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

    Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

    In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

    This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

    "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
