Alyssa had always been a greedy person. She didn't dare to allow herself to become idle. She called Cyrus. "Cyrus, have you and your people completed the autopsy for Jameson?" "We have. He had a heart attack, but according to the forensic pathologist, this type of heart attack didn't happen because of his own health reasons. Instead, it was triggered by some medication that was injected into him." The suspicion in Alyssa's heart grew. She lowered her voice. "When we were on Rose Island, Jameson had taken quite a number of random medications to keep himself alert. Even so, nothing bad actually happened to him. "After over half a month of being in the detention center, he hadn't been consuming medications or receiving injections. Yet, he actually dropped dead? Doesn't it sound strange to you?" Cyrus had his doubts too. "No matter how much we speculate, we don't have any solid evidence." "Other than myself, has he met with anyone else the past two days?" "Everyone in the Sch

Looking into each other's eyes, Alyssa's bloodshot eyes gradually filled with tears of agitation and sorrow. Jasper came out to see her. Did he know she had been watching him the whole time? Did that mean that deep within him, he still had feelings for her and that she was someone special to him? Alyssa's lips parted slightly. The tip of her nose was red. As she lay on her back and looked at Jasper, she mumbled in a miserable and coquettish voice, "Jasper… Jasper…" The look in Jasper's eyes darkened. He glanced at her silently for a while before asking in a hoarse voice, "What are you still doing here?" A huge drop of tear rolled from the corner of Alyssa's eye, reflecting how weak and fragile she was. She wanted to say something, but all that escaped her were sobs. She couldn't bring herself to say anything. Staring into her tear-filled eyes, Jasper frowned. "You woke me up because you kept talking." "I… I'm sorry…" she apologized to him while she sobbed.She used to

Alyssa wasn't a cowardly woman. Just as Jasper was about to pull her hand away, she gritted her teeth, bracing against the pain, and made her move.She pressed her body against his firm chest, her quivering lips seeking his, locking them in a deep, desperate kiss.Jasper's eyes widened. He stiffened up and fell into a daze, thanks to Alyssa's sudden and passionate move. He hadn't forgotten her. He remembered that they used to be lovers. However, those heart-fluttering memories were dispensable and meaningless to him. He could no longer find the love that he had for her. Yet, he didn't push her away.Noticing that Jasper wasn't moving, Alyssa became more daring. She knelt on the bed and cupped that well-sculpted face of his in her hands. She couldn't stop herself from kissing him, biting him, and reeling him in. In truth, they had learned about intimacy from one another. Jasper, especially, was a natural and fast learner. He was the one who discovered all her erogenous zones.

Alyssa didn't return to her manor in Solana City over the next three days. Not only was Rosie working there, but that place also contained too many memories of her relationship with Jasper. Simply stepping into the place made her heart feel like it was being torn. Alyssa didn't dare to return to Heightsnew Villa either. She didn't want Winston to worry or her family members to question her. Thus, she booked a room at KS World Hotel and just made do with that place for three nights. She had lost Jasper's love. Her heart was despondent, and she felt like a lost boat drifting out at sea. She no longer had a home. Jonah, Cyrus, and Sean found her at the hotel on the fourth day. With the curtains closed, Alyssa curled her small frame up under the covers and slept the day away. She didn't hear the knocks on her door at all. The three men were terrified to the point that they immediately called the supervisor over to open the door with the master key. There was complete silenc

Alyssa squinted through bleary eyes. After staring at Jonah briefly, she squirmed a little before closing her eyes again. "Either you forget Jasper or step up and make him fall for you all over again." Jonah's gaze was fiery, like twin flames dancing in his eyes. "Look at yourself right now. You're just wasting your life away right here!" "You're really noisy…" Alyssa mumbled, burying her head into the pillow. Her dark hair fanned out across the white sheets, making her seem all the more fragile. "Go away… Let me sleep."As her older brother, Jonah felt a mix of frustration and helplessness. His heart ached to see her like this. The key person involved had to be the one to solve the problem. Persuasion coming from anyone else was meaningless. Jasper was the only one who could help her with overcoming her troubles. "Ms. Alyssa, if you're hungry, you can get the chef at the hotel to whip something up for you. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Why must you have instant mac

Today, after undergoing a full-body checkup, Jasper was cleared to return home for rest, having met the conditions for discharge. After lunch, Xavier brought a suit set over and helped Jasper change into it piece by piece. When it was time to tie his necktie, Xavier was naturally reminded of those countless sunny mornings when Alyssa tied Jasper's ties for him. Alyssa was good with her hands and knew how to tie Jasper's tie in all sorts of ways. Every time she finished, Jasper would wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her close before pressing a deep kiss against her lips.Xavier wondered if there would ever be a chance to witness that beautiful scene again. He was discontented. He uttered, "Um, Mr. Beckett…"Jasper was silent. He lowered his eyes slightly and stared at Xavier with a frosty gaze. Just as Xavier was about to muster up his courage to talk about Alyssa, someone in a white lab coat strutted into the room. "Mr. Jasper, you look rather good today." The sm

The room was silent. Sheryl heard the name "Lyse" clearly. Alarm bells started ringing in her head. Didn't Justin warn that this type of medication could interfere with a person's emotional processing? It was meant to erase all traces of Jasper's passionate devotion to Alyssa so he would never yearn for the woman he once loved. So why would he mention Alyssa's name now?Jasper stared at his reflection in the mirror, surprised to see himself standing there alone. He had convinced himself he didn't need anyone else in his life. Yet, for some strange reason, the moment he said "Lyse", it felt as if a hole had formed in his heart. An echo reverberated through that void, one he couldn't ignore.He didn't realize that her name echoed because he couldn't forget her.While Jasper stood lost in thought, soft hands suddenly glided across his broad shoulders and around his neck. A light fragrance drifted to his nose.Looking down, he met Sheryl's eyes, filled with tenderness. The intens

Sheryl took a deep breath. Maintaining that same gentle posture of hers, she said, "Dr. Lovelace, you're mistaken. I was just helping Mr. Jasper with his tie. I'm afraid you're being overly sensitive and making a mountain out of a molehill." "He can do it himself. Or, if not, he has Mr. Hall. Why would it even concern you?" Human attraction was fascinating. Julien's initial impression of Sheryl was unfavorable—he found her insincere. Furthermore, he had heard from Jonah about the Beckett family dynamics. Justin and Jasper, born of different mothers, had a strained relationship. Given Sheryl's allegiance to Justin, Julien became increasingly wary of her."Dr. Lovelace, I've set things straight with Ms. Alyssa." Jasper pursed his lips so tightly that they turned pale. In a deep voice, he clarified, "We have gone our separate ways." A shocked expression came across Julien's face. He stumbled a step backward. "What did you say?" Stepping aside with a seemingly calm look, Sheryl

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
