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

    "Ah, my chronic illness has flared up again. It's not a big deal." Newton comforted Alyssa by caressing her head. His face was a shade of sickly grey.Her chest tightened at the sight. She held his right hand and checked his pulse. A moment later, she addressed him sternly, "Grandpa, I will visit you weekly to perform acupuncture. I'll give you a new prescription. You shouldn't slack on taking your meds. I'll get Mr. Gorham to keep a tab on you.""Alice, things are different now. You're Winston's beloved daughter. How could I trouble you? "I heard from Jasper that you are running the Taylor Group's hotel business as well. That must be very stressful for you. You don't have to travel back and forth. Mr. Gorham will take care of me." Newton longed to see Alyssa but worried that the traveling might tire her.She was surprised that Jasper would discuss her with Newton. Jasper had been neglectful and dismissive in the past, but he started thinking about her after the divorce. How ridic

    "Wow!" There was a collective gasp from the audience, followed by an even more thunderous applause.Landon was taken aback by the announcement and shot Jasper a worrisome gaze. Jasper stood frozen with a cold expression, as though he'd turn anyone to ice upon touch. Worse, a spotlight traveled across the audience and hit Jasper like a ruthless mockery. It further highlighted his lifeless face."Lia and Jasper are childhood sweethearts. They've been through a lot to finally settle down. The Beckett family is happy at the news, and we'd like to share the joy with everyone here!"Sophia grasped Liana's hand tightly. Her face was flushed from excitement, and her tone was animated as if she were at a wedding.Liana blushed hard like a new bride. She looked at Jasper affectionately and mistook his stiff expression for nervousness.…At the same time, Alyssa was busy making some desserts for Newton and Lauren in the kitchen when Lauren stumbled in with a pale face and waved her hands.

    Liana was aware of the gossiping. Nonetheless, she lifted her chin like a graceful swan without any hint of anger.The ladies could talk as much as they wanted. At the end of the day, they would look up to her as she started her amazing new life!"Jasper, look!" Landon widened his eyes when he saw the trending topics on Twitter. He hurriedly showed his phone to Jasper.The top trending hashtag, #engagement, was an eyesore to Jasper."I'm shell-shocked." Stunned, Landon hissed in Jasper's ear, "I thought you said you'd break up with Liana? Why did your stepmom announce your engagement instead? You're even on trending topics!"Uncle Javier isn't against the engagement, it seems. What's going on? Are you still with her or not?"Jasper felt his ears buzzing. His body and fingers stiffened. Like a pulled bow, he was close to a breakdown.All of a sudden, the screen that was filled with falling pink petals switched to total darkness."Huh? What's wrong?""Is there a power cut? Or is

    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
