Chapter 266

Author: Ginger Sue
After nearly a week spent in the Investigative Bureau, Sophia finally walked out, heaving her tired body like a lump of sand. Without her makeup and skincare routine, she seemed to have aged an additional decade. Even her hair had more gray strands than before.

She avoided the crowd of reporters and decided not to go home first. Javier would probably pass out at the sight of her. So Betty accompanied her to a beauty parlor, where she could wash up, pluck away her gray hairs, and put on some mak

    Neil pressed on, "She looks like your wife, doesn't she? You used to say Ms. Alyssa and your wife were so alike—in both appearance and personality—that they seemed like exact copies of each other.""My wife… Feli—"A deep frown creased Winston's face. Suddenly, a sharp, agonizing pain tore through his head. He clutched his head frantically, gasping for breath. "Mr. Taylor!" Unable to bear seeing him in such pain, Neil hurriedly said, "It's alright. Don't force yourself. Let's stop if you can't remember…"Winston lowered his head, his hands tightening around the blanket on his lap. Then his fingers spread, the veins on the back of his hands throbbing visibly. "Ci… Ci…" he murmured, the name etched deep within his heart. "Mr. Taylor, you just said your wife's name! Do you remember her now?" Neil exclaimed, dropping to one knee beside him, his eyes brimming with tears. Cici—also known as Felicity Whitaker—was Alyssa's mother's birth name. In Kontina's top-secret files, she w

    "Well, everything is going pretty well for me here in Mosgravia. The only problem is that I'm bored of the local women. They're no fun anymore. After fooling around with them, I realized women from Cyrris are far more enjoyable—especially with their slim waists and soft bodies," Zachary said. Used to Zachary's vulgarity, Justin replied calmly, "If it's women you want, I can arrange that. Just tell me how many, and I'll send some over.""There's only one woman I'm interested in.""Go on.""It's the woman working for you—the caretaker with the last name Gillis." Zachary's voice turned dark and mocking. "She's been on my mind since the last time I saw her. I can't seem to forget her."Justin pressed his lips together, his dark eyes flickering. He glanced at Sheryl, who stood behind him, unaware of the situation. With a slight wave of his hand, she understood the signal and quietly left the room. "What? Can't bear to part with her?" Sensing Justin's silence, Zachary chuckled coldly

    "Let's give the new pharmaceutical research center further thought. Meeting adjourned."Justin's face was as pale as a sheet and as cold as ice. Unable to continue the meeting, he stood by the window after everyone left, backlit by the light, staring at his dimmed phone screen with a vicious gaze. A few minutes later, another call came in from a private number. He swiped to answer and slowly raised the phone to his ear, his jaw tight and sharply set. "Oh, Justin, my dearest nephew, I thought you were too afraid to answer my call," said Zachary mockingly. Justin curled his lips into a stiff smile, as if it had been carved into plaster with a knife. "Of course not, Uncle Zachary. Not when you're my mother's only living relative. I was in a meeting earlier, so I couldn't answer.""I suppose you're a busy man now, Mr. Beckett, occupied with all your work. I was just wondering whether you're truly capable of managing the corporation you plundered."A dark gloom surged in Justin's e

    At that moment, Jasper felt as though an arrow had pierced his chest. His heart suddenly melted. Originally, Alyssa planned to force herself to stay awake for a little longer. At the very least, she wanted to remain awake until the wee hours of the morning. Nevertheless, she fell into a deep sleep within five minutes of closing her eyes. She felt completely at peace.Whenever Jasper was by her side, she always felt utterly reassured. It was as if she could overcome every challenge and every obstacle in the world.Jasper gazed quietly at Alyssa's beautiful sleeping face. After she drifted into a deep slumber, he could not help leaning forward and pressing his lips gently against hers.Even if she hadn't asked, he wanted to keep her company too. Even if blood battles awaited him after tonight, he was powerless against the greed of his heart to hold on to this precious moment. It wasn't until daybreak that he finally rose stiffly to his feet. Step by step, he walked toward the wi

    "No way… There's no way in hell!" Alyssa exclaimed, glaring at the doctor with reddened eyes. Like a stubborn mule that had lost all control, she broke down and lashed out uncontrollably. All her poise had vanished, leaving behind nothing but pained madness. "Our family is rich. We're filthy rich! I want Jonah's eye restored. I want his eye to be exactly like it was before! You people had better make sure he's cured!""Ms. Alyssa… We truly did our best," the doctor replied dejectedly. Even so, he didn't blame Alyssa for her impulsive reaction. He understood the depth of her anguish. "Please try to focus on the positives. Mr. Jonah still has one eye. Besides, our hospital produces prosthetic limbs and eyes of exceptional quality. Superficially, they look almost identical to the real thing, so Mr. Jonah's appearance won't be affected—" But Alyssa refused to listen. She cried, struggled, and wailed. Her screams echoed throughout the entire corridor. "Stop it, Lyse. Calm down. Y

    Remy widened his eyes in shock. He was already drenched in sweat. He yelled, "Jasper, watch out!" As much as he wanted to dash toward Jasper to help him, he was too far away. He wouldn't be able to reach him in time. Seeing the glistening blade in Uri's hand aimed straight at his chest, Jasper's heart pounded. Though only a few seconds passed, he struggled with the dilemma.He had a gun in his hand, and three bullets remained. Given that Uri was within close range, those three bullets would be more than enough to take him down for good.But if he did that, he would be committing murder. Did he truly want someone's blood on his hands? Was killing Uri the only way to resolve everything?In that split second, Alyssa's vibrant smile flashed across his mind. Her smile was so brilliant that it made his heart race. It was like a ray of sunshine illuminating his icy life, sending warmth from the depths of his heart to every part of his body. He didn't want his hands stained with blo

    Rose immediately paled. Her mind went blank like she had been struck by lightning. She panicked and was at a loss for what to do.Had she really just insulted Alyssa's brother right in front of her? Oh, that was a grave blunder!Jasper sat calmly and observed the situation, barely concealing a smile.

    Jameson stood outside the hall in a modest, dark gray tailored suit, a stark contrast to his extravagantly dressed family members. His neatly slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses added an intellectual touch to his appearance."Jimmy, let's … let's go home. I'm scared …" Lily mumbled, tugging tim
