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

Newton tried hard to keep a straight face. But he was so moved that his eyes welled up in tears. He felt as if he had just seen a reflection of his younger self. He was glad to know that Lauren was marrying her Mr. Right. …On the way home, Landon couldn't keep his delight to himself. Moreover, he also had a few drinks with Jasper. He kept Lauren in his embrace. At the same time, he sang songs and asked her for kisses endlessly. Angelina was in the driver's seat. She snuck a few glances through the rearview mirror. She maintained her usual expression on her face. However, deep down, she was elated. "Oh… Landon. Give… Give me a moment." Lauren was very tickled by Landon's touches. She placed her hands on his chest as she tried to push him away. Landon became woozy at the sight of the hickeys that had formed on her fair-skinned neck. He pulled her in tighter by the waist. "What is it? Don't you want me to show you some love? Hmm?" "That's… That's not it. Your saliva got

Alyssa exclaimed, "He even went through a critical stage. How could I not panic?" Alyssa broke out in a cold sweat that made her back damp. She felt numb. "Why didn't you call me at that time? Dad went through something like that… I'm his daughter. How could I not be by his side?" Jasper saw that her eyes had filled with tears. He felt as if his heart was being crushed. Immediately, he took her shaking hand and gave it a tight squeeze. Under usual circumstances, she would playfully tease Winston, occasionally displaying indifference towards him. But in times like these, her genuine anxiety for her father was clear. Jasper fully understood where she was coming from.Jonah looked into Alyssa's eyes. He sighed helplessly. "It was Dad who made us keep it from you." Alyssa felt a sharp pain in her heart. "Dad…" "When Dad was having the stroke, he instructed Mr. Benton not to inform us, especially you." Jonah tried his best to speak in a neutral tone. "Dad knows that you've been

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

Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin
