Chapter 1227

Author: Ginger Sue
"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

    Julien spoke and walked up to Jonah's side. He joined the others in examining Zoe. "As a doctor, I am very well aware of patient confidentiality. Any self-respecting doctor would not leak their patient's information to a third party. "So, I surmised that Ms. Zoe had paid off Alyssa's physician. Did you, Ms. Zoe? If that's the case, let's get the doctor under arrest to secure our witness."Jonah nodded in agreement, acknowledging Julien's approach with a slight frown. Julien, in turn, looked pleased to receive Jonah's approval."Who's that handsome guy?" a voice inquired."Is he one of Alyssa's suitors?" another speculated.Julien silently fumed upon hearing that. He was not Alyssa's suitor. He was just a man capitalizing on Alyssa's case to win favors with Jonah."No! This has nothing to do with the doctor!" Zoe blurted out, flustered from all the talk of witness."What does that mean? Are you suggesting that the information didn't come from a doctor? Who provided it to you, th

    Landon put on a chilling smile. "Zoe might not be a mastermind, but she's a conspirator. We don't even know if the alleged mastermind exists. For now, she has to bear the responsibility. Take her down!""No! I didn't plan this! I was manipulated ..." Zoe argued, realizing she was on the verge of public condemnation. She no longer cared about bringing down Alyssa. She was more concerned about her imminent incrimination.Unable to deceive any longer, she rushed to Landon in panic, admitting, "Landon, I was wrong! I'd never do it again. But I'm the victim here. Someone's manipulating me, destroying me and perhaps even the entire Harper Group!"Her tears, stained black by smudged mascara, were a comical spectacle. Crying, she reached for his hand, but he dodged her touch, looking disgusted.Failing to make contact, she lost her balance and fell to the marble floor on her knees. The impact sent pain shooting across her body, and she cried even harder."What exactly happened? Tell us!"

    So what if Jasper had saved Alyssa multiple times? His so-called sacrifices couldn't make up for the pain he inflicted on her."No! No!" Zoe vehemently denied, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "That man has nothing to do with the hotel scandal!"Alyssa merely smiled, opting not to press further, as Zoe unwittingly betrayed the truth through her expression."Lyse, anything else you'd like to ask?" Landon turned to Alyssa with a gentle gaze.She calmly shook her head."Good. Bring her away," Landon instructed with a wave of his hand.Zoe's eyes widened in fear. "W-Where to?""The police station."Looking crushed, Zoe stumbled backward indignantly. She yelled in a shrill voice, "Landon Harper, you're screwing with me, aren't you? Didn't you say you'd let this slip if I tell the truth?""Let this slip? Did I say that? Maybe you're being delusional." Landon turned away from her with a determination that felt like a farewell. "Zoe Harper, I said I'd teach you a lesson, and no

    Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa

    Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

    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.

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
