"Ow!" The force was enough to bruise Alyssa's back. "What the hell is wrong with you, Jasper?"Jasper was fuming with rage. His grip tightened around her wrists. It was as if he was scared she might run from him. Their eyes met."You've lied again and again to me, Alice White. Who wouldn't be upset?" he roared, voice raspy."When have I ever lied to you?" Alyssa demanded, struggling against the man's grip. "The only reason you know nothing about me is because you never cared! "Three years, Jasper Beckett. I would have told you everything you wanted to know if only you had asked. But have you ever cared to ask me? Did you ever care about me?"Jasper's heart skipped several beats, pounding hard in his chest."Do you know what I like having for breakfast? What do I enjoy doing on the weekends? What kind of music do I like? I was your wife, and I gave you my all. I paid attention to everything you did, what you loved and hated. But what about you?"Isn't it hilarious how you're acc

"Mr. Javier had hired a classical opera singer for sir, as something special for his birthday, but her student came to me just now reporting that the singer suddenly caught a terrible bug. She's still in the bathroom, unable to perform," Ben said worriedly. He continued, "What can be done? The singer was hired just to perform for Mr. Beckett Senior. He's going to be disappointed. The guests will make a fool of us.""Not on my watch." Alyssa assumed a confident stance. "Don't worry, Mr. Gorham. By the time the night is over, the guests will be leaving in awe."Jasper's heart skipped a beat at that. They weren't technically husband and wife anymore, yet she was still standing up for his family in their times of need to ensure his grandfather had a memorable birthday."Do you have a plan, Ms. White?" Ben smiled."Could you show me the way to the stage, Mr. Gorham?" Alyssa said, then left with Ben while Jasper stood there, still in awe.He blinked slowly, clenching his hands into

Alyssa stood on stage, her face delicately painted with peacock blue and purple. Her bright eyes met Jasper's, sending another jolt into his heart.When she began singing, her voice thoroughly enchanted him."The sweet sound! His voice struck me! Ah, that voice, which has descended into my heart!"Jasper stared at her in shock. The two seemed so close yet so far, one a young, promising woman, one a rich family's heir. One smile from her was enough to rock his entire world."Is that … Is that really Alice?" Newton asked, shocked. "It really is! Look at her features, her delicate cheeks, her beautiful smile. That's … That really is her!"Jasper suddenly fell back into his seat. Delicate cheeks … beautiful smile …His temple began to throb painfully."Jasper? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Landon asked, seeing how his friend's face looked pale."I'm … fine," Jasper grunted, massaging his temples as he sank into his thoughts.Why was Alyssa's name suddenly so familiar? Where had

Betty asked, "What plan do you have in mind?"Liana glanced around the surroundings, making sure there was no one else nor any security cameras before pulling out a vial from her purse."What's that?" Betty asked.Liana grinned with evil glee. "Something that, once consumed, will unleash irresistible impulses in every individual. It's particularly effective for cheap whores like Alice White.""What?" Betty shrieked but was quickly silenced with a hand on her mouth."Shh! Be quiet!" "Y-You wanna drug Alice? During tonight's celebration?"Liana whispered deviously, "If we can get Alice to sleep with Jonah tonight right when the celebration is going on, imagine the impact on her!"Then, Alice's carefully built reputation would crumble apart in front of the masses, angering and disgusting both Jasper and her grandfather. Even the Taylor family wouldn't want anything to do with her anymore."Plus, you hate how close she is with Mr. Harper, don't you? Do you think he would still wa

Jonah recovered from his shock and got up from his seat. "Dad, what are you doing here?"He shot a worried look at the stage, where Alyssa was."What? Why can't I be here? Hey, you never even let me know you were coming. We would've made such the entrance earlier," Winston scowled, then shot Newton a hearty smile. "Long time no see, old man. Your youth has not left you, I see!""My goodness, what an honor to have you here!" Newton hurriedly stood up to shake hands with Winston.Javier and the rest of Newton's family hurriedly stood up to greet Winston.Jasper, on the other hand, had narrowed his eyes. He didn't recall seeing Winston and Jonah Taylor's names on the guest list earlier tonight. It didn't seem like Newton had known they were coming over either.That could only mean Javier had personally invited the man.But why?"I apologize for being late. We just got off the plane. Come, let me drink to your health!" Winston raised a glass of wine.Jasper couldn't help but be

Jasper peered at the stage, but Alyssa had long left. He could only frown, brows knit together in focus.…The wait staff were busying about in the kitchen when a simply-clad maid slipped into the room. Betty had gotten through to her, so she was prepared to do her dirty work for her.She kept away from the cameras and took out the vials Betty had given her before adding them to two champagne glasses. She then topped it off with champagne."One for Mr. Jonah Taylor and the other for Mr. Landon Harper. Do you understand? You have to make sure he drinks it."That was the instruction Betty had given her.This would be the maid's golden ticket to being rich. She was determined not to mess up.Right after she finished topping the drinks, the urge to go to the restroom hit her like a pillow to the face. She quickly ran off, leaving the glasses unattended.Just then, a woman in a white cotton dress snuck into the kitchen. She was the Beckett family's fourth child, Lauren Beckett.Her

Liana felt indignant when she heard Jasper say the word "forced."That was the first time Liana took the initiative to kiss him first. How could he see it as being forced?"But Jasper, I'm your fiancée! How could you? How could you say that of me?" Liana's eyes reddened with tears."You knew from the start that I never liked women who made the first move, nor can I tolerate intimate acts." Jasper's tone was icy.Liana muttered, "I know … I've always known …" Liana knew that due to his upbringing and childhood trauma, he always had a hard time being intimate with the opposite sex. Being able to communicate his emotions was already a big improvement for him.He was such a fine man. If it hadn't been Alyssa who took him away from her, it would have been some other woman.Jasper's hand curled into a fist, recalling Alice's cold gaze from afar. "You say you've always known, but you seem to have wilfully forgotten about it since we started dating again." What was this emotion he wa

Alyssa stood in the empty guest room, and no sound was heard. She fumbled for the light switch, calling, "Jonah! Jonah, are you there?"A low voice came from the bedroom, too low for her to hear.She quickly went into the bedroom, calling, "Jonah? Are you okay?!""Al-Alyssa, stay away!" Jonah yelled, his breath coming in harsh pants."What's wrong, Jonah? You're scaring me!" Alyssa went and opened the bedroom door.It was dark inside, but she could still see Jonah leaning against the foot of the bed. He looked like he had just taken a dive in the lake. He was soaked with moisture.He had taken off his suit, leaving only his white dress shirt sticking against his skin, the buttons open to reveal his flushed red skin."Jonah—""I've been … I've been drugged." Jonah closed his eyes, trying to stay conscious. "I tried a cold bath, but it … it didn't work. The drug's too strong!""How could this happen?" Alyssa cried, angry and panicked at the same time.She was masterfully skille
