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

Daughter? Her daughter?Liana was shaking incessantly. Her temples throbbed, and her mind went blank. Once pointed out, everyone could see the resemblance between her and the little girl."That's impossible … Impossible!" she mumbled like she was put under a spell."Hah. How ridiculous!" Curtis stared at her pale face with a vile smile. "How could you call yourself a mother if you can't even identify your daughter? A poor excuse of a mother!"The audience gasped. The revelation sent a ripple of shock and unease in the crowd. Half of the audience stared at Liana, who was losing it on the stage. The other half was focused on Jasper, who clenched his jaw icily. The poor man just got cuckolded in public."Lia, what's going on?" Sophia was close to losing her composure. She tugged at Liana hard and hissed, "Who's this guy, and how did he sneak in? What's between you and him?"On the other hand, Rosaline lurched at Curtis in anger because she was terrified of being exposed. "You filt

Curtis' explosive claims dropped a bombshell at the venue."Oh my God! Is that filthy and vulgar man Liana Gardner's lover? What's wrong with her taste in men? Why would she go after that man when she has Jasper Beckett?""You might not know this, but people sometimes get tired of the good stuff and go for wild game meat instead.""How could she give birth to his child and then dream of marrying Jasper Beckett? She's so cruel! That child is her flesh and blood!""This is shocking news!""Crap … Jasper must be so ashamed of being cuckolded!"Landon put a hand in his pocket and marched over to pick up the test result from the floor amid the chaos. Frowning, he double-checked the result before bringing it to Jasper. He deliberately raised his voice and spoke clearly so that everyone around him could hear. "Jasper, the organization that issued the result, is the leading authority in the nation. The result is likely legitimate."Jasper pursed his lips and slowly closed his eyes. To

Everyone turned to Rosaline in shock. She was terribly pale. They knew that the police wouldn't make the effort to arrest her if they did not have solid evidence.The arrest basically confirmed that Rosaline had been involved in contract killing.Rosaline's ears rang at the sight of the shiny handcuffs on her wrists. Her vision went black in despair.What happened? Why did it end in this way? She had hired a reliable hitman, who was paid handsomely, to get rid of Liana's out-of-wedlock daughter. The murder even happened abroad. How did the authorities find out about it?"Rosie! Rosie!" Andrew was horrified by his wife's arrest. He ran over to stop the policemen. However, he suddenly blacked out, collapsing while grimacing and clutching his chest."Call the ambulance!" Javier frantically requested help to move Andrew to a corner.Meanwhile, Landon was dumbfounded by the situation. He gasped, "Fuck! Fuck! Bro, your ex-mother-in-law is arrested for murder! That's the juiciest goss

"Do I look pitiful, dumb, and laughable to you?" Jasper's voice was surprisingly scorched. He forced a bitter smile.Landon shook his head with seriousness. "No, Jasper. I'm your only friend and best bud. I won't laugh at you no matter what happens. It's just … a pity.""A pity?" Jasper closed his raging eyes and mentally shredded the memories of Liana at the birthday party."It's not a pity. If anything, I was blind and bad at judging her character. I deserved everything that had happened to me.""No, it's not that." Landon sighed wistfully. "I think it was a pity that you missed the chance of making your marriage work in the three years, all because of Liana. You could have been happy with Alyssa instead of turning into enemies like now. Don't you think?"Jasper froze up at the possibility of a happy life with Alyssa. He fell into a daze, replaying memories."Jasper, can we not get a divorce? It's because … I love you."A loud ringing persisted in his ears, along with a terrib

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

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,
