Chapter 2363

Author: Ginger Sue
After saying that, Justin turned and marched off.

Zachary's expression darkened. He frowned and pressed the call button on the table.

A moment later, his secretary walked in. He greeted respectfully, "Mr. Dutton."

"This nephew of mine has been getting out of line lately. It's time for a little reminder," Zachary muttered, lowering his head.

The secretary stepped forward without hesitation, extending his palm as Zachary pressed his cigar against it, extinguishing it with a single, calm motion.

"Once you finish the tasks at hand, I need you to head to Solana City. Meet with someone there."

After leaving Kings' Club, Justin remained silent the entire journey to the airport. His silence unnerved Sheryl, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to rise.

Justin was usually a man of smiles, but when his lips were tight, it meant that something serious was brewing.

"You're curious, aren't you?" he murmured, his eyes half-closed and lips pale. "Wondering how Zachary can roam freel

    As soon as Alyssa's health allowed for her discharge, she left the hospital swiftly without informing her family. Sean had just assisted her into the car when her phone rang.The call was from Rosie. "Mrs. Rosie, how have you been?" Alyssa couldn't hold the phone herself, her hands still bandaged, so Sean held it for her."I'm doing well. Madam, I heard from Mr. Jasper that you were injured?" Rosie's voice was concerned."I have been discharged from the hospital. Don't worry." Alyssa couldn't help but recall the soup she had splattered across Jasper's three-piece suit the other day. To her surprise, she discovered that he had prepared for such an outcome.It was as though he had predicted she might throw the soup. He had left one more serving of soup in the thermal flask just in case.Feeling hungry after their heated argument, Alyssa managed to sit up in bed with effort. After he left, she finished the last remnants of soup from the thermal flask. "Mrs. Rosie, did you ask M

    Liana's name was one that Sean hadn't heard in a really long time. At first, he was caught by surprise, stunned into silence. After a while, his eyes widened, and a surge of resentment welled up in his chest. He had to take a few deep breaths before he could calm himself down enough to say, "Ms. Alyssa, don't mention her name. It feels like a curse! When I think about all the pain she caused you, I—""Those are stories of old. Forget it. Let's just focus on the now. Sheryl always reminds me of Liana." It sounded almost absurd to say that aloud. Liana had been Jasper's childhood friend, growing up alongside him. But, of all people in the world, Alyssa was the one who knew Liana best.When Newton matched her with Jasper, Alyssa secretly tried to emulate Liana in subtle ways, hoping to please him. She mimicked Liana's style, soft voice, and mannerisms.Over those three years, Alyssa had humbled herself, compromising and living in misery. She lost herself in her feelings for Jaspe

    Alyssa shook her head. "Sheryl knows who you are. Trouble will ensue if she sees you. Let's wait and see for now." …After Sheryl entered the prison, the prison warden attended to her personally by leading her to the area where mentally sick prisoners were being held. "I have isolated him. He hasn't been behaving himself the past few days. He even dashed out to Mr. Lynch to say that he needed legal assistance. "He's quite severely ill, don't you think so?" The prison warden winked, as if he were trying to take credit for all that. "That's normal for a mentally ill patient." Sheryl stopped in her tracks at the door to a prison cell. She curled her lips upward coldly as she listened to the wails coming from the man within. She pulled out a bank card from her lab coat pocket and handed it to the prison warden. "Thanks for your help lately. This is for you." The warden accepted the card from her excitedly, expressed his utmost thanks, and then walked away. With a grim expr

    "Grover previously told Steven that he was innocent, but Sheryl has now forcibly transferred him elsewhere. Could it be that Sheryl is the one who framed him?"After Alyssa dropped her hint, Sean began piecing the puzzle together. "Sheryl was afraid Grover would expose her schemes, so she used her position as the prison medic, colluded with others inside the prison, and urgently transferred him?"Alyssa smiled approvingly. "If she didn't feel guilty, why would she go to such lengths and take such a huge risk? Still, I don't think this was her idea. If you ask me, she's just a pawn in someone else's game."Sean had a moment of revelation. "You're saying that Justin is the mastermind?" "That wouldn't be impossible," Alyssa replied, her eyes sharp with determination. "We need to find Grover immediately. If we can, we have to ensure his safety. He's the key to uncovering Justin's secret plan." "Ms. Alyssa, I made some inquiries earlier. Sheryl left about half an hour ago. By now,

    "In theory, she wouldn't," Alyssa uttered confidently.She tilted her head slightly and tapped her fingers on her forehead. "People don't get alarmed when an inmate is transferred externally for medical attention. However, if an inmate went missing or died, their attention would be drawn."So, they won't take Grover's life unless absolutely necessary. With that in mind, I'm certain Sheryl has found somewhere to keep Grover confined. Now that we have a car's license plate number, we can dig deeper into this."…A meeting regarding the bid for Solana City's A5 real estate project was held in Beckett Group's conference room at 3:00 pm sharp.Given the significance of this project, all of the corporation's board members were in attendance. After all, this was tied to the future of the Beckett Group and the profits of every board member and major shareholder. As chairman of the board of directors, Javier opened the meeting with an address. Jasper, the vice chairman, sat to Javier's l

    Everyone in the conference room exchanged shocked glances. Even so, none of this was entirely unexpected.Justin was the only son Javier had with his late first wife. Beckett Group and the Beckett family were originally meant for Justin to inherit as the eldest son. However, due to Justin's health issues, Javier's second son, Jasper, had been the one to benefit from Justin's health issues and take charge. Now that Justin had returned with a clean bill of health, it was clear he intended to reclaim what he had lost. And joining Beckett Group was the first step in his quest for power.The power dynamics within Beckett Group were poised for a major shift. A leadership change seemed inevitable.At that moment, Rory stepped forward. In a stern voice, he announced, "We will now conduct a vote by a show of hands to decide on Mr. Justin Beckett joining Beckett Group's board as a managing director."As soon as Rory finished, three board members enthusiastically raised their hands.Justin

    Sean was gobsmacked when Alyssa changed into a medical outfit, donned a face mask, and tied her hair back into a neat ponytail. As night fell, her twinkling eyes glistened like stars in the Milky Way, enchanting anyone who stole even a fleeting look."What are you staring at? Haven't you seen me like this before?" Alyssa asked, amused by Sean's dumbfounded expression. But she could tell he wasn't gazing at her with any amorous intent. His eyes reflected only pure fondness and admiration."N-No… It's not that," Sean stammered, scratching his head awkwardly. "I was just thinking—even with just your eyes visible and dressed in a lab coat, you still look amazing."He hesitated before adding curiously, "Did you look like this when you worked with Doctors Without Borders in Luminara?"Alyssa straightened her outfit and replied, "Yeah, something like this."Suddenly, Sean perked up and asked, "I heard that Mr. Beckett once participated in an emergency combat mission in Luminara when

    Alyssa let out a laugh. "Hello, sir. I am new here." She flashed a sweet smile that reached her eyes. "There have been more people admitted here recently, so Ms. Gillis tasked me with helping out at the last minute." "Oh, I see." Since Alyssa mentioned Sheryl's name, despite being new, the bodyguard believed her right away. He said, "Don't wander around aimlessly. There's a male patient who just arrived today. He's extremely important to Ms. Gillis. Go over there immediately and see if she needs any assistance."Relieved that the bodyguard's suspicions were dispelled, Alyssa felt the tension in her body ease. She responded hastily, "Sure, I'll head over right away!"…Meanwhile, at the best hospital in Solana City, Jasper had been transferred to a regular ward for observation after his condition stabilized. However, his collapse in front of the Beckett Group's board members caused a significant stir within the corporation, and rumors started spreading like wildfire.Justin,

    Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

    The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

    Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

    Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country.

It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

    The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

    The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

    Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

    Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

    Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli
