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

    "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
