Amber's heart pounded against her ribcage as her organs contorted in fear. Despite the panic, she did not betray a hint of emotion. She owed her exceptional mental fortitude to the training administered by Jameson, which she now employed against him.

In her silence, he grinned maliciously and advanced slowly toward her. All of a sudden, he produced a gun from his waist and pressed the muzzle against her sweaty forehead.

"M-Mr. Schmidt!" Carl turned pale at the sight as his heart leaped into his throat.

"Amber Altman, were you the traitor? Answer me," he confronted her word-by-word with a murderous look in his eyes.

She stared into his eyes but remained silent.

"Answer me!" he roared, the veins in his hands bulging in anger.

"Yes," Amber admitted, knowing there was no escape. The moment Jameson aimed the gun, he had known about her betrayal. This was no interrogation.

Driven by his ruthless nature, he wanted the woman—whom he had raised and molded into Alyssa's doppelgänger—to be

    In the next moment, Jameson wrapped the arm holding the gun around her waist and pulled her closer until their bodies pressed. "Good job. Not only do I not blame you, I need to praise you. You revealing the information to Angelina messed up her plans, forcing her into solo action. She fell into Preston Harper's trap and lost her life because of it."Her death put Landon Harper into agony. His hair greyed overnight."She remained stoic. Every word coming from his mouth ripped a piece of her heart out, the bloody and shameful mess scattering across the ground."Keep up with your plan and go big. I know you won't disappoint me." He released her and examined her figure. "Axel Whitaker's clothes look good on you. Remember to wear the same windbreaker at his funeral."…When Amber returned to her bedroom, the shades of sunset illuminated her lifeless face.Stumbling to the full-length mirror, she slowly removed the black windbreaker. Fully naked, she revealed the shameful marks on her

    The two of them sat in silence, feeling helpless as if they had been stranded on a deserted island during a storm."I have something that might or might not be of help to you." A thought occurred to Wesley. Wesley began, his voice barely above a whisper. "Aidan Lovelace of Lovelace Pharmaceuticals met with Jameson Schmidt two nights ago and had a private chat in a lounge."The revelation introduced a frown to Amber's face.Wesley recounted, "That guy showed up like he was ready to take down anyone, but he seemed calmer after the talk. I was stationed outside the lounge with another colleague but couldn't hear anything because of the excellent soundproofing." He let out a frustrated sigh.Still, the information provided Amber with a lead. Lovelace Pharmaceuticals was the top pharmaceutical company in the nation. From what she heard, Jameson had been running the pharmaceutical business on Sir's behalf in Cyrris. Therefore, Jameson's priority must be to beat the Lovelaces, his busines

    Upon Alyssa's request, Julien ran tests on the drug from Justin right after he returned. The results were beyond his expectations. To his surprise, the drug was exceptionally effective. Other than the side effect of making patients drowsy, it would not negatively affect the body. Alyssa studied the data on the lab report in the guest room. She had a conflicted look on her face. "What is this drug called?" "I have no idea." Julien shook his head. Alyssa was dumbfounded. "I don't know what this drug is called. However, its components are essentially the same as the components of the medication that RC Biotechnology Research Institute in Mosgravia developed to target Alzheimer's a year ago. "That being said, that drug was only revealed to the public via a series of announcements. It has not yet been officially put on the market. I'm not sure if this is the same drug." Julien let out a long sigh. "Fortunately, there isn't much problem with this drug. It should be helpful fo

    Justin's honesty took Alyssa by surprise. Initially, what she thought was that if Justin denied the fact that the drug was from RC, it would mean that he had something to hide about all this. The likelihood of him being suspicious or there being something wrong with the drug that RC developed would be high. Even if the problem weren't with the drug that Lauren took, it would be enough to show that there was something fishy going on. However, she really had no idea what to say right now. "To be exact, I have dealings with RC and various pharmaceutical research companies in Mosgravia." Justin coughed softly. He let out a helpless smile. "All these years, my broken body has been a testing ground. I have taken countless types of medications. I would have given them a shot as long as they could improve my health."It's also exactly because of this that I came to know RC better. I also got a better understanding of the drugs that they are developing." "There have been many advan

    The look on Alyssa's face suddenly turned dark. "Justin, whether or not I can or want to conceive, these are all my personal matters. These are not for you to worry about." "As Jasper's brother, I am one of the people who understand him. I know that he loves children. The way he cared for young Lauren when he was young already showed what a fatherly figure he was. Even if he doesn't say it, I'm certain he would love to start a family with you." Alyssa felt suffocated as a sharp pain shot through her heart. "I might have overstepped. But I am only wishing the both of you all the happiness in the world in everything I do."Justin's tone was serious and warm. "If you accept the treatment willingly and become well, Jasper will be happy, and you will not have any regrets. Don't you think so? I will arrange everything after I get back. You may come over for the treatment any time." Upon saying that, he turned around and headed outside. "I will not go." Without any hesitation, Al

    Landon's pupils constricted. All of a sudden, his vision started to blur. "She's dead?" "Yes. She died a horrific death. They almost couldn't identify her when her body was discovered." Jordan knitted his brows together tightly. Then, he continued in a low voice, "When the authorities performed an autopsy on her, they discovered that she had been sexually assaulted. She had severe STDs festering in her lower body." Landon shut his reddened eyes. He tightened his grip on the water basin, and his hands trembled slightly. "Who was she assaulted by?" "Many." Jordan hesitated before continuing, "Not long after arriving at Tsulu, Zoe was sent to an underground club. That place is actually a high-end brothel. The women there provide sex services specifically to the big shots at Tsulu. "I heard that all the women there end up in the same way. They would all be completely fucked up. Even if Zoe wasn't murdered, that's just how things would have ended up for her." Landon lowered hi

    Newton clicked his tongue. "Look at Javier. He's such a blabbermouth. He can't even keep his thoughts to himself." Newton decided to be frank with Landon. He grinned, "Truth be told, Landon, Javier and I are here to officially propose your marriage to Lauren." "Grandpa Newton…"Landon's breathing became heavier as he became overly emotional. He stuttered, "Grandpa Newton… I…"All of a sudden, he burst into tears. Tears of joy streamed down his face like a waterfall. Lauren mustered up all her strength to give Landon a tight hug with her frail body. She lifted her reddened face to look at him as drops of his tears fell onto her face. Although she could not speak, her gaze was full of tenderness and happiness. The look in her eyes gave him great comfort. "You don't have to say anything, Lauren. I get you." Tears welled up in Newton's eyes. He put Lauren's and Landon's hands together. "I am getting old, and so will Javier. You are the only one who can journey with Lauren til

    Alyssa burst out laughing. "I can tell that you've really been trying to curb your urges, Mr. Landon. Jasper is just brushing my hair. I can't believe that your mind wandered elsewhere." Alyssa stroked her soft hair, which Jasper had helped with maintaining. "Landon, you don't have to rush the wedding. Just have your marriage with Lauren registered first. It's more important to make the relationship between the both of you as husband and wife official." Upon hearing that, Jasper was suddenly filled with regret. He observed the expression on Alyssa's face. Fortunately, she wasn't bothered at all. With a smile on her face, she was engaging in her skincare routine. Her face looked moist, drawing him closer and closer."Don't worry. I will definitely be getting that marriage certificate." Landon's voice was full of affection. "In the future, Lauren will be the wife of Harper Group's chairman." "In the future, Javier will be your father-in-law. You will be able to strut throughou

    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.

    "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
