The venue was in chaos, and security personnel were deployed to maintain order.

However, the event was grand, and numerous media outlets were invited. All the reporters swarmed Timothy, trapping him in the middle and making it difficult for him to move.

That was how the media industry worked. For them, scandals were like blood in the water, and they were the sharks.

Moreover, this was an epic scandal.

Victor's son-in-law, the hottest contender in the city's mayoral election, was actually involved in embezzlement and illicit affairs.

Who wouldn't want to be the first to report this? Every reporter was eager to devour Timothy alive.

"Mr. Hodgson, should I contact headquarters to send more personnel? The situation is getting out of control." Orlander's secretary hurriedly approached Orlander.

Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Orlander left the spacious stage to his rival with a smile that suggested he enjoyed watching the spectacle.

"Let's just quietly enjoy the show. You don't

    Silas' eyes were stern as he spoke. "I'm here on official orders. The Investigative Bureau has approved the arrest of Mr. Timothy Clemons for investigation. Please let us do our job.""We weren't notified. We only know that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to step inside." The bodyguard's attitude became more uncompromising.As Silas smirked, his eyes turned cold. "Do you know that you're already breaking the law?"The bodyguards had a strong backing, so they didn't take Silas seriously."Looking at your attire, you're obviously not official personnel. Given your fear of us entering to make an arrest, I'm suspecting you're affiliated with Schmidt Group." Silas chuckled.The bodyguards suddenly panicked.Before they came to stop the prosecutors, Josh had explicitly ordered them not to mention a word about the Schmidt Group, no matter how they were pressured.They just had to stall the prosecutors to give more time for the Schmidt family's operations. If Timothy was taken aw

    "Feel free to ask if you need my help, Mr. Beckett." Daniel was extremely polite as if Jasper were his boss.Meanwhile, the temperature in the car gradually rose. Jasper's and Alyssa's lips intertwined in a deep and lingering kiss.As Jasper reluctantly ended this euphoric moment, he smiled in satisfaction.No one could tell whether this satisfaction was due to Daniel's response or Alyssa's enthusiastic reaction.When the call ended, Alyssa's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat."Do you have clones? You're involved everywhere. You even have people by Orlander's side?"She lightly panted in Jasper's embrace, her gaze soft and tender. "Those people in the political field are all cunning. They're all snobs who favor the rich."Especially those in positions like chief secretary. Being the high-ranking officials' confidants, they're the most difficult to win over. How did you buy him over?"Jasper gently stroked her sweat-dampened hair, raising an eyebrow. "Because I'm ric

    As Timothy saw the prosecution team approaching him, he knew that he was doomed. His legs gave way, and he buckled in front of everyone.All social media and news platforms simultaneously replaced their headlines with a breaking news update—Timothy had been arrested.Quick-witted reporters had already rushed to Victor."Mr. Victor, do you have anything to say about the arrest of your son-in-law?""Are you aware of Mr. Clemons' actions?""Have you benefited during Mr. Clemons' years in office? Did he use his power to channel benefits to the Schmidt Group?"The furious Victor gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.He thought Josh would handle things well, but the prosecutors from the Investigative Bureau still barged in. And they were led by none other than Winston's second son, Silas!Both being business tycoons, it was a great disgrace for Victor to have his son-in-law arrested by Winston's son. What an insult to his dignity!If he had known, he wouldn't have stayed here.

    Jasper whispered, "My strong self-control crumbles before you."Alyssa's eyes were slightly red. Her voice was soft and melodious as she whispered back into his ears, "You were very capable. Tonight... you'll be rewarded."…This crucial seminar for Solana City concluded in a spectacular and absurd farce.Timothy's scandalous political career was exposed to the public, causing strong condemnation in society. It even alarmed the president, who ordered a thorough investigation into the Clemons family and all officials associated with Timothy to eradicate the corruption.Everyone in the political field felt threatened and hated Timothy to the core.Schmidt Group also suffered. Not only was its reputation damaged, but it had also lost its credibility, attracting attention from higher-ups.Victor checked Twitter on his way back home. When he saw his abandoned shoe at the scene being shared online with memes like "Get the same edition as the rich now", he was so furious that he yelled

    Victor massaged his temples, looking deeply troubled. "Who collected such detailed evidence? Who has the capability to bypass everyone and expose the evidence on the screen? Who has this much influence?""Who else? It must be the Hodgsons. After all, Parasite Tim is Orlander's archenemy. With the upcoming election, Orlander will surely go all out and crush his rival," David grumbled angrily."No, it's not the Hodgsons," Josh decisively stated."Based on what I know, they don't have that capability. Even if they had some evidence, they wouldn't expose it at such a crucial meeting. It wouldn't benefit them, and they might face consequences from higher authorities."Suddenly, realization dawned on him, and he clenched his teeth. "Why do I feel like this cunning and ruthless approach is something Alyssa would do?""Alyssa? Is it really that brat?" Victor was suddenly taken aback."Josh, do you have any evidence?"Jameson's eyes darkened with a cold glint. "Are you just throwing dirt

    Moonlight softly spilled into the room, and a delicate fragrance lingered in the air.The V-cut abs on Jasper's waist were taut, and his eyes were filled with intense desire as he looked at the woman sitting on him.The affection in his eyes was so intense that it could shatter the quiet night.He wished to make the woman he loved so much a part of his body."I haven't tried this before. Don't be disappointed if I don't do well." Alyssa pressed her delicate hands against Jasper's heaving chest, and she shyly bit her crimson lips.Meanwhile, Jasper held her slender thighs in both hands. He dared not reveal his excitement, restraining himself to the point that his fingers turned her skin slightly red.He hadn't expected that the "reward" Alyssa mentioned would be trying a different position.Although they had been intimate many times before, he initiated each time. He always used all his strength to provide her with a perfect experience.It was always him taking the lead, and she

    "Well done." Alyssa pecked Jasper's cheek, and the sound was loud.Being rewarded again, Jasper closed his eyes contentedly. "There's one more thing. There's movement on the Schmidt family's side.""Oh? What did they do?" Alyssa instantly became alert."They're planning to hold a press conference to clarify what happened at the venue last time.""Clarify? I think it's more like distancing themselves." Alyssa chuckled and drew a heart on Jasper's chest."Timothy has fallen. It's not just a talent groomed by the Schmidt family that has been ruined. They're all on edge, fearing repercussions from above."Jasper's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "To show sincerity, Schmidt Group will definitely hold a press conference as quickly as possible. It should be in the next two days.""Hmph! Although that corrupt Timothy is unforgivable, the Schmidts' two-faced demeanor is truly hateful.""Don't worry, Lyse. I said I would avenge Taty. I won't easily give up. If they hurt you or any

    Even without Jasper's presence, he was confident that the Taylors and the rescue team would have been able to save Alyssa. It became clear what the person manipulating Remy had been aiming for.But why had Remy let Jasper go at that crucial moment? Had he experienced a sudden change of heart? Or was he, in fact, Alyssa's brother, Damien?Jasper's mind filled with all kinds of thoughts. Before he could dwell too deeply, there was a knock at the door. Xavier hurried over to open it, freezing in shock when he saw who stood outside. "Mr. Winston?"Winston was leaning on Silas for support, his expression grim. "Mr. Beckett is in there, isn't he? May I have a word with him?" Xavier quickly stepped aside, gesturing for Winston and Silas to enter.When he saw the elder he respected standing at the door, Jasper struggled to rise from the bed despite his exhaustion. "Mr. Winston…" "You are wounded. Stay put!" Winston insisted, swiftly moving forward to gently press Jasper back down

    "Next time? There won't be a next time."Tears flowed down Alyssa's face, soaking Jasper's shirt with each drop. Her voice was quiet but steady, carrying the weight of her heartache. "Jasper… I'm drained. Sometimes, I think it might be better if you just forgot about me. It would be easier than this. Every time I let myself hope, all I get in return is disappointment."Jasper's chest tightened as her calm words pierced through him. Waves of emotion surged inside him, and a lump rose painfully in his throat.…It was fortunate that Jasper had found Alyssa in time to administer first aid. After rushing her to the ER, she slipped into unconsciousness. That being said, she was extremely lucky to have escaped death. Nevertheless, she needed to remain in the ICU for further observation. Aside from treating her frostbite, the doctors needed to assess whether her internal organs or brain had been affected.With the severity of Alyssa's condition, Sean couldn't keep the truth from Winsto

    "Jas…"Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused. "Yes, it's me—Jasper!"Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest."Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…" Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side."Alyssa! Stay awake!" Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to pu

    Elias frowned deeply; his worry etched onto his face. "We've been shouting Ms. Alyssa's name the whole way. With so many of us calling out, she should've heard us by now if she were nearby!"In a deep voice, Jasper said, "The wind is too strong, and then there's the heavy snowfall. Our voices are being drowned out. Lyse might not hear us at all."Lyse. Her nickname slipped from his lips before he even realized it."I'm just afraid she's injured—or worse, fainted. If she blacks out in this cold…" Elias trailed off, his voice heavy with dread. "On a day like this, she won't survive long. She'll freeze to death."The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of his words tightening their chests.It wasn't that Elias was being a doomsayer. Rather, this was the cruel reality that might actually happen. Crater Mountain claimed lives every year. Danger lurked unpredictably in the woods on the mountain—anything could unfold."Let's split up," Jasper commanded, his eyes fixed on t

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam?
