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

Javier glowered at his trouble-causing son with a scowl. Following behind him closely was his secretary Rory Odon, some bodyguards, and Betty, who put on a sour face.Betty had initially been reluctant to visit Sophia at the police station. She had not stepped out of Seaview Manor since the horseracing event, where Sophia had brought shame to her.She refrained from checking social media or watching the TV. When she skimmed through her Twitter feed, she noticed people laughing at Sophia. On top of that, she had muted the group chats with the Solana City socialites, whose members relentlessly laughed at Sophia and herself.One of them wrote, "How I pity Madam Sophia. I bet Mr. Javier hasn't satisfied her in a while. Why else would she touch herself with such enthusiasm?""I guess middle-aged women who have given birth are no use for men anymore. I couldn't believe the same fate befell even the ex-celebrity Madam Sophia.""That has nothing to do with her age! If I were her husband,

"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
