"Mr. Beckett, we have dealt with the three students per your and Madam Alyssa's orders. The family company of one student was on the brink of bankruptcy after getting embroiled in some scandals, including questionable product quality. The police followed the trail of evidence and uncovered criminal evidence against his father, who was arrested this morning."Another student was found to hire prostitutes, organize group sex, and have a penchant for BDSM. I made someone else distribute his photos and videos online from an overseas IP. Netizens are now 'enjoying' his works. I'm afraid his father's political career has met an end because of his scandal," Xavier reported with enthusiasm.Jasper nodded in satisfaction. "How about the remaining student?""Well…" After a pause, Xavier lowered his voice, "The third student suffered the worst fate. From what I heard, he had been abducted. He was later found with ten or so slash wounds on his body, but none was fatal. He was castrated by the a

"Landon, you're home early today," Jasper replied to Landon's greeting."Darling, I'm home. Why don't you give me a hug after a long day?" Landon beamed as he opened his arms at Lauren. The black coat, which was loosely draped on his shoulders, fell onto the floor, but he did not bother to pick it up.Despite feeling oddly nervous, Lauren obediently went up to Landon and sneaked into his arms like an adorable kitten. He wrapped his tall and muscular body around her, carrying with him the warmth from the car heater that seeped into her skin. The warm sensation helped soothe her emotions."Landon, don't be angry," she mumbled in a voice only audible to them."Hm? Why would I be angry at you for no reason?" he whispered in a raspy voice."I-I…" Lauren had learned to carefully ponder her words before voicing them aloud. After some thinking, she chose to keep her thoughts to herself."If you've done something to upset me, just give me a kiss, and I won't be angry at you anymore." Land

Alyssa understood what Lauren was trying to say. She let out an awkward cough. It had already been a while since Alyssa was married and had a long-term partner. So, she wasn't too embarrassed to talk about the matters in the bedroom. She asked in a serious voice, "Lauren, are you ready to become a mother?" "A… mother?" Lauren was taken aback. She felt as if this word was far from her grasp. To be frank, she wasn't ready. She even felt like she was not yet an adult. Moreover, she had a condition. She wasn't even sure if her children would be affected. That said, she knew that Landon yearned to start a family with her. Each time they made love, when he was at his climax, he would mumble in her ear, "Let's start a family… Lauren, Let's have a few children… Doesn't matter if they're boys or girls. I will love them as long as they're yours…"A conflicted look came across Lauren's face. "I… haven't thought about that. Do you plan to bear children for Jasper, Alyssa?" This on

In the study, Landon tried to pour Jasper a drink but was rejected. "My driver's not with me today. I won't be drinking as I need to drive." "I didn't expect you and Alyssa to come over tonight." Landon picked up the glass that Jasper turned down and drank from it instead. Then, he placed it back down. His tall frame leaned against the side of the table relaxedly. He retrieved a cigarette from his cigarette box and lit it naturally. He inhaled so deeply that he almost looked avaricious. It was as if he wanted to fill his lungs with smoke. "Are you in a bad mood?" Jasper squinted at him. "I'm alright." "You've previously mentioned that Lauren doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so you've cut down on smoking for her sake. I can see that your ashtray is looking like a mass grave. You've been smoking double the amount from last time, haven't you?" Right after, Jasper started speaking like he was Landon's elder. In an exceptionally serious tone, he questioned, "Do you wa

After coming out from Sage Manor, Alyssa and Jasper sat in silence in the car for quite a while. Finally, Alyssa broke the silence. "Jasper, I… I will make a trip home tonight. Aren't you leaving for a long-distance trip tomorrow morning? You can just go back to Seaview Manor. Or you can come to my place for the night, too." Jasper was still worried about Landon. So, he frowned and agreed, "Alright. I'll drop you off at Heightsnew Villa then. I'll see you again tomorrow night." Upon returning to Heightsnew Villa, they exchanged a farewell kiss that conveyed their reluctance to part ways.After watching Alyssa go into the house, Jasper's gaze became glum. He took out his phone and dialed Xavier's number. "What are the updates from the hospital?" "That man died from excessive bleeding. His parents are also prominent figures in Solana City. They are insisting on taking this to court. "The problem is that the police are also now involved. It would get tricky if their investi

Under Jasper's orchestration in secret, the subordinate under the Harper Group took the initiative to turn himself in. He admitted to his crime on the spot and gave his testimony by providing all the details of his offense. All he said matched the situation perfectly. There was sufficient evidence for the police to conclude the case. Although the student's father still wanted to look into his son's death further, his capabilities were limited, and he could only accept the outcome as it was. At the same time, Preston was quick-witted. He had already gotten an understanding of the ins and outs of the incident. The moment he found out that Lauren was the one who was taken hostage, he knew that this incident had to be connected to Landon. The cruelty of the crime had Landon's name written all over it! "What? The background of the man who turned himself in was clean?" Preston's eyes were as wide as saucers. "That's right. His background has been wiped clean. He does not have a s

"Hi, Landon. Hi, Uncle Preston." Zoe stopped right in front of them. A sweet smile came across her face. She was pretending to be nice. "Oh, hey, Zoe! Are you feeling better?" Preston asked, pretending to be concerned. "I'm much better. Thanks for asking, Uncle Preston." "That's good to hear. You're a precious one in the Harper family. Your Grandpa and mother would be sad if anything bad happened to you!" Preston uttered these words for Landon to hear. Following that, he shot Zoe a look before walking away while humming a tune. "What are you doing here?" Landon glared at her frigidly. "I made some chicken soup for Grandpa, so I'm bringing it to him while it's still hot." Zoe blinked. She had an innocent look in her eyes. "Landon, you're not going to stop me from being nice to Grandpa, are you?" Landon's deep and icy gaze narrowed as he raised his hand, pointing dominantly at her face.Although he hadn't said a word, Zoe's heart started racing out of fear. Her hands,

Cornelius asked, "That lady from the Beckett family has a mental condition?""That's right, Grandpa." A vicious look flashed across Zoe's gleaming eyes. She continued, "She and the entire Beckett family have been hiding Lauren's condition from you all along. She actually has severe autism. In other words, she is mentally disabled. "I was in the same middle school as her. At that time, other classmates would call her 'dumb' and 'idiot' behind her back. She also quit her tertiary studies halfway because of her condition." "No wonder I've always felt that there was something strange about her every time I met her. Despite being 21… or is it 22? Her mind is still like a child's. Turns out that it's because of her mental problem! "As expected, Sophia's offspring is indeed problematic! Even though she died, she still left her retarded daughter to wreck my precious grandson!" Cornelius started coughing. He was so consumed by anger that he started to feel unwell. He coughed continuous

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's
