"It's alright, Ms. Alyssa. I'm not tired!" Briar's voice was shaky because of how overjoyed she was. "I'm really over the moon that I get to meet you! I feel as energetic as ever!"

"I'm glad to see that you're fine too." Alyssa took a deep breath. Her eyes were filled with worry. "After all, you are approaching a vicious and dangerous person this time. Your life might be in danger if you lose focus."

Briar shook her head slightly. With a determined look in her eyes, she said, "I'm not afraid. If I was afraid, I wouldn't have accepted your request when you came to me.

"My brother and I… We grew up relying on one another. Ever since he went to The Millennium to be Jameson's bodyguard, he was beaten and reprimanded by Jameson every day. After that, Jameson beat him up and made him permanently disabled. His right leg is completely crippled!

"Jameson is a wolf in sheep's clothing! He doesn't treat them as humans at all. They're merely tools for him to let his anger out on!"

    It had been half a month since Jameson was hospitalized for treatment. Carl helped him with handling the matters at Schmidt Group. However, he was too busy to keep an eye on the matters at The Millennium. No matter how much he distrusted Amber, the business was back in her hands. She managed the company on his behalf for some time. Even so, Jameson had never stopped monitoring her, not even for a single moment. Other than when she went to the toilet, to shower, or when she was asleep, her every move was being watched. Furthermore, she couldn't even take a single step out of The Millennium. As long as she couldn't leave, she wouldn't be able to get her hands on the important evidence that Wesley had hidden. If she couldn't retrieve it, Wesley would have sacrificed himself for nothing! This was the period when Jameson was absent. It could also be her only chance. Even if she might end up sacrificing herself, she needed to get that evidence!Hence, tonight, Amber wore an incons

    Without waiting for Carl to respond, Amber lowered her head timidly. "If it's a no, then… forget about it." "It's just driving a car. No problem." Carl didn't know how he should react. He lifted his hand and caressed the top of her head. "I may not have command over the major things, but I can still make decisions over small matters like this. If no one drives that high-end Ferrari Mr. Schmidt gifted you, it will eventually be scrapped. That was also Mr. Schmidt's kind gesture toward you. Don't waste it. Drive it." Amber beamed. Yet, that alluring smile of hers was not reflected in her eyes. She drove her red sports car toward Solana City's largest antique jewelry gallery. They planned to get a birthday gift for Jameson from there. A crystal oil burner caught Amber's eye. The shop owner sang praises of her for having a good eye. She smiled sweetly. Just as she was about to swipe her card, Carl jumped ahead and paid seven million dollars without batting an eyelid. "We've

    The days passed by without any turbulence. Twice each day—once in the morning and once at night—Briar and another nurse rotated shifts to take Jameson's medications to him and give him his shots. Each time, Jameson would have his primary physician conduct routine checks on his medication. Even so, the results were identical each time. There were no problems with the medications. Before they realized it, it was the day before Jameson's birthday. That night, determined to ease the tension between Jameson and Amber, Carl set off for the gallery to retrieve Amber's surprise birthday gift for him.Jameson's hospital room was heavily guarded from the outside. He only had a bedside lamp on in his room as he read under the soft lighting. Briar knocked on the door and walked in. In a gentle voice, she said, "Mr. Schmidt, it's time for your medications." "Okay." Jameson seemed to be in a good mood today. There was a faint glee in his eyes. Briar had an earnest smile on her f

    Both Jameson's and Carl's jaws dropped."What are the cops doing here? I don't care what you do. Just stop them from entering!" Carl commanded while he glared. Jameson's bodyguard was drenched in sweat. "But… But they've already…"Jameson lowered his head. He asked gloomily, "What's their team leader's name?""His last name is… Taylor." Carl widened his eyes immediately. He looked nervously toward Jameson, who was looking emotionless.Right at this moment, the hospital room door burst open, and Jameson watched Cyrus march in. He was casually dressed, and he had a frigid air about him. "Hello, Mr. Schmidt. I believe I won't need to introduce myself again," Cyrus smirked coldly. That said, he still flashed his badge per his usual practice. "It's been a while, Cyrus." The smile on Jameson's face was friendly and warm. There was not a single hint of wickedness in his smile. "You don't have to address me in such a friendly manner." Cyrus was an experienced criminal investiga

    "There's no use talking about this now! He was arrested on the spot with evidence right before everyone's eyes. The cops are going to take a urine sample from Mr. Schmidt in a bit. If the results turn out to be positive, there's no way that he'll be able to clear his name!" "It would be best if they could run a test because Mr. Schmidt has never touched that thing at all!" Carl exclaimed confidently. He was Jameson's most trusted assistant. No one else might dare to guarantee that, but he dared to. After that, doubt filled his heart again. How did Jameson's medication get replaced with a drug out of nowhere? He checked on his medications personally every day. Today was the only day when…In an instant, Carl's face went pale. He took out his phone with trembling hands and immediately called one of his subordinates. Through gritted teeth, he ordered, "Bring that nurse, Ms. Thompson, who has been attending to Mr. Schmidt these past few days, to see me… right now!" "I was ju

    It had been almost 24 hours since Jameson was detained in the police station's interrogation room. When he was at Kontina, countless people curried favor with him, sang praises about him, and sought favors from him. The amount of people who kissed up to him was outrageous. When he returned to his country, he ruled The Millennium at night. Currently, he was in complete control of Schmidt Group. He was an unparalleled leader whom many looked up to. He was surrounded by endless power, money, and pride. These placed him high up on a pedestal. It had been a long time since he was last put in captivity and treated disrespectfully like this. Every passing second and minute felt like ages. It was excruciating. More than that, it was humiliating. "We're almost at the 24-hour mark. When will I be able to leave?" Jameson sat on the cold and uncomfortable chair in the interrogation room with his legs crossed. There was a chilling harshness behind his gold-framed glasses. "What's with

    "That's impossible! I didn't take drugs!" Jameson yelled. Cyrus took over the analysis report from his colleague. He flipped through it and reconfirmed the presented results. He got so excited that the corners of his lips started twitching. He walked over and slammed the document down before Jameson. There was a glimmer in his eyes. "The law will not accuse any innocent person falsely. In the same way, it will not spare any evil-doers. "These days, handling cases is more about the evidence than verbal statements. Although you insist that you've never taken drugs, there is hard evidence showing otherwise. You cannot deny this!" Jameson looked at the results written in black and white. His ears started ringing. When he was in Kontina, it was true that his business involved drugs. After all, it was a field that could reap the most fortune in the shortest time. That said, he was well aware that it was something that would bring about eternal destruction if he touched it. Thus

    Jasper helped Briar settle down and ascertained that she wouldn't be in danger. After that, he traveled overnight to rush back to Solana City. Worriedly, he returned to his home with Alyssa. The moment he entered the door, he heard the sound of Alyssa's melodious laughter coming from the living room. She and Rosie were watching a television series together.Jasper felt relieved. A smile spread across his face slightly. He draped his suit over his forearm and walked over quietly. "Madam, you haven't rested at all after such a busy day. Yet, you even made dessert for Mr. Jasper. It must be so tiring for you." Rosie plucked an icy cold grape and put it on Alyssa's palm. Her eyes filled with concern. "You can leave these things to me. You should take the opportunity to rest." "It's alright. I'm not tired. Plus, I get to focus on doing one thing and declutter my mind when I'm making desserts. It helps me to feel more relaxed."Alyssa smiled and ate the grape. She even fed a grape

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps.

It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

    The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

    Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

    That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

    Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
