"Ahem … There is something I could use your help with." Alyssa cleared her throat."Leave it to us!""Don't hold back!""Well … remember that antique rosewood chair from the auction that Winston had you bid for, Mandy?" Alyssa asked. "I'd like to have it."Mandy and Colene shared a look. "You really aren't holding back."Winston was someone who wouldn't bat an eye when it came to buying property and cars or giving away his money. But when it came to antiques, he'd hoard them like some kind of wizened dragon. Asking him to part with his rosewood chair would likely be a futile endeavor.Mandy blinked rapidly, seemingly lost in thought. "I'll find a way to convince him to give it up. But why do you want it?""If he knew why, he'd never give it to me.""I got you! Don't worry!" Colene grinned, smacking her chest in affirmation. "If he doesn't want to hand it over, I'll steal it for you!"Alyssa burst into giggles.If it really came to that, Winston would surely have to keep an

"Are you sure?" Jasper asked solemnly."Well, sir, I phoned Ada's manager myself. She was the one who said Ms. Taylor had contacted them first. The manager actually intends for us to compete for the opportunity …" Xavier's voice grew smaller as he continued, noticing how Jasper's face was growing more menacing by the second."What else did they say?""The manager also said … that they know Berenike Hotel has always been famous and well-known, but KS World Hotel's been in the limelight lately, so … they want us to prove to them why they should pick us for the wedding. Our plans need to win them over before Ada even considers working with us."Jasper slammed the table, feeling unbearably irritated.Alice White was already annoying enough to deal with. And now Alyssa Taylor was here trying to compete for their project? Were these women specifically sent to torment him?"Arrange a meeting with all department heads and directors tomorrow. We need to come up with a high-end wedding pro

Liana had begged Sophia for those two invitation cards. Her resentment at having to stoop so low had now dissipated."Why didn't you tell me we were coming to an event like this? You know I don't like these things," Jasper grumbled quietly, his jaw tight."I wouldn't have been able to ask Ms. Emerson to make my wedding dress for me, given my social status. That's why I wanted you to come. She's sure to agree to my request if you ask her."Jasper's face had darkened. Liana hurriedly added, "I'm really sorry I didn't tell you beforehand.""Just tell me next time. I could have sent someone to come in my stead," Jasper sighed, though his tone had softened considerably now."I promise I will next time."Just then, a set of familiar footsteps rang out from behind them. It was a precise and confident stride. Jasper instantly recognized who it was. He turned around.Alyssa approached them. She was dressed in an azure sundress and matching coat. She stood out against the backdrop of pi

Madam?The guests were shocked to hear Rose call Alyssa that, especially Liana, whose jaw had fallen open.What was their connection? Why was Rose referring to her with such respect?Wasn't Alyssa only 24 years old? Rose was only four years older than her, and she had already been in the fashion industry for at least a decade. She'd had countless achievements, like being in the spotlight of International Fashion Week and receiving accolades.So, who was Alyssa to her then?"Who are you calling old? Have you ever seen a 24-year-old senior citizen?" Alyssa scowled, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Women never age.""That's because I respect you too much, Madam!" Rose leaned against Alyssa, her hand around her waist in an affectionate manner. "You should have told me before you came over. I haven't even cleaned up properly yet!""I didn't plan to, originally. But one of my meetings was canceled all of a sudden, so I had time to come visit.""Ah … so this was just a conven

Upon hearing that, Alyssa was baffled. She tried to give Rose a warning look, but the latter wouldn't so much as glance at her. In fact, her eyes were nearly burning a hole into Jasper's pecs.Alyssa couldn't help but inwardly cursed at the situation. "Thank you." Jasper nodded gratefully. But before he could say much else, Rose continued, "You can stay. But she leaves." She pointed at Liana.Liana was shocked. Her face was flushed. She felt thoroughly humiliated. "Why me? I'm his fiancée!" she cried.The guests flinched at the distasteful noise, finding her increasingly uncultured."Tsk tsk." Rose shook her head. "I wouldn't have been able to tell, honestly.""You—" Liana was so angry that she nearly stomped her foot.Rose took another sly look at Jasper, this time smirking. "Mr. Beckett can stay because he's an attractive man. And because he's dressed well for the occasion."She then eyed Liana's outfit. "You, on the other hand, are a mess. Your colors are a terrible intrusi

After greeting the guests, Rose brought Alyssa to her studio. The mentor and mentee were as close as sisters. They chatted and laughed merrily in private.There, Rose served Alyssa excellent tea and desserts from the top pastry chefs in the nation. Not even the guests on the first floor had the honor of tasting the delicacies."Madam, have some tea!""Oh, the valuable spring tea! It's bright green with a rich aroma and a deep flavor profile. This is good." Smiling, Alyssa savored the tea. She wrapped her slender fingers around the cup as she sipped. Her graceful demeanor denoted her excellent upbringing in a wealthy family. Her noble air was the culmination of a distinguished pedigree that could not be copied."I feel honored when you enjoy the tea." Rose grinned. She always wore a cool and chic image in public. Yet, she'd turn into a silly and good-natured young lady in front of Alyssa.Their first encounter happened six years back. Rose was talented in fashion design and bless

When Rose reemerged, Liana hurriedly tugged on Jasper's sleeve. "Jasper, let's stop her and have a chat. She will definitely agree to design my wedding dress if you talk to her because you're the president of the Beckett Group!"He frowned but was dragged along to meet with Rose."Ms. Emerson, we are here to request your help in designing my wedding dress. Jasper and I will be married next month in a grand wedding that will be streamed nationwide."Liana leaned gently on Jasper, a delighted look on her face. "Your dress on me will attract national attention! That's pretty good marketing, don't you think? "Money is not a problem as long as you agree to design the dress. Tell us anything you need, and we'll take care of it. We are serious about this.""Wow, Ms. Gardner, you do sound like a future daughter-in-law of a wealthy family." Beaming, Rose lifted a finger. "One million, and I'll consider taking the job.""What? That's too expensive!" Liana gaped at Rose."And I thought mo

Alyssa and her dance partner held hands and bowed to the audience when the dance ended. Her captivating dance elevated the cocktail party into a high-end ball.Liana was green with envy when she heard everyone praising Alice. In her teens, she was once a talented pianist who was good at singing and dancing too. For that, she had won many awards.However, after going abroad, she busied herself with dating and having fun to the point where she abandoned her practice."Jasper, wasn't Ms. White awesome? But I don't think it's appropriate for her to dance in public in that revealing dress. I would have been too ashamed to do that …"Her attempts at backstabbing Alyssa were of no use because Jasper was nowhere to be found when she turned around.…Jasper shuffled to the backstage corridor. Despite his best efforts at self-control, he could not shut down the imagery of Alice's allure in his mind. His throat was getting dry.He forced himself not to think of his behavior as falling fo

Julien's questions sent the hall into an uproar. In an instant, the number of viewers on the live stream shot up to 50 million, and the comment section exploded."Dr. Lovelace has presented Mr. Jasper's examination reports. He never did drugs—he was framed! This is undeniable!""He risked his life to save Ms. Alyssa, yet ended up being manipulated, dismissed, and investigated like a criminal. He almost carried a lifelong stain on his name. What a despicable move by whoever did this!"Then, a comment appeared, saying, "Wasn't it Justin Beckett, the current president of Beckett Group, who orchestrated all of this? He set up his own younger brother just to seize power. What a vile man!"Yet, less than two seconds later, the comment vanished.But no matter how many trolls swarmed in or how quickly posts were deleted, the public's outrage could not be silenced. Suspicion against Justin surged, and tens of thousands of negative comments flooded the chat.Julien stood below the stage,

The once lively and fashion-loving Julien now seemed like a star that had lost its light. The radiance that once defined him had vanished. Julien walked past Jonah without stopping. The short distance between them gave Jonah a painfully clear view of the cross-shaped scar on Julien's cheek. His heart wrenched, the pain so intense that his vision blurred. He staggered. "Jonah, are you alright?" Fortunately, Landon was beside him and caught him just in time. Staring at Julien's slim figure, Jonah parted his dry lips, but no words came out.Bitterness filled the back of his throat, and his longing for Julien sent sharp, stabbing pains through his body.Julien stopped beside Jasper, offering him a small smile and a nod as a greeting.Then, his gaze turned fierce as he locked eyes with Justin's hypocritical expression."My name is Julien Lovelace. I was once Mr. Jasper's primary physician. Approximately six months ago, Mr. Jasper made a deal with Jameson to rescue Ms. Alyssa w

Alyssa stood at the doorway, her slim figure framed against the light, yet she seemed to tower over the room. Her presence commanded attention, filling the hall with an air of reverence and grandeur. From across the room, Jasper's dark eyes burned with intensity. To him, Alyssa was like a golden phoenix, its wings unfurling as it soared, radiating brilliance over everything in its wake. "Lyse!"Jonah and Landon stared in shock. They hadn't expected Alyssa to show up at the press conference. Camera flashes erupted once more."It's Ms. Alyssa Taylor!""We should address her properly now—she's the head of KS Group!" "Wait… Is she here to support Jasper? I thought they broke up?""What do you even know? They used to be in love!" Justin narrowed his eyes at Alyssa's frigid, determined expression. Slowly, his lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.Alyssa met his gaze, suppressing the hatred surging within her. Then, with an air of composure, she turned to the crowd. "W

"That's rubbish. I never asked you to do anything like that!" Sheryl's bloodshot eyes burned with fury. She clenched her fists, longing to silence Sebastian."I didn't expect you to admit it," Sebastian said coldly. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his phone. After scrolling briefly, he held it up for all to see. "You were wary of me recording our conversations, but you never suspected I'd install a hidden camera in my office. This footage clearly shows you bribing and threatening me. With this evidence, denial is futile!"The crowd turned to Sheryl, their gazes heavy with shock and suspicion. When their eyes shifted to Justin, doubt lingered in the air.Sheryl's heart sank, her face draining of color.As cautious as she was, she had miscalculated. But it didn't matter. She had carried out the task herself, avoiding any direct mention of Justin's orders. Justin could still be saved.It was Sheryl who had fallen short in her responsibilities, and she was ready to tak

Jasper's eyes blazed with fury as he locked his gaze on Justin, a sharp, determined gleam in his dark eyes. "I will clear my name and restore my reputation, no matter the cost!" he declared, his voice ringing with resolve.The tension between Justin, standing on stage, and Jasper, positioned below, was palpable—like a killer whale facing off with a great white shark. The outcome was still uncertain."I, Landon Harper, swear on my name and the entirety of Harper Group that Jasper never did drugs. The whole situation was a setup!" Landon's voice resounded throughout the entire hall. The reporters buzzed with questions. "Who would do such a thing?"Landon refrained from directly naming Justin, aware that exposing the wolf in sheep's clothing would not be easy. Accusing him too hastily might provide Justin with an opportunity to counterattack, exploiting any gaps in their case.Landon had no fear of tarnishing his own reputation, but he was deeply concerned about the damage it m

Everyone turned to look behind them.Justin's icy gaze locked onto the doors, his expression dark and foreboding. The light pouring in from outside was blinding, piercing through the shadows like a blade. As the crowd squinted against the glare, two figures emerged, standing tall and resolute side by side.It was Jasper and Landon. Clad in a sleek black suit, Landon bore traces of dust but appeared otherwise unscathed. Jasper, however, was a stark contrast. His clothes were torn and bloodied, his appearance disheveled, but his demeanor was anything but defeated. Standing straight and proud, his frigid stare was enough to make the crowd shrink back, unwilling to meet his eyes."Mr. Justin," Landon began, his voice sharp and cutting, "you've gone to great lengths to keep Jasper from this press conference."Ever the rebel with the air of a street-hardened fighter, Landon didn't mince words. "To stop him, you sent assassins to ambush him. You had your people block his way in the

Meanwhile, the light above one of Taylor General Hospital's emergency surgery theaters flickered off. Moments later, the door swung open, and a doctor emerged, pulling down his surgical mask. Mandy hurried toward the doctor, her eyes brimming with worry. "How is that poor man doing?" "Mrs. Taylor, it's fortunate you brought him in when you did. Ten minutes later, and we might not have been able to save him. He went into shock from excessive blood loss, but he's stable now. I gave him a transfusion and sutured his wounds. He'll need rest and proper nutrition to recover fully."Relief washed over Mandy, and her tense body slackened. Her knees nearly buckled as she murmured, "Thank God… Thank God!" Once the doctor departed, Mandy instructed her driver to purchase the best blood-replenishing supplements available, sparing no expense.The driver had only been employed by the Taylor family for the past two years, so he was unaware of the true reasons behind Mandy's actions.

Soon enough, Jasper and Jonah found themselves surrounded by a horde of fighters. The atmosphere was charged with a vicious, merciless tension that heightened their awareness. They were now in the underground parking lot of Berenike Hotel.This was one of the Beckett family's properties, with Newton overseeing the construction personally.Berenike Hotel had always been the leader among all the five-star hotels in Solana City. Yet, on this day, when a critical press conference was about to begin, Justin chose to start a massacre in the hotel's parking lot, disregarding the potential damage to the hotel's reputation. His actions were utterly insane and perverse. "Shall we each take down ten of them?" Jonah nudged Jasper with his elbow. Narrowing his eyes, he added, "The press conference starts in ten minutes. Think you can wrap this up by then?"A cold, fierce glint flashed in Jasper's usually dull eyes. "I'll take down 15 and leave five for you." "Why only five for me?"Jasp

The golden iris stood as a symbol of triumph."Ms. Alyssa, we're on track. We'll make it to the press conference on time!" Sean declared, stepping on the accelerator with a fiery look in his eyes. "Safety first," Alyssa reminded him in a calm, steady voice. Surprisingly, at this crucial juncture, she appeared composed. "Taty is due soon, and you're about to become a father. As a family man, you shouldn't be as reckless as before." The thought of his unborn son brought a blissful smile to Sean's face, softening his fiery resolve.Alyssa closed her eyes, though her mind remained in overdrive. The truth was, she was forcing herself to stay alert. Ever since Amber's disappearance, she hadn't had a single restful night. The once carefree Alyssa, who could sleep through anything, was long gone. Her frayed nerves left her in a weakened state, but she held on.She had survived when others hadn't, and that resilience fueled her belief that she could endure again. This time, she wou
