Mandy flipped, resisting the urge to grab a fistful of soil from the flower pot and shove it into Sinead's mouth."Mom, what did you say?" Sean rushed down the stairs to his mom with resentful eyes. He seemed to be burning in rage. "What did you just say? How could you?"The sight of Sean with gauze on his left eye and bruises on his face worried Sinead. She cried, feeling bad for him. "Oh, my dear son. What has happened to you? Who did this to you? I'll kill him!"Then, she reached out to touch his face with a trembling hand, but he swatted it away. He threatened, "If you want me to see you as my mom, you need to stop being mean."Sean felt his blood boiling. "By the way, Taty is my woman. I won't marry anyone except for her. Don't ever associate her with that trash of the Schmidt family!""Sean, you… you…" Sinead was tongue-tied after being shamed by her son in public."Sean, what are you doing?" Simon went up to hold his mother, concern etched on his face. "Mom missed you a lo

Despite wanting to keep Tatiana company, Sean had no choice but to see his mom to the hospital.Silence descended on the living room after the massive family argument just now. Too shocked to speak, Lyla clutched her sleeve with one hand and held Mandy's arm with another."Lyla, are you okay?" Mandy caressed Lyla's cold hand."I'm fine," Lyla croaked."The Schmidts are rascals, but the Lynches are not better." Mandy shook her head indignantly. "I thought they'd at least be grateful for Winston's favor. These ingrates! Sean is a good guy, but his parents and brother are unbearable. I'm worried they'd bully Taty if she marries Sean.""Mandy, that's enough." Lyla closed her eyes and shook her head remorsefully. "It's not anyone's fault. I'm the one to blame. I'm too weak and useless to promise my daughter a happy marriage."Unbeknownst to them, Tatiana had witnessed the scene unfold from the second floor. She overheard Sinead and Simon's taunt, and she saw Sean going against his fam

One day, Simon was relishing the company of escorts and good wine at a premium lounge in a luxurious nightclub. The air was filled with smoke and the sounds from partying.Sitting across from him was the heir of the Schmidt Group, Josh Schmidt. The fact that Simon was invited to the party that night meant he had received the seal of approval from Josh. The Schmidts were considered one of his connections now.Now acquainted with the Becketts and the Schmidts, Simon had no reason to fear the Taylors anymore."Mr. Schmidt, it was just a small favor. You're too nice," Simon remarked energetically with an escort in his arm."It's just a few drinks. Don't mention it." Josh swirled the wine and lifted a brow in amusement. "This is nothing compared to your brilliant suggestion of suing your brother for aggravated assault."For one, this is a revenge for David. Someone needs to pay for the suffering he had been put through. Besides, this is a good chance to break up Sean and Ms. Tatiana. K

After a belch, Simon grumbled, "Damn it! Do you really believe I would have willingly joined your ridiculous little party if I hadn't bungled the Sophia Kirkman case?"He tugged on his tie and spat on the floor. "Just wait and see. I'll secure a perfect win at Sophia Kirkman's court hearing. You'll beg for my help then, and I won't even cast a look at you!"As he reached for his phone to call an Uber, a group of hooligans sporting colorful patterned shirts under their suits approached him. Grinning, they wielded sticks and swiftly closed in on him."W-What are you doing?" Simon's eyes widened. He instantly sobered up."Can't you tell? We're here to rough you up." Just then, someone struck Simon's back with a stick, causing him to crumple to the ground.Coughing, he growled, "Do you know who I am?" His bones seemed to have cracked under the pressure. Huddled on the ground, he continued shouting at them out of pride, "I'm an attorney—the legal counsel of the Beckett Group. The presi

After David was bailed out, the first thing he did was to fix his two broken front teeth. Then, he continued his playboy ways under the Schmidts' protection. Despite having bruises all over his face, he remained unbothered and hired a couple of young models to have fun with.For that, he took Viagra to treat his erectile dysfunction, but he ended up overdosing. His eyes rolled back, and he foamed from the mouth. He had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.Upon learning about the incident, Victor was frustrated and worried. He had no choice but to keep it to himself while discreetly searching for a way to treat David's condition.He felt fortunate that the Taylors had withdrawn their lawsuit against David. Hence, he decided to lay low for a while before thinking about revenge.On the other hand, Simon suffered a worse fate. He was beaten up at the parking garage and later stuffed with excrement in the mouth, just like Nathan had promised Colene. In the aftermath,

"Why can't I? I'm your wife!" Daisy could not be bothered to maintain her image as the congressman's wife. Instead, she grabbed Timothy by the collar and shook him hysterically. "How could you do this to me after all I've done for you, you heartless bastard?"Just as she was about to slap him, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her hands to the back. Losing her balance, she knocked against the door and inhaled sharply from the pain. "Argh!" She widened her eyes in shock as she complained, "How dare you hit me? I'm the daughter of the Schmidt family. Lay a finger on me? I'll tell my dad and Josh about this!""Tell them, then! I've had enough of you, you filthy bitch!" Timothy lost his cool and pointed a finger at her stunned face. "The election is around the corner. If you make a scene, all your efforts will go down the drain. You and I are chained by fate. If I go down, you'll go down with me!"The color drained from her face as she stared blankly at Timothy. She had never expected t

Alyssa had dreamed of hearing such loving words from Jasper's mouth for a long time, but they remained a dream. Now that Jasper clung to her and repeatedly showered her with sweet talk, she found it a little annoying.Every time he touched and kissed her, he'd set off fireworks in her mind. Succumbing to his charm, she allowed herself to fall deeper into him.Even if she did not express her love in the form of words, Jasper could tell from her reaction to him.Gathering herself, she wrapped his tie around her fingers. "Jasper, weren't you a gentleman in the past? Why are you like a dog that's gone into heat?"She suddenly covered her mouth upon realizing her wrong choice of words. He might have acted like a hot-blooded teenager, driven crazy by lust, but she decided to watch her mouth out of respect.To her surprise, he panted heavily, eyes dripping honey. He caressed her nape and pressed his forehead against hers, saying, "Lyse, I'm your dog."Her heart raced wildly as her cheek

The atmosphere in the grand hall of the city hall was tense and serious. The audience was comprised of important officials and business representatives from Solana City and all across the nation. At that moment, Orlander Hodgson was delivering a keynote speech onstage. Members of Congress and business representatives sat in the front rows, while family members like Daisy were arranged to be seated in the back.As the only daughter of the Schmidt family, Daisy was especially important in high society. Still, today's event was mostly their husbands' arena. As a spouse, she had no say in the event. An attention-seeker, she was displeased at the treatment at the event, especially knowing that she was the reason behind Timothy's career success. Without the support of the Schmidt Group, the guidance of Victor Schmidt, and her meticulously crafted public persona, Timothy would never have achieved success smoothly.The more she thought over it, the happier she felt. It took her mind of

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"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
