Cyrus Taylor was the youngest son in the family. He had decided on a career in the police force to uphold justice. His childhood ambition came true as he was now chief of the First Criminal Investigation Division in the Solana City Police Department."Yeah! Fuck him up badly!" Silas was influenced by Cyrus' passion and punched against the window. "Can't the police spice up the interrogation? We prosecutors aren't allowed to do so. Don't miss your chance to take revenge for Lyse!"Jonah was speechless at the exchange. The daughters of the Taylor family were regal and dainty, but the sons were thuggish and belligerent, even more so than himself, who had been involved in the underground gangs.When the three invincible sons of the Taylor family joined hands, their target had no way out.…Jasper rushed to the hospital to visit Newton. Landon was worried for him and insisted on tagging along.Jasper sped to the hospital and parked his sports car at the entrance before sprinting into

"What is it? Tell me right here." Jasper never once took his eyes off Alyssa.Landon furrowed his brows as he wondered how to go about it."Jasper! Jasper!" Suddenly, he was spooked by a wailing female voice from afar. Meanwhile, Jasper frowned and straightened up from shock.Lauren was woken up by the screeching voice and stirred in Alyssa's embrace. Her eyes fluttered open as she held tightly onto Alyssa's shirt. "What's going on? Did something happen to Grandpa?""Hey, Lauren, everything's fine. Nothing bad will happen to him when I'm around." Alyssa shot a glare at the distressed Liana and helped Lauren sit up. Alyssa continued, "Lauren, I'll find a place for you to rest. Grandpa can meet you the first thing after he wakes up."Alyssa's emotionless exit put a bullet through Jasper's chest. He felt suffocated by the pain."Jasper!" Liana's eyes were swollen from the crying. She was about to throw herself into Jasper's arms when Landon stopped her coldly. He advised, "Ms. G

"I don't blame you for leaving me and falling in love in Mosgravia. I wouldn't even blame you for giving birth to someone's child." Hatred filled Jasper's eyes. He curled his fists and continued, "But you shouldn't have lied about your severe depression. You used it as a cover to manipulate me into marrying you!""No … That's not it …" Liana started mumbling incoherently as blood drained from her face. The gravity of her mistake finally dawned on her. She lied that she suffered from severe depression to keep Jasper by her side. However, it hadn't occurred to her that Jasper and his mother were the victims of severe depression. Worried that Liana might share his mother's fate, he tolerated her behavior and cruelly abandoned Alyssa, who had loved him deeply.She had never considered the fallout when her cover was blown. Not only did she manipulate Jasper, but she also humiliated his mother. Jasper would never forgive her."You manipulated my feelings with the condition that my m

Liana attracted stares from the hospital staff when she was dragged toward the entrance. Her ego was the last thing she cared about because she had nothing left to lose."Ouch!"Xavier and the bodyguard let go of her at the same time. She fell onto the ground in disgrace."Dude, do you have a napkin?" Xavier asked the bodyguard."Sorry, Xavier. I don't.""Ah, well. I'll ask the nurse for some alcohol swabs later. We'd better disinfect our hands after touching that filthy thing."Xavier spat in Liana's direction. Then, he headed back to the hospital with the bodyguard.Through sheer coincidence, two claps of thunder roared in the night sky. It started pouring a few seconds later.After going through consecutive setbacks, Liana sat blankly on the ground. She lost the energy to stand up in the rain. Her carefully styled hair for the birthday party was a mess. The makeup on her face was like a mix of spilled paint."Jasper, I am your savior. How could you do this to me, you hear

"I've asked Liana to leave. She will not bother me anymore." Jasper stared into Alyssa's unfeeling eyes and swallowed hard."Is that so? Congratulations, then. At least one good thing came out of tonight's debacle. You got rid of a trouble." Alyssa flashed him a sarcastic smile, like a proud and thorny rose. She continued, "I know you are an expert at wrapping up romantic relationships. I wonder if Ms. Gardner has received her 20 million dollars and a villa?"Jasper felt as though he was physically struck by the flash of purplish lightning outside the window. His shoulders were trembling, and his chest was numb from the pain.He was again reminded of the cruel scene where he threw the divorce papers at Alyssa. He stubbornly wanted to escape from the contract marriage without thinking about the hurt he had inflicted on her. His action almost destroyed her pride and ego.The tear-stained divorce paper remained tucked away in his headboard storage.He was afraid to picture Alyssa

After leaving the hospital, Alyssa was plagued by worries about Newton's health. She decided to reach out to Mandy later. As a family of doctors, the Lovelaces were known for their excellent medical expertise in the nation. Therefore, Alyssa would like their help to find a solution to Newton's chronic illness.On their way home, Silas scrolled through Twitter and read out the amusing negative comments about Liana he came across, keeping Alyssa entertained."Hahaha! I'm surprised at how adorable the annoying keyboard warriors seem today! I'd love to frame some of their comments!" Silas teared up from laughing at the myriad of creative hate comments.Alyssa looked out of the window with pursed lips. She felt a rush of frustration when she recalled the golden lapel pin on Jasper that night.She considered all her gifts for him as skeletons from her past—items she'd rather destroy than see with him."Rosaline and Curtis are in Cyrus' control now. Both are at the police station." Jon

"Mr. Jasper!" Mrs. Rosie waddled toward Jasper from the other end of the corridor with bags in her hands."Mrs. Rosie!" Jasper shot up and helped her with the bags. "Why are you here?""I heard from Xavier that Mr. Beckett Senior was hospitalized, and you'd be staying the night. I brought you some toiletries, clothes, and supper. You should share the food with Xavier."Mrs. Rosie led Jasper back to the seat and laid out the food containers."Mrs. Rosie, I'm not hungry. Xavier can have it." He stared at the steam from the hot food. That was the first time he felt a touch of warmth in the long night.Even if he managed to mentally pull himself together after all the chaos, he did not have much appetite."I-I'm not hungry as well! Mrs. Rosie, thanks for the offer!" Xavier shook his head. He wouldn't want to eat before his boss did."Gobble it up, you all!" She felt sorry at the sight of Jasper's exhausted appearance and shoved a piece of cake into his mouth. She added, "Are you r

Overnight, the Gardner family met its downfall while going viral online. Netizens joked that the family was a cautionary tale of law and order and should be given a lifetime achievement award for their "service".Rosaline Kirkman had been arrested and sentenced for contract killing and abetting murder, which did not warrant a death or life sentence, but she had to spend twenty years or more behind bars. As she was 50 years old at the time of sentencing, she should expect to spend the rest of her life in prison.At the same time, Andrew Gardner suffered a stroke from the shock and was sent to the ICU. As a result of delayed treatment due to the chaos at the event, he fell into a deep coma from hypoxia and brain tissue damage."Ms. Gardner, please be mentally prepared. There is a high possibility that your father might fall into a vegetative state." Upon hearing Andrew's prognosis from the doctor, Liana froze by the door. The colors drained from her face.At that moment, the Gard

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,
