Chapter 1360

Author: Ginger Sue
"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!"

    "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,

    "Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa, we're here. This is Maggie Madison's home," announced Xavier while scanning the environment.Having grown up in a highly educated family, Xavier had performed dirty work for Jasper over the years, but never had he witnessed such an awful living environment. Since they did not have bodyguards with them, he felt quite tense.Unlike Xavier, Jasper calmly got out of the car. As it had rained earlier, Jasper stepped right into a muddy puddle as soon as he disembarked. The mud splashed all over his expensive shoes, but he remained unbothered and seemed at home."Mr. Beckett! Look out! The ground—" Xavier tried to warn Jasper, but it was too late.Jasper said casually, "It's fine."Alyssa had wanted to follow suit, only to be lifted off the seat. She gasped and panickedly wrapped her arms around Jasper's neck.He had lifted her into his arms because he didn't want her to walk in the mud. He grinned and said, "What are you panicking over?

    Alyssa looked up into his eyes which burned with passion. She understood him well even without exchanging words.Alyssa, Jasper, and Xavier went to the top floor past a narrow corridor and stood in front of the door of the innermost unit. Before they could knock, an old woman with a walking stick slowly made her way down the stairs.Upon seeing the trio in black suits, the old woman appeared triggered and started trembling. Tapping her stick hard on the ground, she hissed, "H-How dare you show up at the Madisons' again? "Do you think you can easily bully the poor single mother and her daughter, thinking they don't have anyone to stand up for them? They said they would retract the lawsuit, so what more do you want? Do you want them dead?"Alyssa and Jasper exchanged glances, knowing that the Schmidts must have shown up to threaten and harass the Madison family. They could imagine the snicker on the faces of those bullies from the Schmidt family."No… Ma'am, please calm down. We're

    Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

    Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa

    Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

    Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

    The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

    Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

    Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

    The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

    The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g
