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. I'm not fond of Jasper Becke

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

The only way they could make a breakthrough now was to catch Jeffrey's superior, Inigo Montoye. Jameson's crimes would finally be revealed once they had Inigo to testify!But Alyssa couldn't tell Winston this due to the risk of alerting unwanted parties and disturbing Jasper's plan and hers. Hence, she could only stop her explanation here."Then I'll wait for your evidence to change my mind." Winston no longer had the energy to argue with Alyssa. Sweat had beaded on his brows. He then walked right out the door.Neil hurriedly followed along, seeing how ill Winston suddenly seemed."You heartless, selfish, obsolete old man!" Alyssa roared at her father. "I hate you! I hate you so fucking much!"It felt like a dagger had penetrated Winston's heart. The pain was so great he flinched.The last time Alyssa yelled at him like this and told him she hated him was when Jennifer, the love of Winston's life, died. Winston didn't understand it. He had given all the best to Alyssa since s

Alyssa ran out of the house without hanging up the call or even changing her clothes, like a bird flying out of its cage.Jasper stood outside the gates under the streetlamp for her, his gaze warm.The weather forecast had mentioned a heavy downpour tonight, but Jasper hadn't minded it. After finishing his work in Solana City, he drove to meet with his lover.It had only been a day.But frankly, it was a pain to bear this feeling of longing."Jasper!" Alyssa cried, pushing open the door. She then ran tearfully over to him.Jasper's eyes widened briefly before they narrowed. An adoring and loving smile crept onto his face. He had already opened his arms to try and welcome Alyssa, but in the blink of an eye, she'd run right up to him. So he embraced her deeply."I hurried over as early as I could. I was worried I wouldn't be able to see you if I came by a second later, that you might've gone to bed," Jasper murmured warmly, arm tightening around her back. "But it's no big deal.

What did they have to do to change Winston's mind, to stop the marriage between Tatiana and Jameson? Alyssa slowed her breathing and roughly relayed this night's happening to Jasper. Naturally, she summarized the part about her fight with Winston. She downplayed the serious points as she was afraid that he would worry and feel guilty. Jasper wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and furrowed his brows. "So, Mr. Taylor wants Tatiana to marry into the Schmidt family because you and I are together? Even if he prefers the Schmidts, this is just too sudden." "It seems sudden, but it's not." Alyssa shook her head dejectedly. Angry, she clutched his chest and said, "Actually, Winston is being crafty. He wasn't happy about you and I being together previously. "I wouldn't be surprised if he already had a secret discussion with Mr. Victor for me to marry into the Schmidt family. "After the horse racing event, I heard from Sean that there was news about Winston and Jameson beco

"Could you get a room next time, Mr. Beckett? My hips are killing me." Jasper chuckled naughtily and asked, "Your hips won't hurt if we get a room?" Shy, Alyssa lightly punched his chest. "Lyse, about the party on the weekend, almost all of Solana City's reputable families will be there." Jasper had a sincere and serious look on his face. "I am thinking of making a public announcement then … that I am seeing you. Would that be alright?" Alyssa's dazzling eyes widened slightly. She stared into his eyes without saying a word for quite a while. He thought that she was unhappy with the idea. He held her hand tight and continued, "Actually, more than that, I want to propose to you. But, I'm afraid that you aren't ready yet, and more so that it will be too rushed. I don't want to make things difficult for you.""Why are you choosing that day in particular?" "Because I can't wait any longer." Jasper felt a lump in his throat as a wave of emotions washed over him. "I can't wai

Over the past 28 years, Sean had never talked back to Sinead like that. This was the first time. It made her heart ache. "I want to be with Tatiana. I want to marry her." Sean's blood was boiling throughout his entire body. He enunciated every word, saying, "I don't want anyone other than Taty!" "So, are you abandoning your family? Are you abandoning me, too?" Sinead questioned while choking on her tears. "If you still want me as your son, please stop insulting Tatiana. Don't stop me from loving her. But of course, even if you wanted to, you won't be able to stop me." Upon saying that, Sean turned and walked upstairs. "Stand right there, Sean!" Sinead screamed at him while he walked away, "Are you trying to drive me to my death? Let me tell you—I will never let you marry the daughter of a mistress from the Taylor family! Not unless it's over my dead body!" Sean stopped in his tracks. Sinead felt gleeful. She thought that he had changed his mind. At long last, he utt

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,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc
