Lauren covered her mouth with her hand. What did she just do?Ever since Landon got together with her, he had never touched any other woman. So, how could she touch another man? Was she… Was she dirty now? Did she betray Landon? "I'm… I'm sorry…" After being at a loss for words, she could only apologize. However, she wasn't sure if her apology was meant for Cyrus or Landon. "What are you sorry for, Ms. Lauren? I should be the one to apologize to you. I have been so busy that I haven't showered in three days. I'm sorry if I stink." Cyrus smiled. He noted that Lauren looked naively cute. "Madam Lauren!"Upon hearing some commotion, Angelina hurried over. She was also surprised to see Cyrus. "Mr. Cyrus?" Cyrus normally had a low profile. There were only a handful of people who knew of him. Angelina knew Cyrus only because Landon had mentioned him. Otherwise, the awkward situation when Axel visited might have been repeated. Cyrus peered inside. "Are Lyse and Jasper at home?

Cyrus looked toward Angelina, and she returned his gaze. Angelina became even more upset. She questioned Cyrus in a low voice, "Were you the one who invited Mr. Taylor over?" Cyrus widened his eyes. With an innocent look on his face, he answered in a serious tone, "Are you pointing your fingers at me? I might be Winston's son, but I am not a traitor. My loyalty lies with Lyse!" Angelina couldn't help but be amused by his quick-witted response. She whispered, "What should we do? Should I open the door?" Cyrus put his hands in his pockets and scoffed. "If you don't open the door, my Dad will kick the door down." Angelina was speechless. She didn't dare to keep their big-shot guest waiting. She took a deep breath, then opened the door. At that moment, the Taylor family's bodyguards filled the entire yard of their manor in a sea of black. Their presence was overbearing. Winston was standing at the door with a frigid look on his face. Neil was behind him. Before making his

Winston inhaled sharply. Steam was almost coming out of his ears! Angelina was not someone who was easily amused. But watching Winston and Cyrus bicker almost made her smile. They looked like such a loving and harmonious father-son duo. Then, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Lauren was carrying a tray. Carefully, she walked up to Winston and placed the teacups on the table."Mr. Taylor, please have some tea." Lauren's voice was gentle. As Winston watched her adorable face, he couldn't help but feel like doting on her. He smiled and said in a warm tone, "Oh? Hello, Lauren. I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to keep Alyssa company?" "I… I… Yes." Lauren flushed red with shyness. She wasn't dumb. She knew she couldn't answer by saying she was cohabiting with Landon. So, she could only give an awkward, perfunctory reply. "Anyway, that's not important!" Winston beamed with joy. He pulled Lauren closer to him and looked at her closely. "You aren't attac

"Oh, I see. I thought it was someone else." Winston didn't take Angelina's words seriously at all. He looked toward Cyrus as if he was about to entrust him with an important task. "You say that Landon will be asking for Lauren's hand in marriage. That means that he has yet to propose officially. Just because a goalkeeper is standing at the goalpost doesn't mean scoring is impossible. You still have a chance, Cyrus." Cyrus held his head in his hands. He was frustrated. He really wished that he could dig a hole for himself and hide in it right now. Just as Winston finished speaking, they heard the sound of quick and urgent footsteps approaching. "Winston! Why did you bring a whole troop of your people to our yard? What are you trying to do? Take the house down?" Alyssa had one hand on her hips. She glared at Winston angrily. Her emotional and mental state had settled down at this point in time, thanks to the power of love. She was no longer going to resist or fear facing off ag

The atmosphere in the living room turned frosty in an instant. Cyrus recognized that he couldn't and wouldn't be able to persuade Alyssa. If he tried, he would only make the situation worse. So, he retreated discreetly. Angelina also brought Lauren away, leaving space for the rest to talk. Jasper held his breath. His hands were trembling. Subconsciously, he reached out, wanting to hold Alyssa's hand. But, he stopped midway and curled his fingers in. He really didn't want Alyssa to leave. He was never a coward. When he loved someone, he would love them fully. When there was someone he hated, he hated them to the core. It was just that he was indebted to Alyssa. At the same time, he felt guilt toward Winston. No matter if it was the three years of heart-rending marriage or Alyssa's miscarriage… These were all his fault. He was the one who hurt Winston's precious daughter. He had committed an unpardonable sin. He didn't mind if Winston berated him or even beat him up again.

"Did you mean that?" Cyrus jumped. He turned around immediately. He hadn't realized that Lauren was behind him. She was hugging a brown fluffy teddy tightly and looking at him sheepishly. Lauren looked adorable to him at that moment. Cyrus's gaze became slightly deeper. He laughed light-heartedly and answered in a warm tone, "Of course I meant it. Did you paint this?" "Yeah, I did." Lauren nodded. "You must have put a lot of thought and emotions into it. It took quite a bit of effort, didn't it?" "Mm… That's alright. The most important thing is that Landon likes it." Lauren's eyes lit up at the mention of Landon. She smiled sweetly, and her face blushed pink. "Landon treats me very well. There is not much I can give him, so I just did this painting as a gift. I'm glad that he likes it." Cyrus' heart skipped a beat. Throughout all these years of being a police officer, he was always immersed in the dark side of the world. Every day, he fought fiercely with countless

Alyssa burst out laughing. She put the apron over Jasper's neck and then tied it around his waist. "Well, I have to say that Lyla has been feeding my dad well all these years. He has become an extremely picky gourmand."Jasper gulped, then took a deep breath. "But don't you worry. I will be here to guide you. You just have to follow my instructions, and you won't be too far off." Tenderness filled Jasper's eyes. He pulled Alyssa in for an embrace and planted a loving kiss on her forehead. "Yes, ma'am!"…"No! You've got the sequence wrong! You should've put the meat in first! " "Oh, no! That's too much vinegar!" "Oh, my! It's burning! You've got to flip it!" Jasper and Alyssa were making a racket in the kitchen, giving the impression that they were creating chaos. Initially, Winston sat in the living room with his eyes shut and resting. When he heard the commotion, he couldn't help but peer at the kitchen. The kitchen on the ground floor of the manor had an open conc

One agonizing hour later, Jasper served up a few fairly presentable dishes on the dining table. He could manage simple dishes. Once the complexity of the dishes had increased, he realized he wasn't talented at cooking! Moreover, these were dishes he had completed under Alyssa's supervision. If he had relied on himself, dinner would most likely be served at midnight. By the time Jasper was done, his forehead was covered in sweat. His white shirt was also completely soaked in his sweat. Alyssa noticed all these, and her heart ached for him. She picked up a piece of tissue to wipe his sweat for him. She pouted, "Winston is so troublesome. He has so many cooks at home. There is also Lyla, who is such a capable cook. Why did he insist on staying when he could have all the scrumptious food at home? He's just making things difficult for others!" "Lyse, you and Mr. Taylor haven't seen each other in a long time. Plus, you said it yourself that he can stay and try my cooking." Jasp

Hell on Earth? This place resembled a decrepit hospital. But why had Sheryl described it as "hell on Earth"?Amber's body convulsed uncontrollably, her consciousness flickering between clarity and haze. Fragments of memory surfaced—a dim recollection of drinking with Carl in the cellar after The Millennium's closure. She'd despised working with Carl but had cozied up to him for the sake of extracting information.Carl had revealed that "Sir" was deeply entrenched in the pharmaceutical industry. With connections to Mosgravia's government officials and elite circles, "Sir" wielded considerable power and ran a thriving business. Since his business revolved around pharmaceuticals, clinical trials were inevitable. To facilitate this, Sir owned a private hospital in Mosgravia.That hospital, however, was merely a façade. Beneath its sterile exterior, three basement levels housed patients—unwilling subjects for experimental drugs.Amber shivered. This place bore an uncanny resemblance t

"Amber will be fine," Jasper said confidently. "Based on Justin's way of doing things, he won't harm her for now. She's still useful t o him. He'll exploit her to control you and Alyssa, and to keep me from taking him down."Gripping Jasper's arm, Axel pleaded, "Jasper, I have to save my wife… What should I do?" His eyes were red, brimming with unshed tears.Steadying his breath, Jasper replied, "Even if it comes to killing Justin, it shouldn't be your hands that get dirty. I'll do it.""Are you kidding me? If we're taking that bastard down, we do it together!" Axel's expression was fierce and unyielding. "We went through the same military academy. We have to fight side by side!""Justin is my older brother. It's my family's matter to handle. And don't think I'm doing this for your sake—I have my own reasons."After a moment of silence, Jasper's voice softened. "I came to see you today for another reason. When you get home, don't blame Lyse. She's been torturing herself with g

When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based. Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness. A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray."Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest—you won't find her no matter ho

Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent. "Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly."Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much. As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore."I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!" With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone. "Ambs…"Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device. Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on. "What's the password?" Jasper asked g

"Five times more potent than the previous version? Are you sure it's safe for Remy to consume this?" Sheryl picked up the pill, unease flickering across her face. As much as she despised Remy, she couldn't deny his prowess as a fighter and his value as Justin's right-hand man. Having him around would certainly ease Justin's workload, prompting her to double-check."It won't kill him, but it won't be pleasant either. Don't worry—it's temporary," Justin replied, a sinister smile curling his lips. He continued nonchalantly, "When he takes the pill, his adrenaline will spike, flooding him with energy while his muscles tense. He'll feel both pain and euphoria. Then, it will fade, leaving him dependent on the drug moving forward." The implication was clear to Sheryl. Justin intended to control Remy through addiction. "Remy wasn't born for the shadows," Justin continued, his gaze darkened. "He's just a victim of post-traumatic amnesia, his nervous system subdued with sedatives and anes

"Got it, Mr. Harper!" Harper Group's subordinates acknowledged before swiftly dispersing. "I'm going to search for Amber too," Alyssa said, turning to leave.Jasper caught her arm. "It's freezing. Go wait in the car." Landon chimed in, "Lyse, listen to Jasper. Just wait in the car. We'll search for Amber.""No—I have to come too!" Alyssa sniffled. The sharp wind stung her face, leaving her nose raw and crimson, her eyes watering until they puffed into tender, swollen crescents. "Amber's in trouble because of me. I was careless—it's all my fault!""Lyse…" Landon's heart sank at her remorseful expression.Jasper's gaze softened as he studied Alyssa's pale face. "Her disappearance isn't your fault."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes as she shook her head. "Amber means everything to Axel. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to face him. I don't deserve to be his sister. Please, let me come with you."Jasper and Landon failed to dissuade her. Reluctantly, they agreed. Alyssa

After studying Sheryl for a moment, Remy turned and left."M-Ms. Gillis, are you okay?" One of Sheryl's subordinates came forward to help her up."Useless bastard! Why didn't you step in when he hit me earlier?" Sheryl's voice trembled with fury as her gaze fell on the crimson stains marring the pristine snow.Stammering, the subordinate replied, "R-Remy acted too quickly. Everyone in the organization knows how good of a fighter he is. None of us stood a chance against him!""S-Something wasn't right about him tonight." Sheryl watched Remy's retreating figure disappear into the distance, her voice dropping to a menacing murmur. "I need to report this to Mr. Justin in person immediately."Inside his car, Remy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands but made no move to drive.Closing his eyes, he felt a suffocating sensation rise in his throat, as though he were drowning in an endless, hopeless sea. He was just a speck, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.A shar

With a piercing gaze, Sheryl glared at Remy, who stood in front of her car with an air of frigidity around him. The temptation to ram her car into the crestfallen man was almost irresistible, but she didn't dare. Remy was Justin's right-hand man, and even her audacity had limits. Instead, Sheryl pulled her white coat snugly around her, stepped out of the car with feigned composure, and strode toward him. Hostility crackled between them as their eyes locked.Sheryl broke the silence. "Remy, is there nothing you'd like to update me about?" she asked with a sinister look in her eyes. Stiffly, Remy asked, "Where did you take that woman?" "How shameless of you to question me. Mr. Justin was wise to send me as backup. Otherwise, Amber would have escaped without a trace!"Gritting her teeth, Sheryl took a step closer to Remy. "Is this how you handle tasks entrusted by Mr. Justin? The unstoppable Remy, brought to his knees by a wild brat? Or did you let her go intentionally? Are yo

"Jameson and Carl have been eliminated. Who else could be targeting Amber?"A sharp glint flashed in Jasper's eyes as a thought struck him. "Could it be Justin or Sheryl?" he asked, his voice low and tense.He recalled seeing Justin in the living room earlier that evening, wide awake instead of resting. Was Justin waiting for something? Or perhaps, provoking him in subtle defiance?"They are the only ones I can think of with a grudge against Amber." Alyssa's anxiousness made her voice tremble. "Having worked for Jameson for years, Amber must have visited Mosgravia multiple times to meet with Sir—who is, in fact, Justin. "Justin wouldn't have met anyone else besides Jameson. But how could he leave no trace after all those interactions? Amber must have figured out his true identity. And Justin—he must have realized who she is, even with her changed appearance."Jasper's expression darkened. "So he decided to eliminate her as a precaution."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes, threaten
