Chapter 1224

Author: Ginger Sue
"Lyse, what are you doing?" Winston warned her.

"Dad, please trust Jasper," Alyssa pleaded in a coarse voice, her eyes shimmering in tears.

As witty and calculative as she was, she couldn't stop herself from going up to Jasper.

Winston felt sorry for his daughter and said sternly, "I never said I distrusted him. But he's at odds with Javier, and he's involved with the Harpers. If he's a man worth marrying, I would like to see how he'll resolve the situation."

The situation grew extremely tense and awkward. Judging from Jasper's steely expression, he seemed reluctant to show any regard for the Harpers.

Cornelius could not take it anymore. He pulled Zoe along to confront Jasper, "Jasper, you are free to love whoever you want, but how could you not offer an apology or an explanation six months after you slept with and dumped my granddaughter? What do you take her as?"

Zoe started sobbing on cue. Cornelius continued with his stinging remarks. "Are we wrong for wanting you to take res

    Alyssa stared into Jasper's eyes through tears. They only had each other in their eyes.He treaded toward her as if he had scaled mountains and sailed oceans to reach her. Standing beside her was Winston.Jasper, caught in a surreal daze, appeared deeply moved. He felt as though he was welcoming his bride. The world around him faded into silence. All he could hear was his thunderous heartbeat. The scene seemed too perfect to be true."Jasper …" A tear rolled down her cheek like a meteor streaking across the night sky. Jasper was ready to sacrifice everything for her, and she felt the same toward him.Whether it was surviving the Luminara battlefield with Jasper or marrying him without their families' blessings, they had given their all for their love."Hold on a moment!" Zoe glared at them, her voice shrill and trembling. Her hopes were repeatedly crushed, and she couldn't bear it any longer.She thought, "Alyssa, Jasper, if you stubbornly wish to be together, perhaps I should un

    Landon gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw. Thankfully, Jonah held him back when he was about to barge into the hall.Jonah advised him, "Landon, calm down. You have nothing to worry about because my dad and Jasper are there to handle it. "Besides, you shouldn't appear like you're siding with outsiders at this critical point where you are about to be appointed the president of the Harper Group. You don't want to upset your grandpa. So, do not act rashly for the sake of your future."Landon's eyes burned in rage. "But Jasper is my bro! I can't sit back and watch my family fuck with Lyse! How could I betray Jasper just for a company president role? I'd be ashamed to face them in the future."Jonah was rendered speechless by Landon's seemingly uncultured outburst, but he shrugged it off because he empathized with Landon's feelings.Meanwhile, Jasper again shifted his hostile gaze onto Zoe, his eyes an abyss, ready to consume the evil woman.Zoe tried to maintain her composure un

    "Lyse, is this true?" Winston turned to stare at his daughter, who looked as pale as a sheet. Filled with pain and resentment, he tossed the paper at her. "Tell me, is everything on this paper true?"Alyssa almost lost her balance. She gripped her chest and slowly crouched as she stiffly picked up the paper. She clutched it tightly in her fingers."Lyse …" Jasper, looking blank, approached her. She admitted, "Yes, it's true."Winston felt the world collapse around him. Pain shot through his head as his vision blurred. Jonah and Landon were surprised by his intense reaction, especially Jonah, who had never seen his dad so angry in the 30 years of his life.Even when Winston learned about Alyssa's divorce, he was mostly angry at Jasper for his treatment of Alyssa. Never had he pinned the blame on Alyssa.Perplexed by Winston's seemingly unjustified rage at Alyssa, they watched as Winston marched up and dragged Alyssa out of the hall with him. "Let's go! You'll come home to Belbanks

    Alyssa was at a loss for words at that moment. Gasps filled the hall as the guests stared at her in disbelief. The talented daughter of the affluent Taylor family stood exposed as infertile. They couldn't imagine the life she led under the Beckett family and the extent of torture Jasper had inflicted on her.Despite her social status, her infertility was akin to a death sentence. Her infertility would weigh heavily on her, taking away the fundamental right to reproduce that every woman possessed. Landon's expression froze, momentarily paralyzed by the shock. Even then, he had to support Jonah, who was on the verge of collapse upon learning of Alyssa's infertility.As her brother, Jonah thought he was aware of all her secrets, but he was proven wrong. He chastised himself and his other brothers for failing to protect their sister.Now that Winston had turned against Jasper, Zoe shifted her attention to Javier. "Mr. Javier, your son has gravely hurt Alyssa. I think it's impossible

    Meanwhile, Zoe experienced dizziness in the aftermath of the slap. The taste of blood lingered in her mouth. She grimaced from the excruciating pain in her ear. Due to the pain, she abandoned her attempts at maintaining composure in the public eye."Ouch! My ear! It hurts!" After being slapped twice on the right cheek, her ears rang, causing her to yelp in pain."Zoe! My dear Zoe!" Cornelius wailed and rushed toward his granddaughter without carrying his walking stick. His eyes widened in shock as he tried to help her up from the floor, but she was too weak to get up after Landon's powerful slaps.Sitting on the ground and looking frail, she sobbed. "Grandpa, my ears hurt. I can't hear anything in my right ear.""What did you say, Zoe?" Cornelius was frightened. Despite raising his voice by her ear, she couldn't hear him very well. Unfurling a trembling hand from her right ear, she gasped at the sight of blood on her palm.She cried out, "My ear! I'm going deaf!"All the Harpers'

    Javier veiled his warning with a touch of advice. He added, "Furthermore, this is the history between Jasper and Alyssa—between the Becketts and the Taylors. It would be prudent for you to bring Cornelius and Zoe home for now. You should stay out of our affairs.""Hah! Did you hear yourself? Are you saying that Zoe is not guilty of exposing Alyssa's medical history to the public and shaming Alyssa for her infertility? She did that with the intent of seeking revenge on Alyssa and fulfilling her own agenda," Landon called out Zoe mercilessly.However, Landon's words stung Alyssa again. Clenching her teeth and closing her eyes, she struggled to hold back her tears.Each tear that slid down her cheek inflicted pain upon Jasper's soul.How he wished he could hold her tight and kiss her like the intimate nights they had shared. Alas, he did not feel like he was deserving of her."Landon, are you mocking me now?" Javier's patience began to wear thin."Well, you shouldn't beat around the

    "I'm sorry, Jonah …" Alyssa murmured, nestled in Jonah's embrace.Jonah, overwhelmed by guilt, shook his head and pulled her into a deep hug. "Nonsense, my princess. You've done nothing wrong. No need for apologies. It's my fault for not giving you enough attention. I should be sorry to you."She gave him a wry smile. Finally, she realized her naivete. She had thought she could shoulder the pain on her own to protect her love and her family from guilt and worry.Still, all her efforts went down the drain when the truth came out.Jonah held her close, stealing a glance at Jasper's pale face before turning away. "I've stationed our bodyguards around the castle. No one from the Harper family can leave until this matter has been resolved."Jasper's last glimmer of hope was shattered under Jonah's gaze. Feeling like a sinner, he thought he had poured all his love into Alyssa, only to discover he had deeply wounded her. He did not deserve to be with her. He did not even deserve to hold

    Cornelius suddenly recalled that Landon had been in charge of the Harpers' bodyguards for years. At first, Cornelius decided to let Landon take charge of the security just to give Landon something to do and train his skills, as security wasn't a core part of the Harper Group anyway.To his dismay, his careless decision to give out authority had come back to bite him."I've worked with Jonah to surround the castle with security." Landon squinted dangerously. "Grandpa, I'm not trying to give you a tough time. As long as Zoe pays for her action and repents for her behavior, you can totally walk out of here safely.""Landon Harper, you brat!" Cornelius' veins bulged in anger."Who's the brat here?" Suddenly, Jasper glowered at Cornelius, looking like an awakened beast, ready to kill. One could smell danger from him.He added, "Who's the one who sided with evil? Who repeatedly tries to hurt my woman, thinking they had backing? It's you and your fucking granddaughter."The guests were

    Hell on Earth? This place resembled a decrepit hospital. But why had Sheryl described it as "hell on Earth"?Amber's body convulsed uncontrollably, her consciousness flickering between clarity and haze. Fragments of memory surfaced—a dim recollection of drinking with Carl in the cellar after The Millennium's closure. She'd despised working with Carl but had cozied up to him for the sake of extracting information.Carl had revealed that "Sir" was deeply entrenched in the pharmaceutical industry. With connections to Mosgravia's government officials and elite circles, "Sir" wielded considerable power and ran a thriving business. Since his business revolved around pharmaceuticals, clinical trials were inevitable. To facilitate this, Sir owned a private hospital in Mosgravia.That hospital, however, was merely a façade. Beneath its sterile exterior, three basement levels housed patients—unwilling subjects for experimental drugs.Amber shivered. This place bore an uncanny resemblance t

    "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
