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

    Then, Josh flashed a generous smile and patted Jameson on the shoulder, saying, "Dad is getting old, and recent events have taken a toll on him. It's time for him to rest. Come to me for work discussions instead of bothering Dad.""That's right, Jimmy. You have a lot to learn from Josh—he's the president after all," Victor chimed in, reinstating his trust and respect for his eldest.Jameson glared at Josh, his deep eyes spelling danger, but managed a humble smile. "Josh is indeed capable. I have much to learn from him. Josh, best of luck with your new project."…Leaving the study with a scowl, Jameson walked down the corridor. Josh caught up, calling out, "Jimmy, why the rush? Dad wants to have dinner with all of us.""Do you really want to have dinner with me?" Jameson spun around and fixed his piercing gaze on Josh."Of course. Why not?" Josh broke into a smile, unable to suppress the glee from his recent victory. "I enjoy seeing you seething from losing out to me. More than a

    "Lyse is like a pure and innocent goddess to me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any nearer to her. You will never understand the extent of my pain." Jameson shut his eyes and grappled with the piercing heartache.His heart drummed against his ribcage, begging to be freed. Trapped in despair, it was a howling beast demanding to be released."I had once wanted the best for her. But now, I even entertain the idea of hurting her. If she's a goddess, I'd like to defile her, pulling her to my level…"He thought, "Alyssa Taylor, I am a cunning scorpion. A scorpion is cruel in nature. It'd sting the frog that helps carry it over the river."But I won't kill you. I'll simply love you in my own way."…It didn't take Jasper long to get his hands on the addresses of the two young girls. The next afternoon, Xavier drove Alyssa and Jasper to meet with the two victims in the hope of convincing them to serve as witnesses in court.To avoid imposing pressure on the girls' families,

    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? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her
