LOGIN"If you had any brains at all," Justin said coldly, "the laboratory at Domere Mountain wouldn't have been wiped out. Don't you think you should pay for such a foolish failure?""Remy was the one who betrayed you… not me…" Sheryl rasped, clutching the sheets tightly. "What did that fucking incident have to do with me? Isn't this… all because of your own arrogance… your blind confidence in yourself?"If you hadn't trusted him so much… If you'd listened to me and gotten rid of him earlier… things wouldn't have turned out like this, would they?"The words poured out, carrying all the resentment she had buried for so long. She had endured everything in silence, believing that if she gave him her loyalty, he would at least grant her a dignified end. She had been wrong. Everything had been a one-sided delusion. She had been used, manipulated, drained of all value, then discarded like trash. She was a fool. A complete fool!"Say whatever you like," Justin replied indifferently. "I wo
"Tonight?" Gustav blurted out—not in fear, but in sheer surprise. "I-I haven't prepared anything.""You don't need to," Justin said calmly. "I've already arranged everything."He slowly opened his eyes, a cruel smile curling at his lips. "Head over there now. Intercept their vehicle and take them out on the spot. You won't need to worry about anything else. Someone will handle the aftermath."I spiked their drinks earlier. The drugs should be kicking in soon. All you have to do is finish the job."Still puzzled, Gustav frowned. "Then why not just poison him outright? He was on your turf. Wouldn't that have been easier?"Justin let out a cold laugh, "Mr. Holm, since you've chosen to follow me, shouldn't you prove your worth? If I do everything myself, what exactly are you here for?"Gustav's expression stiffened. "Understood. I'll catch up with them now.""As long as you get rid of him tonight, ten million dollars will be transferred to your account immediately."Gustav's eyes l
Zachary handed the wine glass back to Justin and asked casually, "Any progress on your plan to take over Beckett Group?" "The proposal for the new pharmaceutical research center has been presented to the board. Half of them are on board," Justin replied evenly. "I'm close to winning over the rest. Once I secure Javier's approval, we'll be able to move forward with the project."When that happens, I'll suspend all existing projects under Beckett Group. The funds from Project A5 will be fully redirected into the new pharmaceutical research center." In other words, Project A5 had been nothing but a front. The partnership with KS Group was merely a way to cushion losses during the transition. At the same time, he intended to drag the Taylor family down with him. If the ship sank, they would sink with it. He had no regard for the Taylors. All he wanted was Alyssa. Zachary raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. "Good. You've finally done something that doesn't irrit
Though Jasper was surprised, his thoughts were too tangled for him to dwell on Dexter's words. He replied offhandedly, "Oh? Let me know when you'll be arriving. If you've got time, I'll treat you to a meal." "Of course we're meeting. I'll make time even if I have to crawl through trenches or jump out of a plane to do it!""No need to go that far."Jasper fell silent for a moment before asking, "What brings you to Solana City?" In a lowered, mysterious tone, Dexter replied, "If I tell you, it's for your ears only.""Then maybe it's better you don't. I'm not good at keeping secrets."Dexter snorted. "Forget it, then. We've fought side by side—we're practically brothers. I know you well enough. You'd probably spill secrets even from the grave." Jasper was left speechless. "Well, truth is, I'm here on an escort mission with the king of Kontina." "The king?" "I'll tell you the rest when we meet. It involves the royal bloodline—long story."Jasper had no interest in another
No. Justin was anything but normal. He was a psychopath, a devil, a madman with blood-stained hands—someone who killed for pleasure. "Even though I helped dispose of the body, Mr. Newton kept Mr. Justin's murder weapon hidden away. The weapon is still stained with her blood, even after all these years. Mr. Justin's DNA is on it as well."As long as we hand it over to the authorities, the truth behind that murder will come to light. With me, an accomplice, as a witness, we can prove that Mr. Justin killed her!""But that happened 20 years ago," Jasper said, his tone heavy. "Justin was still a minor back then. It won't be that easy to persecute him.""At the very least, we can keep him in check and drag him down from his position as president!" Jasper fell silent, his expression dark. After a moment, he said, "Ben, do you really think Beckett Group is all Justin wants?"Ben froze, taken aback. "What he wants is control over all of Solana City. Beckett Group is just a stepping s
Newton and Ben exchanged a glance, their expressions conflicted and grim. From their solemn faces, Jasper could tell they were about to reveal something important. Calmly, Newton said, "Jasper, this is the transfer agreement for all the assets and shares under my name. I've already signed it. From now on, everything I own will belong to you."I've also drafted my will in the presence of my lawyer, Ben, and my private physician. It is legally valid. No one can alter it, even if they try.""Grandpa…" A sharp pain pierced Jasper's heart. "I have no control over the shares your father holds. However, with mine and Alyssa's combined, you will have enough to contend with Justin when the time comes. That said, the transfer cannot be a simple handover. It will require approval and voting from the board." Newton lowered his gaze and pushed another file toward Jasper. "So, this will come in handy when things reach a critical point."Jasper paused before leaning forward to pick up th
"You cannot allow the others to read your mind through your actions. It's a risky behavior," Javier cautioned Betty."Got it, Dad."Then, Javier made a video call to Jasper. Jasper's stoic face appeared on the screen.Seeing that, Betty clung tighter onto Javier's arm in an attempt to put on the act of
All that could be heard in the room was Alyssa's soft breathing as Jameson remained by her side like a silent protector.As she turned in her sleep and a soft whimper escaped her lips, Jameson swallowed hard, feeling a rush of heat surge through his veins.Women had always thrown themselves at him all
After escaping from Landon that night, Lauren found herself unable to sleep. Upon returning home, she discovered her injuries. She had a severe scrape on her elbow that was bleeding and oozing pus. The stinging pain brought tears to her eyes.As she had hurt herself after sneaking out, she kept quiet
Alyssa was quiet on the way from Belbanks to Solana City. There was no hint of her good mood from days ago. Her face was shrouded in gloominess.Back at the hotel, she kept Sean out and locked herself in her office. Then, she plunged into her investigations about Lyla's incident years ago."The annive
