After washing up, Alyssa changed and went downstairs for lunch with Jasper. It had been a while since she enjoyed Mrs. Rosie's cooking, and she wolfed down the food as Mrs. Rosie watched on with a motherly look. "Wow! It's delicious!" Alyssa licked her lips and burped after finishing the food. Then, she handed Mrs. Rosie the plate and said, "Mrs. Rosie, one more plate, please! Pile as much food as you can on it!""Roger that, Madam Alyssa!" Mrs. Rosie happily went to refill the plate for Alyssa. Like any parent, she felt glad to see Alyssa eating well."Lyse, take your time. You don't want to stuff yourself," Jasper reminded Alyssa dotingly.He picked a napkin and wiped away the grease on her lips."Why aren't you eating? Are you on a diet?" She leaned toward him and enjoyed his service."I'm not too hungry.""You should have told me earlier! Mrs. Rosie makes wicked seafood dishes. I left some for you because I'm worried there wasn't enough food for us!" She reached out for the

Jasper took a seat by Alyssa's side and placed the desserts in front of her. She greeted Xavier, "Xavier, it's hot out there! Here, have some water and desserts before we discuss." She then pushed the platter of desserts to Xavier."Thank you, Madam Alyssa! You care for me!" Xavier looked touched by her concern.Envious, Jasper shot Xavier a look and snapped, "Hurry up. Let's get down to business soon."Xavier gobbled up a piece of cake and dabbed his lips with a hanky. Sitting upright, he reported, "I informed Mr. Galini about Sean Lynch's arrest per your orders. I've even submitted a detailed report to him. "This morning, Gabe Barrett has been suspended from his duty due to abuse of power. The authorities have taken him away for investigation. "Hmph! He's surely losing his job because of all the illegal deals he's involved in. The Schmidts will lose one of their lackeys.""Okay." Jasper nodded calmly. People like Gabe, who were tasked to clean up the mess of the Schmidt F

"Madam Alyssa, the land auction process is messed up in Tsulu. Don't you agree?" Xavier took the opportunity to praise Jasper to the heavens, "Fortunately, our wise Mr. Beckett brought up the issues to Mr. Jonah, just in time to turn things around. Mr. Jonah would suffer a greater loss if the construction kicked off.""Xavier, are you implying that Jonah isn't as wise?" Alyssa crossed her arms and directed an imitating gaze at Xavier. The latter tensed up and clarified, "M-Madam, please don't misunderstand! That wasn't what I meant!""Xavier, watch your mouth." Jasper cast a piercing glance in Xavier's way. "He who talks much errs much. Remember, your bonus…"Xavier was even more intimidated by Jasper's subtle threat on his bonus.To err was human nature, and the same applied to businessmen. Jasper wasn't born with keen business acumen. It was the cumulation of experience from years of running the Beckett Group and making various mistakes along the road.He was slightly more knowl

"W-What? Did that bastard walk away scott-free?" bellowed Alyssa.She left Jasper's arms and stood up in shock, nearly giving Mrs. Rosie a heart attack from her sudden yelp.Jasper's expression fell after he overheard Cyrus' update."That's impossible! Jameson will ensure that he has his enemy crushed. So, how did they manage to bail David out? Is there something wrong with the evidence?" She froze from head to toe and trembled incessantly.Jasper quietly stood up and placed a hand on her waist to comfort her."We have solid evidence against David, or we wouldn't have issued a warrant." Cyrus sounded upset. "We did not expect the victims to suddenly change their stances. The girls told us that they weren't sexually assaulted. They said they willingly had intercourse with that bastard. The same goes for the two minors.""How is that possible? Why didn't they mention it until now?" Worried, Alyssa pleaded, "Cyrus, something's off. The police must look into it!""Of course, somethi

"I believe the public is aware of Ms. Alyssa's upright character. She wouldn't have performed the surgery on David if he were an indecent chap because that would be endorsing evil. Am I right?"Josh had dropped a highly suggestive and shocking statement. David was known as a good-for-nothing with questionable ethics. Because of that, Josh did not bother to clear David's name, seeking instead to vindicate him. He couldn't care less for David's reputation.However, Alyssa was a different case altogether. Josh opted to announce Alyssa's surgery on David at this critical time to establish her alliance with the Schmidts.He wanted the world to believe that Alyssa would ultimately side with the Schmidt family despite her virtuous character. "I hereby offer a sincere apology on behalf of David and the Schmidt Group for taking up everyone's time," Josh concluded. "We will exercise greater caution in the future and humbly heed the public's feedback and criticism."With that, the news stre

"Whatever. We can't control what others say, so let them be. Josh Schmidt might think he's dealing a blow to me, but he has underestimated me." Alyssa declared, lifting her chin proudly and smiling. "We don't have to do anything at all.""Lyse." Jasper's breathing grew heavy. He held her hand tighter."Fame always comes with trouble. The netizen's attack only proves my popularity." Waving her hand, Alyssa added, "Remember, explaining yourself is dumb behavior. You're not going to rip your heart out to prove a point when accused of having an ugly heart, are you? Let's ignore that troublemaker, Josh Schmidt. He's going to shoot himself in the foot one day."Then, she put on a serious face and said, "I'm more concerned about the girls who suddenly changed their minds. I suspect the Schmidts have pressured them into it.""They come from ordinary families. There's no way they could fight against the Schmidts." Lowering his gaze, Jasper analyzed, "As for the two minors, they not only suf

The netizens commented. "Alyssa Taylor performing surgery on David Schmidt? Why did she save that scoundrel? Are they secretly dating or what?""I was right. The tycoons are all in it together. They benefit from each other, and Ms. Alyssa is no different, even if she acts all righteous. Us peasants are the ones who ultimately suffer.""Alyssa Taylor, I'm so disappointed in you. You've lost a fan! I am disgusted!""Hahaha! Josh, look at these comments. They're fucking explosive!" Crossing and swinging his leg, David remarked, "One of them even suggested that I was dating Alyssa Taylor! Hahaha! I bet Jasper Beckett would die of envy when he read it! Say, will he come at me tonight?"Well, it'd be fucking awesome to date Alyssa Taylor. See her body? It must feel great fucking that ass!"Josh, disturbed by David's vulgar speech, cut him off sternly, "Feel great? Can you even enjoy sex now?""Why do you always hit me where it hurts?" David looked aggrieved."Alyssa is not an easy tar

David stared hostilely at Jameson's innocent and friendly expression. Raw anger shot through him. Just as he was about to go off, Josh shot an icy glare at him, hinting at him to hold back. David's mind immediately cleared up.When they were in the car just now, Josh had remarked that Alyssa Taylor might not be the mastermind behind David's arrest.Memories of their conversation resurfaced. Back in the car, Josh had mused, "She would have dealt with you right after you assaulted Tatiana if she wanted to. She wouldn't have waited until now to make a move. Besides, no one else except me knows the details of your relationships with those girls.""Who's that motherfucker that wanted me dead? I'll tear them into pieces!""It's Daisy.""R-Right! That filthy bitch! She must have snitched on me for a reduced sentence! I'll send someone to teach her a lesson!""Even if she knew about your relationships and snitched on you, there wasn't much she could do as a prisoner. The police wouldn'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

Searching for Amber without direction would be pointless. Jasper made a swift decision to bring Alyssa back to the manor, shielding her from the relentless chill of the wind. Once inside, he immediately began organizing the search. He deployed his men and contacted Landon, requesting additional support.The two of them sat together on the couch.This time, there was no space between them. It was as though an invisible force drew them closer, their proximity feeling natural yet electric. Neither could say who had moved first.Alyssa, however, was in no mood to dwell on their closeness. Wrapped in her down jacket, she curled up on the couch, her arms hugging herself tightly. A quiet frostiness emanated from her as she sat in silence, listening to Jasper's calm and methodical calls to mobilize his team.In the past, his composed presence would have been enough to ease her mind. But now, her thoughts were a tangled mess, each one like a razor claw tearing at her heart. The pain was u
