Without Sophia's strategies, Betty could not survive, like a parasite who had left its host.Meanwhile, Sophia and Jeffrey were attacking each other in court, bringing Javier so much shame that he wanted to leave the scene.After the plaintiff and the defendant delivered their opening statements, the trial entered the most crucial round of witness examination and questioning.It was Simon's time to spring into action. Chuckling, he stretched and stood up relaxedly. "Mr. Snyder, you claimed that the defendant paid you off to get rid of Ms. Carle, but there's no evidence to back up your claim. I have a reason to suspect that you're lying and framing my client to get away from your crime.""I did not lie! I told the truth. I never had any exchange with the maid at all. Why would I kill her for no reason?" Jeffrey nervously defended himself.Sean fixed a stern gaze on Simon's animated face and silently clenched his fist. The secret recordings by Nina were in Sean's possession. She had

Sean had kept his silence during Simon's animated cross-examination, which made him appear like he was at a disadvantage.Seated in the public gallery, Tatiana felt her heart leaping into her throat. Her eyes were sore from focusing on Sean throughout the proceeding.Worried about Sean, she hated that she couldn't be of help to him. All she could do was to silently cheer him on."We'll pass the floor to the plaintiff's defense," Steven announced and gave Sean a look of affirmation.The Lynch brothers rarely interacted with each other as adults. They were not as close as other siblings, and on top of that, they were active in different professional fields. Still, Steven and Sean were at least upright, never once acting against their principles compared to the corrupted Simon.Meanwhile, Simon had always looked down on Sean and repeatedly described Steven as a strait-laced, puritanical goody-two-shoes. Simon perceived himself as the pillar of the family, staunchly believing that he,

"Of course, Your Honor." Sean regained his composure and cast a loaded look at Alyssa and Jasper's direction.The couple gave him a stern nod, after which he proceeded to land a sharp gaze on Sophia, "Sophia Kirkman, you claim that you have never committed murder. I will repeat my question to you. Are you telling the truth? This is your last chance at coming clean."Simon nearly burst out laughing at Sean's crude tactics. He glanced disdainfully at his silly brother, thinking, "Sean, you are too inexperienced to take me down. How dare you think of winning against me in court by asking that stupid question? Only a fool would admit to murder.""No! I can't even hurt a fly. I would never murder a human being," Sophia confirmed while her mind whirled. Thinking back about the past, she had always instructed others to do the dirty work for her. Given her stature, she would never dirty her hands. Therefore, she announced confidently, "Ask me as many times as you want. My answer remains t

Sophia's mind raced as she tried to come up with a strategy. In the end, she came to a conclusion. It had been 20 years since the incident, and 20 years had already passed. So what if Tessa was here to give her statement? She hadn't witnessed the entire incident with her own eyes. All the evidence was also long gone. The thought of that made Sophia feel more at ease. She straightened her back slowly. Javier stared at Tessa in surprise. For a number of years, Tessa attended closely to his beloved Anne. Despite that, he couldn't recall who she was. Alyssa's heart was pounding. The pace of her breathing had become uneven. Fortunately, she had Jasper by her side. He had his arm around her waist. He comforted her in silence. It helped her calm her racing heart. She wasn't the type of person to lose her patience. This time, however, was different. This was something related to the person she loved the most. It was a crucial fight. This deep-seated hatred had been building up

There was an uproar in the courtroom. This took the entire nation by surprise! In an instant, all the blood had drained from Javier's face. He felt as if his seat had been set ablaze. Without a care for anything else, he shot to his feet. He looked at Sophia in disbelief. Anne… Didn't she commit suicide because she had severe depression? Why had it become a homicide? How could Sophia be the murderer? She was the woman with whom he had shared the same bed for 20 years! "I… I didn't… It wasn't me!" Sophia met Javier's gaze. She shook her head while crying. Jasper diverted his cold gaze toward Javier slowly. He noticed that Javier's face was as pale as a sheet. Deep down, Jasper was full of bitterness and resentment. He couldn't help but let out a piercingly cold sneer. Javier was a frigid man. Until now, Jasper had never seen him express any heartbrokenness over Anne. But, more than that, he felt doubtful. Javier wasn't feeling disturbed because of his love for Sophia. He w

Jasper had heard Tessa's testimony many times in private. Even so, the pain in his heart was just as piercing as when he heard it for the first time. "Fentanyl is a type of analgesic. Its usage is banned in the country. Even a slight overdose could cause death." Tears of hatred welled up in Alyssa's eyes, which had already turned red. She had a mother, too. She could completely empathize with Jasper's pain. Everyone present in court was staggered. The attendees in the public gallery began to chatter among themselves. Simultaneously, the live broadcast was being streamed on the court's official website. The livestream page was also filled with a stream of comments. From the commencement of the hearing until now, the court's official website witnessed an unprecedented surge in viewership, reshares, and comments."Sophia was also involved in a homicide? Is she the wife of a plutocrat, or is she the devil?""So, Jasper isn't an illegitimate child! Sophia married into the Becket

Tessa conveyed everything that she knew. She had just let out her anguish and frustration, which she had suppressed for 20 years. After that, she slumped back into the chair. She was drenched in sweat. At this moment, she felt guilty. She regretted it from the bottom of her heart. She hated herself for being 20 years late in revealing the truth.If only she hadn't been so greedy at the time. If only she could've been brave enough to withstand Sophia's threats and testify that she had murdered Anne. If so, Anne could've rested in peace. As for herself, she wouldn't have had to be away from home and suffer for 20 years. She was really foolish back then. Sophia was just Javier's mistress at that time. Why did she have to fear such a lowly woman? If Javier and Anne reconciled, there was no way that Sophia would've become Javier's wife. She wouldn't even have remained in the Beckett family. Sophia might have been carrying Javier's child, but she would've ended up having to leave.

"It's fine if you say that. The deceased fell to her death. Even though my client was at the scene, there is no one who can prove that my client has anything to do with the victim's death." Upon saying that, Simon looked at Steven with a serious look. "Judge Lynch, the witness whom the plaintiff's attorney summoned, is in no way a direct witness in this case. "Moreover, the witness vanished for 20 years before coming out to give her statement. It has been 20 years. Wouldn't her memory already be fuzzy? Might she have colluded with someone else in secret? Her statement is unreliable!" There was pin-drop silence in the room. Furious, everyone looked toward Simon's despicable-looking side profile.Sophia hung her head low. She was trying her best to control her facial expressions, so much so that the muscles on her face were beginning to spasm. She was terrified. She was worried that she'd suddenly lose control and burst out laughing.She thought to herself, "Anne, you bitch! Yo

"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

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
