Landon lowered his eyes and stared at the item in his hand. It was a gold pocket watch that was mounted with ruby and sapphire. He widened his eyes."Dad, this is…""This is a pocket watch that Jasper's great-great-grandfather passed down to his grandfather, Newton. It was then passed down to me." Landon felt like he had just heard a tongue twister, but he understood what was implied. Basically, it was a very precious item!"Now, I am giving it to you." A kind smile came across Javier's face. "This is an antique. It's an item that people at auctions will bid astronomical prices for. Don't underestimate its value." "Dad, this… This is too valuable. I can't accept it." Landon couldn't believe the amount of favor he was receiving. He declined immediately, "This is your family heirloom. You should be passing it down to Jasper. I don't deserve—""You're not an outsider. You are my son-in-law, and someone who's like a son to me. Why do you say that you don't deserve it?" Ja

There was silence. Jasper felt the chilly night breeze at Bernardia blowing across his face. He had an intense look in his eyes, and he could feel his heart pounding. Until today, he still had a glimmer of hope for Justin, who had once saved his life. With his own eyes, he had witnessed how the Schmidt brothers tore at one another and fought to their deaths. He didn't want the same cruelty to replay within the Becketts. "Jasper, I know that I'm unable to take care of myself because of my physical condition. Even so, I have always cared about Beckett Group. I think about Grandpa, Dad, you, and Lauren too." Justin's tone of voice was full of sincerity. "Firstly, I didn't know you were blowing the issue up from behind the scenes. All I did was look at it from Beckett Group's perspective. My intention was simply to protect our family's interests. "Secondly, even if I knew that you were the one behind all that, I don't think I would've done anything differently because everythin

Julien beamed from ear to ear. "Hi, Aunt Mandy, Madam Lyla and Madam Colene. Hey, Taty." "Where are you going, Jul?" Tatiana's eyes were wide with curiosity. "There's a famous brand of desserts at Bernardia. I wanted to buy some back for everyone to have a taste." "Yay! We get to have desserts, thanks to Jonah." Tatiana clapped her hands in joy. She really didn't treat him like an outsider. She simply spoke her thoughts. A sheepish smile flashed across Julien's face. He waved and headed off while humming a tune. When he brushed past Mandy, her sharp senses detected that peculiar scent from Julien. As she lifted her eyes, she caught a glance of his chest underneath his V-necked T-shirt. The faint, red marks on his chest made her blush!Mandy exhaled and remarked, "Young men are physically fitter indeed." She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip. She let out a cryptic smile. "What did you say, Mandy?" Lyla looked at Mandy with a confused look on her face. She didn't c

Julien squinted. Looking at the man's face, he didn't seem like he was lying. He didn't look like he was insulting him, either. Thus, Julien decided to let his guard down. Since he was a naturally curious person, he couldn't help but probe, "Do I really look like your friend?" "Very much so, especially your eyes. They're mesmerizing, like a fox's. My friend also had a similar, unforgettable gaze."The man nodded confidently. His gaze was still fixed on Julien, as he could not take his eyes off of him. "But at a closer look, you only look like him in appearance. Other than that, your expressions and mannerisms aren't alike. "Sorry… for thinking that you were someone else. I'm really sorry." "That's alright." Julien shrugged nonchalantly. "You can tell your friend about this when you get back. After all, it's quite a miraculous thing to know that there is a doppelgänger living in another part of the world." The man shook his head dejectedly. "I wish I could, but it's not pos

The man in the car looked in the direction of where Jonah and Julien had gone. Then, he took out his phone and examined the couple's intimate photo that he had secretly snapped. If he hadn't verified it previously, he would have been certain that they were Jonah and Blake, whom he knew. He gritted his teeth and floored it. …When they arrived at the door to the fortress, Julien thought of sharing his encounter at the dessert shop with Jonah. But he noticed the three luxurious cars that were stopped in the courtyard. He didn't recognize those vehicles. There were also bodyguards dressed in suits and standing guard outside. In a flash, he was distracted. "Oh? Didn't Landon say that only the Taylors' and Becketts' friends and family were invited for the wedding? Who else is here?" "It's Miley. She brought someone else with her too. Or to be more specific, it's someone who insisted on coming along with her." Jonah had his arms around Julien. He had a secretive look on his fa

Winston and Liam had smart and striking appearances. Their bearings were no less noble than that of royalty. "Dad! Liam!" Alyssa rushed over to them immediately. Winston forced a smile. Then, he directed a conflicted gaze toward Yuliana. Liam stared at Yuliana. There was a flicker in his eyes as he tightened his fists subconsciously. The moment Yuliana spotted Liam, her glistening eyes lit up and filled with eagerness. However, due to her noble identity, she could only restrain her emotions as she approached Liam step by step. Women were best at understanding other women. Alyssa could clearly sense that…The relationship between Yuliana and Liam wasn't that simple. They had a story. "Colonel." Yuliana looked up smugly and gazed at Liam with a deep look in her eyes. "Aren't you going to greet me?" Everyone's gazes were focused on this eye-catching pair in front of them. Liam gulped before taking a step forward. He lowered himself slowly and knelt on one knee. Then,

Yuliana, the princess of Kontina, risked getting reprimanded by her father when she returned home. That one kiss revealed her purpose for traveling all the way here. She had come only to meet with Liam. She was a princess who ran away from the royal family in order to meet her lover. This was such a romantic long-distance relationship and a fairy tale about true love. However, to the Taylors, they were burdened by immense pressure! "You abducted the princess, Miley. Is that okay?" Back in the room, Mandy held onto Miley's hand and asked anxiously, "You won't be in trouble with the royal family when you get back, will you? Will they make things difficult for you and Jeremy?" "It's fine, Mom. You don't have to worry. We are close to the royal family." Miley's voice was gentle and comforting. "Also, I'm not that dumb to abduct the princess. Yuliana thinks that she has run away from the royal family. But, in actual fact, I informed Her Royal Highness the moment Yuliana boarde

Lyse, Jennifer was from Kontina," Mandy commented. A sad look flashed across her eyes. Alyssa mumbled softly, "Mom…" Her heart ached. Mandy sat down by her side, opened her arms, and pulled her into a warm embrace. "Ever since your mother's passing, Winston has never set foot in Kontina. Even when he happened to see any news about Kontina on TV, he would switch channels as quickly as possible. Perhaps he was reminded of your mother when he saw someone who had come from Kontina."Lyse, I'll suggest that you go and keep him company. If not, he might get caught up in his thoughts when he's alone, and get so down that he has trouble sleeping again." …With some desserts in her hands, Alyssa walked toward Winston's room. Right after she turned the corner, she bumped into Axel, who had just returned from the frosty winter night. "Axel, you're back!" "Hi, Lyse." Axel strutted up to her with his hands in his pockets. "I haven't seen you all day. Everyone has been asking where y

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

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
