"Everyone, please make sure that you've made a well-thought-out decision. You will no longer be part of The Ivory the moment you step out this door. "From today onward, you cannot seek profit under the name of The Ivory. And you will no longer be under the organization's protection the moment you leave this place." Alyssa squinted. She rested her arms on the armrest gracefully. With a tap of her foot, she spun her chair around and faced them. "Gang life was never about violence. It's about knowing the ways of the world. I hope none of you assumed that your safety all these years was because people feared your names." Everyone in the group looked at one another. A look of diffidence flashed across the eyes of a few division heads, whose divisions were not as big as Harry's. "What are you trying to say, Ms. Alyssa? Are you threatening us?" Harry gave her a fierce stare. "The Ivory is able to have business dealings and survive till today because my father has been supporting y

"Landon?" Alyssa's eyes widened. She stared at Landon's handsome face in shock. In an instant, her eyes lit up! "Mr. Landon?" Colene, who was standing beside her, was also astonished. She was aware that Landon had only been staying by Lauren's side ever since she was hurt. He had no time for the business world or the underworld. He had been keeping a low profile. Other than at Cornelius' funeral, he hadn't reappeared in public. This was the second public appearance since then. The rebelling division heads, including Harry, were staggered to witness Landon's entrance. Some of them were so shocked that they stumbled backward. Landon was no longer just a Harper family member. He had now taken over as their head!"Hello, Ms. Colene. Hi, Lyse." Landon narrowed his eyes slightly. He slipped his black coat off his broad shoulders. Jordan, who was behind him, caught it in his hands. "Jasper told me that there would be a big upheaval at The Ivory today and asked me to come over

Alyssa comforted Colene before turning her gaze toward Landon. "Landon, why did you suddenly come here?""Jasper notified me, of course," Landon replied with a gentle smile."He couldn't come himself and was worried about you and Madam Colene, so he asked me to come over. After all, people in the underworld still have a little respect for the Harper family."Colene, being her optimistic self, couldn't resist teasing, "Oh, Mr. Landon, don't be modest. Compared to your influence, I'm really nothing.""What influence do I have? It's all my grandpa's lingering influence." Landon chuckled wryly.Alyssa asked with concern, "How is Lauren? Is she okay?"Landon's eyes turned gentle at once. "She's gained some weight from my feeding, but she's doing well.""Has she... started speaking?"Landon's long lashes fluttered as he shook his head. "After we finish the wedding, I plan to take her on a trip around the world. We'll see a doctor along the way.""That sounds good." Alyssa smiled. "M

Nathan's case made no progress despite the Ivory being saved.Cyrus followed Alyssa's orders and had people secretly keep an eye on Aidan's movements.After taking care of Victor's funeral, Jameson visited Lily at Solana City's top nursing home.Thin as a stick, Lily sat in a wheelchair with her back to Jameson. A nurse attended to her as she basked in the sunlight in the courtyard.But seeing that, Jameson felt endless heartache. Her frail body seemed like it could turn to ashes at any moment under the sun, scattering in the wind."Mr. Schmidt, your mother's condition... is very poor," the doctor said worriedly while shaking his head."She's in the late stages of Alzheimer's. Not only is her memory fading, but her language abilities are also declining gradually. And with her heart condition, it's even more dangerous in this late stage of the disease."Jameson took a deep breath and pressed his pale lips tightly together."There's no miracle drug to cure Alzheimer's. My advice

"W-Who are you... Who are you?" Lily's bloodshot eyes widened, and she scratched wildly in the air, leaving two bloody marks on Jameson's face."You're not my son... Jimmy is not as wicked as you! He's not!"Jameson remained kneeling. Without moving, he watched Lily go mad with a cold and resolute expression.He felt like he was going mad too—just that his madness was quiet.Upon hearing the commotion, two nurses hurried over to restrain Lily, who was trembling and struggling."Call the police... Call the police... He's a murderer... A murderer!"But who would believe the words of a late-stage Alzheimer's patient?Lily shouted incoherently and was eventually pushed away by the nurses."Mr. Schmidt... don't be too upset. Madam Lily is not in her right mind now. Don't take her words to heart," Carl kept comforting Jameson.Witnessing the scene, even he felt extremely uncomfortable, let alone Jameson."How much longer... How much longer will it take?" Jameson closed his eyes. Hi

"They're backed by the Beckett Group. The only person who dares to do this is Jasper."Jameson slowly lifted his gaze, revealing the depth of darkness behind his golden-rimmed glasses. "Well, well, he's starting a social media war.""What's most annoying is that we can't remove this hashtag from the trending list! That would be like walking into his trap." Carl was quite smart.At that moment, a phone call came in.Jameson lowered his eyes and saw "Ms. Gillis" on the screen. He clenched his teeth and answered."Mr. Schmidt, why is there so much going on on your end? It's reached Mr. Justin's ears now. What's going on?" Sheryl's tone was stern, clearly demanding answers."It's Jasper's doing. He wants to make it chaotic and use public opinion to suppress me so that I can't act freely."Jameson was already simmering with rage, and with Sheryl's attitude, he was on the brink of exploding. "I'll call Mr. Justin to explain later.""Hmph! Save it. Mr. Justin is furious right now. He'

Jasper's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to call the director of Solana Daily, Javier's call came in. He sensed trouble and wanted to avoid Alyssa while answering. Yet he feared she'd think he was hiding something, so he reluctantly turned and picked up the phone. His voice was barely above a whisper."Yes, Dad?""Did you order the release of that news about the human drug experimentation on Solana Daily's official Twitter?" Javier's tone was stern."Yes.""I've already issued orders to take it down. As for the hashtag, even if we don't remove it, someone else will!"Jasper frowned, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. "No, it can't be removed."Alyssa glanced at him with a poker face."It's not that I want to remove it; it's an order from above. First of all, this news is suspected to be fake news. It wasn't confirmed by the official source before being released."This has already caused a lot of pressure on the higher-ups. People are scared! If we don't handle it, trou

"Look, Lyse. It's always like this," Jasper said.Alyssa looked at him, feeling sorry for him. She didn't blame him or reproach Javier.Even though they had to go against Jameson, the bond Jasper and Javier forged during Lauren's incident was precious. Alyssa hoped they wouldn't create further divisions."But don't worry. Even if Solana Daily doesn't publish it, I'll make sure other media outlets continue to report on it. It's just that their influence may not be as strong as Solana Daily's." Jasper's eyes burned red with frustration.The spark had just ignited. He couldn't let it be extinguished like this."This isn't your dad's fault. It's pressure from above." Alyssa's voice was gentle as she soothingly calmed his emotions."But what surprised me is that Justin called to intervene in this matter at this critical moment. I've been with your family for three years. Beckett Group has faced numerous commercial crises in the past, but he's always been unmoved."This time, it's jus

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc
