However, Freddy was a man of dignity and didn't want to argue with Landon right then and there. He noted this incident in his mind and vowed to make Landon pay for it."Lauren, let's go," Landon said, gripping Lauren's tense shoulders before leading her away."Lauren!" Freddy called out to Lauren's retreating figure with a smile. "I've just returned from Yoarkley not long ago. I'm planning a class reunion in a few days. Will you be able to attend?"Lauren closed her eyes tightly and took a few deep breaths, trying hard to expel those unbearable memories from her mind.Landon's hand on her shoulder tensed visibly, and he glared coldly at Freddy. "Birds of a feather flock together. My wife belongs to a higher circle. None of you deserve her attention."Zoe and Freddy stood frozen in place with the same ugly expression on their faces.…Alyssa and Jasper's appearance instantly became the center of attention. They didn't set out to steal the spotlight, but their sheer magnetism and

All eyes turned toward the door.Dressed sharply in a suit, Jameson appeared in everyone's view while pushing a frail woman in a wheelchair."Lyse, who's that lady in the wheelchair?" Jasper looked puzzled."It's Victor's wife, Jameson's mother." Alyssa's expression darkened as she glanced at Lily.Jasper narrowed his eyes. He vaguely recalled seeing Jameson's mother once at Lyla's birthday party.At that time, under Jameson's careful styling, Lily appeared elegant despite her illness. She exuded a remarkable presence, just like an upper-class lady.However, this time, her condition was noticeably worse than before, with graying hair and sunken cheeks.Although the banquet hall wasn't cold, she needed to wrap herself in a blanket. She looked uncomfortable under the scrutiny of strangers.Victor and Josh paled with shock—especially Victor. He stared from a distance at his long-neglected wife, and his eyes gradually reddened with simmering resentment.He knew full well what Jame

"Lauren..." Jasper and Alyssa were both stunned.Alyssa then smiled faintly and looked at Lauren gratefully while feeling warm inside."Lauren is right. Are you spreading rumors right in front of Mr. Beckett and Ms. Alyssa? Do you think the legal departments of Beckett Group and KS Group are useless?"Landon held Lauren by the shoulder and gazed coldly at the gossipers. "If you have the guts, go ahead and say another word. Harper Group will play along with you."Those gossiping women, already embarrassed by Lauren's scolding, were further intimidated by Landon's fierce demeanor. They didn't even dare breathe, cowering like a bunch of quails."I recognize you. You're Mr. Jameson." Lauren elegantly lifted her skirt and walked over, blocking Alyssa from view. It was the first time she had boldly met the gaze of a stranger. "Mr. Jameson, are you Alyssa's friend?"Alyssa smirked at that question. The word "friend" seemed tainted when used in connection with Jameson. But she didn't bla

Zoe knew what Freddy meant—sex.Freddy had pursued her for years. Calling him the ultimate simp wouldn't be an exaggeration. But back then, she wasn't interested in Freddy because of her feelings for Jasper. Eventually, after all that had happened, Zoe gave up on Jasper and settled for Freddy.Freddy was serious about marrying her, but she only saw him as a means to fulfill her sexual desires. After they slept together, Zoe would be satisfied and could go days or even a month without seeing him.However, Zoe couldn't ignore him anymore. He was now an essential part of her plan. She needed to keep him around for a good reason."I know, Freddy. You're the kindest and most loving person to me in this whole world."Zoe wrapped her arms around Freddy's neck, pressing her chest against his. With a pout, she said pitifully, "You'll help me if I'm in trouble, right?"Freddy's desire flared up from her teasing, and he could barely hold onto his glass of red wine. He wished he could pin

Jameson's expression was visibly cold, while his eyes were filled with simmering rage.Josh uncovered a part of the Schmidt family's scandal from back then.Despite the disgrace it brought upon the entire Schmidt family, Josh was determined to embarrass both Jameson and Lily, stoking Victor's disdain toward them. He wanted Lily to forever remain a despised whore.The crowd gasped, intrigued by the unfolding drama. After all, who wouldn't be interested to hear gossip about a wealthy family?"What does Mr. Josh mean by that?""Why does it sound like Mrs. Schmidt did something to hurt Mr. Victor?""I remember now!"Someone recalled the scandal and said, "There was gossip back then in the magazines, claiming Mrs. Schmidt was keeping a lover on the side. She was caught in the act by Mr. Victor. That's why she was exiled overseas.""Caught in the act?" Everyone was shocked."At that time, we didn't have the internet. It was all newspapers and magazines. Within 24 hours of this scand

Josh finally realized that Jameson was there today to settle old scores with him.All eyes, including Victor's, were fixed on Josh's stiff face."Jameson, what nonsense are you talking about?"Josh had seen his fair share of deceitful people and wasn't fooled by Jameson's words. He gritted his teeth and coldly retorted, "What does your mom's infidelity have anything to do with me?""I'm asking you just one thing. Do you dare swear that my mom's alleged affair has nothing to do with you?""Hah! Why should I swear to you? Who do you think you are?" Josh was unyielding.Jameson smirked with pale lips, his eyes seemingly harboring a deadly storm. "Josh, haven't you always wanted to reclaim the position of president from me? Let's make a bet."If you dare swear that my mom's alleged affair has nothing to do with you, I'll hand over the position to you."The crowd was stunned.Alyssa and Jasper stared at Jameson in shock.They knew that for Jameson, the position of Schmidt Group's

In an instant, Josh became the target of everyone's gaze.Meanwhile, Lily trembled in Jameson's arms while staring at Seth's face. Her eyes were clouded with bloodshot veins, and her body was twitching, teetering on the edge of a breakdown.Despite her usual confusion due to illness, the sight of the man who had brought her immense humiliation years ago ignited a deep-seated resentment within her.Witnessing Lily's distress, Alyssa felt sorry for her.Regardless of Jameson's misdeeds, Lily was innocent.However, their differing positions prevented Alyssa from comforting Lily. She wouldn't give Jameson any chance to misunderstand.Victor, still trying to grasp the situation, looked at Jameson in surprise. "Jimmy, why have you brought this man here?""Josh, should I tell Dad what you did 15 years ago, or would you like to confess yourself?" Jameson's icy eyes bore into Josh."Jameson, you're really going all out with this act."Josh's heart pounded like a drum, but he put on a s

"Oh my! If this is true, I truly feel sorry for Mrs. Schmidt! I feel like going in to give her a hug!""Mr. Schmidt leaving the country and caring for his sick mother at such a young age is truly a tale of hardship! This life story is like ready-made material for a TV series!""Mr. Beckett and Mr. Schmidt are both hot in their own ways, and their lives are equally tragic.""15 years ago, Josh was still quite young, right? Yet he could come up with such a wicked scheme. He's truly a born demon! What a scumbag! I support Mr. Schmidt in fighting back. He must reclaim what was lost!"The comments overwhelmingly favored Jameson.Tonight, he brought his seriously ill mother in front of everyone, all to gain this wave of sympathy and build his reputation in society.

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
