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

Newton's suggestion had Javier's and Sophia's faces falling flat on the table. Betty, on the other hand, nearly spat out her drink."Don't joke about these things, Grandpa!" Jasper said sternly.Winston was just as stunned as everyone else."You have three daughters, if I remember correctly?" Newton asked, to which Winston nodded."Yes, three. I have a total of nine children. They're enough for me for a lifetime now.""Ah, and are those three married yet?" Winston replied awkwardly, "My sixth child, Miley, has already married. She's currently overseas. My youngest, Tatiana, is still in school. I don't want her to marry just yet. Let her enjoy her youth and whatnot.""What about your third girl, the one you dote on? What was her name again? Al-something?"Winston's gaze turned gentle at the thought of his favorite daughter. "That's my eighth child, Alyssa."Jasper felt something like thunder hit him. His grip on his wineglass nearly slipped."Right! Alyssa! I remember seeing

Newton grew worried upon hearing Liana's words. "Why? What has happened to Alice?"Even Jasper's heart skipped anxiously.Sophia urged, "Just tell us, Lia. No one else is listening besides us.""Um … When I was taking a stroll earlier, I saw Alice and Mr. Taylor enter the same room. It looked like Mr. Taylor had too much to drink. Maybe Alice had gone to look after him?" Liana said innocently. She added, "I was worried at first, but since the two are officially dating, it's not an issue for them to stay alone together, right?"Jasper's hands balled into fists while Winston stood up from his seat. "Who is this woman you speak of?""Uh …" Liana said nervously, glancing at Jasper for salvation. Jasper felt all the blood rush to his head. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he turned and stormed off the venue. Meanwhile, Liana smiled to herself, gleeful that her plan was working. Alice's reputation would be kicked to the dust for good this time, and Jasper would finally see what a

But Jasper wasn't giving up that easily. He grabbed hold of her arm, stopping her from taking another step. His eyes were nearly bloodshot by now. "Did he touch you, Alice? Answer me!""Someone drugged Jonah!" Alyssa growled out, glaring at him."What?" Jasper gaped in shock."I managed to suppress the effects, but I can't do much else to deal with this fucked up cocktail of drugs, so I'm getting him to the hospital right now!" Alyssa flung Jasper's hand away, yelling, "I don't have time to deal with this nonsense right now, Jasper Beckett, but mark my words. If something happens to Jonah because of this, I'll make sure you and your family pay!"Her words were like blades that lodged themselves in Jasper's heart. It felt like someone had carved a hole into his very being. His cheeks were warm and flushed as if she had just slapped him in the face.Jasper never expected Alyssa to be so hostile toward him all for another man, nor had he ever seen such a ferocious, determined gaze.

Alyssa's voice was unbelievably soft. Still, it didn't fail to strike everyone present like a lightning bolt to the head.Newton's and Javier's jaws both fell to the ground. Liana felt a chill surge through her spine, spreading through her limbs. Her face had turned pale white, alongside Betty's and Sophia's.Who would have thought that Jasper's unwanted bride, whom everyone had treated like a lowly maid, was the daughter of Belbanks' most powerful family?Betty nudged her mother weakly. "Mom … Mom, is this real? Is this bitch—""Shut up!" Sophia screeched, pushing her daughter's hand away.Jasper was frozen in place, every emotion under the sun filling his chest up like a balloon. Confusion, shock, and awe flashed through his being every other second. It felt like he might drown under the weight of everything.How could his wife of three years, who had sacrificed herself taking care of his grandfather and tended to everything, be Winston Taylor's most beloved daughter, Alyssa

Newton's face was bone white as he quivered just the slightest. "What is this, Alice? What is going on?"He found it hard to change the way he addressed her."How is this possible?" Javier's ego couldn't handle the shame such news would bring if it were leaked to the public, nor could he stomach these claims. Javier said, "We have the state's best security here. They would have found the culprit by now! Everyone on the guestlist tonight are close friends and family. No one would dare to do this! There must be some misunderstanding. Maybe Jonah got food poisoning, or—""You can choose not to believe me, but the truth will come out eventually. Our doctors are very efficient at what they do, so the results should come out very soon," Alyssa said firmly, her gaze a cold, gleaming blade. She continued, "You said it yourself—you have the best security guarding this house tonight, with only family and friends attending the celebration. That means the culprit is most likely among you."

The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

"Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

"Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
