Landon struggled to catch his breath, feeling overwhelmed.During the party previously, he wanted to protect his best friends. Thus, he chose to go against Javier. He did so with his friendship with Jasper and Alyssa in mind. However, this was an expensive price to pay. He might never be able to marry the woman he loved. He was able to go against the entire Harper Group. He was even able to put everything at stake. But how would Lauren be able to do that? She was a meek woman. She was so timid.Even if Lauren was willing, Landon couldn't bear to have her do so. She would be carrying a magnanimous burden on her shoulders. How could he bear to see her betray her family? "Come home, Lauren. You are my most obedient daughter. Listen to me. Come home." Javier's gaze softened when he looked at Lauren. He opened his arms. "You are young and clueless about love. Plus, you're terrible at gauging people's intentions. You can't even tell if you've been deceived."But that's okay. I d

The brutality of Newton's words certainly shouldn't be underestimated. He dealt Javier a mighty blow. As Javier's father, Newton was the only one who could give him a dressing-down. Betty hid behind Javier. She was as timid as a mouse. She didn't even dare to show her face. Alyssa hurried over to Lauren. She was still in Landon's arms. She said to her softly, "Don't be afraid, Lauren. I'm here. Jasper and Grandpa are here too." Lauren looked up. Her eyes were already swollen from all the crying. Landon's shirt was also drenched in her tears. "Alyssa…"Alyssa teared up at the way Lauren called her name. Her heart ached for her. Lauren choked back on her tears. She clung to Landon's shirt tightly. "I do not want to be separated from Landon." At that moment, Landon's heart wrenched. He enveloped her tightly, as if he intended to engulf her with his embrace."We're not going to be separated, Lauren. I will not leave you no matter what happens." Alyssa didn't know what to sa

Alyssa remarked, "Yup." "Wow! How are you so talented, Alyssa? You're so unlike Jasper. Earning money is the only thing he knows how to do!" Newton said as he gave Alyssa a playful pinch on the nose. Jasper turned green with envy. He was fine with Newton dissing him. But why was he being touchy with Alyssa? The trio crowded around the laptop. They focused on watching all that was happening through the screen. Alyssa saw that Landon and Lauren were being bullied. She became enraged. She rolled her fingers into balls of fury. "Grandpa, shall we go over now?" Jasper asked. His breathing was heavy. Newton's face was glum. "Hold on a little while more," he urged. Jasper and Alyssa were stunned. "Landon is the one who wants to marry my granddaughter. Since this is so, this will be a challenging test for him. There is no doubt about that." Newton loved Lauren. Nonetheless, he was still able to maintain his rationality. "This is just the first step that they are taking. Yet,

"Finally," Jasper whispered.Alyssa smiled. "Yes, finally." "Landon, Jasper told me you've already informed Mr. Cornelius of your intention to marry Lauren. Is that right?" Newton questioned with a serious look on his face. Landon answered immediately, "I didn't just inform my grandfather. I've announced it to my entire family. Grandpa has agreed. My mother didn't oppose either." Alyssa and Jasper shot a look at each other. They understood what they were each thinking about. They knew that Landon was sharing only the good news. The process of convincing Cornelius must have been a difficult one. At the same time, he wouldn't have cared about whether Penelope approved of them. She wasn't the one who had the final say in their family. "Ah… That's good, then." Newton nodded. He was pleased. He chuckled in relief, "Please arrange a time for me to meet with Mr. Cornelius soon. We should meet since both families have now approved of this marriage. "If it's okay with you, I wi

"Grandpa, what did you mean by that? I am Lauren's sister. Why would I cause harm to my own sister?" Betty was frantic as she tried to explain herself. Cold sweat began to form on her back. Landon was a straightforward person. He gave Lauren a gentle squeeze and clicked his tongue. Newton pulled a face. "I have not gone senile. It is clear to me whether things are as you claim them to be. You should be well aware, too. "Lauren is going to be wed into the Harper family soon. You shouldn't waste your efforts. Instead, you should stop being so arrogant. Let your father find someone decent for you to marry. He can then have a son-in-law whom he is satisfied with, too." Betty was enraged. Wasn't Newton hinting at and mocking her for not being able to get married? In the end, she couldn't restrain herself any longer. She responded with defiance, "I don't need you to trouble yourself with my matters. I don't mind if I never marry. I am still my father's daughter. I am still part o

Betty covered the receiver with her hand. Even though she was furious, she still tried to act sneakily. "Just a little while ago, Landon came to my house to propose marriage. Initially, my father wasn't in agreement. Then, Alyssa and Jasper showed up with Grandpa! "With a few words, Grandpa gave my father an earful. He even sealed the deal on Lauren's marriage with Landon! They are going to be engaged soon! Surely Landon will knock that idiot up right after. "What use would there be for you to come back after that? Are you going to celebrate becoming an aunt?" There was silence on the other end of the call. "Hey! Say something…""Don't you worry. I'm not the only one among the Harpers who does not wish to see Lauren marrying Landon. A marriage alliance between wealthy families may seem like a strong alliance, but in reality, it is full of weaknesses. A small misstep is enough to make everything fall through. "Jasper and Alyssa are hopeless romantics. How many more individu

"On top of that, you've been working hard every day. You toiled and moiled for the sake of the corporation. But Grandpa didn't even thank you for your contributions. "How could he embarrass you in front of all those outsiders? That was brutal of him!" Betty wasn't satisfied with maligning Lauren. She stabbed Newton in the back, too. Sophia was already dead. Now, Javier was the only one in the Beckett family she could rely on. After all, Newton no longer sided with her. Since this was the case, she figured that she should continue sowing discord. She wanted to drive a wedge further in between Newton and Javier. As she expected, the expression on Javier's face turned even darker after hearing what she said. Deep down, she was gleeful. She suddenly recalled when Sophia told her about a rift between Javier and Chester. So, she decided to leverage this to sow more seeds of discord. "Dad, what do you think Grandpa meant? He can't be thinking that Uncle Chester could come back to

Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton's place. Landon and Lauren were with them, too. They chatted happily and enjoyed each other's company. The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner. Then, Landon asked Angelina to retrieve a thick stack of documents from a briefcase. He laid out the documents before Newton with the others as his witnesses. He filled the round table with his written proof of his ascendancy. It was as if he was trying to decorate the entire table. Yet, these were only the tip of the iceberg. Alyssa was someone used to extravagant spectacles. His title deeds alone were thick enough to make her gasp in wonder. "There's nothing to be envious about." Jasper smiled. He interlocked his fingers with hers under the table. In a soft and low voice, he said, "I have whatever he has, too. I own no less than him." "Well, even with the both of you combined, what you own is still less than ten percent of Winston's. There's nothing for me to be

"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

Jasper strode out of the room and hurried down the stairs, his pace so brisk that Xavier had to jog to keep up. As Jasper reached the living room, he spotted Justin sitting upright in his wheelchair, alone. Their eyes locked when Jasper was just a few steps away.Hostility flickered between their gazes.Curling his lips upward into a slight smile, Justin asked, "Jasper, heading out at this hour?"Xavier gritted his teeth, loathing the self-righteous air Justin exuded, as if he always held the upper hand. The sight made him want to charge forward and knock Justin clean off his wheelchair."It's late. Why aren't you in bed?" Jasper asked coldly, his tone as sharp as his glare. "It seems that broken body of yours is still holding up.""Jasper, you seem to be in a rush. Did something happen? Do you need my help?" Justin maintained the smile on his face, disregarding Jasper's sarcastic remark. "It's none of your business."Without another word, Jasper swept past him. Justin's

Jasper lay restrained on the bed, his body writhing violently as waves of agony crashed over him. A towel clenched between his teeth muffled his cries, though it could not silence the torment. Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of invisible ants—a relentless, gnawing pain brought on by withdrawal.He knew he could no longer rely on the medication. Time and again, the temptation clawed at him, urging him to surrender and take the easy way out. Relief was just a pill away. But Jasper's willpower, though battered, refused to shatter. Anne's words echoed in his mind, a guiding light in the darkness. She had always taught him to be a righteous man—one with a clear conscience. Curling into himself, Jasper shut his bloodshot eyes. He couldn't disappoint Anne. He couldn't let down those who believed in him. He had to resist the dark side. Outside the room, Xavier glanced at his wristwatch. Judging the timing to be right, he pushed the door open and l

"How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech
