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,

Alyssa worried that her involvement might exacerbate the already strained relationship between Javier and Jasper. She wasn't worried about Javier's perception of her; she just refused to make things more difficult for Jasper within the Beckett Group."I think it's Sophia who should worry about her reputation," Jasper dismissed Betty's statement without even looking at her. "I'll advise you to behave. If you insist on clearing your mom's name, I will see to it that you join her in jail."His warning was directed at both Betty and Javier, making it clear that he wouldn't allow them to rescue Sophia."Jasper, how could you—" Betty stomped in anger and tugged at Javier's arm, pleading tearfully, "Dad, how could Jasper say that? It is my mom and your wife he's talking about! I think he wants me dead, too. What have I done to him? Who's the evil one here?"Javier was disoriented and irritated by her tantrum as he struggled to free himself from her grasp. Simon seized the opportunity upon

"But no one has forced your wife to meet with Dr. McAlister for drugs. She had developed an addiction and took the risk of dealing drugs with him at the horseracing event. The decision to step into the trap I set was entirely hers."Having stated this, Alyssa exited the police station alongside Jasper, who draped his arm around her shoulder.Seeing that, Betty anxiously yelled at Javier, "Dad, are you letting her leave just like that? She got Mom in trouble!"Rory, unable to contain himself, calmly took a jab at Betty. "You'll need evidence to support your claims against Ms. Alyssa. If you can't, you need to be careful with what you say lest she sues you for slander."Betty glared at Rory while Javier turned his icy gaze to Cyrus, demanding, "Mr. Cyrus, I'd like to meet with Captain Holt."Cyrus stood with his back against the wall and crossed his arms on his chest. "He's not around. His superior asked for him.""Could you please call him? Tell him to return immediately to meet w

Jasper maintained his composure as he greeted Winston. Though he had a strained relationship with Winston, who had shown him attitude and given him trouble, he treated Winston with respect due to his love for Alyssa and his admiration of Winston's integrity. However, unlike Jameson, he refrained from excessive flattery toward Winston. He reminded Winston, "Mr. Taylor, it's chilly at night. Please take care not to catch a cold."Jasper carried himself with humility and warmth, and Winston gradually found his presence pleasant as he nodded at the young man.Meanwhile, Alyssa grew concerned when she noticed the absence of bodyguards around her father. She approached him, chiding, "Dad, why didn't you bring along your bodyguards? You shouldn't have come here alone. What if …""Neil is trained in combat. Besides, I don't want to disturb my bodyguards' rest. I'm curious about your life in Solana City and your living space." Scanning the villa, he remarked, "It's small but functional. Th

"T-That's not true! Don't you dare tattle!" Alyssa pursed her lips and elbowed Jasper.Winston felt a surge of warmth when he witnessed the loving exchange between the couple. Even Neil beamed gently at the scene."Jasper, Lyse is not in her best health. I know you keep her company, but you can't be with her around the clock because of your busy schedule. I'm worried for my daughter and plan to take her home for recuperation," Winston proposed.After joking around and exchanging pleasantries, it was time to reveal his purpose for the visit."I'm not going home! You're wrong to say I have no one to look after me. Mrs. Rosie is dependable and looks after me well. There's no way I'm going home!" Alyssa threw a tantrum before the two men who loved her the most.Jasper stood beside her in silence and tightened his grip on her waist. In fact, he had considered sending her home to Belbanks, where she'd be taken care of and spend some quality time with her family.However, he was relucta

Alyssa shook her head and replied, "I know you're doing this in my best interest."A moment later, Winston heard a faint sobbing and felt his sleeve growing damp. "Lyse, are you crying?""Dad, I miss Jasper. I miss him so much …" It had been a while since Alyssa had cried in his arms. His eyes grew misty at the sight.He hadn't felt such intense emotions, not even when Miley married Jeremy and left for Kontina.However, he felt sorry to have separated the two lovers. It pained him as a father to see his daughter heartbroken.He thought, "Dear Lyse, I suppose I can't keep you by my side anymore."…After arriving home, Alyssa locked herself in her bedroom and chatted with Jasper under the blankets. She went on and on, and he listened to her patiently, occasionally agreeing with her idea or adding to it.The two soulmates chatted endlessly until Alyssa fell asleep before she knew it. Upon waking up the next morning, she rubbed her eyes and stretched, feeling relaxed."Lyse, you

"Jasper, although Justin is recuperating in Mosgravia, you shouldn't let your guard down. Your last contract signing with Jesselton Incorporated was his debut. Since he took action, it means he'll be back sooner or later," Alyssa expressed her concern for Jasper."Lyse, are you genuinely afraid I'll be living off you?" Jasper teased."I'm being serious!""I'm not afraid of Justin's return or confronting him head-on. Under fair competition, I have no complaints if he wants to take back what belongs to him."Alyssa knew that the kidnapping case from years ago weighed heavily on Jasper. He still felt indebted to Justin."But if he uses dirty tricks, I won't go easy on him. Taylor Group won this horse racing event. Ezzo should choose you without hesitation. But if Justin or anyone else tries to interfere, I won't stand idly by."Jasper's low and charming voice lightly echoed in her ear. "With me around, you don't have to worry."…Lyla didn't go on vacation like she said she would.

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. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. 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
