Chapter 2003

Author: Ginger Sue
"You—" Amber glared at him in embarrassment. Her eyes were dewy and sparkling.

Axel tilted his head with a roguish smile. He tapped his lips to remind her.

Suddenly, he frowned and spun around. A group of smiling kids had gathered by the backdoor of the classroom to watch the drama unfold. Their cute heads peeked out of the door, one on top of another, which was rather hilarious to see.

They would have made a fuss if they could speak.

"You rascal!" Amber's face reddened. She shoved him away

    "I'll accompany you to the police station tomorrow so you can turn yourself in." Javier drew a deep breath, his voice heavy with finality. "It is a father's failure when his child goes astray. As your father, I fell short. "When you were young, I was too focused on advancing my career. Work consumed me, and I neglected to give you the love and care you needed. I indulged you, and that indulgence led to this mistake. I must bear responsibility too. "So I'll face this with you. You were only a teenager when the crime was committed—a minor. I'll hire the best attorney in the country and do everything I can to secure leniency for you."Eden was the first to erupt. "Mr. Javier, don't you think this is incredibly unfair to Mr. Justin? Do you know how much he's been through to get where he is today? He lived alone in a foreign country. No one cared about him, and his health was never good. "Now that he's finally built something for himself, how can you be so cruel as to take it all awa

    Javier's eyes widened in shock. Though the spacious study was well-heated, a chilling cold spread through his entire body. "Justin… w-what do you mean by that? Did you actually take someone's life? Did you really kill that young woman?" "Shh—"Justin lifted a finger to his lips, a cruel glint flashing in his dark eyes. "She was just an insignificant helper. Nothing worth making a fuss over, is it?"Eden, standing behind him, remained silent. Meanwhile, Rory's face had turned deathly pale. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, soaking through his sleeves and collar. Just how twisted did a person have to be to speak of murder with such indifference?"An insignificant helper? That was a human life!"Javier glared at the man before him, his eyes bloodshot. A massive wave of terror crashed over him. "Why did you kill her? Why?""Because it was fun." Justin tilted his head and gave a careless shrug. "Of course, I was a little nervous the first time I stabbed her. But by the second stri

    Immediately, Eden and Rory pulled out their phones at the same time to check the news. A moment later, their expressions fell in unison. They cried out together, "It's bad news, Mr. Beckett!" "What is it now?" Javier snapped impatiently. With a grim expression, Rory glanced at Justin, studying him intently. Though he wanted to report everything to Javier, Justin's cold, sinister gaze sent a chill down his spine. Under that immense pressure, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Unable to wait any longer, Javier snatched the phone from Rory's hands. The next moment, it felt as though a bomb had gone off in his head, leaving it buzzing. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "What is this? An innocent young woman was stabbed over 20 times and murdered? Someone reported that Justin killed a female helper in our family 20 years ago, and that our entire family covered it up?"They're urging the authorities to investigate this as soon as possible, and they're calling for

    "Justin, what's going on with your Uncle Zachary's death? Why are the police investigating you?" Javier demanded. Dark circles hung beneath his eyes, clear evidence that he hadn't slept at all. Justin crossed his legs nonchalantly, an unperturbed smile spreading across his face. "Dad, I know what you're afraid of. But what's there to fear? No matter how terrifying or perverse Uncle Zachary was, he's already dead." Javier flew into a rage. "Me? Afraid of him? The police are after you because of his death! Cyrus Taylor took you away in front of everyone at yesterday's board meeting. The news has spread across Solana City; it's even trending online!"Beckett Group's share price plunged into the red first thing this morning. Do you even realize how much trouble you've caused the corporation?"Justin merely shrugged. "So what? The contract for Project A5 has already been signed, and the project is underway. Besides, we have government-backed projects supporting us. These fluctuations

    Justin had never been in optimal health to begin with, relying on medication for years just to keep his condition stable. On top of that, he had been detained at the police station for over ten hours. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning by the time he returned to Seaview Manor.Ever since he was a child, he had regarded Javier as a useless father. In fact, deep down, he had never truly seen him as his father at all. Everything about their relationship had merely been a means for Justin to strip Javier of his power and authority and achieve his ultimate goal. Now, utterly exhausted, Justin had no energy to deal with Javier. After arriving home, he headed straight to his room to rest, leaving Eden to handle him. After taking so many lives in recent days, the weight on Justin's heart was overwhelming. Nevertheless, having reached his physical and emotional limits, he fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow. He dreamed of watching his mother shoot hersel

    In the interrogation room, Cyrus conducted the questioning himself. He tossed several crime scene photos onto the table in front of Justin. "Take a look. Aside from your Uncle Zachary, do you recognize the other man?"Justin lowered his gaze, his voice calm and steady. "No."A faint smile tugged at Cyrus's lips. "No? This was the man who kidnapped you 20 years ago. He locked you up in a cage and tortured you for days. "I'm sure that left quite an impression. You must have wished to kill him every time you thought about it. How could you possibly forget his face?"A cold glint flashed in Justin's dark eyes, but his tone remained even. "Oh, that's him? But like you said, that was 20 years ago. It's only natural I wouldn't remember something from that long ago, don't you think?"Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly. "And yet Jasper recognized him at a glance. That man was Gustav Holm, the thug who kidnapped both of you back then. Your brother is five years younger than you, which mean

    Instantly, Justin could taste the stench of blood in the back of his throat. His organs felt like they were immersed in a vat of medicinal concoction. He felt so bitter that he couldn't say a word."As per my knowledge, there is no drug that can heal mental disorders. At most, it can only be controll

    Panic gripped Dominic, who almost had a heart attack. He could tell that everyone present, including Edward, must have signed the NDAs, as no one told him about the agreement."You were the only one at the meeting who didn't sign an NDA. Besides, only an employee could access the security control roo

    Late at night, Orlander summoned Freddy to the study, where Minnie was present as well."What? Calling off the engagement?" Minnie exclaimed in dismay. "Orlander Hodgson, are you joking? The engagement news is made public now. The wives of the local officials have been buttering me up and showering m

    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 mu
