Alyssa watched as the glum look on Jasper's face set in like the moon setting into the vast sea.Jasper's shoulders trembled slightly underneath his suit. His eyes were bloodshot. He turned into a volcano as an overwhelming wave of emotions erupted in him. Alyssa squeezed his hand, trying to hint for him to maintain his composure.She wasn't a goody-two-shoes who would buy into the "a harmonious family would prosper" gimmick. She wanted to help Jasper by giving Javier a piece of her mind.However, fighting in front of Jasper's mother's tombstone didn't seem too respectful of her. Jasper's mother would be rolling in her grave in anger if she saw it."I didn't expect you to visit your mother today. You should have told me earlier, and we could have come together."Javier carried the authority of a father, but his tone remained gentle. "I think your mother would have loved it.""My mother would have loved it?" Jasper stared at him coldly. Hatred pierced through his voice. "You've

It was as if something was stuck in Javier's throat as he pointed at his son's face. His high and mighty demeanor was slowly compromised. "Jasper, you ungrateful bastard!"If I was putting on a show, I wouldn't have gone against the majority and suffered the pressure to bring you and your mother back to the Beckett Group from the slums."If it weren't for me, both of you wouldn't have died on the smelly and nasty streets. Have you forgotten how sick your mother was? She didn't have a single dime on her to go to the hospital for treatment. "She had no way to support you. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have recovered from her sickness. How on Earth would you have lived the cushy life you have now?"Alyssa watched as Jasper, feeling wronged, received a baseless accusation. As a bystander, her heart burned with fire. She felt her blood boiling in her as her fists clenched.Until now, Javier wasn't speaking to Jasper as a husband or a father. He was still on his high horse, thinki

"If you try to lay your hand on Jasper, I'll be the first to stop you. You might not care for him, but I do. Even if I'm not around…" Alyssa's sad eyes looked at Jasper's mother's tombstone. "Don't you think Auntie Anne would care? As the noble, high, and mighty chairman of the Beckett Group, don't you think it's distasteful to get physical in front of the deceased?"Alyssa had just uttered the deadliest and harshest words in the most nonchalant tone.The look in Javier's eyes sank. He clenched his jaw so tightly that it was about to break open."Mr. Javier, I think it's not a great day for you to pay your respects to Auntie Anne today. We appreciate the gesture. I'm sure Auntie Anne feels the same way. I think it's best if you leave." Rory and the bodyguards sighed in relief as Alyssa loosened her grip.Javier's face was as pale as a ghost. Yet, he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give up. "I've canceled everything today to come and see her."I'll leave after I see her for

Amidst the chaos, a profound sense of worry and fear emerged, intensifying the turmoil reflected in Javier's twitching eye."I-I don't know what Mr. Jasper meant." Rory's forehead glistened with beads of sweat. Trapped between the devil and the deep sea, he felt the looming threat of trouble for anything he might utter."D-Didn't you say that someone might have been behind Anne's death? Jasper said Sophia was behind it. Does he even have proof? Does he?""I-I think you should clarify with Mr. Jasper. I don't know anything about it…"Javier released his tightly clenched hand, feeling a sudden weight on his shoulders. Slouching, he struggled to catch his breath, his earlier confidence replaced by uncertainty.He had accepted and tolerated so much. Sophia had crossed a line. He was utterly disgusted by Sophia. Yet, to protect the Beckett Group and his reputation as president, he repeatedly swallowed his pride and looked the other way.However, he was unable to accept one thing—Sop

A thick yet warm smoke enveloped them, and the stark contrast between the lively scene behind the door and the desolation outside took Jasper aback. His reaction was visceral.As he stared at the bustling living hall, his heart raced. Seated on the couch were Tatiana and Julien, and alongside them was Rose, who had been studying overseas and hadn't crossed paths with Jasper for several years. They were joyfully chatting while skewering vegetables. The kitchen buzzed with activity as Jonah, wearing an apron, showcased his culinary skills, with Cyrus assisting in preparing barbecue sauce.Silas and Sean were focused on putting meat on the skewers, their attention fixed on Tatiana and Rose. Sean's concern for his girlfriend was evident, while Silas watched in helplessness as Rose engaged in an animated conversation with Julien.Silas sighed sadly, unsure of the unease he felt witnessing their interaction."Dr. Lovelace, you're nailing those skewers! Your hands are so skilled!" Tat

"Wow!"All eyes turned to Maggie, who timidly hid behind Alyssa. They were in awe.Indeed, the way one dressed had a significant impact on how others perceived them.Upon her initial arrival, Maggie wore modest attire, appearing charming. However, her passive demeanor and hunched posture exposed a palpable insecurity that was difficult for onlookers to handle.Maggie underwent a complete transformation thanks to Alyssa's efforts. A single glance and a stranger would easily assume she was born into wealth."Wow! You're so beautiful!"Tatiana clapped with a radiant smile on her face. "Maggie was already beautiful. Now, she's practically sparkling in that dress! She looks absolutely lovely!""That dress is quite impressive!" Julien, who typically carried himself with confidence, couldn't resist offering praise."Hmph! I crafted that myself! It's a one-of-a-kind creation. I dare anyone to call it ugly." Rose lifted her chin with pride, crossing her legs. She gazed at Maggie as if h

"I-I'm sorry…" Maggie's face was as red as a tomato."Ms. Madison," Xavier's breath sank as he spoke softly, just enough for her to hear, "you look beautiful today."Maggie's face burned with embarrassment. Panicking, she hastily withdrew herself from his arms.Jasper struggled to contain the overwhelming emotions within him. He hugged Alyssa tightly and whispered, "Thank you for doing this, Lyse."Alyssa leaned into Jasper's arms with a smile, reveling in her luck to have found Jasper as her other half. "It's no big deal. I just asked everyone to come over for a meal. "Oh, yeah. Lauren caught a chill from leaving the window open while she slept the past two days. Landon is home caring for her. They won't be coming. He asked me to tell you to enjoy your meal and eat their share.""Okay." Jasper looked down at her face, his heart beating wildly as his eyes turned misty."Thank you, Madam Alyssa."Xavier was incredibly excited to see Maggie. He was so touched that he found himse

After a while, Alyssa realized Jasper had disappeared. Leaving the party on her own, she ran into Mrs. Rosie in the corridor. "Mrs. Rosie, have you seen Jasper?""Mr. Jasper went back to his room. I knocked on his door for a long time, but he wouldn't open it," Rosie replied, shaking her head. "With everyone here tonight, enjoying such a lively occasion, I don't understand why he's isolating himself like a depressed teenager. It's so lame of him to call it a night this early."Alyssa frowned, her smile wry. She felt concerned, aware of how downcast Jasper could be on his mother's death anniversary. Moreover, the confrontation with Javier at the cemetery likely brought back painful memories. Returning to such a lively home must have stirred up his emotions."Mrs. Rosie, could you please entertain our guests on the balcony? I'll go check on Jasper."Alyssa stood before the room's door, taking a brief pause before gently knocking. "Jasper? Are you there?"There was no response. "Do

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
