Axel smirked. "I merely mentioned Josh's name, and you've already deduced that I'm here for revenge. Not only did you ascertain my intention to avenge someone, but you also discerned that it's Jonah I'm seeking vengeance for."

Amber felt a rush of heat to her cheeks. She might be cunning in other respects, but in the presence of Axel, her mind seemed to go blank. It was as if she was walking straight into a trap.

"I am Mr. Jameson's employee. Regarding the matters involving the Schmidt Group, I—"

Suddenly, Amber found herself silenced. This time, Axel was the one to cover her mouth. Simultaneously, they heard the footsteps of two black-clad bodyguards drawing near.

"Hm? I thought I heard someone talking."

The footsteps stopped next to the storage shelves.

Amber's forehead beaded with sweat, and her breaths grew shallow. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest.

Yet, Axel's gaze was calm. He moved his hand to the back of her head. He weaved his fingers in her hair and ge

    "You said that the Schmidt brothers were birds of the same feather. Are you saying that Jameson is an animal too?" Axel questioned. There was a tremor in Amber's lashes. "All female escorts who provide services to their customers at The Millennium are all doing so on their own volition." "Are you also a follower of his out of your own volition?" Axel narrowed his eyes as he pulled his hand away from her waist. At this time, Amber felt like her heart was being trampled on. Her heart ached. She replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it is of my own choice." Axel tilted his head and sniggered coldly. The look in his eyes became dim. It didn't matter what her reason for helping him was. It could be that she wasn't in her right mind, or that she had other intentions toward him. He had to always keep in mind that she was on Jameson's side. "Take this evidence with you and hand it to Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Jasper." Amber's eyes were fiery. "These are Josh's weaknesses. I'm sure that they

    The sharp and hasty sound of Amber's silver heels echoed through the corridor as she made her way directly to Room S001. "Ms. Altman! You're finally here!" The supervisor and a few female escorts were standing by the door. They were trembling in fright and feeling at a loss. One of the ladies had wounds on her forehead where she had been hit. Blood was flowing down the sides of her face and dripping down to the floor. Another escort had a bruise around her eye. They were both badly injured. "That asshole! How could he be so cruel?" Amber's heart broke for them. She rebuked the supervisor, "Why are you just idling around? Can't you see that they're so badly injured? Why haven't you sent them to the hospital? What are you waiting for?" "Ms. Altman, there's no problem arranging for them to be taken to the hospital. However, it's crucial to address the crisis inside first!"The supervisor was perspiring in fear. "Mr. Josh is a big shot. Moreover, he is Mr. Jameson's older brot

    "60,000 dollars? This is daylight robbery!" Josh gritted his teeth in anger. "You are Mr. Josh Schmidt, the Schmidt Group's ex-president. 60,000 dollars should be a drop in the bucket for you. You won't even feel the pinch, will you?" Amber jeered at him. Everyone present was dumbfounded. Amber bore a striking resemblance to Alyssa, not only in appearance but also in temperament and arrogance.The Millennium's supervisor stared at Amber with his jaw dropped. He was so terrified that it felt like his heart had stopped. However, more than that, he felt a little strange. They had worked together for such a long time, and somehow, she didn't feel like the Amber he knew. There were often customers at The Millennium who caused trouble after having too much to drink. As the owner, she had to step up to resolve the situation on multiple occasions. Situations like these always end in a peaceful resolution. She would never provoke them like that. Nevertheless, with Josh, she looked

    "Y-You… hit me?" Josh's head was spinning. His mouth was full of blood, and he could barely speak clearly."You came to my place to cause trouble and even laid hands on my people. Josh, have I been too nice to you?" Jameson looked down on Josh with a cold smirk."Y-Your... place?" Josh stared at Jameson in shock."Mr. Schmidt owns The Millennium. Everything here belongs to him," Carl proudly explained from the side.Josh froze and became speechless at those words.The Millennium was the most prestigious club in the country, as well as a money-squandering haven where many dreamed of becoming members to show off their status. The mysterious boss behind it was actually Jameson?How could he, a discarded pawn who had just found a foothold in the Schmidt family, have such a large business? What kind of joke was this?"Since you've come here to spend money, I wouldn't have bothered you if you had behaved. But it looks like it's too difficult for you to do that."After saying that, Ja

    Back in his room, Jameson angrily downed a glass of strong liquor to ease his frustration."Mr. Schmidt, there's no need to be upset with that idiot," Carl hurriedly consoled him."He's already a lost cause, just struggling in his final moments. With Ms. Alyssa's intelligence, she would find out that Josh leaked Jonah's information. In fact, she might have already found out, and it's only a matter of time before she takes action."Please calm down. We just need to wait for the Taylor family to make their move and have them deal with him for you.""Amber, what happened?" Jameson asked, his gaze icy as he stared at Amber, who was cowering in the corner."You've never appeared to drink with customers without my instructions. Why did you show up at Josh's room?""I—""Oh, Mr. Schmidt, let me explain," Carl interjected quickly."I've looked into the situation. That scumbag Josh specifically requested Ms. Altman to drink with him. Our people tried to stop him, but he went crazy, smas

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Schmidt. I've been busy tonight, and I truly didn't know that someone had infiltrated. Please punish me."Amber immediately lowered her head, fearing that Jameson might discern her thoughts and reveal her secrets. "Hah, a flying thief? Interesting."Jameson lounged on the couch with his long legs crossed as he casually glanced at Amber standing stiffly. "I know someone who has that level of skill. You know him too, Amber.""Who?""The person you've been thinking about helping me get rid of."Amber's face turned pale. She clenched her lips tightly, and she felt as though blood was draining out of her body."Could there be such… a coincidence?" She tried her best to suppress her trembling voice."If we make a bold assumption, it's not impossible."Jameson tapped a rhythm on his knee with his slender fingers. "Josh is having fun here tonight. Maybe someone is eager for revenge and can't wait for Lyse to act, so they want to take care of that scumbag themselves. I

    Jasper's face stiffened, and in his panic, the chicken pieces in his hand dropped into the oil pan with a thud.Splashes of oil flew onto his hands and arms, causing him pain. He suddenly regained his senses and awkwardly parted his lips. "Axel.""Do you always talk dirty like this?"Axel lightly scoffed and craned his neck to peek into the oil pan. "I don't know if Lyse smelled it or not, but I did come because of the smell. It smells like something's burned."Jasper was startled, and then he realized that he hadn't taken out the chicken pieces he had put into the pan earlier.He hurriedly grabbed a slotted spoon. But by the time he retrieved them, the chicken pieces had turned brown.Jasper's eyes drooped with frustration. Suddenly, he remembered the series of "fails" Winston had said when he first tasted Jasper's cooking. That voice was still ringing in his ears."Forget it. I understand your intentions. You don't have to force yourself to do something you're not good at. If

    Alyssa continued, "You could have just ordered takeout. Why bother tiring yourself out?""It's not tiring if it's for you." Jasper's sturdy arms wrapped around her slender waist. He looked at Axel gratefully. "Besides, I didn't do much. It was all Axel's work.""Oh, make them crispy, Axel."Axel clutched his chest, almost spitting blood into the pot. He didn't expect to experience Alyssa's favor for Jasper firsthand.With Axel's efficient work and Jasper's assistance, two plates of golden fried chicken were soon placed on the table.Meanwhile, Jasper's few failed attempts remained gloomily in the corner, like mistresses who couldn't be shown."Quick, Lyse, try my cooking."Axel propped himself on the table, smiling as he watched Alyssa with anticipation. "It's been so long since I made fried chicken for you. Try it. See if my skills have deteriorated."Alyssa grabbed a piece with her hand. She parted her crimson lips and took a big bite.It was crunchy and flavorful."This is

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

    The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

    Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

    That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

    Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
