Betty's makeup-clad face froze up as she shuddered."Are we close? It's not nice to touch me all over without my permission." Landon forcefully withdrew his arm from her hold. "I-I'm sorry. I saw you as my brother because you're Jasper's friend. Nothing more than that …" She worried that he might come to detest her, so she had to explain herself."You're his sister, not mine. Mind your manners next time," he dropped a frosty remark and left. He wouldn't want a random stranger to dirty that precious shirt Alice had bought for him. Betty clenched her fists hard. Suddenly, Landon stopped dead in his tracks, put a hand in his pocket, and squinted at her. She quickly wore a smile as her heart thumped loudly."Landon might be tough on the outside, but he is soft on the inside. He must care about me!" she thought excitedly."I can't wrap my head around the recent fashion trends.""What?" She was taken aback."I didn't know that people were putting lipstick on their teeth now. I lear

Landon blushed when he added, "And she has more than one suitor!"Last night, he could think of nothing else but Alice's remark on his way home.She had confessed to him, "I wouldn't learn to love without Jasper. I will not fall for another man after leaving him."Why not? Why couldn't she?Of course, he would never let Jasper know. Why would he give Jasper something to gloat over?At the same time, Jasper was struck by a belated realization. Pain twisted his heart."Is this what it is, Alice? You giving up on your happiness just to get even with me?" he wondered. …Business was good at the KS World Hotel with a 40% increase in occupancy rate and a full house at the restaurant every day.The hotel employees worked hard in high spirits, encouraged by Betty Beckett's apology. They felt that their efforts were seen and knew Alyssa would speak up for them if they were bullied. The results were good because the morale was high.Alyssa happily checked the monthly financial report

How unbelievably cruel of you to bully your younger sibling, Betty Beckett!"Mrs. Rosie, look, I understand, truly. But please remember that I am not Jasper's wife anymore. I'm an outsider who has no say in family matters." Alyssa was helpless despite her feeling indignant. "I know. But who else can I count on except for you? I can't talk to anyone about this." Mrs. Rosie wept."Hey, d-don't cry." Alyssa felt sorry for the old lady and gently comforted her, "I have taken note of Lauren's situation. Please take care of her for now. I'll help her out if I get the chance to do so.""Thank you! Thank you, Madam Alice!" Mrs. Rosie expressed immense gratitude and reluctantly ended the call.Alyssa sighed after the phone screen went dark."Is she the old lady at the Becketts that you've mentioned before?" asked Jonah after taking a sip of tea."Yeah. She's an honest and kind soul who raised Jasper. She was good to me when I lived at the Becketts'."She would not hesitate to reciproca

Tears and heartbreak were part and parcel of a committed relationship.Alyssa had shed enough tears for Jasper. It was time to put everything behind her.…The days flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was Newton Beckett's birthday. The Beckett family accorded the old man's birthday event with high importance. For the occasion, Javier had splurged on a hundred-million-dollar mansion as a gift, which became the venue for the celebration.The event attendees were notable figures in Solana City's high society, ranging from business tycoons to Newton's old friends from the Painter's Society—a couple of whom were locally famous artists.Liana and Betty had started their preparation a week ago for the event. They busied themselves with dress selection, facial care, and manicure sessions. They showed up at the event looking like it was their big day, competing with the other ladies to grab the spotlight.Unfortunately, the exterior design of the mansion ran in contrast to their flamboyan

"Aunt Sophia, I'm so lucky to have you!" Liana almost shed tears of gratitude.There was a sudden commotion among the guests as the socialites turned their attention to the main entrance. There, Jasper and Landon made their way together to the venue. The two accomplished men instantly became the center of attraction. As scions of the Beckett family and the Harper family, respectively, they were the subject of photographers and the heartthrobs to all ladies.Both men were dressed in suits. Jasper opted for an all-black attire that gave off a stoic and imposing air. In contrast, Landon wore an all-white suit, looking clean and refined."Oh my God! Mr. Beckett and Mr. Harper are here!""I can die happy now that I've seen them in person!""Look at Mr. Beckett's long legs! And that face—he's too perfect to be a human. He looks like a main character in a dating sim!""Don't forget Mr. Harper! I'm swooning at his devilish grin! I have a thing for him."Liana noticed Landon checking o

Liana noticed that Jasper had been fixating on Alice ever since Alice showed up. Fueled by insecurity and rage, she started plotting her moves."Alice!" Landon flashed a broad smile and waved at her. She nodded softly and returned the smile while Betty turned green with envy at his enthusiasm.Just as Alyssa was about to brush shoulders with Jasper, he suddenly reached out to hold her arm. "Where are you going?""I can't stay by your side, Mr. Beckett." She slowly removed her arm from his grasp with a faint smile. Anger flooded his veins. He wanted to say something, only to be interrupted by Sophia, who approached them arm in arm with Liana."Alice, I'm so glad you came. I thought you were going to skip the event."They instantly became the center of attention as the guests speculated the relationship between the stunning beauty and the Beckett Group."Mrs. Beckett, I have no reason to be absent. Grandpa has been looking forward to celebrating his birthday with Jasper and me," Al

A hush silence hung in the air before the crowd buzzed in excited whispers. The guests had not expected to come across the juicy gossip at the birthday event.The look in Alyssa's eyes hardened. Yet, she remained composed. Everything was under her control. Landon ran to her worriedly and panted heavy and hot air all over her. Concerned, he mumbled, "Alice …"She turned around, her face lighting up with a bewitching smile. "It's fine."He was once again smitten by her irresistible smile."Sophia, let's keep the focus on Grandpa's birthday. Enough with the gossiping, especially not about my private life." Jasper's eyes simmered with hostility and fury."Forgive me, Jasper, for speaking without thinking." Faking a guilty expression, Sophia chuckled. "I just wanted to introduce Alice to our guests today who might not know her. "She was once our daughter-in-law after all. Even after the divorce, we can't have people looking down on her because of her background."Sophia had craftily

Sophia said, "Lia, you're his granddaughter-in-law. Go and give your grandpa a hand.""Grandpa, I'll help." Liana smiled demurely and walked up to Newton, but the latter flashed a smile at Jasper and Alyssa instead."Jasper! Alice! Come over and help me out." Not only that, Newton rolled his eyes at Javier. "Get out of my way. I'm tired of you. I prefer the company of youngsters. Their spirits cheer me up!"Javier smiled bitterly and let go of his dad. Liana had stopped in her tracks. Red in embarrassment, she debated if she should stay put or walk up.Forcing a smile, she silently cursed at Newton, "Old fart! Why are you still hanging around?"Alyssa glared at Jasper, who happened to look in her direction. She quickly looked away after they exchanged glances, leaving him with the view of her cold side profile.A little fazed, he pursed his lips and removed his gaze from her. They walked side to side to Newton.Everyone exchanged looks, feeling amused by Newton's treatment of Li

Julien's questions sent the hall into an uproar. In an instant, the number of viewers on the live stream shot up to 50 million, and the comment section exploded."Dr. Lovelace has presented Mr. Jasper's examination reports. He never did drugs—he was framed! This is undeniable!""He risked his life to save Ms. Alyssa, yet ended up being manipulated, dismissed, and investigated like a criminal. He almost carried a lifelong stain on his name. What a despicable move by whoever did this!"Then, a comment appeared, saying, "Wasn't it Justin Beckett, the current president of Beckett Group, who orchestrated all of this? He set up his own younger brother just to seize power. What a vile man!"Yet, less than two seconds later, the comment vanished.But no matter how many trolls swarmed in or how quickly posts were deleted, the public's outrage could not be silenced. Suspicion against Justin surged, and tens of thousands of negative comments flooded the chat.Julien stood below the stage,

The once lively and fashion-loving Julien now seemed like a star that had lost its light. The radiance that once defined him had vanished. Julien walked past Jonah without stopping. The short distance between them gave Jonah a painfully clear view of the cross-shaped scar on Julien's cheek. His heart wrenched, the pain so intense that his vision blurred. He staggered. "Jonah, are you alright?" Fortunately, Landon was beside him and caught him just in time. Staring at Julien's slim figure, Jonah parted his dry lips, but no words came out.Bitterness filled the back of his throat, and his longing for Julien sent sharp, stabbing pains through his body.Julien stopped beside Jasper, offering him a small smile and a nod as a greeting.Then, his gaze turned fierce as he locked eyes with Justin's hypocritical expression."My name is Julien Lovelace. I was once Mr. Jasper's primary physician. Approximately six months ago, Mr. Jasper made a deal with Jameson to rescue Ms. Alyssa w

Alyssa stood at the doorway, her slim figure framed against the light, yet she seemed to tower over the room. Her presence commanded attention, filling the hall with an air of reverence and grandeur. From across the room, Jasper's dark eyes burned with intensity. To him, Alyssa was like a golden phoenix, its wings unfurling as it soared, radiating brilliance over everything in its wake. "Lyse!"Jonah and Landon stared in shock. They hadn't expected Alyssa to show up at the press conference. Camera flashes erupted once more."It's Ms. Alyssa Taylor!""We should address her properly now—she's the head of KS Group!" "Wait… Is she here to support Jasper? I thought they broke up?""What do you even know? They used to be in love!" Justin narrowed his eyes at Alyssa's frigid, determined expression. Slowly, his lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.Alyssa met his gaze, suppressing the hatred surging within her. Then, with an air of composure, she turned to the crowd. "W

"That's rubbish. I never asked you to do anything like that!" Sheryl's bloodshot eyes burned with fury. She clenched her fists, longing to silence Sebastian."I didn't expect you to admit it," Sebastian said coldly. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his phone. After scrolling briefly, he held it up for all to see. "You were wary of me recording our conversations, but you never suspected I'd install a hidden camera in my office. This footage clearly shows you bribing and threatening me. With this evidence, denial is futile!"The crowd turned to Sheryl, their gazes heavy with shock and suspicion. When their eyes shifted to Justin, doubt lingered in the air.Sheryl's heart sank, her face draining of color.As cautious as she was, she had miscalculated. But it didn't matter. She had carried out the task herself, avoiding any direct mention of Justin's orders. Justin could still be saved.It was Sheryl who had fallen short in her responsibilities, and she was ready to tak

Jasper's eyes blazed with fury as he locked his gaze on Justin, a sharp, determined gleam in his dark eyes. "I will clear my name and restore my reputation, no matter the cost!" he declared, his voice ringing with resolve.The tension between Justin, standing on stage, and Jasper, positioned below, was palpable—like a killer whale facing off with a great white shark. The outcome was still uncertain."I, Landon Harper, swear on my name and the entirety of Harper Group that Jasper never did drugs. The whole situation was a setup!" Landon's voice resounded throughout the entire hall. The reporters buzzed with questions. "Who would do such a thing?"Landon refrained from directly naming Justin, aware that exposing the wolf in sheep's clothing would not be easy. Accusing him too hastily might provide Justin with an opportunity to counterattack, exploiting any gaps in their case.Landon had no fear of tarnishing his own reputation, but he was deeply concerned about the damage it m

Everyone turned to look behind them.Justin's icy gaze locked onto the doors, his expression dark and foreboding. The light pouring in from outside was blinding, piercing through the shadows like a blade. As the crowd squinted against the glare, two figures emerged, standing tall and resolute side by side.It was Jasper and Landon. Clad in a sleek black suit, Landon bore traces of dust but appeared otherwise unscathed. Jasper, however, was a stark contrast. His clothes were torn and bloodied, his appearance disheveled, but his demeanor was anything but defeated. Standing straight and proud, his frigid stare was enough to make the crowd shrink back, unwilling to meet his eyes."Mr. Justin," Landon began, his voice sharp and cutting, "you've gone to great lengths to keep Jasper from this press conference."Ever the rebel with the air of a street-hardened fighter, Landon didn't mince words. "To stop him, you sent assassins to ambush him. You had your people block his way in the

Meanwhile, the light above one of Taylor General Hospital's emergency surgery theaters flickered off. Moments later, the door swung open, and a doctor emerged, pulling down his surgical mask. Mandy hurried toward the doctor, her eyes brimming with worry. "How is that poor man doing?" "Mrs. Taylor, it's fortunate you brought him in when you did. Ten minutes later, and we might not have been able to save him. He went into shock from excessive blood loss, but he's stable now. I gave him a transfusion and sutured his wounds. He'll need rest and proper nutrition to recover fully."Relief washed over Mandy, and her tense body slackened. Her knees nearly buckled as she murmured, "Thank God… Thank God!" Once the doctor departed, Mandy instructed her driver to purchase the best blood-replenishing supplements available, sparing no expense.The driver had only been employed by the Taylor family for the past two years, so he was unaware of the true reasons behind Mandy's actions.

Soon enough, Jasper and Jonah found themselves surrounded by a horde of fighters. The atmosphere was charged with a vicious, merciless tension that heightened their awareness. They were now in the underground parking lot of Berenike Hotel.This was one of the Beckett family's properties, with Newton overseeing the construction personally.Berenike Hotel had always been the leader among all the five-star hotels in Solana City. Yet, on this day, when a critical press conference was about to begin, Justin chose to start a massacre in the hotel's parking lot, disregarding the potential damage to the hotel's reputation. His actions were utterly insane and perverse. "Shall we each take down ten of them?" Jonah nudged Jasper with his elbow. Narrowing his eyes, he added, "The press conference starts in ten minutes. Think you can wrap this up by then?"A cold, fierce glint flashed in Jasper's usually dull eyes. "I'll take down 15 and leave five for you." "Why only five for me?"Jasp

The golden iris stood as a symbol of triumph."Ms. Alyssa, we're on track. We'll make it to the press conference on time!" Sean declared, stepping on the accelerator with a fiery look in his eyes. "Safety first," Alyssa reminded him in a calm, steady voice. Surprisingly, at this crucial juncture, she appeared composed. "Taty is due soon, and you're about to become a father. As a family man, you shouldn't be as reckless as before." The thought of his unborn son brought a blissful smile to Sean's face, softening his fiery resolve.Alyssa closed her eyes, though her mind remained in overdrive. The truth was, she was forcing herself to stay alert. Ever since Amber's disappearance, she hadn't had a single restful night. The once carefree Alyssa, who could sleep through anything, was long gone. Her frayed nerves left her in a weakened state, but she held on.She had survived when others hadn't, and that resilience fueled her belief that she could endure again. This time, she wou
