Chapter 2236

Author: Ginger Sue
Alyssa wasted no time, hurrying to the hospital with Sean by her side.

As they drove, Sean noticed Alyssa's distressed look and felt a pang of deep concern. "Ms. Alyssa, you should really get some rest first. You're still weak, and pushing yourself like this isn't good for you!"

Since returning, Sean had dropped the formal address, speaking more casually when he was anxious.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Grandpa Newton…" Alyssa closed her tear-filled eyes. Her heart was aching with sorrow.

Newton's illness was a consequence of his heartache over his grandson Jasper, who lay unconscious from his injuries, and Alyssa, who had been like a granddaughter to Newton, was the one responsible for the situation.

When Alyssa arrived at the hospital, her suit was drenched in a cold sweat, and her legs felt like they were walking on clouds.

Ben was already waiting outside the door to the hospital ward.

"I'm sorry for being late, Mr. Gorham," Alyssa choked as tears welled up in her e

    Even though Newton was Javier's father, he still sided with Alyssa. He gathered his energy and said sternly, "What do you mean he's already ended up like that? Jasper's limbs are intact. He's just in a coma for now! Are you trying to curse your own son? "If you think that Jasper can't make it, why don't you go make preparations for his funeral instead of spewing rubbish here? Maybe you'll even shake off some of that bad luck while you're at it.""Dad, are you seriously defending her, even now?"Javier's rage boiled over as he glared at Alyssa, his eyes bloodshot. "It really makes me wonder if you are my son's kryptonite! What did Jasper ever do to deserve this from you?"Despite her sharp tongue, Alyssa kept her silence, fists clenched at her sides, swallowing the resentment sent her way. Her silence only fueled Javier's fury. He raised his hand impulsively, aiming to strike her pale face."Javier, stop it!" Newton's eyes widened in alarm, but his aging body was powerless to in

    This came like a bolt from the blue to Newton and Javier. Even though Alyssa tried to conceal her shock, she was, in truth, as surprised as they were. Her dark eyes betrayed a flicker of doubt and judgment."Mr. Newton, Mr. Javier, allow me to explain," Sheryl said, stepping forward from behind Justin. Her eyes lowered as she spoke, her brows furrowing with concern. "During that kidnapping 18 years ago, after the kidnappers abused Mr. Justin, he began suffering from severe symptoms such as organ failure, nerve paralysis, and many others. "Over the years, Mr. Justin has endured immense hardship in Mosgravia. His condition only stabilized after he tried out various treatment methods. He has to rely on an assortment of medications every day in order to keep up with living a normal life." Upon hearing that, Javier's heart was pained. He sighed and mumbled, "It must've been hard on you, my son…"Justin responded with a relaxed smile on his face. He shook his head. Sheryl's face wa

    Even considering Justin's health, Newton's actions seemed extreme. When he heard that Justin's condition had improved, there was no sign of relief on Newton's face. Instead, he looked anxious and fearful.What was Newton afraid of? Was he worried that Justin's return would jeopardize Jasper's place as the heir?Newton still controlled a third of Beckett Group's shares and held key businesses. Jasper also owned shares and was the acting president. Even if Javier favored Justin, it wouldn't be easy for Justin to take over the company, would it?As someone seasoned and used to upheavals, what was Newton afraid of?…Justin remained in his wheelchair as he left the hospital. Sheryl and his bodyguard helped him into his luxury Bentley. Just as the car began to move, Alyssa suddenly rushed out and grabbed the window as it rolled up.Justin's bodyguard hit the brakes immediately. Sheryl, startled, glared at Alyssa's cold expression. "Ms. Alyssa, why would you throw yourself at someone

    Alyssa looked into Justin's eyes once again. This time, she was confident, firm, and fearless. "If Jasper wakes up, we will fight alongside one another. If he never wakes up, I will fight on his behalf. "I will watch over everything that belongs to him. No one can ever dream of getting their hands on his slice of the pie—no one." This was what she wanted to say when she approached Justin to speak to him privately. A startled look flashed across Justin's striking face. Then, he chuckled softly. In a slightly relaxed and amused tone, he remarked, "You're right, Ms. Alyssa. No one can take away that which belongs to Jasper." Alyssa could sense that he was implying something else. The look in her eyes dimmed. "You want me to take this report and find out the type of medication Jasper had ingested, am I right?" Justin readily agreed, "Sure. I'll help you out." "Thank you, Justin." Without pausing, Alyssa stepped out of the car.She watched coldly as Justin's car disappeared i

    Jameson's case was officially handed to the Solana City Investigative Bureau, where Silas worked, for further investigation. Jameson would be officially sentenced within two months of the court hearing. If everything went well, he would be sentenced to death.The weather was dreary that day, with a steady drizzle falling from the gray sky. A woman in a white lab coat and heels walked confidently toward the detention center's entrance with an umbrella."I'm sorry for inviting you on a rainy day like this, Dr. Gillis." The head of the detention center welcomed Sheryl with a smile. Sheryl tilted her black umbrella upward, revealing her graceful and elegant face. She smiled slightly. "Even inmates have their rights. It is my duty as a doctor to heal the wounded. It has nothing to do with their identities." The head of the detention center seconded, "You're right." Sheryl's smile widened. In a compelling tone, she said, "The fact that you're willing to allow volunteers to provid

    Jameson's shoulders trembled. He looked as if he could shatter with just one touch. "I don't have much longer to live… Isn't Mr. Justin going to allow me to live out the last of my days?" "Truth be told, you should be thankful, Jameson." Sheryl clicked her tongue and shook her head. "If Mr. Justin hadn't rescued you back then, you and your mother would've been killed in Solana City a long time ago without anyone realizing. Your glory days over the past ten-plus years wouldn't have happened. "Mr. Justin gave you life. You shouldn't be complaining now that he wants to take it back. "Once this drug is injected, it will remain in your body for 48 hours. If you do the math, you will pass away painlessly in your sleep. This is much more gracious than if you were to be sentenced to death or if you were to die when your condition flares up." A few minutes later, Jameson knelt limply on the floor. Ashen-faced, he received the painless yet lethal injection. After putting the syringe

    "No, I can't. Not yet." Justin took a sip of his tea. His gaze was as deep as treacherous undercurrents. "According to my calculations, Jasper should be waking up soon. "He has Ms. Alyssa and a bunch of reliable friends helping him out by his side. He might actually be able to get through this hurdle." Sheryl leaned in toward Justin. In a low voice, she whispered, "So, you're saying…""I heard that Ms. Alyssa has a 'sister-in-law' who's quite capable. I heard that he's a neurologist?" Sheryl was taken aback. "You're referring to… the Lovelace family's youngest son, Julien Lovelace?" Justin lowered his eyes and drank his tea. In a cold voice, he said, "This person cannot stay in Ms. Alyssa's team. He cannot remain by Jasper's side." Remy perked up instantly. "Shall I get to work?" "Murder is not the only way to make someone leave." Justin played with his tea cup with the tip of his finger. With a smirk on his face, he explained, "We can achieve the same results by breaking

    Upon hearing that Jasper had regained consciousness, Alyssa burst out in tears of agitation. She lowered her small frame bit by bit, eventually curling herself into a ball as she trembled in the cold wind. "Ms. Alyssa…" Tears filled Sean's eyes. His heart broke as he watched Alyssa. Ever since Jasper fell unconscious, the days felt like years to Alyssa. Even so, the days passed by like a blur. She was clearly still alive, but that bright-eyed side of her that was as beautiful as a rose could no longer be found. She was burdened by too much pressure. She blamed herself constantly, letting the self-reproach eat at her continuously. She was conscious but was gradually falling into insanity. "Why are you crying, my dear? Jasper is awake. You should be jumping for joy!" Newton comforted her over the phone. At the same time, he couldn't help but worry about her. "It's so cold today. Are you outside, my dear?" "Grandpa Newton… I am… I'm outside the hospital." All the crying

    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
