Alyssa stated, "You could get plastic surgery or change your name, but you'll never cover up your past no matter how hard you try. "The clues will show up if we look closer. I choose to keep my silence, not because I am nice. I couldn't be bothered because it's none of my business, that's all."If you try me again, don't blame me for airing your dirty laundry."Liana felt her heart tighten. She was sickened by Alyssa's threat, as though she was sucked dry.…Alyssa and Jameson were gone when Jasper emerged from the rose garden. After the conversation with Jameson, Jasper stood alone like a statue in the chilly breeze for a while.The night had fallen. Jasper arranged for Liana to be driven back to the hospital while he returned to Seaview Manor with Xavier.During the trip, Xavier sweated profusely and apologized furiously to Jasper with a reddened face. "Mr. Beckett, I'm so sorry! Punish me in any way you want! It's all my fault for not doing my research and failing to recog

Jameson arranged a molecular gastronomy dinner for Alyssa, the perfect meal for someone who loved a surprise.The air-flown bluefin tuna was fresh and succulent. The fish and chip amuse-bouche served was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Additionally, the blackfish was extremely fresh and melted in her mouth. In conclusion, every single dish that night was amazing.After enjoying the good meal, she ordered some alcohol. Drinking helped to liven the air.Jameson and Alyssa, both knowledgeable, conversed about a wide range of subjects, including literature, music, and video games. He was able to chat about any topic.What surprised her the most was that they played the same asymmetrical multiplayer game. Both of them loved playing the role of killer.Alyssa chatted animatedly on the topic of games. Her face was flushed as she gestured wildly in growing excitement.He merely offered simple replies with a doting smile, allowing her to babble on.After he wined and di

Alyssa's Bugatti disappeared into the night. Jameson nudged his glasses with an uncontrollable smile. His heart fluttered with burning passion.…The La Voiture Noire sped on the flyover. Alyssa rolled down the window to enjoy the night breeze. She fell into deep thought while staring at the cityscape across the river."Ms. Alyssa, have you warmed up to Mr. Schmidt? That was fast." Clutching the steering wheel, Sean asked in a stuffy manner."I guess so. We had a lot to talk about.""He might have saved you before, but he had also stalked you to our neighborhood. You should be careful around him," Sean grumbled."Maybe he did so because he recognized me and was curious to know more. I think he's a decent fellow after two meetings with him. Sometimes, he does sound a little funny, though. Is it because Kontina is more liberal than us?" Her eyes sparkled, and she added, "Most importantly, he is playing the same game as me! He's my soulmate! We even made a pact to crush the newbie

Liana was terrified and lost when she got back to the hospital. Alyssa's threatening words echoed in her ears. She bit her nails anxiously and paced her room."No, I can't let this go on! She's the daughter of the Taylor Family, not to mention that she's a snake. Now that she has learned about my history of studying in Mosgravia, she'll only dig deeper!"Liana couldn't sit back anymore. She needed to handle the matter proactively. Trembling, she dialed Curtis' number. It took him a while to pick up. "What's up? It's late …""Curtis! Alyssa Taylor is looking into me. She might find out about our relationship soon." Gaze smoldering, she felt her throat catch fire. "You must leave Solana City as soon as possible." "Pfft … Is this a trick to ditch me? I will not stop until I get my money.""If Alyssa learns about us, my marriage to Jasper will go down the drain! You won't even get five cents, not to mention five million!" she growled."Fine. Fine. I'll trust you this once, but you

Alyssa yawned. "Curtis must have hated Liana and me after all the torture he's been through these days. If I treat him better, he feel thankful to me and shift his hate to Liana instead. He'll do anything to make her pay.""How smart!" Sean praised her with a smirk. "I couldn't wait to watch their fight!"…After inspecting the hotel's restaurant, Alyssa went back to her office in satisfaction and rewarded herself with a few rounds of games.Six months had passed since she took over the KS World Hotel. The hotel was running well, and business was good. Not only did the hotel maintain its star rating, but it also received the "Most Popular Hotel of the Year" award. However, that alone did not suffice for Alyssa. She was aiming for the "Best Hotel of the Year" award that the Beckett Group had won for five consecutive years.After her appointment at the KS World Hotel, it would be Taylor Group's turn to bag the award.In the past few days, Alyssa accepted interviews from three pop

Liana exerted herself for her birthday party. She was no longer her previous sickly self and mustered all her energy to plan the event. She called up event venues and made arrangements for the dress and makeup. One would have thought she was getting ready for an engagement party.Jasper was not involved in the preparation in any way. Knowing that she was doing much better, he stopped visiting her at the hospital.Liana was obviously upset at his indifference. Still, the birthday party remained her top priority at the moment.The night before the birthday party, Liana tried on the evening dress she had borrowed from Rose after much persuasion.She could not keep the dress from slipping down because the dress had a wider bust. The two maids were sweating with worry, but they failed to keep the dress in place."Clumsy losers! Why did we even keep you around the house?" Liana gave the maids a shove in the heat of the moment. Her face was flushed."Why don't we … get a tailor to alt

Betty was chatting with a few acquaintances at Liana's birthday party."Congratulations, Betty. You'll have a new sister-in-law soon," Mabel remarked with a smile."More accurately, she'll have a new sister-in-law 'again,'" Jessica joked. "Anyway, new is always better. I heard Ms. Gardner is the niece of Madam Sophia. You'll be one big family soon. I bet you all will get along brilliantly."Betty faked a smile. "Get along? What a joke!" Betty scoffed inwardly."I was told that Ms. Gardner and Mr. Beckett are childhood sweethearts who have gone through a lot. I believe she's his true love because he's marrying her right after his divorce."Your brother's really lucky in love. What about you? When will you get yourself a boyfriend and get hitched?"Hearing that, Betty scanned the venue passionately in an attempt to locate Landon.…Landon was in the presidential suite with Jasper. Looking smart in their suits, they sat in front of the gigantic glazed double doors overlooking th

While Liana was enjoying the spotlight at Berenike Hotel, Alyssa was driving her sports car up a winding mountain road and enjoying the night breeze.She sang to the tune of "Burning Revenge" that was playing in the car, seemingly in a good mood. Silas called her at that moment. She picked up and cooed, "Silas!""Aw, I'm melting! I should have recorded you and sent it to Axel. He's going to burn in jealousy!" Silas sounded excited. It didn't take much to make a man happy."Did you call me because you have everything arranged?" asked Alyssa."Yes, it's done. Jonah has made his arrangements too."She replied sweetly, "I trust you and Jonah. By the way, I'm on my way to visit Newton Beckett. I heard that he's the only one in the family who isn't at Liana's birthday party—Sophia has dragged everyone else there."I know he enjoys company and can't stand loneliness, but he never tells anyone because he doesn't want to burden them. I should keep him company because he adores me."The l

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

"Don't say that. You've done really well so far!" Xavier said gently, his voice a steady anchor as he tried to comfort Julien.He continued, "Many people spend their whole lives unable to quit even common drugs. The substance Mr. Beckett took is far more potent. The fact that he's found any relief at all is remarkable."Jasper's senses gradually returned, but he was left drained, and his eyes struggled to focus. "Julien…" "I'm right here," Julien murmured, leaning in to gently wipe the tears and cold sweat from Jasper's face with a tissue. Struggling for breath, Jasper rasped, "Keep my condition… a secret… especially from her." Julien didn't need to ask who he meant. It had to be Alyssa. It wasn't pride that fueled Jasper's plea. It was something deeper—a desperate wish to shield Alyssa from the sight of his brokenness, to spare her the disappointment of seeing him like this.Xavier helped Jasper to stand before addressing Julien. "Dr. Lovelace, I hope you understand—the f

Xavier gasped for air, his eyes fixed on the washroom door, now barricaded. He felt a sudden, clammy dread. Lost in his throes of addiction, Jasper's eyes glazed over as he succumbed to the familiar pull of unconsciousness. He was a sitting duck, helpless and at the mercy of whatever came his way. With a fierce glare, Xavier snatched up a mop and stormed to the door, his voice sharp and strained. "Who's there?"A steady and low voice came from the other side of the door. "Mr. Hall, it's me. Julien." Xavier's grip loosened, the mop clattering to the floor as tears burst forth. "Dr. Lovelace!" "Don't panic. I'm the only one out here. There's no one else here." Julien's voice softened, laced with urgency. "Jasper is having an episode, isn't he? Let me in so I can take a look at him."Hastily wiping his face, Xavier shoved the cart aside and fumbled with the lock. The door creaked open, and Julien slipped inside, lithe and precise, locking it swiftly behind him. "Dr. Lovelace,

Alyssa's body trembled, disappointment and shock flashing in her eyes. "Jasper…" The reporters' cameras clicked furiously, capturing Jasper's retreating figure. The crowd exchanged puzzled glances."Jasper, where are you going?"Landon, dumbfounded, instinctively moved to chase after him, but Xavier grabbed his arm, stopping him forcefully. "Mr. Harper, leave him to me!" Without another word, Xavier took off after Jasper.A strange unease settled over Landon as he stared at the open door, a sense of impending doom creeping in."Landon, stay here and watch over Lyse. Julien has disappeared—I'm going to find him!" After saying that, the grim-looking Jonah strode out of the room too. "Hey! You—" Landon clenched his jaw in frustration. "Why am I always left behind to clean up the mess?"Meanwhile, the reporters surged forward, swarming Justin.Sheryl tried to shield him behind her, but in heels, she was no match for the jostling crowd. She was shoved about, her outfit rumpl

Mandy remained by Remy's side in the hospital ward, never once leaving him as he lay unconscious. At this moment, like countless other Cyrrisians, she was also watching the shocking turn of events at Beckett Group's press conference unfold through her phone. She saw Julien's unexpected appearance and how he presented his evidence, turning the tide just as Jasper was engulfed by public criticism. Though pride and relief filled her heart, a deep concern lingered.Julien and Jonah had not spoken of it, but everyone in the family could tell—they had broken up. Julien had left for Mosgravia without a word of farewell, only calling her once in haste to say he was fine. Jonah, on the other hand, rarely returned home, and when he did, he looked drained, his once-bright eyes now clouded with gloom that refused to lift.Mandy's heart ached for them both, yet she had no idea what had driven them apart.Now that Julien had returned to support Jasper, there was a chance he would cross pa

Jasper's eyes glimmered as he walked to Julien's side. His trembling hand found Julien's shoulder, gripping it firmly. They exchanged a solemn look. No words were needed.Sheryl's heart pounded with urgency, sweat beading on her forehead. The evidence was undeniable—she had no immediate way out. All she could do was lash out in a desperate attempt to sow confusion."Even with these reports, all they prove is that Mr. Jasper didn't do drugs. It was just a misunderstanding! How can you accuse Mr. Justin of orchestrating this?"Alyssa stepped forward, her expression glacial. A smirk played on her lips as she questioned, "If Sir had nothing to do with it… does that mean you did?"Sheryl's eyes widened in fury. "Sir and I have never—"She cut herself off abruptly, her breath hitching. A cold sweat broke over her skin. She had just called Justin "Sir" in public—his greatest taboo.Alyssa. That bitch. She had set her up.Justin's pale face remained unreadable, but the tension in his
