Despite Landon's objections, Jasper brought an unconscious Lauren back to Crescent Bay. The major incident had caused an uproar. Newton's first reaction wasn't to grumble about Lauren embarrassing the Becketts. All he thought of was to bring his granddaughter back to his side to love and protect her. All he wanted was to shield her from the gossip coming from the outside world. As Lauren had experienced a massive shock, she was injected with another shot of sedative. With tears in his eyes, Newton watched as she slept soundly. Lauren looked as if nothing had even happened. "Lauren… I'm the useless one. I wasn't able to protect you." Newton choked as he reached out with his trembling hands to caress Lauren's cheeks. He was filled with regret. "Don't worry, Grandpa." Alyssa's eyes were red and moist. "Lauren isn't just loved by you, but also by Jasper and I. Jasper and I will get to the bottom of this." She clasped her hands together tightly and cracked her knuckles loudl

"I don't need that bastard to make a sound! I will not allow Lauren to marry into that hellhole!" In an angry voice, Newton instructed Ben, "Ben… Make it known that the Beckett Group will not have any business relations with the Harper Group moving forward! "If I find out that any of our business partners have any association with Harper Group, we will not partner with them anymore! We shall see if there's anyone else who still doesn't understand our stance!" Ben nodded seriously. "On it, Mr. Newton!" "Grandpa." Jasper frowned. He walked to Alyssa's side with an air of frigidity around him. "Landon is here. He's right outside. He wants to see you and Lauren." "Tell him to scram!" Newton waved. Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other helplessly. They were aware that Newton didn't actually hate Landon. However, it was true that he hadn't protected her properly. It was also a fact that he was Cornelius' grandson. Undeniably, he would feel some resentment. "I'm afraid that he

"Lyse!" Jasper became alarmed. Landon was such a tall man. At this moment, his body was leaning forward feebly as Alyssa yanked at him. It was as if he had no backbone and was going to break into pieces at any moment."Landon… You didn't give Lauren any freedom. You said that that was to protect her… And, what was the end result? You ended up ruining everything anyway! You didn't even manage to ensure her basic physical safety!" Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes. She was furious and saddened at the same time. "You think that you are a great man who's willing to sacrifice your all for Lauren. But have you lost anything at all? All these while, Lauren was the only one who kept giving!" Jasper held his breath. He saw that Alyssa was standing in the rain, so he decided to give up on the umbrella and join her. One was the love of his life. The other was his brother from another mother. He couldn't bring himself to take a side, so he decided that it was best for him to remain neutr

"You should first get past Grandpa Newton." Upon saying that, Alyssa left without turning back. Jasper kept Landon company in the rain. Their erect figures looked like timeless and flawless sculptures. "You should go back and handle the matters in your family. Let Lauren stay here with Grandpa for a while. You can come over again once Grandpa has simmered down a little." Jasper exhaled heavily. He gave Landon a pat on his stiff shoulder. Landon's voice was extremely hoarse. "Tonight… I will stay here to keep her company." "You've got to be kidding me! The temperature is almost going below zero. You'll surely fall sick if you stand here all night!" Jasper's expression became grim. "Lauren will feel even more terrible if she finds out that you're being like this!" "Then… just don't let her find out." Landon forced a bitter smile with his pale lips. "Jasper, this is the only way that I can make myself feel better. Please don't stop me." …Alyssa knitted her brows tig

Jasper and Alyssa looked at one another in shock. Alyssa probed, "What did that man look like? Do you still remember his face?" "Of course I do." Angelina frowned. "He's… very good-looking." Jasper and Alyssa were speechless. They never expected Angelina to utter those words. "I'm not kidding. He's genuinely quite good-looking. His face is the type that leaves a lasting impression with just one glance.""Were there any other attributes he had?" Alyssa pressed on as she was unsatisfied with the answer. "He looked a bit familiar. I keep getting the nagging feeling that I've seen him somewhere…"Angelina knocked on her head with her fist, attempting to jog her memory. Immediately, Alyssa rushed forward and grabbed Angelina by her wrist. She said to her soothingly, "It's alright. It's okay. It's alright if you can't recall the details. Don't hurt yourself." Angelina locked eyes with Alyssa. Suddenly, her face lit up. "I remember now. He looked… somewhat like Mr. Cyrus!"

Betty covered her mouth, utterly shaken. Despite being promiscuous herself, she would at least make sure to maintain her modesty in public. Meanwhile, Zoe displayed no shame whatsoever. Not only was she openly enjoying herself with a man before her, but the sheer ecstasy on her face bordered on smugness! How could a bitch like Zoe even dare to entertain thoughts of marrying Jasper and becoming the wife of Beckett Group's president? She was far from qualified! Freddy was someone from a notable family. As such, he retained a sense of decorum despite his burning lust. The realization that they were being observed dampened his ardor. "Zoe, I can't…"Zoe harrumphed. "Useless piece of shit!" In disdain, Zoe shoved Freddy into the water. She emerged from the water completely naked and retrieved a towel from a nearby chair. Then, she wrapped it around herself, covering only the essential parts, leaving little to the imagination. Freddy was panicking in the water. As Zoe's ultimate

Amidst her mental distress, Lauren had also been injected with a high dose of sedative. Hence, she still hadn't stirred when morning came. Meanwhile, Landon stood resolutely in the freezing courtyard like a lone sentinel. His entire body had gone numb from the freezing cold. Though his face had paled considerably, he dared not budge. He was close to his limit, yet the hope of Lauren seeing him upon waking kept him rooted to the spot.Why this cruel twist of fate? Once inseparable, they were now denied even a glimpse of each other. Lost in thought, Landon was startled by the sound of approaching footsteps—hurried yet firm. "I'll take you home, Landon," Jasper's voice was low and strained, filled with frustration and deep concern for his friend. "You're being absurd! There's no point in you torturing yourself like this!" Landon groaned as he lowered his frigid gaze. His face was so stiff he could barely form an expression. "You once waited outside Heightsnew Villa to beg for

"Got it," Jasper muttered, ending the call. His expression was so grim it seemed like a storm cloud loomed over him. "This timing is suspicious! Betty sneaks out to meet Zoe in the middle of the night? It practically screams conspiracy. They're clearly in cahoots over the leaked report." Landon's eyes widened with anger. He clenched his fists, slamming them onto the bed with such force it felt like he might break it."I fear your sister, Zoe, has allied with Preston in secret. She may have also informed Mr. Harper Senior privately. Otherwise, their plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly. They've likely been planning this for some time." A memory flickered in Landon's mind. It was the night he delivered the engagement invitation to Cornelius and bumped into Zoe bringing him chicken soup. She had never been so caring before. In hindsight, her sudden kindness was obviously a calculated move. "She's not my sister!" Landon repeated, his eyes ablaze with hatred. With each repetition, he

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise.

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli
