"P-Police? Those lowly pawns are back again?"The days David spent in the detention center were hell for him. He never wanted to go back to those days of eating poor food and enduring the stench. He was scared out of his wits. "Dad! Josh! You have to stop them!"Victor's face darkened as he paced back and forth in anxiety."David, don't panic."Josh walked over and patted his trembling shoulder. "I've got people keeping a close eye on those two girls. So far, there's been no contact with the police, indicating they don't plan to testify. As long as they stay silent, we might be able to minimize the impact on your case."Tatiana's livestream yesterday gained so much attention, so the police have to at least put on a show and investigate you. Or else it'd look like they're not doing their job. Let's go see what they want first."…The Schmidts descended the stairs. The moment they saw the newcomer, they were stunned.In the living room stood Cyrus and two of his subordinates. His

"No matter how bad the coffee at the station might be, at least it won't harm my body. I wouldn't dare drink anything from your house. Who knows if they might rot my stomach or my heart? It's not worth it," Cyrus retorted to Josh's sarcasm."Cyrus, David's case has already been closed. It was you who released him! What are you doing here again?"Victor was too annoyed to bicker with him. His eyes were red from rage. "You can't arrest David without evidence. I'll never let you do that."Also, we're not some losers you Taylors can push around. I'm paying you some respect because of our long-standing relationship and because you're Winston's son. Don't try to push it."Winston's son?Their chief was the son of Belbanks' wealthiest man? Alyssa's brother?This revelation hit the two police officers like a meteorite falling to earth.Cyrus had been in the police force for many years. He was low-key and hardworking, never mentioning anything about his personal life or family background

As David was in a state of panic, his body was like mush, even with someone supporting him.Josh glared fiercely at Cyrus. Just as he was about to speak, Jameson, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected."David, you'd better go with Cyrus. You have nothing to hide. It's just to assist with the investigation anyway. Don't panic. It'll be over soon. We'll come pick you up when you're done."David stared at Jameson with rage.This bastard had caught another opportunity to kick him while he was down!Suddenly, Jameson whispered to Victor, "Dad, what Cyrus said makes sense. If David doesn't assist with the investigation now, it'll make him look guilty. Cyrus will use even harsher methods against him. It'll be difficult to handle then."Persuaded by Jameson, Victor immediately changed his tune. "Go with them, David.""Dad!" David's expression was extremely ugly.Victor waved his hand in frustration, having nothing more to say.In the end, the Schmidts could only watch he

Winston's words made everyone stop in their tracks. Suddenly, everything went quiet.Alyssa widened her eyes and parted her lips in disbelief as she stared at her father."W-What did you just say?"Jasper's chest rose and fell with tremors, and his pupils contracted as he gazed at Winston's face. His heart skipped a beat as well."If you go back now, you'll probably arrive home at dawn, right? If you don't have anything planned tomorrow morning, stay here tonight." After saying that, Winston lowered his eyes and cleared his throat.This time, Jasper heard it clearly. So did Alyssa and everyone else.This enormous surprise sent Jasper's heart pounding with excitement. His eyes welled up with tears of emotion, and his throat felt heavy with gratitude as he extended his thanks to Winston."Thank you, Mr. Taylor. Thank you for taking me in."He actually used the words "take me in". This indomitable man, the scion of Solana City's top company, was extremely humble at this moment.

Jasper started, "Hey silly, h-how did you get in here? When…"His head was still a blur. The hand that habitually held her hand was now gently caressing the area between her ribs.Alyssa covered her chest and pursed her lips in anger. "Phew! You scared me. Do you have any idea how terrifying your eyes were earlier? You looked like you were about to eat me alive.""I'm sorry, Lyse. It's a bad habit I have had since my days in the army. It's an unfixable reaction to stress."When Alyssa heard it, pity simmered in her eyes as she caressed his face.Jasper felt extremely guilty. He grabbed her hand and kissed her palm. However, he still felt unsettled. "Why did you come here secretly? If someone finds out…""Secretly? This is my house. Why should I come here secretly? I walked in here loud and proud."Alyssa narrowed her cunning eyes and touched the tip of his nose with her fingertip. "Hmm? Why do I feel like you're nervous?""This is the first time I'm here at your actual home. Ly

The Schmidt Group tried to contain the incident with the live broadcast. However, David's reputation was as good as garbage. Everyone wanted to kick him to the ground and watch the Schmidt Group burn.Plus, a lesser-known daughter of the Taylor family was the one who accused him. This added spice to the whole spectacle, increasing the popularity of the news by a mile.If the news continued to garner popularity, the police would detain David until further notice.Even Victor, setting aside his ego, went to beg the police station captain. However, at that very moment, Winston, the wealthiest tycoon, had become the latest hot topic. The news was being broadcast on the television in the office.Surprisingly, Winston was being interviewed after cutting the ribbon at an opening event of a new project.The reporter asked, "Mr. Taylor, during the live broadcast two days ago, the woman who claimed to be your daughter…""Claimed?"Winston's face darkened instantly as he retorted rudely, "

Jasper's hand that was tidying Alyssa's hair paused. He looked at the phone screen too."Alyssa, do you know this number?""No.""Are you going to answer it?" Jasper frowned slightly.Alyssa had never answered any unknown calls. She rarely received them either.This time, however, her heart was beating faintly with expectancy. It felt like if she didn't answer the call, she would miss the opportunity of gaining millions."Hello," Alyssa answered with a gentle tone."H-Hello."A timid, soft, and gentle voice of a girl came through the phone. The voice reminded her of her sister.Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other. She immediately placed the call on speakerphone and recorded it. "M-May I know who this is?""I-Is this Ms. Alyssa Taylor?" the girl asked softly."Yes, this is she.""It's me, Maggie."Both of them felt their bodies tensed, especially Alyssa. Her heart was beating like a drum. Her fingers quivered, and her palms were damp with sweat.Jasper stared deeply at

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

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
