Chapter 1105

Author: Ginger Sue
The Jesseltons' arrival introduced a subtle change to the social dynamics. Javier and the Harpers reacted to the new guests with enthusiasm, though they did not grovel at Ezzo Jesselton as they were on par in social standing. Still, they accorded the Jesseltons much more interest and respect.

Jasper was the only one who did not respond to the Jesseltons. Sitting like a statue beside Javier, he cast a passionate look at his lover. Alyssa, engaged in a conversation with Winston, wore a serious expression, oblivious to Jasper's longing gaze.

Suddenly, Jasper felt a chill when Jameson, holding a champagne flute, leaned forward to obstruct his view of Alyssa.

Next, Jameson slowly turned around to face Jasper with a smirk and raised the champagne flute at him.

Jasper froze from head to toe, tightening his grip on his wine glass in rage. Jameson arched a brow and leisurely took a sip of the wine, a clear act of provocation.

Jasper held his breath and unknowingly broke the glass in his ha

    Alyssa leaned forward, jolted from the emotional turmoil.Suddenly, Winston growled sternly, "Alyssa Taylor, what do you plan to do?" She sensed pressure and turned to look at her father.Winston accused, "Are you going to confront Zoe Harper over a man? I hope you're not as shameless as that woman. Do not make me lose my respect for you, and don't bring shame to our family!"Alyssa pressed her lips tightly together. Jameson, happy at Winston's intervention, grinned as he downed the champagne in his flute.Just when Zoe was about to touch Jasper, he stood up without warning, causing her to lose her balance and fall on her butt. The Harpers' bodyguards went up to help Zoe. However, it only added further humiliation as she attracted unwanted attention from the other guests.Jasper glared daggers at Zoe. "Ms. Zoe, please behave." His warning clapped like a frightening thunder.Alyssa quietly smiled when Jasper distanced himself from Zoe, her heart dripping with honey. No other man

    Alyssa stood out as the most attractive and dazzling female among the young ladies from the four distinguished families and possibly even across the nation.From the moment Zeke stepped into the venue, his gaze remained fixated on Alyssa, the charming Cyrrisian lady."You bitch! Who do you think you are—proposing a toast to the Jesseltons? Do they even know you?"Much to Betty's chagrin, Ezzo nodded approvingly and raised his glass toward Alyssa. He chirped, "Alexa, today I learned that you are the daughter of the KS Group president. How many more surprises do you have in store for me? This is not our first meeting anyway. Do skip the formalities."Everyone was taken aback by Alyssa's friendship with the Mosgravian tycoon Ezzo Jesselton, including Javier, who grew uneasy. When Alyssa married Jasper, she concealed her identity, including her multiple careers, never once leveraging her influence for Jasper or the Beckett family.Now that she was divorced, she seemed to enjoy going a

    Jasper's public act of chivalry proved to the guests that Alyssa was the only love of his life. Zoe Harper meant nothing to him at all.Jameson clenched his fists, his body tensing. Why was he always a step slower than Jasper Beckett? Why did that scoundrel always manage to be in the place beside Alyssa?Zeke looked visibly upset, but he maintained a smile. "It's the Cyrrisian culture to protect the ladies. Mr. Beckett, you're indeed a gentleman for taking care of Ms. Alyssa. Compared to you, I appear a little too rash. I was wrong to disregard Ms. Alyssa's feelings. For that, I'll drink as a penalty."After that, Zeke downed a glass of champagne. Jasper studied him with a knowing gaze as he confidently downed his drink as well. The timely applause from the audience alleviated the tension, but Javier wore a discontented expression.Betty couldn't help but scoff. "Dad, what's Jasper thinking? Zeke Jesselton clearly has an interest in Alyssa, so why is he coming between them? He's on

    Jasper might be tacit and reserved, but he always managed to surprise at crucial moments.Alyssa squinted at him, and when no one was watching, she softly elbowed him. Her scent that wafted in his direction made him blush as he pressed his lips. She covered her laugh when she saw his reddened cheeks. Jasper was like a naïve schoolboy.His shyness was a stark contrast to his behavior in bed at night, where he devoured her like a predator."Sophie, just finish a drink. A few sips should be enough," Javier told Sophia.With a glint in his eyes, he lowered his voice and warned, "Don't be a party pooper."Sophia felt her chest tighten. She stiffly raised her glass and downed the contents. Even Betty silently worried for her mom, who acted as though she was drinking poison.Jameson keenly observed the interaction between Alyssa and Jasper, feeling as though they were onto something. However, he had no idea what was going on.Zeke took his seat beside Ezzo, clenching his jaw and lookin

    "Dr. McAllister, you promised to hand me the syringes at the horseracing event, didn't you?" Eyes wide open, Sophia pressed on, "You're not going against your word, are you? Will I see you today?"Tristan chuckled. "Why? Do you miss me?" His question was loaded with mockery instead of flirting."Dr. McAllister … Tristan! I miss you. I miss you like crazy!" Sophia called out to him urgently.All she wanted was the miraculous pill in his hands. She would give up anything, including her dignity for that."After the race ends, make your way to the lounge at Racecourse No. 2 by yourself. It will be deserted as everyone else will be at Racecourse No. 1. I'll meet you there."Nodding fervently, Sophia looked excited as she promised, "Sure! I will be there!"…After the fascinating opening ceremony performances, the race kicked off.There were two notable events at the annual horseracing event, with one being the All-Horse Parade. To show off their wealth, the distinguished families wo

    "A million?" Victor guessed."Ten million," Jonah revealed.Jonah, born into wealth, seemed to have an unusual definition of a small sum of money.Victor, cheered up by Jonah's lone support, said, "Thank you for your support, Jonah!""Pfft. Careful not to lose your shirt." Winston did not hold back when he addressed his son.Jameson asked softly, "Lyse, which horse will you bet on?"Without looking at him, Alyssa said flatly, "I'm not betting. It's best to stay away from gambling."With Alyssa remaining hostile to him, Jameson tried to shrug it off and turned to speak to Winston instead. "Uncle Winston, I'll join in on the fun too. I am betting on Blaze from KS Group. Just like Mr. Jonah, I'm putting down ten million."Victor nodded approvingly at his youngest son's move."Not bad, Jimmy. You've got good taste. At least, you're better than my son," Winston remarked with a smile.Once again, Jameson had scored points with Winston."Well, this is just entertainment. What matte

    Jasper and Alyssa might have only exchanged glances without a word, but everyone felt the affection between them. No words were needed when two people were in love. The way they looked at each other and their actions were proof.Victor frowned and turned to Winston, who appeared equally troubled. Alyssa grumbled at Jasper, "Fine! I don't care. You're an ATM yourself, so bet however much you'd like." She turned away with a faint smile.Meanwhile, Jameson was fuming because he had been ignored. Jasper noticed the change on Jameson's exquisite face, giving off a devilish feeling.Instead of feeling triumphant, Jasper worried that Jameson might be scheming again, and he didn't want to see Alyssa hurt. So, he closely followed behind her, offering her protection, as dependable as a rock.The tycoons had placed their bets by now. Landon didn't bet on the Becketts' or the Taylors' horses. He took Lauren's suggestion and bet on a shiny racehorse that didn't seem very competitive, all beca

    Still, Javier confidently addressed Ezzo, "Mr. Ezzo, the Beckett Group owns our racecourses in Solana City and other cities. We're considered the most experienced in developing racecourses."Hearing that, Cornelius scoffed under his breath. "Pfft. That's very cocky of him."Victor could no longer hold back and opined, "Mr. Javier, the Beckett Group indeed owns racecourses, but it's an overstatement to claim that you're the most experienced in building one. We're the host of the horseracing event this year. You do know that this is the largest racecourse in Solana City, don't you?"Javier calmly argued, "That's because it's built new. Back in the day, the Beckett Group was unrivaled."Equally irked, Victor countered with an example of Winston's, "The KS Group built its racecourse 30 years ago. Not only was it the largest in the country, but it is also the only racecourse in Belbanks until today. Quite a stretch to say that you're the most experienced in racecourse building when Wins

    "Amber will be fine," Jasper said confidently. "Based on Justin's way of doing things, he won't harm her for now. She's still useful t o him. He'll exploit her to control you and Alyssa, and to keep me from taking him down."Gripping Jasper's arm, Axel pleaded, "Jasper, I have to save my wife… What should I do?" His eyes were red, brimming with unshed tears.Steadying his breath, Jasper replied, "Even if it comes to killing Justin, it shouldn't be your hands that get dirty. I'll do it.""Are you kidding me? If we're taking that bastard down, we do it together!" Axel's expression was fierce and unyielding. "We went through the same military academy. We have to fight side by side!""Justin is my older brother. It's my family's matter to handle. And don't think I'm doing this for your sake—I have my own reasons."After a moment of silence, Jasper's voice softened. "I came to see you today for another reason. When you get home, don't blame Lyse. She's been torturing herself with g

    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
