"Winston, where's Lyse?" Unwilling to give up, Victor craned his neck to look outside."No need to look. Lyse is injured and can't sit for a long time to talk to guests. I asked her to rest at home. She won't be coming tonight," Winston replied indifferently."Winston, how can you do this? You promised to bring Lyse last time. How can you go back on your words? Besides, we're not just guests. We're going to be family." Victor kept chattering away, but he was confused.Winston sat down. "If you truly care about Lyse, you would let her recover properly and not bother her."Before the horse racing event, Victor had a private meeting with Winston. They had a great conversation, and Winston really liked Jameson. He had promised to make Alyssa marry Jameson, making her the Schmidt family's daughter-in-law.At that time, Victor even considered David's marriage. After all, David was also his son, whom he doted on other than his firstborn.So, he wanted to seize the opportunity to double

As Winston listened silently, memories of a thrilling and life-threatening gunfight flashed through his mind.He truly appreciated Victor for that incident. Back then, they were both young and their deep brotherly bond was evident in Victor risking his life to protect Winston.It was also during that incident that Colene, the daughter of The Ivory Gang's boss, risked her life to save Winston, thus leading to their relationship."Yes, Victor. Your kindness is something I'll never forget," Winston said with a hoarse voice."I think you've forgotten everything! Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone back on your words and treated me like a fool!"Victor grew increasingly agitated, his face turning red with anger. As he breathed heavily, he slammed an expensive crystal glass on the table.Tatiana and Lyla were both startled.Victor was usually jovial around Winston. This was their first time seeing him so angry. It showed how much he valued this marriage union, even at the cost of a 30-y

Winston looked at Tatiana sharply, then turned to Victor. "Taty is Lyla and my youngest daughter. She's the apple of my eye. We've been selecting a suitable husband for her. Originally, I wished for her to marry into the Schmidt family."But back then, you favored Lyse, so I had to find another man for Taty. Now that Lyse is with Jasper, let's sit down and discuss the marriage between your son and Taty. After graduation, let her be your daughter-in-law. What do you think?"Hearing that, Tatiana felt like she was being struck by lightning. As she trembled, her pupils shrank, and her face drained of color. "Dad ... I—"Suddenly, Lyla grabbed Tatiana's arm, her fingers nearly embedding into Tatiana's flesh.Tatiana anxiously looked at her mother, who shook her head.In the end, she could only lower her head in distress, tears welling up in her eyes.…Winston's proposal for Tatiana to marry into the Schmidt family reversed the crumbling relationship between the two families.Howev

The dinner ended in a strange and oppressive atmosphere.Upon learning about the marriage with the Schmidt family's son, Tatiana felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. Her face lost all color. It was as if all the warmth in her body had been drained, leaving her cold from head to toe.On the way home, she and Lyla shared a car. There wasn't even a chance for her to talk to Winston."Mom ... why?"Tatiana's eyes were brimming with tears. She asked with a choked voice, "You know that I love Sean. You know that I'll only marry him. W-Why do you want me to marry into the Schmidt family?"Lyla felt bad. Nonetheless, she replied with a calm voice, "Your father and I believe that this is a more suitable match for you. Sean is a good person. However, his family doesn't see eye to eye with us. "According to what I know, the Lynch couple doesn't like us. If you forcefully marry Sean, it would be a marriage without their blessing. Such a marriage would be agonizing for you."Loo

"Mr. Taylor."Winston paused in his steps, only now noticing that Sean was standing in front of him."Sean, it's late. Haven't you left yet?" he asked with a faint smile."Mr. Taylor, I ..." Sean hesitated. His throat was extremely dry."I know, you're waiting for Taty, aren't you?"Sean's thoughts were laid bare, making him feel awkward. After a moment of silence, he spoke guiltily. "Mr. Taylor, I'm really sorry for my brother's actions. But please believe me. Regardless of my family's choice, I'll always stand by you and Ms. Alyssa. My commitment remains unchanged."Winston smiled faintly and said, "This is your family matter. You don't need to explain it to me. You must have a lot to say to Taty, right? Go and talk to her. I won't disturb you."These words sent a chill down Sean's spine.When he came back to his senses, Winston was already at a distance.After some time, Tatiana, who had tidied herself up, walked through the gate with a pale face and a dazed look."Taty!"

But Alyssa knew Tatiana had heard her. She was just pretending not to have heard her. She felt worried and chased after Tatiana."Taty, what's wrong?" She abruptly grabbed Tatiana's arm.Tatiana slowly turned around with tear streaks on her face. "It's nothing, Lyse."Alyssa was stunned. "You're crying? Why are you crying? Did you have a fight with Sean, or …""Lyse, you and Jasper must be happy."Leaving behind these sudden words, Tatiana shook off Alyssa's hand and sprinted away down the corridor, ignoring Alyssa's calls.Alyssa frowned, feeling that something was not right. She took out her phone and called Sean."Ms. Alyssa." Sean's voice sounded down, lacking strength."Sean, what did you say to Taty? She's so upset. Did you bully her?" Alyssa questioned him bluntly with her hands on her hips."Taty cried?" Sean's heart ached, but he still spoke truthfully. "Ms. Alyssa, I didn't argue with Taty. But when she came back home, she was feeling down."I asked her why, and she

The conversation in the study continued.Winston came from a wealthy background and had sons and daughters, loved ones, and friends. Everyone all across the world admired him for it.Yet the only person he could speak his heartfelt thoughts to was Neil, who'd been by his side since he was in his youth."Things aren't so easy to handle right now, Neil," Winston said.His brows were knit tight as he shook his head lightly. "Jonah had been the one dealing with the company when Lyse was overseas. Frankly, I could tell how difficult it was for him."When Lyse came back, Jonah gave her the position right away. He must've known he had reached his limits. He most probably has found it extremely difficult to further improve himself. What's more, Jonah and Silas aren't … "Winston hesitated slightly as he spoke.Neil remained silent, though there was a shift in his eyes."So after some consideration, Lyse is indeed the most suitable heir out of everyone else.

With a loud bang, Alyssa barged into the room. Anger had made her face flushed while her hands were clenched into fists.Both Winston and Neil were shocked.Winston then grumbled, "Don't you know proper manners, Lyse? Or did you forget how to knock?""I've never knocked since I knew how to walk here in Heightsnew Villa! Oho! Are you bringing up civility and manners now? Feeling guilty, are we?"Alyssa was so angry that she was trembling. "Do you think you're some sort of a warlord, Winston? Having so many wives is one thing, yet now you're trying to use your own daughter to appease the Schmidt family? "What a wonderful father you are! I thought you were just a flirt, but it looks like you're also a cold-blooded, selfish man! I truly held my hopes too high!"Winston was furious. He wasn't as tolerating as before, though. He coldly said, "What would you know? These are ad hoc strategies.""Selling your daughter out, separating a pair of sincere lovers, and ruining Taty's happin

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

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,
