Almost immediately, Jasper noticed the figure lurching at him at an incredible speed.Axel threw out solid and swift punches with the determination to cripple the latter. Jasper's eyes deepened as he dodged two of Axel's moves."Ho, you're something," Axel squinted his eyes and said mockingly. Eyes burning in anger, Jasper took a few breaths to compose himself.It had been years since he retired from active military duty. Although he kept up with his boxing training and workout sessions, it had been a while since he fought someone. He had to rely on his solid foundation and muscle memory to fight off the attacker.After a few rounds, Jasper picked up on the familiarity in the opponent's moves. The moves reminded him of the close-quarters combat lessons from the military academy he had attended."Who's this mysterious man?" wondered Jasper."Ouch—" Jasper was kicked hard in the abdomen and yelped in pain in that moment of distraction. Despite stumbling backward, he quickly steadie

However, the bullet did not hit Axel."Ugh … It hurts …" Alyssa, who had shown up from nowhere, hugged Axel tightly. The bullet had hit her in the left shoulder.Although Landon had only fired off a wax bullet, it had caused severe damage.Alyssa was drenched in sweat and trembling. Even so, she would not let go of Axel no matter what happened.Jasper's eyes widened in shock. His heart sank, and he felt as though he was falling from a high place.All the pain in his body was nothing compared to the blow he received when Alyssa shielded the attacker.She might be his ex-wife, but when she saw her ex-husband attacked, the first thing on her mind was to protect the assailant who'd almost beaten him to death."Alice White, how could you do this to me?" he seethed. What she had done was outrageous. She was technically the accomplice to the attacker."Lyse!" Axel looked at Alyssa frantically and held her frail shoulder. When he checked his hand, it was stained with her blood.Taking

Alyssa silently cursed, "Oh, fuck! Is Landon Harper alright?"She chuckled awkwardly. "Mr. Harper, you are joking a lot today.""I'm not joking. Alice, I'm serious!" In the heat of the moment, Landon reached for her shoulder, but she deftly dodged his advance."If I recall correctly, I have cleared the air with you this morning. Do I have to be harsh for you to listen to me?""I know you turned me down." He smiled bitterly while staring keenly at her. "And I know you're with Jonah Taylor. But I still want you to know I'll be here if you ever turn around. I don't mind being your second choice. I can even be your second husband!""My second husband? Please, I'm not Winston Taylor." She secretly scoffed. Still, she silently admired his ravishing eyes that were dripping with resentment. He could charm anyone and take their soul with those eyes. No wonder he was successful with women.Too bad Alyssa was immune to his charm. In comparison, she'd much prefer Jasper's bewitching eyes t

Riding the high of the alcohol, Jasper let out all his frustrations. As a disciplined and reserved man, he had never let out a sound, even when he was hit twice by bullets on the battlefield. Somehow, he lost control of himself at this moment."You're not angry because my people hit you. And definitely not because I almost died from the gunshot. You are angry because I lied to you. Is that so?" She felt a crippling pain as she was awash with disappointment.That seemed to catch him by surprise. He pursed his lips in silence."We are living separate lives now. What's the point of fussing over these details? It's meaningless."She went on, "You're only angry because your possession now belongs to someone else. You hate the feeling of losing something you once owned. "You detest the feeling of losing control. That's all. Mr. Jasper, in the interest of your health, let's use the time to discuss the compensation.""I can settle with you in private." He shut his eyes for a moment befo

Jasper brushed his inner lip against his teeth. A headache crept in, and he immediately sobered up. He had never taken the initiative to kiss a woman before. The only two times that happened was when Liana pressed herself against him. Even then, he merely allowed her to kiss the corner of his lips.He surprised himself when he couldn't get enough of his kiss with Alice. It was unfathomable."I drank too much tonight. I couldn't sober up no matter what." He leaned helplessly against the bed and massaged his forehead. "I can't drink like this anymore. I'll only get myself into trouble.""Bullshit! You took advantage of my poor Alice and kissed her when you were 'drunk'! You're the worst bastard ever!"Curling his fists, Landon circled the room in anger. He would have beaten Jasper up if Jasper weren't injured. Jasper insisted that he lost control of himself under the influence of alcohol. Still, he couldn't deny that it felt exceptionally sweet and lovely when his lips touched he

Alyssa squinted coldly at Silas. "You called me earlier tonight and worried that Axel would make a move on Jasper. Why the sudden change in your attitude?""So it was you who ratted me out! Silas, you little shit!" Axel scrunched up his eyes and gritted his teeth. "I'll tear you into pieces!""How dare you speak to your brother like that? You little rascal! Lyse, don't hold back. What he needs is a good lesson. You should have thrown him into the fire." Silas decided to add fuel to the fire since Alyssa wouldn't listen to him anyway. Knowing Axel was in grave trouble, he wanted to stay out of it. "Axel, are you not ashamed of yourself for talking to Silas like that? Aren't you going to admit your fault?" She was incensed."What fault? I beat up Jasper just for you!" Axel was adamant and rebellious."You wretched thing!" Alyssa slapped the armrest but accidentally pulled on her wound. She moaned in pain and flinched a little."What's wrong, Lyse?""Are you okay? You're scaring

The image of an affluent socialite that Betty had carefully crafted for years fell apart at the press conference. That night, she returned to Seaview Manor weak and defeated. The maids had to help her into the house.She wailed, "Mom, you must get back at them for me! I'm so upset!"Her face was tear-stricken and full of snot. "Everyone's cursing me online. I can't go out in public anymore!""What can I do? Should I slap Jasper or force him to hand over the role of president to you, little dimwit?" A furious Sophia pointed a finger at Betty's teary face. "What did I tell you before you left? I told you to recite my script, word by word, and never put on any makeup! You needed to show up bare-faced to appear sincere!"Sophia went on, "But what did you do instead? You went against everything I planned. You deserved everything that happened to you. What's the point of crying in front of me? Even your dad has given up on you!""Mom, it's all my fault. I should have listened to you.

Jasper solemnly took the yearbook proffered and began skimming through.His opponent from that night had a similar physique to him. Though he wore a mask, Jasper felt the man was very familiar. They must have met once before.His understanding of Axel's background was limited. Their military school followed a policy of safeguarding identities and related issues. But now that Jasper knew of his identity as Alice's brother, the clouds were clearing up.After some time, Jasper leaped up in surprise, staring at the yearbook on his knee. The gesture surprised Xavier, who also jumped slightly at the commotion."Did you see something, sir?""Hm … him, of all people?" Jasper murmured to himself.The man he'd hone in had a wide, handsome smile. Below his picture was the name "Axel Whitaker.""Axel Whitaker … Whitaker … No wonder he seemed to know her!" Jasper exclaimed.He had fond memories of the man. The two were one of the strongest individuals in the school. Their only worthy oppone

"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

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
