"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

The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

"Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

"Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
