"Of course I'm okay with it. I'm fine with anything as long as I'm with you, and if it's for Grandpa," Jasper said with a smile."I feel sorry…" Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his shoulders. She said in a muffled voice, "Ben told me that Grandpa hasn't been feeling well for a while, but I couldn't tell until now. "He even got up from his wheelchair at the cemetery. Whenever I think of that, I feel horrible. How could I have carelessly missed it?""It's not your fault, Lyse. You've done well," Jasper comforted her. "Let's pay more attention to him in the future. I bet he doesn't want to stress you out. He might refuse to see you if he learns that you know about his condition," said Jasper.Then, he thought, "Did Landon and I have the honor to date the two kindest souls in the world? We're two lucky guys!"…The mood in Crescent Bay villa was gay due to Jasper and Alyssa's presence. Alyssa performed a checkup on Newton, after which she prepared so

It was good news, but the air grew heavy. After a pause, Alyssa revealed calmly, "Cyrus told me that Sophia went berserk before the death sentence. She peed herself and couldn't walk straight. They had to drag her to the execution chamber. It was such a cathartic scene."Jasper finally croaked, "Was it by lethal injection or firing?""Lethal injection." She looked deep into his eyes. The corner of her lips lifted. "Firing would have been too merciful for her. She struggled in pain for ten minutes until her heart stopped."She was strapped to a chair by the time of her death, limbs stiff and face contorted. The short ten minutes of torture might not be enough to make up for what she did to Anne, but at least justice was served."Jasper lowered his gaze. The news stirred complicated emotions in him. Sophia Kirkman was dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.He should have applauded in glee, but he did not feel as excited as he thought he would be since the case had dragged out for too

Suddenly, Alyssa felt Jasper's hand on the small of her back. He pressed her against his warm chest."Mmm…" Her body went limp, and her breath caught. Jasper sealed her lips with a look of desire and guilt. He kissed her deeply, passionately, and freely in front of Newton.Newton and Ben looked delighted at the scene as their hearts raced. Given Jasper's nature, he consistently exhibited reserved, undiplomatic, and challenging traits. When Jasper was a teen, Newton had seriously considered bringing him in for a psychiatric evaluation multiple times, but he worried he might injure the poor kid's ego.Now, Jasper was a changed man all because of Alyssa."Don't! Grandpa is here." Alyssa shoved Jasper away awkwardly with a blush on her cheeks."Grandpa is family." Jasper put a hand on her waist. He blurted out, "Besides, why can't I kiss my lover in public?"She shyly pressed her moist lips together at his flirting.In the past, all he could do was carefully trod around. Every t

As Newton's grandson, Jasper did not take after him much. All he took after was Javier's cold-heartedness. Jasper thought he was getting better, but he finally realized that he could never measure up to the depth of Newton's affection for Doris."I will never hurt you again," he said in a trembling voice after a frustrating silence.Alyssa placed a finger on his lips and chuckled. "Yeah. You won't."…After the couple enjoyed a hearty dinner with Newton, Ben sent someone to get the fireworks.Seated in the wheelchair, Newton smiled as the couple lit the fireworks. Jasper and Alyssa waved the sparklers around like two happy kids on Christmas Day."Look at the wide smile on Mr. Jasper's face," remarked Ben, who thoughtfully draped a blanket on Newton's lap. "I still remember the time he first started living with you. "His height was around your waist level. He was dressed in oversized clothes, looking tanned, underweight, and tiny. Now, he's a man with his own responsibilities."

Frowning deeply, Newton began, "Justin…"A troubled expression clouded Justin's face, and he offered a bitter smile. "Sorry, Grandpa. I'm pretty useless. I can't be of help to you and Dad. Not only do I fail to take charge of the company, I'm perpetually sick."I've been pondering something repeatedly. Life might have been better if I hadn't experienced that kidnapping. If I were more selfish and escaped on my own, would things be different now?"Newton grappled with complex emotions but spoke warmly to Justin, "Justin, please don't entertain such thoughts. I know you've endured a lot. It was an unfortunate incident. I genuinely feel bad for you because you're my grandson. I love you and Jasper deeply.""Who do you love more, me or him?" Justin threw a tricky question at Newton.Seeing Newton momentarily stunned, Justin smiled. "You don't have to answer. I understand. It's fine. I won't be upset. As Jasper's elder brother and the eldest of the Beckett Group, I'm willing to sacrifi

"Justin, are you a fan of mine?" Alyssa blinked rapidly. The notion struck Alyssa as interesting. More peculiarly, Justin claimed he had met her way earlier, which made her feel doubtful.Although her identity as Alexa got exposed, it was a well-kept secret years ago. From Justin's words, he seemed to have known she was Alexa long before she was exposed."I have heard great things about you. You feel familiar and real—like someone who's by my side. I don't see you as a stranger," remarked Justin earnestly. "Haha! My granddaughter-in-law is pretty famous!" Joking, Newton took Alyssa and Jasper's hands. Then, he put their hands on top of each other in front of Justin. "Jasper, you need to worship Alice. Just look at how famous and brilliant she is. She's a lucky charm of the family!"Alyssa pressed her lips together as she blushed. Jasper interlocked his fingers with hers and declared, "Grandpa, don't you worry about that. To her, I'm just her man. But to me, she is my entire worl

"However, just take a look at the situation now. Does Mr. Beckett Senior still care for you? He has been keeping his guard up with you. He's afraid of you. "Their little family has been enjoying each other's company in Solana City. They've never shown concern over how you've survived through all those nights that were full of pain and suffering! "It was Jasper who snatched away all that belonged to you. Everything that he now has… Those were supposed to be yours!" Sheryl exclaimed. Justin picked up another pill and put it in his mouth. He started chewing it. He closed his eyes and mumbled, "Grandpa, you said that he was just a child back then. But you seem to have forgotten that I was also a child at that time." …Initially, Jasper and Alyssa wanted to stay back. They wanted to accompany Newton. Nonetheless, Newton was adamantly against it. He insisted that they go back home. "Are you two out of your minds? Go on and enjoy each other's company. Why do you always want to hang

When Jasper and Alyssa got home, Jasper received a call from Xavier. Then, he went to the study to get some work done. "Mr. Beckett, the foundation's matters are pretty much all set. You'll just need to pick a date for the official announcement." "Alright. Thanks." Jasper's voice sounded low and a little weary. "Also, weren't you planning to bring Madam to Swizo for a holiday? I've made preparations for a manor there. It's right at the foot of the Alton Mountains. The scenery there is fantastic. You and Madam can head over there any time," Xavier said in a jolly tone. He had been feeling elated since they defeated Sophia. Every day, he was so happy that he'd be smiling in his sleep. However, Jasper still didn't respond after a while. He wasn't paying attention. He was still thinking about his conversation with Justin earlier that night. He was also bothered by how Justin had looked at Alyssa. Jasper felt his chest tighten. The look in his eyes was deep. "Mr. Beckett? Mr.

When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based. Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness. A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray."Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest—you won't find her no matter ho

Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent. "Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly."Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much. As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore."I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!" With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone. "Ambs…"Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device. Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on. "What's the password?" Jasper asked g

"Five times more potent than the previous version? Are you sure it's safe for Remy to consume this?" Sheryl picked up the pill, unease flickering across her face. As much as she despised Remy, she couldn't deny his prowess as a fighter and his value as Justin's right-hand man. Having him around would certainly ease Justin's workload, prompting her to double-check."It won't kill him, but it won't be pleasant either. Don't worry—it's temporary," Justin replied, a sinister smile curling his lips. He continued nonchalantly, "When he takes the pill, his adrenaline will spike, flooding him with energy while his muscles tense. He'll feel both pain and euphoria. Then, it will fade, leaving him dependent on the drug moving forward." The implication was clear to Sheryl. Justin intended to control Remy through addiction. "Remy wasn't born for the shadows," Justin continued, his gaze darkened. "He's just a victim of post-traumatic amnesia, his nervous system subdued with sedatives and anes

"Got it, Mr. Harper!" Harper Group's subordinates acknowledged before swiftly dispersing. "I'm going to search for Amber too," Alyssa said, turning to leave.Jasper caught her arm. "It's freezing. Go wait in the car." Landon chimed in, "Lyse, listen to Jasper. Just wait in the car. We'll search for Amber.""No—I have to come too!" Alyssa sniffled. The sharp wind stung her face, leaving her nose raw and crimson, her eyes watering until they puffed into tender, swollen crescents. "Amber's in trouble because of me. I was careless—it's all my fault!""Lyse…" Landon's heart sank at her remorseful expression.Jasper's gaze softened as he studied Alyssa's pale face. "Her disappearance isn't your fault."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes as she shook her head. "Amber means everything to Axel. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to face him. I don't deserve to be his sister. Please, let me come with you."Jasper and Landon failed to dissuade her. Reluctantly, they agreed. Alyssa

After studying Sheryl for a moment, Remy turned and left."M-Ms. Gillis, are you okay?" One of Sheryl's subordinates came forward to help her up."Useless bastard! Why didn't you step in when he hit me earlier?" Sheryl's voice trembled with fury as her gaze fell on the crimson stains marring the pristine snow.Stammering, the subordinate replied, "R-Remy acted too quickly. Everyone in the organization knows how good of a fighter he is. None of us stood a chance against him!""S-Something wasn't right about him tonight." Sheryl watched Remy's retreating figure disappear into the distance, her voice dropping to a menacing murmur. "I need to report this to Mr. Justin in person immediately."Inside his car, Remy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands but made no move to drive.Closing his eyes, he felt a suffocating sensation rise in his throat, as though he were drowning in an endless, hopeless sea. He was just a speck, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.A shar

With a piercing gaze, Sheryl glared at Remy, who stood in front of her car with an air of frigidity around him. The temptation to ram her car into the crestfallen man was almost irresistible, but she didn't dare. Remy was Justin's right-hand man, and even her audacity had limits. Instead, Sheryl pulled her white coat snugly around her, stepped out of the car with feigned composure, and strode toward him. Hostility crackled between them as their eyes locked.Sheryl broke the silence. "Remy, is there nothing you'd like to update me about?" she asked with a sinister look in her eyes. Stiffly, Remy asked, "Where did you take that woman?" "How shameless of you to question me. Mr. Justin was wise to send me as backup. Otherwise, Amber would have escaped without a trace!"Gritting her teeth, Sheryl took a step closer to Remy. "Is this how you handle tasks entrusted by Mr. Justin? The unstoppable Remy, brought to his knees by a wild brat? Or did you let her go intentionally? Are yo

"Jameson and Carl have been eliminated. Who else could be targeting Amber?"A sharp glint flashed in Jasper's eyes as a thought struck him. "Could it be Justin or Sheryl?" he asked, his voice low and tense.He recalled seeing Justin in the living room earlier that evening, wide awake instead of resting. Was Justin waiting for something? Or perhaps, provoking him in subtle defiance?"They are the only ones I can think of with a grudge against Amber." Alyssa's anxiousness made her voice tremble. "Having worked for Jameson for years, Amber must have visited Mosgravia multiple times to meet with Sir—who is, in fact, Justin. "Justin wouldn't have met anyone else besides Jameson. But how could he leave no trace after all those interactions? Amber must have figured out his true identity. And Justin—he must have realized who she is, even with her changed appearance."Jasper's expression darkened. "So he decided to eliminate her as a precaution."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes, threaten

Searching for Amber without direction would be pointless. Jasper made a swift decision to bring Alyssa back to the manor, shielding her from the relentless chill of the wind. Once inside, he immediately began organizing the search. He deployed his men and contacted Landon, requesting additional support.The two of them sat together on the couch.This time, there was no space between them. It was as though an invisible force drew them closer, their proximity feeling natural yet electric. Neither could say who had moved first.Alyssa, however, was in no mood to dwell on their closeness. Wrapped in her down jacket, she curled up on the couch, her arms hugging herself tightly. A quiet frostiness emanated from her as she sat in silence, listening to Jasper's calm and methodical calls to mobilize his team.In the past, his composed presence would have been enough to ease her mind. But now, her thoughts were a tangled mess, each one like a razor claw tearing at her heart. The pain was u

"Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her." Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?" "There wasn't one." Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze."You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face."Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!" Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away. Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face. She was teetering on the edge of madness."Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"…Jasper drove to
