Chapter 1376

Author: Ginger Sue
In Solana City, Tatiana stood alone outside the East Solana Police Bureau. She gritted her teeth and walked in.

"Are you here to make a report, miss?" asked a female officer.

Tatiana nodded vigorously. She asked softly, "May I know if Cyrus… I mean, Chief Cyrus is around?"

Cyrus had been busy for two days and two nights. He was sleeping soundly in the lounge room at the time.

The moment he found out that Tatiana was there to see him, he leaped to his feet and went out to meet her.

In the office, Tatiana and Cyrus sat facing each other. She interlocked her fingers and rubbed them together until her knuckles turned red.

Cyrus studied her carefully. He asked in a concerned voice, "You showed up unannounced. Did something happen, Taty?"

Tatiana was tender-hearted and timid. She had always been overshadowed by Alyssa ever since she was a child.

Despite being half-siblings, Cyrus was never biased. He always treated her the same as Alyssa. Each time he went on a work trip and

    It was still early in the night. Alyssa and Jasper met up with Sean. After that, the three of them made their way back to Solana City as quickly as they could. Along the way, Sean made endless attempts to call Tatiana. In the end, her phone was simply just shut off. "Taty… Why aren't you picking up? Taty!" Sean mumbled to himself incoherently. He was a bundle of nerves. "Everything will be alright, Sean." Through the rearview mirror, Jasper could see that Sean's eyes had turned red. He continued in a warm voice, "I have already asked Xavier to go to Taty's school to look for her. Solana City is also just half an hour away. We'll head straight to Solana Film Academy." In her uneasiness, Alyssa clenched her clothes tightly. Cold sweat had formed on her forehead. She stuttered, "Jasper, I really regret it now. I shouldn't have blown up at Taty." "Don't say that, Lyse." Jasper pulled her in for a loving embrace. "Taty isn't such a wilful person. Moreover, the both of you gr

    Alyssa was frustrated. She put her palm to her forehead and exclaimed, "Cyrus, I can't believe how thoughtless you are!" Jasper felt his jaw tense up. His head was spinning. Just as he was trying to come up with what to do next, a few chatty female students walked out of the school's back gate. They were scrolling on their phones and having a discussion among themselves. One of them said in a mocking voice, "Oh, my God! This can't be real! Isn't this Tatiana from the Performing Arts Department at our academy? I can't believe that she started a livestream to accuse David of assaulting her!"At that moment, it was as if Alyssa, Jasper, and Sean had all been struck by lightning! All the blood drained from Sean's face. His body started to tremble as he staggered backward. "Tatiana is already famous for being a belle at our school. She has already stolen the limelight. It has only been a few days since graduation. Yet, she's already feeling lonely and hungry for attention?""Wel

    Alyssa was Tatiana's elder sister?The students were floored. They stood there stiffly. The bawling student stopped crying. The student who had fallen on the ground was shaking like a leaf. She cupped her swollen cheeks. Attempting to retreat, she endeavored to move backward yet found herself already pressed against the wall.Even though Tatiana was from the Taylor family, she normally kept a low profile. Her lifestyle was no different from the average woman. Who would have thought that she was the daughter of one of the richest men around? Jasper, Sean, and Xavier reacted to the circumstance with different expressions on their faces. Yet, they each admired Alyssa in their own ways. At first, Sean had the impulse to ditch all manners and charge forward to give those outspoken women a piece of his mind. To his surprise, Alyssa moved quicker than he anticipated, turning the tables and being the one to school them instead.On the other hand, Jasper relaxed his tightened fists sl

    Alyssa breathed heavily, feeling anxious. "The most important thing now is to find Taty. She's really crazy. How could she expose this live? She's throwing herself into the abyss!"Jasper's heart clenched as well.No one understood better than he and Alyssa what it was like to be thrust into the spotlight. One wrong move, and they would be sent plummeting from the heights to their downfall."Ms. Alyssa!" Sean ran up to them. His voice was hoarse from the urgency. "Taty is still livestreaming, and the viewer count has exceeded two million! Why... Why would she suddenly expose this? What did Mr. Cyrus say to her?"Alyssa stared at the screen, where Tatiana sat upright. Though her expression was pale, she looked serious. Her eyes were shining with unwavering determination.Seeing that, Alyssa felt like her heart was being crushed by a pair of giant hands, spasming with pain.Meanwhile, below the livestream, the comments were flooding in at such a rapid pace that it was dizzying. But

    Tatiana struggled to hold back her tears, but her voice still broke. "I'm one of the lucky ones among the victims, but I refuse to stand by and watch. When no one speaks up for me, I'll speak up for myself."When no one stands up, I'll stand up for them. I may not be a hero. But even if I might be in danger, I'll never stand by and watch David, that beast, trample on the innocence and dignity of those ladies while he roams free."As her words trailed off, Alyssa's eyes were filled with tears. Her tears eventually fell onto the screen.She deeply regretted her narrow-mindedness during this time. At the same time, she felt immense pride in her sister, who fearlessly spoke out.Sean turned away as well. His broad shoulders trembled as he suppressed his tears. He quietly rubbed his eyes."Lyse, Taty has really grown up. She's no longer the little girl who needs your protection." Jasper sighed, feeling sorry for Tatiana and also relieved.Alyssa managed a smile through her tears. "Yea

    "Lyse, Jasper…" Tatiana, nestled in Sean's embrace, lowered her voice, drooping her head guiltily.Alyssa pretended to be angry as she put on a stern face. "You're all grown up now, right? Acting first and reporting later.""Ahem... Lyse, Taty didn't report anything, though."Jasper blinked his eyes, stupidly adding, "It was you who cleverly discovered that the layout of the livestream room looked like your hotel. You called the front desk to check the guest information to find out Taty was here.""So, should I scold her?" Alyssa glared at him sharply.The dignified Jasper shut his mouth at once.Well, there was nothing he could do. He was the one who made himself a henpecked husband anyway."Lyse, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong." Tatiana sniffled, then steeled herself and spoke with determination. "But even if you're angry at me, I have no regrets about the choice I made today."Lyse, do you know? It's been a long time since I felt so proud of myself. I feel like I'm doing some

    Tatiana, who moments ago displayed the demeanor of a heroine, suddenly wilted upon knowing it was her father calling. She lowered her head."It's okay, Taty."Sean embraced her tightly, gazing at her with resolute but affectionate eyes. "I'll be with you. I'll go home with you. If Mr. Taylor wants to scold you for this, I'll take the blame for you.""H-How can you do that? Dad's very scary when he's angry," Tatiana mumbled, feeling nervous.Sean chuckled softly. "I'll say… 'Dad, if you want to vent your anger, take it out on me. Don't ruin your relationship with Taty.'"Tatiana's heart skipped a beat at his words. She felt a tingling sensation coursing through her body. Her fair face flushed, making her look so adorable that Sean couldn't take his eyes off her.While this young couple discussed their plans earnestly, Alyssa was at her wits' end.She wasn't afraid of Winston. She was worried that he would blame Tatiana and ground her at home. This would make life for this young c

    Tatiana turned pale. She cautiously took the phone and pressed it against her reddened ear. "Dad...""Taty, your livestream has caused quite a stir outside. But you're quite smart to choose our own hotel. You must have learned such a cunning move from Lyse, right?" Winston mocked."N-No..." Tatiana was afraid and became tongue-tied. "Dad, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please don't blame Lyse.""Feeling any better after venting all that frustration?"Winston's sudden question caught Tatiana off guard. "What?""I know that matter has been weighing on your heart. Your mom almost cries every night in her room because of it."If standing up tonight and exposing David's heinous act can make you feel better, then I fully support your decision." Winston's deep and gentle voice was like a soothing balm as if he were afraid of scaring his timid daughter.A strong wave of emotion surged, causing Tatiana's eyes to turn red. "Dad... I...""Good girl, don't cry and don't feel guilty. You wer

    "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
