Chapter 29

Author: Ginger Sue
The truth was, Jasper not only failed to experience true love, but he also felt increasingly helpless in this relationship.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Jasper responded, and Xavier entered the office with a document.

"I've looked into it, Mr. Jasper. KS World Hotel returned Elysian Home's products and terminated all collaborations with Gardner Group nine days ago. Taylor Group hadn't exposed the quality issue to the media at that time. It was more of the public's assumptions."

Jasper knew the series of events that took place after that. Next, Liana announced their wedding and hired ghostwriters to attack Alice.

Only then did Taylor Group expose Gardner Group for their quality issue, leading to the current crisis.

Gritting his teeth, Jasper took an aspirin to alleviate the headache. His hands were shaking.

"I heard there was a vice general manager named Michael at KS World Hotel. He received a huge sum from Gardner Group before Ms. Alyssa was appointed. She fo

    Jasper returned to Seaview Manor, completely drenched. Rosie hurried over with a cloth, but he waved her away. He headed upstairs with a long face."W-What's wrong with him? Did someone offend him?" Rosie asked in concern. "You should comfort him later. He had been deceived," responded Xavier."Huh? He's sharp and smart, though. He had been deceived? Have you reported to the police? We have to call the cops." Rosie was surprised.Xavier shook his head. "It's … It's complicated. The police can't do anything about it. Fortunately, justice prevailed over evil.""I told him to download an anti-scammer app long ago. He just wouldn't listen. Look at him now. He's a victim."Xavier smiled bitterly at the thought of Jasper having finally met his match. It wouldn't have been this serious if it was money-related, but the liar made use of Jasper's pride!… A pale-faced Jasper headed upstairs. He appeared lifeless."Mr. Jasper, Ms. Gardner is here. Mr. Javier is asking for you. He's

    "I told Ms. Gardner not to touch the box on the headboard because it's important to you." Rosie looked at the angry Liana ambiguously.Rosie intentionally mentioned how much Jasper cared about Alice's gift to provoke Liana into revealing the truth."I threw it away," Liana confessed angrily, just as Rosie had anticipated.Fury filled Jasper's eyes as he asked, "Where is it?" "Jasper, why do you care about a gift from Alice? You're divorced. I'm your fiancée. Have you considered my feelings when you cherish her gifts?" Her eyes became teary. Her acting was so natural, thanks to Sophia's teaching."I'm asking you. Where is it?" Jasper's tone turned cold, and he ignored her tears. Shocked, she forgot to keep up her act and stammered, "I-It's in the trash bin in the backyard …"Jasper ran to the backyard. He was drenched in the rain instantly. He rolled up his sleeves and searched through the trash bin for the box."Jasper! Stop! Look how filthy it is!" Liana yelled from the corr

    Liana walked away, sobbing.The maids were gushing about her hysterics. Her visits never failed to end up with antics and her leaving the place with tears. They wondered if she deemed Seaview Manor as her personal playhouse.Jasper sat still on the couch. He stared at the jumble of cloth for a long time."Mr. Jasper, it's getting late. Here's some milk. You need to get some sleep." Rosie handed him a glass of warm milk. A heavy sigh escaped Rosie's lips as she gazed upon the ruined suit. "What a shame." Her words meant something deeper."The next time Lia stops by, keep an eye on her. Stop her from entering my room and study. Oh, and Alice's room too," Jasper instructed in a low voice."Don't worry. Your wish is my command. I will watch her every move," Rosie promised confidently.She then added, "Luckily, I locked Madam Alice's room. Otherwise, Ms. Gardner might have sneaked in and caused a mess.""Don't put it that way, Mrs. Rosie. Lia isn't that bad of a person. After all,

    Gardner Group was on the verge of collapse. Not only did they fall from grace, but more than ten of Elysian Home's physical stores in Solana City were now deserted.Worst still, Jasper had decided not to help them out. If they did not come up with a solution soon, they would be done once the funding from Beckett Group ran out.Meanwhile, Taylor Group won the public's favor upon exposing the Gardners' true colors. After a long period of flying under the radar, KS World Hotel was finally gaining some attention."I've been doing as you asked. I've been keeping an eye on Michael ever since you fired him. As you'd expected, he has been in personal contact with Dylan. It happened not only once," reported Sean.Sean held Alyssa's hand as he manicured her nails. He exclaimed, "Everything is unfolding just as you predicted. You totally hit the bullseye. You know what he was thinking.""He embezzled the hotel's funding and conspired with Dylan behind our backs. I guess they have a deep bo

    Landon went to a Trivedian restaurant in the hotel with the lady, Vanessa James. As soon as the dishes were served, Vanessa began to take pictures of the exquisite food. Looking at how naive she was, Landon felt annoyed. "What's with the photos? Haven't you seen food before?"Vanessa reluctantly put her phone away and started to eat in silence.As they neared the end of the meal, the restaurant manager approached and asked, "Mr. Harper, are you pleased with our food today?""Not bad. The texture of the meat was pretty tender. I quite like it." Landon had a questionable private life. But being born into a wealthy family gave him certain refinement in his manners and speech."What are you talking about? The meat was so chewy. It didn't taste good at all." Vanessa slammed the utensils on the table. Landon's face fell in an instant. His gaze darkened. "We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will strive to serve you better next time. Much apologies!" The manager bowed deeply.

    Wearing a slightly frivolous and seductive smile, Landon said, "Let's have dinner tonight. I'll come and pick you up. Tell me what you want to eat. I'll make a reservation." "I have a boyfriend, Mr. Harper." Alyssa frowned, and there was a hint of irritability in her voice."Well, I don't even care that you have an ex-husband, let alone this." When it came to relationships, Landon had always been shameless and unscrupulous. As long as he liked it, he didn't mind going against morality. "If you're afraid, we can do it secretly in my private villa. It's secluded, and my cook has the standard of a three-star Michelin chef. I can tell them to make preparations in advance." Alyssa knitted her brows. "Why isn't my coffee here yet?" she thought.She wanted to splash it in his face to sober him up!Right then, Landon's phone rang. It was a call from Jasper. "I need to answer a call, so please excuse me." With that, he walked away. "What a shameless man! I didn't even ask you to

    As soon as Jasper finished speaking, a sharp scream came from the restaurant. Landon suddenly remembered that Vanessa was still in there. She definitely wouldn't sit still. Letting her stay in the same place with Alyssa alone would surely lead to trouble!"Jasper, something has happened! I've got to go! And I can only meet with you tomorrow!" Just as Landon was about to end the call, Jasper asked, "Where are you?" At this time, another piercing exclamation came through. It was way harsher than the first. "At the Trivedian restaurant in KS World Hotel!" After saying that, Landon immediately headed back to the restaurant. The moment he pushed open the door, he was shocked by what was happening before his eyes. Alyssa was grabbing Vanessa by the hair with her left hand. Her right hand was forcefully pressing her head down onto the table. Meanwhile, Vanessa couldn't move at all as both of her wrists were shackled by Alyssa's other hand. This simply looked like the scene of a

    "Give it up. It's not going to happen," Alyssa said firmly. "I won't eat with you."Landon clucked his tongue. "Why so harsh? Remember how I helped you teach Dylan a lesson? Think of this meal as thanks for that. Can't you do that?"Alyssa smiled mockingly. "As far as I'm aware, Jasper's the one who helped me out. It's inappropriate for you to take credit for something your best bud did.""Have I done anything to offend you, Ms. White? Why can't you give me a chance?" Landon looked her in the eye. "Is it because you already have Jonah? Does he have the guts to tell the world you're his girlfriend? Because I do!""Mr. Harper, it doesn't matter who came first or last when it comes to relationships. But having shame and morals does." Alyssa's simple sentence was enough to make Landon pale. "I may not have the best upbringing, but I do know what shame is.""When I married Jasper, my heart belonged to him and only him. Now that Jonah's my boyfriend, he's all I can see. I don't mind if

    The once lively and fashion-loving Julien now seemed like a star that had lost its light. The radiance that once defined him had vanished. Julien walked past Jonah without stopping. The short distance between them gave Jonah a painfully clear view of the cross-shaped scar on Julien's cheek. His heart wrenched, the pain so intense that his vision blurred. He staggered. "Jonah, are you alright?" Fortunately, Landon was beside him and caught him just in time. Staring at Julien's slim figure, Jonah parted his dry lips, but no words came out.Bitterness filled the back of his throat, and his longing for Julien sent sharp, stabbing pains through his body.Julien stopped beside Jasper, offering him a small smile and a nod as a greeting.Then, his gaze turned fierce as he locked eyes with Justin's hypocritical expression."My name is Julien Lovelace. I was once Mr. Jasper's primary physician. Approximately six months ago, Mr. Jasper made a deal with Jameson to rescue Ms. Alyssa w

    Alyssa stood at the doorway, her slim figure framed against the light, yet she seemed to tower over the room. Her presence commanded attention, filling the hall with an air of reverence and grandeur. From across the room, Jasper's dark eyes burned with intensity. To him, Alyssa was like a golden phoenix, its wings unfurling as it soared, radiating brilliance over everything in its wake. "Lyse!"Jonah and Landon stared in shock. They hadn't expected Alyssa to show up at the press conference. Camera flashes erupted once more."It's Ms. Alyssa Taylor!""We should address her properly now—she's the head of KS Group!" "Wait… Is she here to support Jasper? I thought they broke up?""What do you even know? They used to be in love!" Justin narrowed his eyes at Alyssa's frigid, determined expression. Slowly, his lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.Alyssa met his gaze, suppressing the hatred surging within her. Then, with an air of composure, she turned to the crowd. "W

    "That's rubbish. I never asked you to do anything like that!" Sheryl's bloodshot eyes burned with fury. She clenched her fists, longing to silence Sebastian."I didn't expect you to admit it," Sebastian said coldly. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his phone. After scrolling briefly, he held it up for all to see. "You were wary of me recording our conversations, but you never suspected I'd install a hidden camera in my office. This footage clearly shows you bribing and threatening me. With this evidence, denial is futile!"The crowd turned to Sheryl, their gazes heavy with shock and suspicion. When their eyes shifted to Justin, doubt lingered in the air.Sheryl's heart sank, her face draining of color.As cautious as she was, she had miscalculated. But it didn't matter. She had carried out the task herself, avoiding any direct mention of Justin's orders. Justin could still be saved.It was Sheryl who had fallen short in her responsibilities, and she was ready to tak

    Jasper's eyes blazed with fury as he locked his gaze on Justin, a sharp, determined gleam in his dark eyes. "I will clear my name and restore my reputation, no matter the cost!" he declared, his voice ringing with resolve.The tension between Justin, standing on stage, and Jasper, positioned below, was palpable—like a killer whale facing off with a great white shark. The outcome was still uncertain."I, Landon Harper, swear on my name and the entirety of Harper Group that Jasper never did drugs. The whole situation was a setup!" Landon's voice resounded throughout the entire hall. The reporters buzzed with questions. "Who would do such a thing?"Landon refrained from directly naming Justin, aware that exposing the wolf in sheep's clothing would not be easy. Accusing him too hastily might provide Justin with an opportunity to counterattack, exploiting any gaps in their case.Landon had no fear of tarnishing his own reputation, but he was deeply concerned about the damage it m

    Everyone turned to look behind them.Justin's icy gaze locked onto the doors, his expression dark and foreboding. The light pouring in from outside was blinding, piercing through the shadows like a blade. As the crowd squinted against the glare, two figures emerged, standing tall and resolute side by side.It was Jasper and Landon. Clad in a sleek black suit, Landon bore traces of dust but appeared otherwise unscathed. Jasper, however, was a stark contrast. His clothes were torn and bloodied, his appearance disheveled, but his demeanor was anything but defeated. Standing straight and proud, his frigid stare was enough to make the crowd shrink back, unwilling to meet his eyes."Mr. Justin," Landon began, his voice sharp and cutting, "you've gone to great lengths to keep Jasper from this press conference."Ever the rebel with the air of a street-hardened fighter, Landon didn't mince words. "To stop him, you sent assassins to ambush him. You had your people block his way in the

    Meanwhile, the light above one of Taylor General Hospital's emergency surgery theaters flickered off. Moments later, the door swung open, and a doctor emerged, pulling down his surgical mask. Mandy hurried toward the doctor, her eyes brimming with worry. "How is that poor man doing?" "Mrs. Taylor, it's fortunate you brought him in when you did. Ten minutes later, and we might not have been able to save him. He went into shock from excessive blood loss, but he's stable now. I gave him a transfusion and sutured his wounds. He'll need rest and proper nutrition to recover fully."Relief washed over Mandy, and her tense body slackened. Her knees nearly buckled as she murmured, "Thank God… Thank God!" Once the doctor departed, Mandy instructed her driver to purchase the best blood-replenishing supplements available, sparing no expense.The driver had only been employed by the Taylor family for the past two years, so he was unaware of the true reasons behind Mandy's actions. To him, h

    Soon enough, Jasper and Jonah found themselves surrounded by a horde of fighters. The atmosphere was charged with a vicious, merciless tension that heightened their awareness. They were now in the underground parking lot of Berenike Hotel.This was one of the Beckett family's properties, with Newton overseeing the construction personally.Berenike Hotel had always been the leader among all the five-star hotels in Solana City. Yet, on this day, when a critical press conference was about to begin, Justin chose to start a massacre in the hotel's parking lot, disregarding the potential damage to the hotel's reputation. His actions were utterly insane and perverse. "Shall we each take down ten of them?" Jonah nudged Jasper with his elbow. Narrowing his eyes, he added, "The press conference starts in ten minutes. Think you can wrap this up by then?"A cold, fierce glint flashed in Jasper's usually dull eyes. "I'll take down 15 and leave five for you." "Why only five for me?"Jasp

    The golden iris stood as a symbol of triumph."Ms. Alyssa, we're on track. We'll make it to the press conference on time!" Sean declared, stepping on the accelerator with a fiery look in his eyes. "Safety first," Alyssa reminded him in a calm, steady voice. Surprisingly, at this crucial juncture, she appeared composed. "Taty is due soon, and you're about to become a father. As a family man, you shouldn't be as reckless as before." The thought of his unborn son brought a blissful smile to Sean's face, softening his fiery resolve.Alyssa closed her eyes, though her mind remained in overdrive. The truth was, she was forcing herself to stay alert. Ever since Amber's disappearance, she hadn't had a single restful night. The once carefree Alyssa, who could sleep through anything, was long gone. Her frayed nerves left her in a weakened state, but she held on.She had survived when others hadn't, and that resilience fueled her belief that she could endure again. This time, she wou

    In an instant, the woman burst into tears. Remy, in an alarmed state, scanned the area outside the car. Satisfied that he was momentarily safe, he loosened his grip on the woman, only to discover his palms were damp. The woman's face was drenched in tears. As he stared into her misty eyes, recognition dawned on him—she was the woman who had chased him at the hospital, frantically calling him "Damien". This could only mean she was Damien Taylor's mother. Remy straightened abruptly, putting distance between himself and Mandy. A surge of emotion tightened his chest, leaving him shaken. Silence blanketed the car. Despite her usual composure, Mandy was overwhelmed. Her tears were unstoppable as she gazed at him. Nothing else seemed to matter. At that moment, Mandy's driver opened the car door and climbed in, saying, "Mrs. Taylor, here are the desserts you ordered for Mr. Taylor—"Remy's reddened eyes darkened.
