Chapter 1142

Author: Ginger Sue
While Ezzo was hesitating, Jasper interjected in a deep and fierce voice, "Mr. Cornelius and Preston, are you both considering taking the opportunity to escape?

"The Harper Group is infamous out there. As it turns out, it seems like you are all just cowards who aren't willing to take responsibility."

"Cowards? Who are you referring to, Jasper? Explain yourself!" Preston shouted. His face turned red with fury.

Everyone was shocked. They were gobsmacked!

It was one thing for Winston to tell Sophia off. For one, she did indeed deserve the scolding. Additionally, he was pretty much on the same level as Javier, although some would say he was a big shot with a net worth higher than the Beckett Group.

He was getting anxious. He even rebuked Javier. Who would dare to stop him?

But, as someone younger, Jasper didn't have the guts to do so. If he did, how would he continue being friendly with the Harpers? Wouldn't he be afraid that the Harpers would start plotting against him?

    The Taylors were also enraged. They were about to lash out when someone else reacted even more strongly than they did. Jasper's muscular shoulders were tense. Blood rushed to his eyes, and he curled his fingers inward into fists so tightly that his veins were popping. He was about to rush forward to give Preston a lesson when a warm hand clasped around his fist. "Jasper, don't." Jasper held his breath. He looked into Alyssa's eyes, which were as bright as the stars. He felt as if he was being immersed in clear mountain springs and found himself calming down gradually. Alyssa stepped forward and sniggered, "Mr. Preston, there is nothing for you to worry about since Jasper is the one handling it. He will definitely not let any guilty persons off the hook and will not accuse anyone who is innocent." With what she just said, it was evident that she was still claiming that Harper Group was in the wrong! "As for Mr. Horatio, he claimed that Jasper was framing your family as per

    "Everyone, aren't you curious about what was just sent to all of you?" With a deep look in his eyes, Jasper squinted. He had a playful look on his face that made everyone's heart race. The people in the crowd looked at one another as they retrieved their phones to have a look. Alyssa, too, was dying of curiosity. She also took out her cell and opened Twitter. In the next second, her eyes widened, and her heart rate increased. The entire competition was streamed live at such a grand horse racing event. Thus, the scene where she fell off her horse at the finish line was spreading like wildfire on the internet. The netizens were concerned about Alyssa's injury. However, they had all assumed that it was a mere accident. No one imagined that it was a setup. Lo and behold, the video that appeared on the internet unexpectedly revealed a big surprise to everyone! "What … What is this?" Cornelius's vision was blurry, so he wasn't able to get a good view of what had happened in the

    The horse racing contestant was flattered and nodded hard. He looked at everyone seriously."I am a horse racing contestant representing the Lanchester Corporation. Our corporation's horses were placed opposite the KS Group after they entered the stable. Our boss likes to stand in the horse's perspective and observe their daily lives. It is his favorite pastime."So, my boss would install a small camera on the headgear of each horse. In this special circumstance today, our boss is afraid something will happen to his beloved horse. So, he made sure to switch the camera to a higher resolution so that it can monitor its surroundings better."When everyone heard it, their eyes widened in shock as their mouth gaped. Even Alyssa, who was rich with experience, was dumbfounded by what she heard. She had seen cars that had dashboard cameras. It was the first time she heard of a camera on a horse. She was perplexed at how she was drawn to getting to know him. What a remarkable man. Max

    Alyssa was shocked! Then, she noticed a flickering green light hidden in a corner. Someone had set up a video camera there when no one had noticed. Everything from the onset until now was broadcast publicly. The Harpers' blaming and arrogant attitude and Preston's pompous demeanor were broadcast for all to see.Everything happened so discreetly that even Alyssa, as meticulous as she was, didn't realize it in time.Netizens were entering the live broadcast room like a swarm of bees.The live broadcast had reached five million live viewers. The comments started flooding in."Oh, my God! The Harpers are vicious. They would abuse an animal to win a competition. They even tried to trample Ms. Taylor to death. This is a crime! It's murder!""This is downright demoralizing! They are society's scumbags!""The Harpers are a shame to society. Cornelius' father was a labor worker who carried sandbags at the piers of Belbanks. Then, he became a violent gangster. He was an aggressive risk-t

    "Max had always been careful and reliable. How can he be so reckless? He had committed such a huge crime!" Penelope continued to rant."Mom, Max probably didn't want to let the Taylors win, so he wanted to show them who's boss."Zoe stroked Penelope's back to comfort her. Her eyes bore a grim and vicious expression. "However, it's unfortunate that things turned out this way for him. Now, Grandpa and Uncle Preston need to distance themselves from Mr. Horatio and let him become the Taylor family's scapegoat. "Additionally, we have to synchronize our story, asserting that this has nothing to do with the Harpers. It was all his idea. It shouldn't be too big of a problem.""I don't think it will be that easy."Despite being a housewife, Penelope hailed from a rich and influential family, affording her a clear perspective. She shook her head sadly. "You witnessed what unfolded earlier. The entire incident was broadcast live. While this may have been Max's fault, he is still a part of t

    Zoe said, "He confessed to everything. No one instructed him. He operated alone."A sinister smile suddenly crept onto Zoe's face. "Besides, even if I did it, do you have any proof? Show me your evidence."Landon's fist slammed into the wall next to Zoe's head, leaving her mortified and breathless. "You listen to me. No one is going to be this lucky forever. No one can keep stepping on others to get their way either."Landon took a deep breath and stared at her. His eyes had no trace of any brotherly love. "Mr. Horatio watched you grow up, treated you like his own daughter, and was loyal to the Harpers. That is why he was willing to take the blame for you."But not everyone is like Mr. Horatio. You've done many terrible things. Soon, you'll pay for all your treacherous deeds. Everyone will turn their backs on you, and you'll rot in hell alone.""Hahaha! Landon, I advise you not to mess with me. You've lost your father, and you've abandoned your sister. Do you want to turn your b

    However, Alyssa's expression darkened, showing no signs of being affected by Jameson's actions."Wow, who is this handsome man? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.""He is Jameson Schmidt, Ms. Alyssa's devoted guardian angel. He has successfully resolved numerous issues for her.""Oh, my God! What exquisite and distinctive features he has! He's like a walking sculpture. I love it!""Plus, he is a kind man. If I were Alyssa, I would choose Mr. Jameson. So what if Mr. Beckett repented and came back? Once you miss the chance of fate, it's useless even if you repent.""I agree. We've had enough of three years of their marriage. I want a handsome man, young and strong."The atmosphere was already tense, but now it had grown colder than an iceberg.The vein on Cornelius' forehead bulged. A fiery rage burned in his chest. He had always been on his high horse throughout his life. How could he suffer such humiliation from this bunch of young people trampling all over him?"That

    Jameson had his back facing Alyssa, his face turning grim as he adjusted his glasses.Jasper stood beside Alyssa, lightly pursing his lips. He wanted to stop her, but her words beat him to it. Moreover, intervening now would mean falling for Jameson's trap. He would then be his bitch, as Landon had disgustingly phrased it."Lyse, are you okay? Does your waist hurt?"Winston wasn't bothered about Alyssa's sarcasm. He was more concerned about her injury. "You are so stubborn. You should have gone to the hospital the moment you fell from the horse. Jonah and Mr. Atkins could have taken care of Blaze. Why do you need to do it personally?"You are just like your mother. Even ten horses wouldn't be able to pull you back when you are this stubborn. Jonah, get on the phone with Mr. Liverton now. Get Lyse to the hospital and gather a group of specialists to get her treated."However, Jonah read the situation well and didn't comply. Jasper and Alyssa wanted time alone. It would be awkward i

    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
