News of Jonah and Julien secretly registering their marriage in Bernardia without their families' knowledge spread like wildfire. Within a day, their entire family knew.Although everyone had accepted Julien as Jonah's partner, they were still shocked to hear about the marriage between the two men.The next evening, Jonah and Julien, hand in hand, went to see Winston and Mandy.Alyssa and the other Taylor family members hurried over, fearing the couple would get a dressing down. "This is a major event. Why didn't the both of you inform Mandy and me?" As expected, Winston's displeasure was evident in his stern expression. Julien, towering beside Jonah, shrank back, not daring to breathe. He clung tightly to Jonah's hand, appearing entirely submissive."Dad, Mandy, this was all my idea," Jonah said firmly, intertwining his fingers with Julien's. His protectiveness was evident. "I planned everything behind Julien's back. He had no clue about the proposal until the very last mome

"I'm sorry, Dad," Jonah furrowed his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly. "Jonah, Julien, when are you having your wedding?" Everyone grew excited upon hearing Silas' question. The atmosphere became lively again. "I don't need a wedding. Jonah has given me the perfect proposal." Julien's eyes twinkled like the stars. He gazed deeply into Jonah's eyes. "I feel very happy. This is all I need." Jonah Taylor and Julien Lovelace, a match made in heaven. They were now married. …Happy times always flew by. Landon and Lauren remained at the estate to begin their long honeymoon together. One by one, the others returned to Solana City and Belbanks. As for Yuliana, she was quick-witted. She bid everyone goodbye and followed Miley back to Kontina. She never even glanced back at Liam as she left the estate.What she heard that night blew her mind. It made her feel like she was struck by lightning. When she thought about the possibility that their royal family had something to do wi

Sean pushed thoughts of Tatiana aside temporarily, refocusing on work. "Since our trip to Bernardia until now, Chief Novak hadn't gone home at all. He has been at the station the whole time. Even if he had things to buy, he'd get his subordinates to go out and buy them for him. He seems to be almost cutting himself off from the world." The look in Alyssa's eyes deepened. "Didn't he visit his wife?" "No, he didn't. Not even once." Sean frowned in disbelief. "The more I think about it, the stranger it feels." Alyssa spun her pen nimbly, her eyes dark. "It's not strange. Chief Novak is an exceptionally alert man. I'm sure he has realized the danger he's in. Acting rashly could be fatal."Sean was dumbfounded. "Ms. Alyssa, do you mean—""I wouldn't be surprised if Jamiper is prepared to take him down," Alyssa interrupted, her grip tightening on the pen until her knuckles whitened. "There's also a chance Chief Novak dodged an attempt already, prompting his extra precautions and

"Age is catching up with me. I'm getting weak." Newton pouted despondently like a child. "All I did was go and attend my precious granddaughter's wedding, and my body is breaking down. How embarrassing is this?" "Not at all, Grandpa Newton. You're still a tough man. I'm sure that you'll live a long life." Alyssa held Newton's hand and gave him a gentle squeeze. Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt sorry for him. She understood that as people aged, their bodies couldn't handle as much. If it weren't for Lauren's wedding, she couldn't have borne to see Newton travel so much."Alyssa, this past year, I've felt like my physical body isn't as strong as before. Sometimes, when I fall asleep at night, I can't even be sure if I'll be able to wake up the next morning." Newton's sincere anticipation filled his eyes. His voice sounded nasally. "I don't have any particular wishes before I die… I just hope that I can attend your wedding ceremony with Jasper.""Grandpa Newton…" Tears fi

Accompanied by Sean, Alyssa reached the hospital's south wing. Heavily guarded, it resembled an impregnable fortress.Alyssa shot Sean a glance, and he took her hint. The moment he went forward, two of the Schmidts' bodyguards blocked him off coldly. "You're not allowed to enter here!" "I am the secretary of KS Group's president, Ms. Alyssa Taylor. She heard that Mr. Schmidt fell sick and was hospitalized. So, she came here specially to pay him a visit and see how he's doing," Sean explained in a cold voice. Heaven knew how revolted he felt when he uttered this nonsense. He really wished that Jameson would just die in the hospital today! The two bodyguards exchanged glances. Of course they knew who Alyssa was. However, Jameson's orders were decrees that they had to obey. Those who didn't would lose their lives. Thus, they rejected politely. "We're sorry, Ms. Alyssa. We're just following orders…"Despite feeling doubtful, Alyssa smiled in response. "If this is the case, I shal

Those who didn't know Jameson well would never associate him with villainous words like "viper", "monster", or "devil". Step by step, Alyssa walked to the side of his bed. Her gaze was calm as she examined him. "I'm not feeling well, Lyse…" Jameson's eyes turned red from holding himself back. Finally, he couldn't help himself. He gulped and reached for her hand. But she offered him no opportunity. A frown creased her face as she stepped back to avoid him."It's such a shame," she smirked mockingly, "that you're merely ill. Not dead."The air in the room grew thick with tension. After a moment, Jameson leaned back against the headboard, his eyes still filled with tender affection."I won't kick the bucket so easily, Lyse. I wouldn't be able to see you again if I died." Alyssa scoffed, clenching her fists. "I've toiled through so much to come back from Kontina to see you. All these years, you've been the reason I persevered. So, for your sake, I have to live a long life."

Newton's condition stabilized after getting his fluids replenished. He had a sound afternoon nap at the hospital before Alyssa escorted him home in the evening. Right as Alyssa and Sean exited the villa, they ran into Jasper, who had just rushed home. "Lyse!" Jasper wrapped his arms tightly around Alyssa, his labored breathing betraying his urgency. "Thank you. Even after rushing here, it seems I couldn't be of any help.""Don't say that. It's also my responsibility to look after Grandpa Newton." Alyssa smiled tenderly. She put her arm over his broad shoulders and gently squeezed. "I'll go see Grandpa." Jasper was just about to walk away when Alyssa held him back. "It took him a while to fall asleep. Don't disturb him. He's getting old. Having to attend Lauren's wedding took a toll on him. He's physically and mentally exhausted, so just let him rest." "Okay," Jasper sighed, feeling remorseful. "Hey, Jasper." Alyssa paused. She had a serious look on her face. "Let's talk in

Carl opened the hospital room door with a gloomy expression. A female nurse with an unfamiliar face stood at the door, holding a tray. She smiled, "Good day. It's time for Mr. Schmidt to take his medications. It wouldn't be good for his condition if he missed his dose.""You're not the usual nurse," Carl observed, his eyes narrowing."I was just transferred here yesterday. My last name is Thompson. You can just call me Ms. Thompson. The previous staff member met with an accident, and there isn't enough manpower." Briar Thompson reassured them confidently, "Please don't worry. I've signed a non-disclosure agreement. I won't reveal anything I'm not supposed to." "Come in," Carl said, still keeping a cold look on his face as he made way for her.Briar walked in and placed the tray by the side of Jameson's bed. As she was about to touch Jameson, he spoke frigidly, "You're not needed here anymore. My secretary can help me with the injection. You may leave."Briar was taken aback b

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
