Jasper also spotted Alyssa, who was in Justin's presence. A beautiful and harmonious scene like this had also once appeared in his monochromatic memories. He had once watched her play and laugh. As time passed, another man had already taken his place by her side. He had been the one who had initiated the breakup. He said he didn't want her to waste her time on him. He was also the one who had asked her to choose a good man for herself. Nevertheless, when he saw Justin's interest in Alyssa and how happy they were together, an explicable taste of bitterness rose at the back of his throat. Jasper clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his hands bulging. It felt like a bee had stung him on the tongue, the prickling, numbing sensation spreading through his body. Distracted by his own emotions, he barely noticed when a few snowflakes brushed against his sculpted face."Oh no. Watch out, both of you!" Suddenly, a large clump of snow fell from the branches above Jasper's and S

At this very moment, an angel and a devil were locked in a heated debate in Alyssa's mind. "Alyssa, did you see what that jerk did? He's just a fickle-minded asshole who hasn't changed his ways. Just give up on him soonest. Don't stoop so low!" "Lyse, you must not give up on him! Jasper only changed because of his brain injury. It's not that he wants to ignore you. Don't let your mind wander!" "Heck, stop making excuses for this asshole's behavior. Even if he doesn't love Lyse anymore, he still has memories from when they were deeply in love, right? But he's pushing all those memories aside, spending his time with another woman instead. He's heartless!""That's not a valid argument. Are they not allowed to break up just because they once had something? And memories? Memories don't hold any real weight!"Memories didn't carry any weight. It was a frigid day. Alyssa suddenly came to a halt, letting the icy wind whip against her frail body and dry the tears from her eyes. All

Justin gently laid Alyssa down on the back seat of his car.Moments later, Sean came running, out of breath. "Ms. Alyssa, are you alright?" Alyssa forced a smile despite her conflicting emotions. "Don't worry. I'm fine." Justin, not allowing Alyssa to downplay the situation, spoke up matter-of-factly, "She was almost hit by a truck. She fell on the same leg she had injured in the previous car accident. I'm taking her to the hospital to make sure she didn't aggravate the old injury.""How did that happen?" Guilt washed over Sean. "Ms. Alyssa, it was my bad. I failed to protect you!"Alyssa shook her head. "It's not your fault, Sean. Everything happened so fast."Turning to Justin, she said, "Thank you for saving me, Justin, but I don't want to trouble you. My secretary can take me to the hospital."Before Justin could respond, his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the car door for support as his body swayed.Alyssa and Sean were both staggered. "Mr. Justin!" At that

Although Amber had accompanied Jameson to Mosgravia on several occasions to visit "Sir", she had never actually laid eyes on him. The only time she had caught a fleeting sound of his voice was by chance. It was brief but distinctly captivating, leaving a lasting impression on her."Miss, Miss… You're hurting me," the boy mumbled, lifting his head weakly and drawing Amber's attention back to the moment. Amber realized that she had zoned out. Anxiously, she led the children away from Justin. "It's that woman again." With a condescending expression on Sheryl's face, she continued, "She's really strange. She gets so hostile whenever she sees me." Justin narrowed his eyes slightly as he turned toward where Amber went. "You've met her before?" Sheryl scoffed, "I only happened to see her when Jasper and I got here. Seeing Jasper chatting with a woman he didn't know surprised me. Ha! Could it be that those three pills he took awakened the playboy within him?" "Oh? What did Jaspe

A black Maybach was parked at the back entrance of the orphanage, its lights off and engine idling.Soon, a figure emerged from the back door, hurriedly approaching and entering the car."Sorry for keeping you waiting, Ms. Gillis," the woman apologized respectfully. Sheryl sat in the car with an air of arrogance, and her legs crossed in a relaxed manner. She handed a brown envelope to the woman. "Good work this morning," Sheryl remarked. The woman took the envelope from Sheryl and had a feel of its thickness. She smiled from ear to ear. "All that needed to be done was to cut a brake cable. It was no trouble at all." Sheryl couldn't be bothered to even glance at the woman she deemed inferior. Her expression remained cold as she spoke. "By the way, have you looked into all the volunteers and the teachers at the orphanage like I asked?""I have," the woman replied confidently. "I've been here for about a decade. It was a breeze." She pulled out a stack of documents from her bag

Jasper remained silent. His hands balled into tight fists at his sides, trembling ever so lightly as a dark expression settled over his face. After a moment of silence, Justin offered a casual smile, ignoring the tension on Jasper's face as he moved past him. "Justin, I've always respected you since I was young." Jasper's voice broke the silence, hoarse and strained, with his back turned to Justin. "There are things I can compromise on, but some matters, I can't."Justin, his back still facing Jasper, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Such as?""My need to see her now." A fierce determination lit Jasper's darkened eyes. "Justin, I won't deny your feelings for her. It's none of my business. But you have no right to stop me from seeing her either."If you and Ms. Alyssa are officially together, I'll never go near her again. You won't even need to say a word. I'll give you both my blessings and wish you a happy life together."As Jasper said "happy life", his throat tightened, and a b

One minute later, Sean came back out of the room. His expression was conflicted as he looked at Jasper. "Ms. Alyssa doesn't want to see you. Please leave." Jasper balled his hands into fists. "Why?" Sean sniggered coldly. "Why? Maybe because she's finally woken up. She doesn't want to make the same mistake twice or lose her dignity by chasing after a man who gives her nothing but indifference."Jasper's face paled, and he fell silent. Sean's heart ached as he remembered all the suffering Alyssa had endured recently. His eyes welled with unshed tears.Struggling to suppress his anger, Sean said, "Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa is completely exhausted. Since she doesn't want to see you, please just leave. Don't bother her anymore."…In the study at Seaview Manor, Sheryl laid out all her findings for Justin without holding back."I have reason to believe that the woman named Clara Whitaker is actually Jameson's substitute for Alyssa—Amber Altman!" Sheryl watched Justin, who was sit

The moment Alyssa's eyes met Jasper's, her heart skipped a beat. Her thoughts tangled in a whirlwind, like a ball of yarn unraveled in haste. How long had he been waiting there? Had he been here all night?She couldn't tear her gaze away from his captivating, reddened eyes. Tears threatened to spill, and her heart ached. And just then, she was reminded of the scene at the orphanage the day before—how Jasper had held Sheryl tightly in his arms under that tree.Alyssa's frail body trembled. She shifted her gaze away from his face, feeling a tightness in her throat.In this life, she had faced some incredibly trying times.During her time with Doctors Without Borders, she endured some of her harshest moments—starvation, freezing cold, and over ten days without a shower. Yet, even in those circumstances, she never felt completely defeated. But now, in front of Jasper, she was on the verge of breaking down.Just as she was about to shut the door, Jasper shot to his feet and char

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
