"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. It was a stepping stone for him to become the most influential public figure within Schmidt Group.

Alyssa lowered her gaze, her fingertips skimming over her phone screen as she quickly scanned the comments.

    Following that, Jameson's cold voice rang out, "It's been over ten years. What evidence do you have to prove that my mom's affair with that so-called lover was part of Josh's scheme?""Because... I was the one who made the call to lure your mom out."Daisy's voice trembled violently, unsure if it was due to her resentment toward her biological brother or her fear of Jameson."David was also there when I made the call. Unfortunately, he's gone forever. You lost a witness. But it doesn't matter. I still have an ace up my sleeve."I captured the scene where your mom was taken by Josh's men and brought into the room by the bodyguard while she was disoriented. It's in my old phone at the bottom of my drawer. You can turn it on as long as there's a charger."Daisy pleaded, "Jimmy, go after the person responsible. I was so young back then. I was just a victim of Josh's manipulation. Seek revenge on him. I swear everything I said is true. If there's anything false, I'll never rest in peac

    Josh staggered backward as Cyrus appeared, fear gripping him to his core. Then, four plainclothes policemen filed in behind Cyrus, forming a wall.Jameson's heart sank at the sight of the policemen barging in. He glanced gloomily at Jasper, who remained as composed as a cat.Jasper met his despondent gaze, his dark, cold eyes narrowing.It felt as though two arrowheads, forged from opposing forces of ice and fire, collided explosively. Jameson was ready to put on a good show.He might have planned a controlled burn, but with Jasper around, things were bound to erupt into a full-blown wildfire.Lauren's eyes sparkled at the sight of Cyrus, whom she hadn't seen in a long while. She instinctively raised her hand to greet him. "Cy…"But then, she felt a weight on her shoulder. Slowly lifting her gaze, she met Landon's cold expression. Her heart tightened as she withdrew her hand, too afraid to glance in Cyrus' direction."W-What's happening?" Josh panicked, his legs trembling.

    Josh's head began to spin as he observed Clarissa exchanging glances with Alyssa. He roared in a fury, "You bitch! How dare you conspire with someone else to frame me! I will never let you go!"Clarissa's gaze met Josh's unflinchingly. A subtle smirk tugged at her crimson lips, a stark contrast to the lone tear clinging to her lashes. What happened next left the crowd in disbelief. Without hesitation, she took off her dark green evening dress, revealing her body marked with bruises and scars for all to witness. "Clarissa…" Alyssa gasped, stunned by Clarissa's resolute actions. She felt a shiver run down her spine. Beneath her thin white silk nightgown, ugly scars marred her limbs, a chilling sight for all."Josh, I've endured your abuse for years. You've never given me a moment of peace."Clarissa's smile was tinged with malice, her eyes blazing with hatred enough to consume him. "You strike me when you're displeased or frustrated. There were instances when you demanded I us

    Clarissa was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she found herself at a loss for words. "You… have given me a second chance at life.""You're too kind, Ms. Sparks," replied Jasper with a gentle smile. "You are the one who redeemed yourself."Alyssa then asked, "Oh, yes. What did you want to say earlier, Ms. Sparks?""Josh will never get out of prison." Clarissa handed her a USB flash drive, her eyes reddened with emotion. "There is a recording of a phone conversation Josh had with someone, which I secretly recorded that night. "Last week, he slept with a girl on a cruise ship. In a bid of excitement, he injected the girl with drugs, resulting in her death."Afterward, he engaged the person on the phone to dispose of the girl's body. I waited until he was asleep and then checked his phone to record the person's number. "Before disclosing our findings, we can initiate a police investigation. I trust we will soon apprehend the accomplice responsible for disposing of the body."Th

    Jameson choked back bitterness. His voice, strained to the point of hoarseness, threatened to give out. With unparalleled seriousness, he uttered, "Do you have any idea how much effort I've poured into this day just to witness justice finally served upon Josh? "Even if you're avenging Jonah, couldn't you have waited until after tonight? Why expose everything at the party?"Alyssa met his accusation with a cold, indifferent stare."My mother... endured immense humiliation. I remained silent for 15 years, all to ensure she received the justice she deserved. I wanted Josh to grovel at her feet and apologize to her!"Jameson's pale lips quivered. "Lyse… I was on the verge of success. Why deny me that chance? Why?""Mr. Schmidt, your mother's situation is heartbreaking, but I won't halt my revenge for you." Alyssa's gaze was glacial. "Perhaps you had a personal motive for keeping that bastard alive—to handle him later and protect the Schmidt Group's interests. "However, I refuse to

    Jameson cracked his knuckles as he instructed through clenched teeth, "Head back to the Millennium!"…A storm cloud hung over Jameson's face as he entered the Millennium. Anyone could see his simmering rage."Carl," Jameson barked, his voice laced with ice, "get Amber down here. Now."Carl scurried to obey, his heart hammering in his chest.After more than ten minutes, Amber appeared in the basement, where the incompetent and traitorous were often dealt with. A metallic tang of blood hung heavy in the air as the door creaked open."Mr. Schmidt." Amber bowed deeply. Despite her outward composure, her heart was beating wildly. Jameson lounged on a maroon couch in the dim, oppressive light, swirling a glass of crimson wine. He then drank the wine to wet his throat. "Josh has been charged with corruption, bribery, and sexual assault. He was apprehended by the police at the party organized by the Schmidt Group. Are you aware of this?"Amber attempted to mask her fear as she re

    It wasn't me… Mr. Schmidt… I wouldn't…" Amber's voice trembled as she struggled to articulate each word. Her eyes held a shaky semblance of innocence as if she were being wrongfully accused.No one understood the consequences of betraying Jameson better than her. She didn't fear death itself. On the contrary, she dreaded dying for no good reason at all. Thus, she fought to defend herself. "Mr. Schmidt, what would I gain from betraying you? Only Mr. Moses and I are privy to this information. Wouldn't you discover the truth swiftly if I had acted against you? Why would I be foolish enough to wish for my own demise?"Besides, I'm practically under constant surveillance here. How could I have possibly contacted Ms. Alyssa or Mr. Beckett? How could I betray you?"Her words chipped away at Jameson's rage. She'd hit the right point. Seeing a chance to salvage the situation, Amber continued, "Mr. Schmidt, you gave me this life. Without you, I have nothing. In the past, I've even tried t

    Amber stared fixedly at Axel, having no choice but to force a polite smile under the glare of countless surveillance cameras. But her stiff expression failed to convince both herself and Axel.Meanwhile, Jameson sat in the security room, watching Amber and Axel's every move. There were high-end cameras and microphones installed in the room that could even pick up the sounds of their breathing."I didn't expect to see you here, Ms. Altman." Axel cocked an eyebrow. "I've truly missed you since we last met. I couldn't stop thinking about when we'd meet again. Who knew that would be tonight?""I never expected to meet you here too, Mr. Whitaker." Amber smiled stiffly.Amber knew Axel only said those things because they were under surveillance. But her heart still nervously trembled when Axel said he'd missed her.Since both Amber and Axel were very experienced in such situations, Jameson didn't notice anything off about them whatsoever."It seems like we are fated to meet."

    "Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her." Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?" "There wasn't one." Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze."You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face."Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!" Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away. Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face. She was teetering on the edge of madness."Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"…Jasper drove to

    Jasper strode out of the room and hurried down the stairs, his pace so brisk that Xavier had to jog to keep up. As Jasper reached the living room, he spotted Justin sitting upright in his wheelchair, alone. Their eyes locked when Jasper was just a few steps away.Hostility flickered between their gazes.Curling his lips upward into a slight smile, Justin asked, "Jasper, heading out at this hour?"Xavier gritted his teeth, loathing the self-righteous air Justin exuded, as if he always held the upper hand. The sight made him want to charge forward and knock Justin clean off his wheelchair."It's late. Why aren't you in bed?" Jasper asked coldly, his tone as sharp as his glare. "It seems that broken body of yours is still holding up.""Jasper, you seem to be in a rush. Did something happen? Do you need my help?" Justin maintained the smile on his face, disregarding Jasper's sarcastic remark. "It's none of your business."Without another word, Jasper swept past him. Justin's

    Jasper lay restrained on the bed, his body writhing violently as waves of agony crashed over him. A towel clenched between his teeth muffled his cries, though it could not silence the torment. Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of invisible ants—a relentless, gnawing pain brought on by withdrawal.He knew he could no longer rely on the medication. Time and again, the temptation clawed at him, urging him to surrender and take the easy way out. Relief was just a pill away. But Jasper's willpower, though battered, refused to shatter. Anne's words echoed in his mind, a guiding light in the darkness. She had always taught him to be a righteous man—one with a clear conscience. Curling into himself, Jasper shut his bloodshot eyes. He couldn't disappoint Anne. He couldn't let down those who believed in him. He had to resist the dark side. Outside the room, Xavier glanced at his wristwatch. Judging the timing to be right, he pushed the door open and l

    "How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush.

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

    Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa.
