Axel let go of his complicated feelings about Alyssa and Jasper's relationship when he saw them very much in love.All he and his brothers wanted was to see Alyssa happy, and he realized that only she had the right to define her happiness.After going through ups and downs, she still chose to be with Jasper. Axel believed it'd be unfair and cruel to deprive her of a happy relationship."Jameson Schmidt has been manipulating Zoe, but she didn't rat him out even when we pressured her at the Jesseltons' event." Looking troubled, Jasper opined, "I believe this has nothing to do with her loyalty to Jameson. She is truly in the dark about the mastermind's identity."Alyssa nodded in agreement. Landon, fuming, rolled his fists and apologized, "Jasper, Lyse, I'm sorry. I take responsibility for her mistakes. My mom and I have spoiled her rotten.""Landon, don't. This has nothing to do with you," Jasper consoled him."How could she allow herself to be manipulated by that bastard?" Landon

Landon put on a bitter face. That certainly did not sound like a compliment. He regretted his playboy ways in the past. Even after he had turned over a new leaf, it was difficult to shake off that reputation."I checked the Third Eye. Jameson Schmidt is indeed the owner of The Millennium." Axel furrowed his brows. "He frequents the club and is very closely connected with officials in Solana City. The Millennium is, at best, a prostitution hub for the wealthy and powerful disguised as a club. I guess Jameson is the pimp.""The Third Eye? Are you serious? Why did you use the system of the Secret Intelligence Service?" Alyssa widened her eyes in disbelief. "That's an overkill. Axel, you shouldn't risk your career just to investigate Jameson.""It's worth it if it's for you." Axel squinted and held her hand. "Don't worry. It's fine to use the system once in a while. Besides, I would love to move on from Jameson Schmidt. I'll settle him as soon as possible for you and Jasper."Jasper wa

Jasper was reasonably worried. "She's failed her last mission. She might try again. After all, she's still working for Jameson. We don't know what tricks she'll pull next time."Axel snorted with a maniacal smile. "Hmph, no one could kill me."…Excruciating screams reverberated from the damp basement of The Millennium. Even Jameson's men winced as they stood guard at the door.Inside, a gory scene unfolded. Amber was chained by the wrists and hanging from the ceiling. Her frail figure was covered only by a thin lace nightdress, the white fabric soaked in blood.Once Jameson was tired from the whipping, he turned around and rested on the couch. He tossed the whip to Carl and downed a glass of red wine.Carl held the whip with trembling hands. "M-Mr. Schmidt, I…""Why? Can't bring yourself to whip her?" Jameson snickered maliciously. Behind his blood-stained glasses hid his eyes with a chilling gleam. "Do you want to end up like her?"Carl had no choice but to bite the bullet an

Jameson spoke, "So, have you found a man who cares for you?"His sarcastic grin pierced through her heart. "Do you think Axel Whiteaker loves you just because you've slept with him? Do you think he cares for you just because he gave you a box of gastric medication?"Letting go of her neck, he jabbed her on the forehead. "I thought you were smart despite your lowly background, but now, I realize you are useless. Giving you plastic surgery to look like Alyssa is an insult to her beauty."The man she had loved for a decade had become a total stranger to her. Tears of heartbreak streamed down her cheek, but Jameson was oblivious to her suffering. "Don't be delusional. I know the Taylors well. "They're just like me—they only have eyes for Lyse. You're from a lowly background, not least having worked for me. Do you think Axel would fall for you? He'll only kill you off when he learns about your identity."He took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and leisurely cleaned the blood

The caller chuckled. "Oh, what will you do, Mr. Schmidt? Your fiancée seems intent on putting you in trouble.""It's all worth it, even if she hates me." Jameson adjusted his glasses with an unreadable expression in his eyes."When are you going to get rid of Inigo? You'll be done for if he falls into Alyssa and Jasper's hands.""I bought a new private jet. It'll be delivered next week," Jameson replied with a chilling smile. "I'll send him and his sworn brothers on a trip to the afterlife with that jet."…After a brief catchup with Alyssa, Axel excused himself early, as he had to meet with Jonah and the rest.Meanwhile, Alyssa looked a little messy after a day of traveling. Although she had changed into fresh pajamas, her hair was soiled. As a clean freak, she couldn't accept it."Ugh! It's smelly!" She sniffed her hair in disgust. "I can't. I feel like I've just gotten out of the mud. I need a shower.""No, you're not smelly at all." Jasper pulled her into a hug and buried h

Why didn't she tell him? Why? Jasper repeatedly tortured himself with the same questions ever since he learned the truth.Had he known she was pregnant with his child and subsequently suffered a miscarriage, he might have acted differently."Jasper, please stop blaming yourself. You're not the only one at fault for failing to protect our baby. As the mother, I am at fault, too." She blinked and flashed a carefree smile at him, which only added to his heartache. She continued, "Even if you made it back on time on that day, there was nothing much you could do about the car accident. I'm thankful that Grandpa was safe, or else I'd feel guilty about it for the rest of my life."Tears brimmed in his eyes. Staring at her through tears, he felt his throat going dry. He croaked, "You had many opportunities to tell me about it afterward, but why did you keep it to yourself?"Lowering her gaze, she retreated into the bathwater, appearing somewhat pitiable. "You were busy with work all the

"What happened?" The look in Jasper's eyes hardened. He silently met Alyssa's eyes."Just now, Victor and Josh Schmidt bailed him out from the police station. Not only that, they brought along a group of reporters with them."Josh shamelessly cleared David's name in front of the media, claiming that someone had framed David. He said it was all a misunderstanding." Xavier's voice broke due to his rage."Fuck! How did that happen?" Alyssa jumped up from the bed. Jasper went pale and hurriedly pinned her back onto the bed. "Lyse, be careful! You don't want the needle to come off.""How is that possible? That fucking pervert couldn't have been released from the police station." Alyssa grabbed the phone and yelled at Xavier in panic, "Jasper and I have made the arrangements. Winston knew about this as well. Knowing how much he cares for Taty, there's no way he would allow the Schmidts to do so. Why didn't he stop them?""M-Madam, please calm down," Xavier croaked, his throat dry from t

Jasper's brief response was enough to prove the depth of his love for Alyssa.By then, Jonah and Alyssa had reconciled. After all, Jonah was as important as Jasper to Alyssa. It pained her to be angry at Jonah. All she desired was to fight against the Taylor family's control."But Jonah, why has David Schmidt been released on bail? Why hasn't Winston taken any action?" She was worried."That's the reason I called." Taking a deep breath, Jonah gritted his teeth and revealed, "Lyla discussed with Dad and decided to withdraw the lawsuit in consideration of Tatiana and the family's reputation.""They're dropping the lawsuit?" Alyssa and Jasper were astonished to hear that."Yes. Otherwise, David wouldn't have been released." Jonah sounded frustrated. "On top of that, the Schmidts had paid off the media to vindicate their son and portray him as the victim."Even if we wanted to take action, we can't do anything now that we've legally withdrawn the lawsuit.""Is Winston senile?

"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
