Chapter 1325

Author: Ginger Sue
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."

    Surprisingly, the dinner turned out to be a peaceful meal. Winston and Alyssa seemed to have a tacit understanding of one another. Neither of them made any mention of the things that would make each other upset. "Woah! Are you all having a feast by yourselves? How could you!" Cyrus came over after being tired of strolling around the house. He was also hungry, so he sat himself down at the dining table too. "That wasn't very hospitable of you, Lyse. Why didn't you call me over when there's a feast here? I don't even have an appetite as big as Silas'. Were you afraid that I'd gobble everything up?" Winston and Alyssa looked at Cyrus. In unison, they exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot about you!"…After dinner, Winston got ready to leave. Alyssa stood on the steps as she watched Winston and Neil depart. As for Jasper, he wasn't just going to stand and watch. He walked them straight to their car. Before Winston got into the car, he paused. He stood up tall and looked at Jasper with

    Winston said, "Everything else aside, there was one thing Lyse said that hurt me. She said that I had never known what her mother wished for…"Winston closed his eyes slowly. Tears moistened his long lashes, casting a sense of loneliness under the street lights. "Who else in this shitty world, other than myself, would understand her?" asked Winston. "Mr. Taylor, Ms. Alyssa is young. She hasn't experienced many of the things you've been through, so she's still ignorant." Neil let out a long sigh. "If she gets a chance to know everything about Mrs. Taylor in the future, she will come to understand your good intentions." …After Winston left, Angelina accompanied Lauren upstairs to rest. Alyssa and Cyrus sat in the living room to chat. "I wasn't the tattletale, Lyse. I swear!" Cyrus exclaimed with three of his fingers lifted. "I know. We Taylors are not such jackasses. Even Liam, who hates Jasper the most, would never use such a cheap method to pressure us via Winston." Alys

    Cyrus' casual description of Landon made the tension around them rise to the roof. Landon's eyes shot wide open, and his entire body tensed up! How could he describe him like that? He hadn't been away from his home for too long. During that time, Cyrus had already come to create chaos in his house? Alyssa and Jasper had heard the ruckus at the door. They walked on over. "Cyrus? You're still here?" Alyssa, sharp-minded, noticed the standoff between Cyrus and Landon, shooting them a suspicious look."Oh, I wasn't too sure how to open this door. Mr. Landon came back just in time and opened the door for me. I'll be leaving now." Cyrus looked back and smiled brightly at Alyssa, as if nothing had just happened. "Once this busy period is over, I will take you out to have some fun. You shouldn't be stuck living with this man every day. How boring is that." Jasper stayed silent. As much as he knew that Cyrus was kidding, Jasper couldn't help but feel jealous again. Even after C

    Landon swallowed hard as he felt a burning passion ignite within him. He had decided what position he wanted to make love to his delicate wife."Pervert!" Biting her red lips, Alyssa forcefully jabbed Jasper in the ribs with her elbow.The three of them took their seats back in the living hall.After a while, Lauren fell asleep watching the television. Angelina came downstairs and prepared them tea after settling Lauren down.She looked at Landon, wanting to say something, but stopped herself. She figured this wasn't the best time to report to him."I went back home." Landon lowered his head and drank his tea. His tone was low, and he sounded guilty. "Jasper, Lyse, I owe you an apology. My grandfather managed to arrange for the police to release Zoe."A cold glint instantly appeared in Jasper's eyes when he heard that name."She did something terrible, but it was not enough to convict her of it. I knew she would be released after being detained for half a month."Alyssa remain

    Carl thought Jameson looked extremely cool. Jameson was carrying a mesmerizing and manly vibe to him. He was sexy. He didn't understand why Alyssa didn't fall for such an outstanding man like Jameson.Then, the target slowly moved over.When it came close enough, Carl saw Jasper's picture on the target, and Jameson's shots had made a massive hole in Jasper's head."Amazing! You are such an amazing shooter, Mr. Schmidt. You have an eagle's eye." Carl clapped as he kissed Jameson's ass."It's too bad," Jameson said as he kept his gun."Too bad?""It's just a picture and not the actual person."Jameson did not look at him. He simply took a white silk handkerchief to wipe his gun. "You were looking for me?""Mr. Schmidt, we have news about Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor had sought out Ms. Alyssa and Jasper tonight. However, he did not bring Ms. Alyssa home with him." Carl's forehead was covered in cold sweat when he finished.As he expected, Jameson's eyes turned grim. "He didn't bring Ly

    The look on Jameson's face stiffened.Winston didn't confront him harshly. Yet, he felt every word that came from Winston's mouth was directed at him. A simmering anger in his heart caused his pale cheeks to burn."Uncle Winston, everything Jasper is doing is to appease and cajole Lyse."Jameson clenched his fingers tightly. His nails were digging into his palm. He was extremely hostile toward Jasper. "If he really loved Lyse, he would have been there for her during the three years of their marriage. Lyse is such a beautiful and astounding woman. She could tug the heart of any man."Yet, he had turned his back and abandoned Lyse. It shows that he wasn't genuine toward Lyse. It was never love!""It was never love?" Winston perked his eyebrow."Have you ever thought about when Jasper started falling for Lyse? It was when he realized the wife he had abandoned for three years was the daughter of the owner of the KS Group after their divorce."Everyone knows Jasper isn't born of Mr.

    Winston glanced at him suspiciously. "You seem to admire Jasper a lot."Neil stayed collected. "I think you've misunderstood what I mean. I'm just stating the fact. I've watched Alyssa grow up. I care for her too and wish she would marry well.""Aren't you indirectly praising Jasper by saying that?"Neil didn't dare say anything else.Suddenly, Winston halted in his tracks and gazed out of the window. Neil, perplexed, followed his line of sight. From this vantage point, he could clearly observe the exterior of Heightsnew Villa.With anger consuming him, Jameson violently threw the food he had brought for Alyssa to the ground. Unsettled, he began stomping on it, reducing the meal to pieces."Hmm… It looks like Jameson has quite a temper." Winston sneered and left.Neil glimpsed a completely different side of Jameson. He felt Alyssa was lucky not to have chosen to be with this hypocrite.…Winston used to shoot Jasper a cold side-eye and leave him out. Jameson never expected to

    But Alyssa was the love of his life. How could Jameson bear to destroy her?"Have you thought about what your next move is?" A subtle threat was woven into the man's languid voice."Sir, give me one last chance!" Jameson's face was as pale as a ghost. A sinister vibe emanated from Jameson like a demon struggling to escape hell. "Isn't your research center working on a drug that can induce heart paralysis? Could you provide me with one of those?""Hmm? What do you plan to do with that?" The man laughed mockingly. "Don't tell me you plan to use one of those on yourself."Mr. Schmidt, you are overestimating yourself. Haven't you stuck enough needles over the years? The drug hasn't passed its clinical trials yet. The risk is huge.""I know. But this is my only shot. I want to bet everything on it." Jameson's eyes were bloodshot. He was no longer thinking straight.The man sighed, "You still have so many years ahead of you and many other opportunities. Everything you do now is merel

    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

    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,
