Chapter 2079

Author: Ginger Sue
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 held her breath. She tapped into one of her skills—eavesdropping. She pressed her ear close to the door, straining to catch every word of the conversation inside."What's with you, Dad? You've been pestering us to get a girlfriend all these years. Now that I've taken a liking to Yules and want to be with her, you're opposing us so strongly. Why is that?" Out of all of Winston's children, Liam was the one with the gentlest personality. Even when he wasn't seeing eye-to-eye with Winston, he sought to find out Winston's reasoning patiently. "Miley likes Yules very much too. They interact often in Kontina, and they get along very well. "Yules is the only princess in the Kontinian royal family. If you're talking about family backgrounds, I'm the one who reached above my station. Why are you so displeased?" "Your girlfriend can be the princess of a country. She can be a goddess or a homeless woman. I don't care!" Winston took a deep breath. His eyes were reddened. With a tr

    "Nonsense!" Winston's pupils quivered. He slammed his hands on the couch's armrest in anger. "How could you find out about the royal family just as you wish? Moreover, if your feelings for that young woman are true, you shouldn't get close to her with an ulterior motive! "In order to see you, she stepped out of her palace and came all the way to another part of the world. You are clearly very important to her. She's fallen in love with you! "If you intend to use her, how is this fair for her? Do you think that the royal family will forgive you for playing with their princess's heart? Did you think that the special agents under the Kontinian royal family are just for show?" Liam's heart was pained. He was standing with his hands by his side. His hands started trembling uncontrollably. He curled his fingers into tight fists. Of course, he understood Winston's point. He wasn't a heartless person. However, without clarity on Jennifer's past, Winston's anxieties would fester, pois

    In his deep sleep, Winston furrowed his brows tightly, and his fingers twitched reflexively. Perhaps he was dreaming, or perhaps it was a telepathic connection with his daughter, Alyssa. "Was Mom… a member of the royal family?" Liam held his breath. Alyssa shook her head. "I don't know. Even if she were and got chased out for some reason, there wouldn't be absolutely no record of her."So, I'm guessing that she might have been someone from the palace or someone connected to the royal family. However, I'm not sure about the specifics. After all, we aren't familiar with the situation in Kontina at all."There's one thing I'm sure of, though." Her eyes gleamed with a cold intensity as she clasped her hands together. "There was probably some kind of grudge between Mom and the Kontinian royal family that forced her into exile. "By some miraculous chance, she ended up in Belbanks, and of all people, Dominic saved her."The word "grudge" hit Liam like a sharp, invisible knife. "Dad h

    It was late into the night. Liam retrieved his military uniform from his luggage and laid it beside his bed. Then, he used a flannel to polish his insignia. Although he found time to attend Landon and Lauren's wedding, he had to return to the military immediately. So, he brought his military uniform, which was his utmost pride, along with him. He still didn't feel sleepy after all that he busied himself with. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before he started to feel drowsy. Amidst his drowsiness, he felt a sudden rise in his body temperature. A faint, sweet-smelling breeze blew across his face, and he jolted awake and stared in surprise at the sight before him. Under the dim lighting, Yuliana's pale skin was barely concealed by a delicate nightgown as she straddled him. As she leaned forward, he couldn't help but notice her ample and enticing breasts, a sight that seemed almost too irresistible. "Liam… Hold me. I miss you." Yuliana's eyes shimmered with affectio

    The Taylors, when deeply in love, loved with all their heart. But when they wanted to appear heartless, they could act the part flawlessly. When Liam frostily uttered those words, it felt like a piece of flesh was being cut away from him. Not only that, it also felt like his wounded heart was being wrenched unsparingly. "Liam…" Yuliana, wrapped in his military uniform, shivered uncontrollably. Her shocked stares could burn holes into him. "Are you leaving me?"She seemed like a talented supporting actress, perfectly embodying her role in his charade. Tears streamed down her face when she asked that question, dripping onto the bedsheets.Liam's chest tightened. He couldn't bear to look at her anymore. If only her feelings weren't genuine. If only she were there merely to seduce him. But no. Here she was, pouring out her heart, raw and genuine. Every tear, every word, spoke the truth. "Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten everything we did in the palace? You risked your lif

    Liam lowered his eyes, slowly clenching his fists as if trying to grasp the warmth that was gradually slipping away. "I hope you can find someone who can prioritize and love you with his life. It's not worth it for you to love someone like me." …Yuliana cried as she ran through the hallway in the fortress. When exhaustion finally claimed her, she slumped against a wall, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. She looked like a child who the entire world had just abandoned. Some time passed before a figure stood before her and then lowered itself until meeting Yuliana's eyes. "Oh, someone's crying. I thought a ghost might be haunting the fortress," Alyssa said gently with a twinkle in her eye. Yuliana lifted her swollen eyes, choked on a sob, and exclaimed, "Yes… I'm a ghost… but I'm also the prettiest ghost you'll ever find!" "You're right! You're absolutely right. You're the prettiest princess in the whole world." Alyssa coaxed her tenderly. To distract Yuliana from her sa

    It was finally the day of the long-anticipated wedding. They were blessed with sunny and clear skies that morning. The interior of the fortress was filled with colorful decorations. Both sides of the staircases were adorned with blooming red roses that exuded a sweet scent. This display of roses extended all the way out of the fortress and toward the chapel behind it. The dreamlike setting was just like a scene from a fairytale. Family and friends from both sides were in attendance. Dressed in formal attires and with beaming faces, everyone stood outside the door, waiting for the bride's arrival. "The bride is here!" Alyssa's sweet and crisp voice echoed through the main hall of the fortress. Looking like a pure angel dressed in white, Lauren walked out slowly, accompanied by Rose, Tatiana and Alyssa. At this moment, female family members from both sides were in the room. Jasper, Sean, and Liam, who had no other duties, were also present. The rest of the men were standing b

    Coincidentally, Lauren was also looking in Cyrus' direction gleefully. Their eyes met. Their gazes showed no romantic feelings, only pure and innocent affection. "Ah…" Lauren smiled even wider. She waved the roses in her hand at him. Cyrus smiled back. As he smiled, he started to well up with tears. His vision of the lovely woman before him began to blur. It would be a lie to say he didn't feel any regret. However, he had no qualms about it and no desire to make up for his regret. All he wanted was for her to be happy. Jasper stood by the carriage in a black suit. He was dressed in a classic best man outfit as he didn't want to steal the spotlight. Even so, his looks were as charming and captivating as ever. As Lauren's older brother, he was in charge of taking his beloved sister to the wedding hall. Jasper sniffled as he watched Lauren approach him step by step. Silently, tears filled his eyes. Even so, he lifted the corners of his lips into a relieved and joyful smile to

    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

    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,
