"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,

"Justin, physically… are you doing alright?" Javier widened his eyes, clearly surprised by Justin's suggestion. Justin had lived alone in Mosgravia for nearly 20 years. He had never asked Javier for anything or caused him trouble.On the contrary, despite being in a foreign land, Justin extended a helping hand to Javier during two critical moments when the Beckett Group faced difficult times. Thanks to Justin's support, the company managed to overcome those challenges.Thinking about this, Javier began to see Justin in a new light. A wave of remorse washed over him."I'm much better now. Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing on my feet, would you?"Justin offered a slight yet sincere smile. In a calm voice, he said, "Dad, I understand how important Jasper is to you and the company. I've never intended to compete with him. All I want is to share your burdens and help the Beckett Group. "With the bid for Project A5 just around the corner, Jasper, being the responsible person he is, w

"Grandpa, please calm down." After a long period of silence, Justin stepped forward with a warm smile on his face. "You've misunderstood both Dad and me. I've never intended to take over Jasper's place. "I'm already grateful to be alive, even with this broken body of mine. I desire nothing more. Besides, there's no one more suitable than Jasper to lead Beckett Group as its president. So, please don't trouble yourself or get angry over this."Newton stared at Justin, his gaze locked on the faint smile that lingered on his grandson's face. Suddenly, he was struck by a vivid memory—of a young Justin, covered in blood, holding a knife, his lips curling into a sly smirk.Pain shot through Newton's chest, sharp and unrelenting. He staggered, but Justin caught him just in time."Grandpa, be careful!" Newton struggled to catch his breath, his hands clutching Justin's icy ones. His voice trembled as he spoke, "Justin… you wouldn't harm Jasper, would you? That boy lost his mother at such

As Sheryl looked back at the empty corridor, a chill ran down her spine, and the hair on the back of her neck stood on end.She heard someone calling her Liana Gardner. It was a name she had discarded long ago—a part of her past she thought she had buried forever. Yet now, it came rushing back, unbidden and relentless.After all this time, she believed she had severed ties with her old life. But the moment she heard the name that had once been hers for over 20 years, she reacted instinctively, unable to suppress the surge of unease."Ms. Gillis!" A man, who appeared to be the hospital director, approached her with two medical staff in tow. He offered a polite smile and said, "I've prepared this round of medications. Shall we administer them to the subjects today?""How many times have I told you not to call them subjects? They are patients," Sheryl said coldly, fixing him with a sharp glare. "You make it sound like we're running some kind of inhumane experiment."The doctor laug

"Also… my entry pass is missing. That woman must have stolen it from me!" said the healthcare worker. Sheryl's heart dropped. She recalled how someone had called her by her real name earlier. It seemed none of that was her imagination. Cold sweat broke out on her back instantly.She immediately ordered Remy, "I need to meet Sir right now. Check the surveillance footage and find out who had the audacity to provoke us. Then report back to Sir and me as soon as possible!"Remy pursed his lips as he watched Sheryl storm away. …After successfully escaping the hospital, Alyssa rushed into her car. With Sean in the driver's seat, they sped away.While on the road, Sean noticed Alyssa's pale expression and completely white lips. In a concerned voice, he asked, "Ms. Alyssa, did you manage to find Grover? Was he in there? How is he doing?"Alyssa, still shaken and lost in thought, remained silent. Her eyes were dull and grim."Ms. Alyssa, are you alright?" Sean spoke louder. "She tu

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

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,
