Chapter 1248

Author: Ginger Sue
Some were distraught and lost, while others remained sprightly and kicking.

Jameson had acted as if he'd just heard the news and hurried over to Heightsnew Villa. He was currently sitting anxiously in the living room.

"Tsk. We only just sent Jasper away, yet now Jameson has come crawling all the way back here! What did our baby sister do to deserve this? What bad karma did she accrue?"

Jonah and Silas were looking downstairs from the second-floor landing. Silas was so angry he was grinding his teeth together.

Jonah coldly eyed Jameson's face, which had had its fill of putting up a dramatic show. His hand around the railing was so tense his veins were bulging.

"He didn't show up at the event even though he's his family's favorite right now. Yet here he is, showing up first thing the moment something happens to Lyse.

"Hmph! Based on my years of experience as a prosecutor, I know he definitely has something to do with what happened earlier tonight. He probably worked together with

    "Who knows? Jameson might've been in cahoots with Zoe and responsible for what happened earlier tonight, all just to strike while the iron's hot!" Silas snapped. He wasn't as reserved as his brother was. So, he tore off Jameson's false mask right away.Winston and Lyla were shocked and in disbelief."I know none of you like me, Mr. Jonah. You all know I love Lyse deeply, too. But that doesn't mean you can slander me like that," Jameson said.He gently touched his glasses and continued, "I have no relations with Zoe whatsoever. The only time was during the horse races. She wanted to cause trouble for Lyse, so I went to Lyse's defense. That's it."You're Lyse's brothers, so I won't take further action this time. But I hope there won't be a next time."Fuck! If his father and Lyla weren't here right now, Silas would've cursed out loud already!He finally saw how someone could be so adept at shifting the blame from themselves!"Don't say things without proof, Silas," Winston reminde

    "Bitch!" Josh cussed internally. But because of his vanity, he couldn't argue with Colene outright. It'd be a literal cockfight.Victor's blood pressure was rising furiously. He didn't understand how one dinner could land his son in the police station as a criminal suspect!Lyla's heart filled with anxiety. Sweat began beading on her forehead.Rape … Who did David rape? Was it …Lyla recalled how Tatiana had shut herself up in her room. She had claimed she wasn't feeling well. Lyla hadn't been able to get her to come out of her room, no matter how much she knocked on the door. As a mother, her nerves were strung tight. Her breathing grew panicked as fear lanced through her chest."Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Josh, I understand that you're worried about your son, Mandy said, dragging Colene back behind her. Her gaze was calm when she continued, "But even if it was Jonah who sent Mr. David to the police station, that must mean Mr. David had done something wrong. Instead of trying to discuss

    Everyone was shocked.Victor and Josh were stunned to their cores, their mouths so wide it nearly touched the floor."Lyse, how could you…" Jonah gazed worriedly at his sister, feeling troubled.As Alyssa's big brother, he was responsible for dealing with any gunfire shot their way and protecting his siblings.Jonah wanted to handle this alone, but who knew his sister would make an appearance and provoke the Schmidt family? She had drawn enemy fire to herself now."Get it up? What do you mean, Alyssa Taylor?" Josh's elegant demeanor was nearly at its breaking point. He glared menacingly at Alyssa and said, "And… What did you say you did? You beat up David? You dared beat up my own brother? How dare you!""Why wouldn't I dare?" Alyssa's eyes narrowed as she grinned. "If David was daring enough to take advantage of Taty, then I'm equally daring enough to teach him a lesson!"Killing him would've been too easy. Scum like David deserves to suffer in prison with other scums like him.

    Otherwise, Alyssa would only help Jasper gain more enemies. The Schmidt family would definitely target Jasper if they knew."Oh, thank the heavens… thank the heavens!" Winston cried to himself, though he was still overwhelmed with anxiety for Tatiana."Sexually incompetent? How could my son be sexually incompetent?" Victor was stunned by this news. His face grew beet red with rage upon hearing Winston's words. "What did you just say, Winston Taylor? Are you cursing my son?""Curse?" Winston sneered angrily, his eyes boiling with fury. "David deserves hell for what he did to my daughter! If he wasn't your son, Victor, I would've made sure he didn't live to see another day! Beating him up and tossing him behind bars is already the greatest mercy I can give!"Victor and Josh's hearts lurched.They had come all this way to Belbanks just to demand an answer from the Taylor family, yet who knew they would end up humiliating themselves instead!Jameson's eyes were burning with anger.

    "Hmph! You're still so young, Josh. You can ask your father how I fought my way to where I am today if you're unsure." Winston's eyes gleamed ferociously. "Ask around and see just how terrible you'll suffer if you antagonize me!"Josh's heart quivered fearfully, but he still put on a tough, fearless act."I say this to all of you now, not as Cyrus Taylor of the Taylor family, but as the police—" Cyrus then displayed an arrest warrant for the Schmidt family to see. He continued, "The police have officially arrested David Schmidt under the charge of sexual assault. We have ample evidence and witnesses to support our case, too. You Schmidts can prepare yourselves to attend David's trial."Cyrus then smirked. "Or, should I say, criminal suspect David Schmidt's trial."Despair overwhelmed Victor and Josh.This was an official warrant from the police. They had no choice but to concede to the matter now.Josh tried fighting back but was swiftly stopped by Victor, who said quietly, "Wh

    A red sports car came to a stop in front of a club in the middle of the night. Amber stepped out of it dressed in a skin-tight black dress, showing off her curves. Her bejeweled heels glinted in the light, giving her a striking appearance overall."He's still inside, Ms. Altman. I've been keeping watch all this while." A lackey walked over to Amber from a dark corner.Amber tied her hair into a bun before decorating it with a silver hair stick studded with a ruby. Her beauty left the lackeys around her in awe."Wait outside and prepare to cover me."…Dim lights flashed in the club. Amber gritted her teeth together as she moved amidst the people who were enjoying their night. Her eyes were set on Axel who sat at the edge of the bar.The closer she got to him, the harder her heart pounded. The pandemonium around her seemed to disappear as if she was in a dream.Amber gently touched her hair stick. If things went according to plan tonight, her beloved hair stick would be used to

    Axel narrowed his eyes. "You're not here specifically for me, are you?" Amber ran her finger in slow, circular motions along his firm chest. "You should believe that we were able to meet previously because of fate, mister." Axel raised his brow. "I see. It was fated indeed." "Thank you for helping me the last time." Amber wrapped his black necktie around her hand. Her soft skin was brushing against his body. With a longing gaze, she looked at him and said, "I have been hoping to see you again. I was hoping to repay you." Axel's eyes turned dim. His searching eyes made her feel nervous. Yet, she tried her best to control herself. He had eagle eyes. They were like lie detectors. Strangely enough, he actually felt that her words sounded genuine at that moment. "Tell me, then. How were you thinking of repaying me, hmm?" Axel broke into a sly smile as he moved his lips closer to her. Amber's heart thundered in her chest. A light shade of pink colored her cheeks as she bl

    "It's your turn, mister..." Amber's heart skipped a beat. She was startled by Axel looking teary-eyed. His gaze was one filled with grief. His eyes looked dim, like an almost burnt-out shooting star."You've won. Good for you…"Axel smiled with his eyes as he gently pinched the top of his glass with his fingers, clinking it against hers. He continued, "I really hope that you can keep winning." Upon saying that, he finished the cognac in his glass. A trickle of the liquid spilled from his mouth, tracing the curve of his lip and descending along his impeccably sculpted jawline.Amber's eyes turned red. She felt like a buoy in the middle of the sea, floating beyond her control. She had never heard words like that said to her before. Others always required, dictated or commanded her to do things. No one had ever uttered a hopeful sentiment to her, wishing for her triumph or a future free from darkness. And that she could also have…All of a sudden, her mind went blank. She couldn't

    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. "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
