Javier continued, "Betty is indeed at fault in this matter, but isn't the main responsibility on the Harpers?"

He was quite good at sophistry as he attempted to regain control of the narrative. "Who knows, maybe it was Zoe who instigated, tempted, or even threatened Betty into doing what she did.

"Even if not, ultimately, it was the Harpers who publicized Lauren's condition! Jasper, instead of confronting the Harpers, are you now turning against your own family? How can you do this?"

Betty immediately began to weep, mimicking the pitiful demeanor of her late mother.

"In any case, sending her abroad should settle this matter. I don't want any more turmoil in the family." Javier's tone was resolute, leaving no room for disagreement.

Jasper's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth to suppress his anger.

He was not a reckless man. He knew that further confrontation would only fuel Javier's competitive spirit, causing him to defend Betty even more.

    After what had happened, it was absolutely impossible for Betty to stay in Solana City any longer.However, Jasper was still wearing a frown.He called Landon as soon as he left Seaview Manor, but there was no answer.This situation was rare in their nearly 20 years of friendship, so it made him feel uneasy.That evening, Alyssa brought out the teddy bear cake that Cyrus had sent to share with Lauren.In the warmly lit room, Alyssa brought the cake to Lauren. Her eyes were filled with affection as she said, "Lauren, try this cake. It arrived in the morning, and I've been craving it but couldn't bear to eat it. I've been waiting to share it with you."Lauren's slender body leaned against the head of the bed. Her fair and tender face appeared pale and gaunt. It was a heartbreaking sight. "Alyssa, eat if you want to. You don't have to wait for me."Alyssa blinked. "No way. This was bought for you.""Who bought it for me?"Alyssa hesitated slightly.Sensing that hesitation, Lau

    "Lauren, look at me." Alyssa firmly grasped Lauren's slender shoulders and stared into her dim eyes. "Are you really going to do this? Are you willing to part with him?"Don't do something you'll regret. Once you lose some people, you may never find someone like them again.""Alyssa, I've thought this through. It's not a rash decision."Smiling contentedly, Lauren slowly closed her eyes. "Separating is the best outcome for Landon and me. Having been together and sharing unforgettable memories is already enough for me."I love the lively Landon from before, so I want him to return to being himself. Being with me would only hold him back and burden him."Alyssa's heart wrenched as if it were being crushed.…When Alyssa returned to her room with tears, Jasper was already waiting for her."Lyse, why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"He hurried over and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. After pulling Alyssa into his embrace, he said tenderly, "Who upset you? I'll help y

    Jasper's face remained indifferent, but Alyssa's eyes widened. She even shouted in excitement, "Deaf?""Yes! It's real. I've already gotten the diagnosis report. I'll send it to you right now. Betty is still in the hospital. I heard she's completely deaf in her left ear, with hearing loss in her right ear. She's already using a hearing aid."Xavier's ecstatic voice echoed in the room. "Mr. Beckett, you're incredible! That wasn't just a slap. That was one hell of a slap!""Don't exaggerate it, Xavier," Jasper reprimanded with a frown.Alyssa burst into laughter, clapping her hands joyfully until they turned red. "Haha! That's great! It's perfect karma! Who asked her to mock Lauren all the time? I want to see how arrogant she'll be now."When she met Jasper's unwavering gaze, her smile froze, replaced by a blush spreading across her cheeks. "Um, am I too—"Before she could finish her sentence, Jasper seized her in a fierce, aggressive kiss, swallowing her words.He held her closel

    Javier's tight security was clearly a silent competition with Jasper. They were more like archenemies than father and son."What do you want to do, Lyse?" Jasper asked softly."I want to draw Betty's blood for DNA testing."Both Jasper and Xavier were taken aback."Betty's malice seems like a genetic mutation in your family. I'm curious to see if she truly belongs in your family."Recently, Alyssa had become increasingly suspicious. When she compared photos of Javier and Betty, she saw no resemblance between them. Lauren's features at least shared some similarities with Javier.What was more perplexing was that Betty didn't even resemble Sophia. This didn't make sense."It doesn't matter if we can't get close to her right now," Alyssa said with a cold smile."She'll have to go to the hospital for a checkup sooner or later. When she's abroad, obtaining a blood sample from her will be easy.""Lyse, you seem very confident." Jasper sensed from her cunning and sly gaze that things

    "If Grandpa hadn't revealed it in a fit of anger, I wouldn't have known that Grandma was deaf in her left ear."Feeling guilty, Jasper chuckled bitterly. "Isn't it ridiculous? As the grandson of this family, I spent the most time with Grandpa and Grandma, yet I never noticed her abnormality. What kind of grandson am I?""I knew about that. Grandpa told me about it during that Christmas when I went to visit Grandma with him..."Alyssa stopped abruptly when she inadvertently mentioned Christmas. She dared not continue.It would be Christmas in less than two months.The Taylors loved festivities. Every year, they would set up a grand and magnificent Christmas tree in the living room. Jonah would personally prepare gifts for all family members and give the helpers in the house bonuses out of his own pocket.But because of the child she lost, Alyssa no longer dared to celebrate Christmas. She wouldn't even return home on Christmas Day.However, that was in the past.Now, she avoided

    Alyssa's and Jasper's expressions turned solemn after listening."If not, it could be that he cleans up the scene thoroughly every time he commits a crime, leaving no trace behind. But that doesn't quite fit the modus operandi of an outlaw or top-tier assassin."Cyrus traced his jawline with his finger as he calmly analyzed the situation. "So, I'm inclined to believe he's a hired assassin from abroad.""If that's the case, it'll be even more difficult to investigate him. Once this job is done, he'll disappear immediately. He'd probably use a false identity to flee the country." Jasper's gaze darkened gradually."Didn't Ms. Angelina see his face? She can come to our station tomorrow and describe his face based on her memory. I can arrange for a top-notch profiler from our city to come and draw a portrait of that assassin."Cyrus' eyes flashed with determination. "Having a sketch might provide more clues. We can't delay too long. People's memories fade, and the likeness of the portr

    "Cyrus." Lauren lifted her pretty face."Lauren, thank you for agreeing to help. I'll wait for you at the station tomorrow. Jasper and Lyse will take you there." Cyrus' heart melted. His hand itched to reach out and gently pat her head.But ultimately, he restrained himself by clenching his hands tightly.Just then, Lauren parted her lips and said, "There's no need for that. I can draw it.""What? You can draw it?" The three of them were shocked."That man left a deep impression on me. I won't forget his face, no matter how much time has passed."Lauren took a deep breath to steady herself. "I'm quite good at drawing portraits. I think instead of describing his features, I can draw him myself for a more accurate representation."…To focus without external distractions, Lauren went upstairs alone to work on her drawing while the other three patiently waited in the living room.After some hesitation, Cyrus finally couldn't help but ask, "Lyse, did Lauren and Mr. Landon break up

    "I'm sure." Lauren nodded firmly.In an unusual departure from his usual composure, Cyrus fixated on the portrait, his usually steady demeanor giving way to a tense stillness, his eyes tinged with red.Concerned, Lauren approached him, noting the uncharacteristic reaction. "Cyrus, are you alright?"Cyrus responded hoarsely, "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom. Where is it?"Jasper raised his hand, indicating the direction. Cyrus immediately left with purposeful strides. "Lyse, do you recognize him?" Jasper hugged Alyssa by the waist and asked with anxious urgency. Alyssa took a deep breath, striving to quell her tumultuous emotions. "He bears a striking resemblance to my late brother, Damien, who perished in a plane crash."Jasper and Lauren widened their eyes in disbelief.Damien's untimely demise had left an enduring wound in the Taylor family's collective heart. Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes as she reflected on the painful memory. "Our family refrained from discussi

    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's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    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. Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks. She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse. With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy. She was counting down the hours until nightfall. After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did. The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table.

    Axel and Amber had only spent half a month together before the former was called back to report for work. The night before his departure, they spent hours lost in each other, their passion unrelenting. Again and again, they exchanged kisses, their love pouring forth in an endless tide."Amber, three months… Just give me three more months." When their fervor finally waned, Axel held Amber close in his arms. They rested against the headboard, leaning into one another, too exhausted to move yet unwilling to let sleep claim them."Once I finish all the missions I've taken on, I'll hand in my resignation. After that, I'll spend all my time with you," Axel murmured, his voice steady with resolve. "We'll go wherever you want. If you want fun, I'll have fun with you. If you want chaos, I'll spend my life going crazy with you."Axel wasn't one for flowery words. He simply spoke from the heart. Right now, his heart only wanted Amber—forever.Amber nestled closer, her soft smile masking t
