Sophia's scandal at the horseracing event had single-handedly thrown the Beckett Group into disarray. Newton, at the top of the chain of command, confronted Javier with an ultimatum. He wanted Sophia to rot in prison and had no qualms to disown Javier should the latter attempt to intervene.Alas, Javier held a different opinion. He would be dragged by the netizens sooner or later if he sat back and watched as Sophia was canceled. They would surely criticize him for being a cold-blooded capitalist who treated his wife like a pawn in a game of chess.He was tired of being laughed at and mocked. In the past, he had an arranged marriage with the daughter of the Duttons, which did not work out. Later, rumors had it that he mistreated Anne Bartley, who killed herself due to depression. Now, his wife, Sophia, was put behind bars for drug offenses.He did not want the ill fates of his women to become fodder for gossip. To protect his image, he could not sit back as Sophia was branded a crim

It was public knowledge that Javier and Jasper did not get along, but it was the first time anyone had witnessed an open argument between them.Jasper might be a ruthless man, but his record-setting accomplishments and swift business expansion during his tenure as president had earned recognition from his subordinates.However, Javier's veiled threat to oust Jasper for Sophia tainted his image, painting him as a corrupted figure.Jasper would have been enraged at Javier's threat in the past, but he felt different now. His priority was Alyssa's well-being, not his father's.He retorted, "I don't care who'll be the future president, but I am in power now, and I would like to remove Sophia Kirkman. What can you do about that?"With that, he briskly exited the meeting room, leaving behind the astonished attendees and an incensed Javier.…The night had fallen when Jasper left the office. Slouching wearily in the back of his car, he enjoyed some shut-eye."Mr. Beckett, you were so c

True love had nothing to do with a wife's culinary skills. A man who truly loved a woman would still find her attractive at her worst.Alyssa was too focused on cooking and did not notice Jasper creeping up to her.She gasped when he pulled her into a hug, his masculine scent enveloping her senses.He grumbled, "Why are you moving around when I'm not at home? You're injured and need rest." He tightened his grip on her waist with desire, but she kept quiet about the discomfort.Instead, she placed her right hand on the back of his hand and patted it. She allowed him to hug her for as long as he wished. His heavy breath on her neck sent electric shivers through her.Suddenly detecting a faint tobacco scent, she questioned, "Did you smoke?""Sorry, Lyse. I couldn't resist," he rasped, resting his chin on her shoulder. Rubbing his chin against her skin, he vowed, "I won't do it again.""Anything troubling you?" she wondered, feeling worried when she sensed his low mood."Nothing."

"Lyse, if you're planning a future with me in it, does it mean you're willing to marry me?" Jasper flashed a cheeky grin and pinched Alyssa's cheek.Alyssa protested, "No! I'm not marrying you. That was …"She had just thought that his proposal was shabby. …At the police station, Cyrus was facing a dilemma. The time limit for Sophia's detention had lapsed, and both the Beckett family and his superiors were exerting pressure to release Sophia within the next two hours.The clock was ticking.Simon Lynch emerged from the interrogation room after speaking with Sophia. He strolled over to Cyrus' desk, arrogantly crossing his legs. Lifting his chin, he sneered, "Chief Taylor, I understand your desire to seek justice for your sister, but everyone is equal under the law. No innocent citizen shall be treated unfairly."Abusing your authority against Sophia serves no purpose. It only exposes your inadequacy as a law enforcement officer. You're too young, lacking the experience and visi

Jasper realized that he had acted brashly when Alyssa ignored him. Alyssa had suffered enough when she was with him.Although he was overwhelmed with emotions, he knew he had to make amends. How could he imagine their life after marriage before he even prepared a grand proposal for her?It was patient and kind of her to not lose her temper with him.Alyssa gasped, "Oh, my soup!" The soup sputted and spilled over. She hurriedly cleaned up the mess.Looking at the boiling soup and the food in the rising steam, he teared up but quickly wiped away the teardrop. Wanting to help Alyssa, he rolled up his sleeves to clean the kitchen and set the table without bothering to change into casual wear.Jasper was pushed to tears because he felt sorry and guilty for his behavior. He could have enjoyed such a delightful home life in his three years of marriage, but he never appreciated her effort.Fortunately, he was able to win her back, and he resolved not to let go of her."The weather's war

Jasper and Alyssa's faces fell. Alyssa felt her chest tighten. "Did Tristan turn himself in?""Yes. He has also turned in all evidence against Sophia. Every one of them is devastating to the Beckett Group. Javier Beckett's blood pressure will go through the roof if he sees it. Simon Lynch could try all he wants, but he'll never be able to save Sophia."Despite the good news, Alyssa couldn't muster any joy. Jasper, sensing her distress, embraced her. "I know you won't feel like eating now. Let's head to the police station. I'll heat up the food when we get back."She leaned into his chest, nodding with a troubled expression.…Tristan sat calmly in the interrogation room, with just a wall separating him from Sophia. His composure was the exact opposite of Sophia's hysteria."Sir, that's all I have to report regarding the details of my drug dealing with Sophia," Tristan concluded.Cyrus studied his face and wondered, "Mr. McAlister, you should know that you're in deeper trouble th

"Lyse, amidst the evidence Tristan provided, there's this particular piece. He insists it be presented in court, but I'm hesitant. Sophia will be charged with or without this evidence anyway, but Javier will abandon her if he learns about it," Cyrus revealed.He then showed them a surveillance recording on his laptop. Although the recording was muted, the scene itself was shocking. Jasper, taking a deep breath, felt the instinct to shield Alyssa's eyes, even though they were all adults.It turned out to be a recording of Tristan and Sophia making love. Closing her eyes in enjoyment, she rode him naked.Having been a cop for years, Cyrus remained unfazed by the evidence. He had witnessed more disturbing scenes, such as spilled brains and bags of dismembered human remains.Alyssa was comparably calm. She even teased, "That witch is pretty good at keeping her figure.""Dr. McAlister has made a great sacrifice here," Cyrus lamented.Then, Alyssa shut the laptop and insisted, "Let's t

Alyssa remained astonishingly composed. She was the future heiress of the Taylor Group, and she should be handling the humiliation with grace.However, Jasper and Cyrus were visibly rattled, especially the former. As rage simmered in Jasper's chest, his hand began to shake, and his expression hardened.Noticing Jasper's change, Simon felt more emboldened, knowing that Jasper's hands were tied since they were at the police station. "Mr. Beckett, you're a lucky man. Just send Ms. Alyssa on the mission if you have trouble negotiating your deals. She'll charm the pants off any man, and you will secure any business deal you want. Ouch—"Just as Simon was enjoying the moment, he saw stars and felt sore in his nose. Then, he collapsed onto the floor.Alyssa widened her eyes and shouted, "Jasper?" She stared blankly at his towering and intimidating figure, her heart pounding against his chest.Even Cyrus was momentarily thrown off guard. Simon had fallen on the ground before Cyrus even no

In an instant, the woman burst into tears. Remy, in an alarmed state, scanned the area outside the car. Satisfied that he was momentarily safe, he loosened his grip on the woman, only to discover his palms were damp. The woman's face was drenched in tears. As he stared into her misty eyes, recognition dawned on him—she was the woman who had chased him at the hospital, frantically calling him "Damien". This could only mean she was Damien Taylor's mother. Remy straightened abruptly, putting distance between himself and Mandy. A surge of emotion tightened his chest, leaving him shaken. Silence blanketed the car. Despite her usual composure, Mandy was overwhelmed. Her tears were unstoppable as she gazed at him. Nothing else seemed to matter. At that moment, Mandy's driver opened the car door and climbed in, saying, "Mrs. Taylor, here are the desserts you ordered for Mr. Taylor—"Remy's reddened eyes darkened. His muscles tensed as he reached for the door handle, ready to l

"Younger brother?" Jonah echoed. The mention of Damien brought a sharp pang to his chest. Memories of the plane crash flashed before his eyes. He continued, his voice tight with emotion, "Even if he is my brother, he allied with the devil and chose a corrupt path. I am severing ties with him!"With that, Jonah slammed his arm down, a decisive gesture."Jonah! No!" Jasper shouted.In the next instant, Remy, with an almost unnatural calm, grabbed the blade of the dagger with his bare hand. Blood began to flow from his palm.Jonah's heart twisted in agony. Family meant everything to him, yet here he was, inflicting harm on one of his own."I didn't come here to stop you," Remy said, his voice low and strained as he met Jonah's reddened eyes. "But I must stop both of you. This is my mission."Jonah stared at him, stunned. "Why—""Because I work for Sir. I have no choice but to follow orders."Turning to Jasper, Remy said, "Go." …After watching them leave, Remy trudged through

Jasper and Jonah went to get Sebastian and Xavier out of the car. The four of them then bolted toward the other end of the alley. A clamor broke out behind them. Jasper glanced back, his heart pounding.Warmth surged through his hardened heart as he saw Axel holding his own in a brutal fight against over a dozen assassins, skillfully subduing them one by one."Jasper!" All of a sudden, Jonah stopped in his tracks. Jasper turned to see what had caught his attention, and his heart sank. Standing at the alley's end, silhouetted against the light, was a tall figure radiating a presence that commanded fear. Though the man's face was obscured, his unyielding presence was unmistakable. It was Justin's right-hand man, Remy."Mr. Beckett, w-what should we do?" Xavier stammered.With a fierce glint in his eyes, Jonah took a step forward. "I'll hold him back. The rest of you, keep going." "Xavier, take Dr. Bender to the press conference immediately. Don't let anything stop you." J

"Maggie, I love you!" Xavier typed.Maggie replied, "Xave, you're not usually this corny. What happened?" Xavier couldn't bring himself to tell her that those words were his final ones if something happened to him.His phone buzzed again. It was Maggie sending another message that read, "I love you too, Xave." Tears filled Xavier's eyes. His lips quivered, and his heart raced. He cursed under his breath. It was time to go all out. With that, he grabbed the machete, swung open the car door, and swiftly took down two of Jasper's attackers.But Xavier wasn't a fighter. He had no real combat experience. It didn't take long before a blade sliced into his arm, the deep cut searing with pain.Jasper's eyes widened. He roared, "Xavier, get back in the car!"Distracted, Jasper's opponent swung a machete at his face. Xavier gasped, "Mr. Beckett!"Luckily, Jasper dodged the strike, his reflexes quick. He retaliated by snapping the attacker's arm.Xavier, pale and shaking with pain,

Frightened out of his wits, Xavier yelped, covering his head and crouching low in his seat. It wasn't that he was a coward. He had been brave in the past, but this situation was unlike anything an ordinary person would face.Working for Jasper meant Xavier didn't have to worry about his livelihood, but every day was a gamble with danger. If this continued, he might have to keep Nitroglycerin on hand just to survive.Jasper, with his strong, muscular frame, shielded Sebastian beneath him.He knew the attackers were after Sebastian, the witness, aiming to eliminate anyone who could tip the scales against them. If they could take down Jasper too, or at least injure him severely, it would be a bonus.These people were ruthless. Sebastian, oblivious to the danger, was muttering the Lord's Prayer under his breath. He didn't know that the man protecting him was sometimes more powerful than any deity."Don't lift your heads! Arrows aren't like bullets—they can pierce glass but not the

Time was ticking. The press conference was about to begin. Landon escorted Sebastian out of the manor and into Jasper's car. He glanced at Jasper, who sat in the back seat, his expression calm and composed.With concern etched on his face, Landon said, "Jasper, let me come with you. I can't feel at ease otherwise."Jasper met Landon's gaze, firm and aloof. "Don't worry, Landon. You've done enough. It's time for you to step back."If Landon continued to help, he would only get caught up in the chaos. Despite his current difficulty in articulating his feelings, Jasper couldn't forget that this was his best friend, the one he'd stood by for more than 20 years. Landon had endured so much to finally be happy with Lauren, and Jasper wasn't about to be the one to disrupt that hard-earned happiness. Understanding Jasper's stubbornness, Landon turned to Xavier. "Call me immediately if anything happens.""Don't worry, Mr. Harper," Xavier reassured. With that, Sebastian climbed into

That said, this strategy came with its own risks. It was as if Jasper and Axel were placing all their bets on Remy for the time being."Justin doesn't control someone without a reason. Since he has control over Remy, he will make full use of him."Jasper's chest tightened, a weight pressing down on him like a massive rock. He continued, "The only way to find Amber is to understand Justin's intentions clearly."…The press conference was scheduled for 5:00 pm at Berenike Hotel's Conference Hall A on Saturday. At 3:00 pm sharp, Justin sat in the president's office at Beckett Group, his expression frigid. He sat upright on the couch while Sheryl, standing beside him, carefully tended to the wound on his left ear, changing its dressing with caution. It had been only two days since he was shot in the ear. His flesh had been stitched up, and the stitches looked like a grotesque centipede crawling along his ear. There was no way to conceal the injury unless he donned a shoulder-lengt

"Remy beat Sheryl up?" Jasper repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. Having wiped away his tears, Axel leaned in to listen to the phone call."Yeah! I saw it with my own eyes in the surveillance footage. He punched her—brutally!" Xavier's voice was filled with astonishment. He exhaled sharply before continuing, "I thought they were a close-knit group. Looks like even they have internal conflicts!"After a brief pause, he ventured, "Mr. Beckett, do you think we could use this as a breakthrough? Maybe Remy has been at odds with Sheryl for a while, and he's tired of working under Justin. Perhaps all he needs is a little push to turn against them. After all, didn't Ms. Altman join us because she hated everything Jameson did?"Jasper didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he spoke quietly, "It's a clever thought, but it's still uncertain. We don't really know Remy's intentions. Our interactions with him have been few, and they've always been risky confrontations. I don't know what he

"Didn't you say you had no idea what I was talking about? In that case, this ear is useless to you. You're already a crippled man anyway. You might as well be deaf too." Axel's hands trembled with restrained rage. The temptation to end Justin's life surged through him—he wanted to pull the trigger, to rip him apart limb by limb. But he had made a promise to Jasper—no lives would be taken. A promise was a promise."I will rescue my wife. But you'll lose more than just an ear if I fail." Axel seized Justin by the hair, his reddened eyes brimming with tears. His voice cracked with fury and anguish. "I will make you suffer a thousand times the pain Amber has endured."Without warning, he released Justin and stormed out."S-Sir! I will get someone to take you to the hospital right away!" Sheryl crawled to Justin's side, panic-stricken as her eyes fell on the pool of blood spreading across the floor. Her trembling hands fumbled with her phone, unable to keep a firm grip as she scrambl
