled in Mandy's eyes. "Your dad asked for this, so I am merely relaying the message."

"Thank you for inviting me in personally, Mrs. Taylor."

Jameson subtly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and a dark glint flickered in his eyes. An unconscious smile graced his lips.

After Jameson entered Heightsnew Villa, Mandy escorted him to the study to meet Winston.

The Taylors usually entertained guests in the guest room or parlor. After all, to a man, the study was as sacred and private as

    "You're awake, Lyse." Jasper's voice was gentle and coy. She could practically get pregnant with that voice in her ear.Yet, she felt oddly secure."I'm not tired." Alyssa got up and went to the balcony. She looked up at the moon in the warm evening breeze."Are you finding it hard to sleep after leaving me? No one is there to cuddle with you." Jasper chuckled."Pfft, of course not! A man does not consume my everything." Alyssa's face was burning up, but she was stubborn with her words."But Lyse, you are my everything."Her heart beat wildly at Jasper's sudden declaration of affection. She felt her body was burning up and was about to reach boiling point.She missed him so much.She had been fine without the call. Now that she had heard his voice, she longed for him endlessly."What did you do today?" She switched the topic."Apart from breathing, every second was dedicated to thinking about you.""Jasper, it's fine to sweet talk. But too much of it is like having too much

They had to take up this responsibility.Then, Mandy asked Julien to come over and manage Winston's medical condition.Alyssa was an excellent surgeon. However, Julien was an expert in neurology.After a series of checks, Julien held the CT scan and patiently explained it to Alyssa and the rest. The Taylors surrounded him and listened to him attentively.Jonah was the only one standing furthest from the group, upright and tall. He glanced lightly at Julien in a white coat, explaining with a straight face to the patient's family.A subtle gleam sparkled in his eyes, and a faint smile adorned his lips, reminiscent

    Alyssa casually took a sip of water and suggested, "Why don't you attend the horse racing event with Lyla?"Caught by surprise, Winston had not anticipated the request from his daughter. Lyla immediately explained as she blushed in nervousness, "L-Lyse, I turn down these social events because they give me the jitters. I'm not good at small talk and might make blunders. It might be better if Mandy attends. Colene could be an excellent choice as well."Alyssa poked through the lie, "But you seemed quite happy when you attended mass. It was crowded there, too.""I …" Lyla pressed her lips until they paled."Winston, bring Lyla with you. I can't possibly attend the race with you every single year. The media will make an issue out of it again," Mandy advised after seemingly catching onto Alyssa's plan.Winston furrowed his brows and looked at Lyla deeply. He inquired in a hushed voice, "Lyla, are you upset?"Lyla shook her head vehemently.He gently took her trembling hands under the

    On the other hand, Jasper suppressed news of Jeffrey Snyder receiving medical treatment, and the prisoner who had attacked Jeffrey was under arrest as well.Not long after, Xavier received a call from the warden, who exclaimed, "Mr. Beckett's foresight is amazing! I've had people secretly poke around about Jeffrey Snyder these two days. I did what Mr. Beckett instructed and released the news of Jeffrey Snyder's death from the prisoner attack.""That's great. Thank you for your help. Mr. Beckett will reward you handsomely for it," Xavier replied, after which he relayed the updates to Jasper.Sitting in his office, Jasper was lost in thoughts while he stared at his lock screen background, which he had set to a photo of a bare-faced Alyssa sunbathing on the balcony when they were living together.He couldn't help but smile tenderly as he traced her profile."Wow! Madam is so pretty. No one would be able to resist her charm!" Xavier craned his neck and admired Alyssa's photo with exci

    Sophia stroked Betty's hand, praising her, "You're the best. You did well in this matter. I will have to thank you."Betty's voice turned icy. She wondered, "Mom, do you remember your promise to me?"After a pause, Sophia groped her way to the drawer by the headboard in the dark and took out a leather envelope, which she tossed to Betty.Betty immediately picked up and held the envelope to her chest, asking, "Mom, what's this?""Take a look after this.""I can't wait any longer!" Betty shot up and left the room without another word.Sophia suddenly stopped her. "Wait.""Anything else?"Sophia shot her a disdainful and confused look. "I do not understand why you're hell-bent on ruining your sister's marriage. Is it to get back at Landon because he's not into you? Even if you ruined their relationship, he will not take an interest in you. Don't ever dream of marrying him.""Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. All I wanted was revenge." Betty clutched the envelope tightly as a sc

    Finally, it was the day of the annual horse racing event. Every year, the members of esteemed families from across the nation would congregate at the event, which would be live-streamed on national TV stations. Even foreign royalty would be in attendance, further adding to the merriment.Each year, a selected distinguished family would host the event, and it was the Schmidt family's turn this year.The venue was set to be Eastbrooke Racecourse, built just half a year ago. Victor couldn't contain his excitement at the prospect of the racecourse holding its inaugural large-scale event even before its public opening—a good omen and brilliant marketing for the racecourse.On the other hand, Newton Beckett had skipped events like these due to his old age. Javier was attending with Sophia this year. Meanwhile, Jasper would arrive at the event separately.When it was time to leave, Betty hurriedly strutted out in her high heels while clad in a sexy bodycon pink dress. Her inappropriate an

    "They're nothing without their families. They cannot hold a candle to Alyssa Taylor at all!"One married lady suddenly interjected sarcastically, "What's the point of having multiple careers? At the end of the day, Alyssa Taylor is nothing more than a divorcee who's dumped by Jasper Beckett."Two young ladies, who had been chatting with each other, rolled their eyes at the married woman. "Ms. Alyssa is the only daughter of Winston Taylor with his first wife. She's the real princess of the Taylor family. I guess you're just envious of her.""What type of outdated mentality was that? A divorced woman is not worthless. I'd even say that marriage is just a burden for rich and powerful women.""Absolutely! By the way, didn't you watch the interview last time? Jasper Beckett admitted that he had cheated on Alyssa Taylor. So, why would she keep a cheater around? She must have dumped him over the affair."Upset, the married woman held her tongue and seethed in silence without another word

    "And who might that someone be?" Cornelius asked, his brows furrowing with discontent."Who else can she be? It's Sophia Kirkman's second daughter, Lauren Beckett," Zoe grabbed the chance to tell on Landon.She casually teased, "Landon hasn't been home lately. He's built a love nest with Ms. Lauren out there, where they spend most of their time. The last time Mom was sick, I was the one who got her to the hospital. I guess Landon's put his family behind even before marrying Ms. Lauren.""Zoe, can you please stop?" Penelope mumbled, not because she wanted to protect Lauren. She worried that Cornelius might be upset at Landon.Preston grinned, remarking, "Ms. Lauren must be a stunning beauty. Knowing Landon, he's never been so serious with any woman. From the sounds of it, Ms. Lauren has won his heart.""My grandson falling for Sophia Kirkman's daughter? Ridiculous!" Nostrils blaring, Cornelius tapped his walking stick on the ground. "Why are they living together before marriage? Is

    When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based. Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness. A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray."Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest—you won't find her no matter ho

    Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent. "Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly."Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much. As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore."I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!" With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone. "Ambs…"Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device. Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on. "What's the password?" Jasper asked g

    "Five times more potent than the previous version? Are you sure it's safe for Remy to consume this?" Sheryl picked up the pill, unease flickering across her face. As much as she despised Remy, she couldn't deny his prowess as a fighter and his value as Justin's right-hand man. Having him around would certainly ease Justin's workload, prompting her to double-check."It won't kill him, but it won't be pleasant either. Don't worry—it's temporary," Justin replied, a sinister smile curling his lips. He continued nonchalantly, "When he takes the pill, his adrenaline will spike, flooding him with energy while his muscles tense. He'll feel both pain and euphoria. Then, it will fade, leaving him dependent on the drug moving forward." The implication was clear to Sheryl. Justin intended to control Remy through addiction. "Remy wasn't born for the shadows," Justin continued, his gaze darkened. "He's just a victim of post-traumatic amnesia, his nervous system subdued with sedatives and anes

    "Got it, Mr. Harper!" Harper Group's subordinates acknowledged before swiftly dispersing. "I'm going to search for Amber too," Alyssa said, turning to leave.Jasper caught her arm. "It's freezing. Go wait in the car." Landon chimed in, "Lyse, listen to Jasper. Just wait in the car. We'll search for Amber.""No—I have to come too!" Alyssa sniffled. The sharp wind stung her face, leaving her nose raw and crimson, her eyes watering until they puffed into tender, swollen crescents. "Amber's in trouble because of me. I was careless—it's all my fault!""Lyse…" Landon's heart sank at her remorseful expression.Jasper's gaze softened as he studied Alyssa's pale face. "Her disappearance isn't your fault."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes as she shook her head. "Amber means everything to Axel. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to face him. I don't deserve to be his sister. Please, let me come with you."Jasper and Landon failed to dissuade her. Reluctantly, they agreed. Alyssa

    After studying Sheryl for a moment, Remy turned and left."M-Ms. Gillis, are you okay?" One of Sheryl's subordinates came forward to help her up."Useless bastard! Why didn't you step in when he hit me earlier?" Sheryl's voice trembled with fury as her gaze fell on the crimson stains marring the pristine snow.Stammering, the subordinate replied, "R-Remy acted too quickly. Everyone in the organization knows how good of a fighter he is. None of us stood a chance against him!""S-Something wasn't right about him tonight." Sheryl watched Remy's retreating figure disappear into the distance, her voice dropping to a menacing murmur. "I need to report this to Mr. Justin in person immediately."Inside his car, Remy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands but made no move to drive.Closing his eyes, he felt a suffocating sensation rise in his throat, as though he were drowning in an endless, hopeless sea. He was just a speck, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.A shar

    With a piercing gaze, Sheryl glared at Remy, who stood in front of her car with an air of frigidity around him. The temptation to ram her car into the crestfallen man was almost irresistible, but she didn't dare. Remy was Justin's right-hand man, and even her audacity had limits. Instead, Sheryl pulled her white coat snugly around her, stepped out of the car with feigned composure, and strode toward him. Hostility crackled between them as their eyes locked.Sheryl broke the silence. "Remy, is there nothing you'd like to update me about?" she asked with a sinister look in her eyes. Stiffly, Remy asked, "Where did you take that woman?" "How shameless of you to question me. Mr. Justin was wise to send me as backup. Otherwise, Amber would have escaped without a trace!"Gritting her teeth, Sheryl took a step closer to Remy. "Is this how you handle tasks entrusted by Mr. Justin? The unstoppable Remy, brought to his knees by a wild brat? Or did you let her go intentionally? Are yo

    "Jameson and Carl have been eliminated. Who else could be targeting Amber?"A sharp glint flashed in Jasper's eyes as a thought struck him. "Could it be Justin or Sheryl?" he asked, his voice low and tense.He recalled seeing Justin in the living room earlier that evening, wide awake instead of resting. Was Justin waiting for something? Or perhaps, provoking him in subtle defiance?"They are the only ones I can think of with a grudge against Amber." Alyssa's anxiousness made her voice tremble. "Having worked for Jameson for years, Amber must have visited Mosgravia multiple times to meet with Sir—who is, in fact, Justin. "Justin wouldn't have met anyone else besides Jameson. But how could he leave no trace after all those interactions? Amber must have figured out his true identity. And Justin—he must have realized who she is, even with her changed appearance."Jasper's expression darkened. "So he decided to eliminate her as a precaution."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes, threaten

    Searching for Amber without direction would be pointless. Jasper made a swift decision to bring Alyssa back to the manor, shielding her from the relentless chill of the wind. Once inside, he immediately began organizing the search. He deployed his men and contacted Landon, requesting additional support.The two of them sat together on the couch.This time, there was no space between them. It was as though an invisible force drew them closer, their proximity feeling natural yet electric. Neither could say who had moved first.Alyssa, however, was in no mood to dwell on their closeness. Wrapped in her down jacket, she curled up on the couch, her arms hugging herself tightly. A quiet frostiness emanated from her as she sat in silence, listening to Jasper's calm and methodical calls to mobilize his team.In the past, his composed presence would have been enough to ease her mind. But now, her thoughts were a tangled mess, each one like a razor claw tearing at her heart. The pain was u

    "Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her." Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?" "There wasn't one." Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze."You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face."Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!" Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away. Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face. She was teetering on the edge of madness."Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"…Jasper drove to
