Jasper ended up meeting Landon in a newly opened club in Solana City. Landon's tables were filled with all kinds of wine. He held one right now, belting out his lungs to "Live or Let Die."

Jasper reclined on the luxurious sofa with a shot of whisky in hand. He looked like some sullen Adonis, exuding a strong, potent air even in the dim surroundings of the room.

"So live and let die!" Landon yelled into the microphone.

It was nearly enough for Jasper to crush his shot glass into pieces.

If he had known Landon for two years less, he wouldn't be sitting here keeping the loser company or enduring this torture.

Jasper took a painful swallow of his whiskey.

"My man! Burp!" Landon called, heaving a loud burp before falling onto the couch beside Jasper. He reached out to hook an arm around his friend's shoulders, asking, "How was my singing? Terrific, no?"

Jasper frowned and moved away, making Landon fall flat on his face on the sofa. "You're terrific if you were a donkey in heat."

    "I'm sorry, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Tatiana. Please have a safe trip home," Sean said with a sigh. "I'll be leaving now. But please, contact me if there's anything urgent, and I'll come to your aid immediately!""Alright, alright. You nag more than women do," Alyssa scowled, gently pushing him onward.Sean gazed at her for a moment more before finally leaving with a smile.The sight filled Tatiana up with envy, a bitter feeling rising from her heart to her throat. But she wasn't jealous of her sister at all. Alyssa truly was a marvelous and exceptional woman. It made perfect sense for Sean to have a crush on her instead.Someone as weak and soft-spoken as Tatiana herself would never get his attention.But then, why did Alyssa's ex-husband divorce her?Maybe he had cancer and didn't want to become a burden …Alyssa had booked a VIP room for them at the karaoke. A bone-chilling wail came from the opposite room when they reached its door."So scary!" Tatiana grabbed onto her sister's arm.

    "You really are Little Bastard!" Alyssa cackled joyfully.The man smiled, the coldness in his eyes dissipating instantly. He tucked his glasses back, reminiscing on the nickname he had been called so long ago.Even his father stopped calling him that years ago. Yet Alyssa was still the same old as before, unrestrained and always doing whatever she pleased."You're as beautiful as ever, even after fifteen years, Alyssa.""Hehe … You're not bad yourself!" Alyssa grinned, patting his cheek. The man's smile deepened. He did not shy away from her touch. Now, this was the Alyssa he'd always remembered.She covered her mouth, burping once again. This time, her knees started shaking. She was unable to hold herself up any longer.The man smirked and lifted her into his arms right away, feet off the floor."Hey, put me down!" Alyssa cried, wriggling away from his grasp like a feisty kitten. Her burgundy-red dress made the nicest contrast with her pale, milky skin.Feeling a sudden desi

    Xavier said, "Sir, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to … not to get angry …"Jasper demanded, "Spill it!""Well, um …" Xavier nervously swallowed. "I saw … I saw her open one of the VIP room doors, and then … and then someone wearing spectacles carried her inside …"Something imploded in Jasper's mind. "Which room? Take me there, now!"…Jameson's secretary soon returned with ginger supplements. Jameson fed some to Alyssa and then helped her ease it down with warm water.The sight left his secretary gaping in utter shock. His boss had always been cold-hearted and cruel. One never knew what schemes he had in mind when he looked at you. He barely saw him have any women around too. So, who was this young woman being tended to by his boss tonight?Was this … Was his boss courting her?Tsk! Men truly were no match for women."Are you feeling better?" Jameson asked kindly once the flush reduced from Alyssa's cheeks.Alyssa held a hand to her chest. Her stomach was churn

    Jameson froze up on the spot, his heart clenching painfully for a brief second.Alyssa had fumed so hard her cheeks had gone flushed again. She glared at Jasper, yelling, "How low are you stooping now, Jasper Beckett? Let me go now! I am not going anywhere with you!"Jasper let her scream and pull, never letting go throughout. He felt like nothing more mattered in this world right now besides taking Alyssa away from this place, from this stranger.Seeing her being in a room alone with the stranger, having drunk so much, was unbearable for him. He never expected Alyssa to be capable of something like this."Let me go, Jasper, right—ah!"Jasper bent down and lifted her over his shoulder, hand locking on her waist as he marched straight for the door."Put me down, you jacka—I'm gonna hurl!" Alyssa cried, beating at his shoulder with all her might. Her stomach was churning so badly. She was going to retch at any time."I'm not stopping you." Jasper eyed her sternly and continued wal

    "Not one bit!" Jasper snarled, not holding back his thoughts."Hahaha … You're out of your mind, Beckett!" Alyssa yelled, pulling her hand away from his grip. "What? You can have the love of your life, but I can't see anyone else? What kind of monopolistic, egoistic bullshit is this? I'm not some slave, you jackass!"Her words stabbed into Jasper's heart like blades.He recalled how close Alyssa had been in proximity with the spectacled man, and fury rose in his being once again. Her gaze had been molten and warm, and what could have happened next made Jasper dread.All he felt now was the need to possess her, to keep her and shield her from everyone else."Interesting private life you have, Ms. Alyssa." Pain, rage, and jealousy coursed through Jasper's chest. "Why such a big room all to yourselves? Worried you won't have enough fun?"He was trying to enrage her, to upset her, yet all he seemed to be doing was making himself even more upset. "Pft, hahahah!" Alyssa tossed he

    Alyssa walked back to her VIP room. She was sober, and her good mood had dissipated. What kind of coincidence was she experiencing to be able to meet Jasper here, of all places? Maybe she should get a lucky charm or something to keep her from this shitty luck.Just then, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her arm.Alyssa looked at who it was and smiled when she saw it was Tatiana. "I'm … I'm okay, Taty.""Was that … Was that your ex-husband, sis?" Tatiana asked curiously."Mhm.""Wow! He's so hot!" Tatiana's eyes were wide with admiration. "I thought Jonah, Silas, Liam, and Axel were handsome already. I didn't expect anyone else to be able to top them. "Your ex has that kind of striking hotness, like a beach model or something. Is he really just a company CEO and not some kind of superstar?"Alyssa cupped her forehead, scowling, "Striking hotness, my ass … He's not even an oven.""No wonder Mom said he was hotter than Kris Hensworth! I didn't believe her at first, because s

    Tatiana couldn't take her eyes off of her sister. The scene was even more thrilling than watching an actual action film."You got this, Alyssa!" she cried. Alyssa dodged their assailant's ankle sweep, scowling internally. Was this the time to cheerlead?"Call the cops, Taty!""Oh, okay!" Tatiana quickly took out her phone.Their assailant could never have imagined that his target would be so skilled and equipped to fight back despite how gentle and frail she looked. Seeing that fighting this one would end in defeat, he turned his attention to Tatiana.When he struck out, Tatiana dropped her phone in shock and quickly closed her eyes, fear filling her being.A low grunt made her reopen her eyes.Alyssa had leaped to her defense, using her arm as a shield against the man's sharp blade. The blade sliced through her sleeve and skin, and blood instantly poured out in thick red streams."Alyssa!" Tatiana screamed, bursting into tears.Her sister panted heavily, putting pressure

    Liana was getting blood transfusions at Solana City's private hospital's emergency room.Her face had been so pale earlier that she appeared almost lifeless. The gash on her wrist had been equally gruesome, resembling a grim, bloody snarl.Her mother paced nervously in the hallway, her eyes swollen from countless tears."Alright, that's enough. You're not a child anymore, so stop crying before someone takes a picture and sends it to the newspapers!" Andrew said sternly."So what? My daughter is still in danger! She could leave us at any moment! What kind of father are you if your own pride matters more than your daughter?" Rosaline cried. She grabbed her husband's collar and cried hysterically. "I can't bear to see Liana following in Dylan's footsteps!"Andrew's face turned as purple as a raisin, scrunched up with anger. First, his daughter had done something reckless all because of a man, and now his wife was causing a scene in public. Feeling embarrassed in front of Javier,

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

    Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa. Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks. She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse. With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy. She was counting down the hours until nightfall. After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did. The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table.

    Axel and Amber had only spent half a month together before the former was called back to report for work. The night before his departure, they spent hours lost in each other, their passion unrelenting. Again and again, they exchanged kisses, their love pouring forth in an endless tide."Amber, three months… Just give me three more months." When their fervor finally waned, Axel held Amber close in his arms. They rested against the headboard, leaning into one another, too exhausted to move yet unwilling to let sleep claim them."Once I finish all the missions I've taken on, I'll hand in my resignation. After that, I'll spend all my time with you," Axel murmured, his voice steady with resolve. "We'll go wherever you want. If you want fun, I'll have fun with you. If you want chaos, I'll spend my life going crazy with you."Axel wasn't one for flowery words. He simply spoke from the heart. Right now, his heart only wanted Amber—forever.Amber nestled closer, her soft smile masking t

    "Sir." Sheryl immediately stood and greeted Justin respectfully as he entered the room. "What are you doing here?" Justin's cold gaze swept over her as he strolled leisurely to the couch and sat down.Sheryl quickly explained, "I received a parcel for you from the administrative secretary half an hour ago. I thought it might be something important, something you wouldn't want too many people to handle. So, I waited for you to return and open it personally.""A parcel?" Justin frowned. Why would anyone send him a parcel to Beckett Group, of all places? How strange. Sheryl presented the parcel to him with both hands. He took it from her and then opened it right before her. After removing three layers of wrapping, each from outside and inside the box, the parcel turned out to contain only a plain white envelope. His expression darkened. It felt like someone was toying with him.Then, he looked down and opened the envelope, which contained a stack of photographs. Pinching a co

    "Don't be so pessimistic, Jonah," Alyssa said. Perhaps having just seen Jasper and going through that heart-stopping moment made Alyssa emotional. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "If you truly love someone, you don't need to possess him to find happiness. Isn't it enough to know he's alive, well, and living freely somewhere in this world?""You're right, Lyse." Sorrow filled Jonah's voice as he smiled bitterly. "Julien has already lost and sacrificed too much for my sake. I don't deserve to have such a good man. He'll only find true happiness by leaving me."…After Justin took over as president of Beckett Group, his first move was to wrest control of the A5 Project bid from Jasper's hands.Though Jasper had failed as the leader of Beckett Group, as the eldest son, it was only natural for Justin to inherit the position of power. Justin was aware of lingering opposition within the corporation. Some doubted whether he possessed the decisiveness and singular capabili

    Sebastian understood what Alyssa wanted. There wasn't substantial proof to prove that Jasper had abused drugs in the first place. The substance found in his blood was simply supporting evidence. As long as they found the right opportunity to reveal that, it wouldn't completely exonerate him, but it could at least divert public suspicion."Okay, okay… I'll do that. I'll do everything you say!" Sebastian promised. …After emerging from the Bender residence, Landon took Zayne away to keep him under close watch and ensure Sebastian wouldn't retract his statement. Landon planned to release him only after Sebastian fulfilled Jasper and Alyssa's request."Landon, it's really nice to see you. How's Lauren doing lately?" Afraid of looking at Jasper, Alyssa had no choice but to speak with Landon."She's doing great." A tender look came across Landon's eyes at the mention of Lauren. Landon blushed and continued, "We're now trying for a baby." "Really? That's wonderful!" Alyssa was
