Chapter 303

Author: Ginger Sue
"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

    "It's way better than welcoming that scandal-ridden, shameless bitch into our family and letting the Gardners leech off us. We've only announced the engagement without an official party. It's easy to cut them off," Betty concluded."Shut up and eat your meal!" Sophia glowered at Betty. She was frustrated at her thoughtless daughter for touching the sore spot.Javier looked more sullen than before. Sophia's misstep had dragged the Beckett Group through the mud once more. Thankfully, the internet was focused on Liana's scandal-ridden past at the time being. If not, the Beckett Group would become a joke due to the scandal surrounding Liana's cheating and the existence of the bastard child."Madam Sophia!" The butler shuffled into the dining hall with a troubled expression. "Ms. Gardner is out there. She demands to meet with you."Sophia's face crumbled. She felt as if she was on pins and needles. "Go meet with her. We're family, after all," Javier chimed in frostily, eyelids droop

    Covered in a cold sweat, Sophia returned to the dining hall with a heavy heart. She couldn't believe that Liana, whom she had groomed, had turned against her and threatened her.She was not afraid of Liana spilling the beans because there was no hard evidence that could incriminate her. Still, she noticed that Javier was not as crazy about her as before. Therefore, she was vigilant of any potential trouble that might affect her standing in the Beckett Family. "Javier, Lia is in the wrong, but she was a child who grew up in front of your eyes. You know what a nice and thoughtful kid she was."Now that my sister is in prison, and my brother-in-law is in a coma, their family is in huge financial trouble. That poor thing is too scared to face the debtors at home. I feel sorry for this poor girl that I've raised."Sophia clasped her dainty hand on the back of Javier's stiffened hand. Tearing up, she argued, "Javier, you have always been forgiving and generous. "Why don't we help Li

    Afterward, Jasper left the dining hall with a frosty demeanor, leaving Sophia shuddering at the sight of his cold-blooded figure.At the same time, Javier withdrew his hand from beneath hers and stood up with a stern look. "Jasper is right. The Gardners brought this upon themselves. "We, Becketts, have helped them many times. It would be abetting evil if I continued to assist them after all their wrongdoings."You should stop meddling in their family affairs from now on. We need to sever ties with these toxic relatives!" Javier left the table indignantly."That's right. Mom, why do you even care about Liana? Let that bitch sink or swim." Betty chewed on the steak with puffed cheeks as she expressed her opposition."You only know how to eat! What else do you know?" Sophia was gripped by anger. No longer caring about her manners, she threw a dinner roll at Betty.She had underestimated Jasper, who was far more stone-hearted than his father. She had no choice but to use her savings

    "Grandpa, how are you feeling these days? Let me know if something doesn't feel right." Jasper knelt on one knee by Newton's wheelchair and glanced up at his grandfather. His eyes were clear, bright, and reminiscent of his teenage years.He further suggested, "Why don't you move back to Seaview Manor? That way, Mrs. Rosie and I can better look after you.""Why would I? Your dad and his wretched wife will only shave years off my life!" The thought of Sophia gave Newton a headache. He let out an exasperated sigh. "I have sworn not to move back until Javier divorces that woman. I'm fine here. The secret to longevity is to keep them out of sight anyway!"Jasper flashed a bitter smile. He felt helpless in front of his stubborn grandfather."This villa was home to Mr. Newton and Madam Doris. He's unwilling to leave because it feels and reminds him of Madam Doris," the thoughtful Ben explained with a smile."Ben, I am increasingly senile, I think. Sometimes, I am delusional." Newto

    After a tumultuous period, the chaos finally died down.Alyssa masterfully set in motion a butterfly effect that led to the downfall of the Gardner Group, using her pawn, Curtis Halloway. While the Beckett Group was caught up in the turmoil, it did, at the very least, prevent Jasper from marrying Liana. As a scandal victim, Jasper didn't suffer significant damage apart from the temporary embarrassment due to being the subject of public gossip.One day, while Alyssa was playing two rounds of games in her office, Sean peeled some grapes for her. He took the opportunity to report on some developments."Mr. Cyrus provided an update on Rosaline Kirkman's case. It will soon be brought to the district court. Currently, no reputable attorney is willing to defend her because the evidence is rock solid. Nobody likes to fight a losing battle, so I believe she's looking at a minimum sentence of 20 years."He leaned in attentively and fed her a grape. She ate it with a satisfied squint and

    Soon, "Rose" sent Alyssa a message.Rose: "Hey, want a round?"Lucifer: "I'm signing off. Maybe next time."Rose: "Can we meet for coffee at KS World Hotel's café?"…Alyssa hastily showed up at the hotel café on the third floor a few minutes later. The café was rather empty at that time of the day. She spotted Jameson sitting alone near the glazed double doors. The colors of the sunset danced on his hunky figure in what was an eye-catching scene."Jameson." Alyssa walked up to him, astonished. "Since when were you here? Why didn't you hit me up?""I didn't want to distract you. I heard you were busy, so I decided to wait here in the café." He smiled and showed his phone. "But I noticed you were online in the game, so I thought it would be okay to invite you out.""What would you like to drink? It's on me." Alyssa couldn't help but admire Jameson's thoughtful plan. Somehow, she felt as though she had let him down, even though it was him who had made an unexpected visit.

    After returning from a management meeting, Jasper rested on the leather chair in the Beckett Group president's office, visibly exhausted.News of his breakup with Liana must have spread within the company. Nonetheless, not one employee in the building dared to gossip about him lest they got into trouble.As the vice chair of the board of directors, Jasper was de facto yielding the most power in the company. Somehow, that did not bring him any happiness at all."I'm surprised that Sophia was able to pay off the Gardners' debts. It looks like she has siphoned quite a lot of money. This is the perfect time to pay it all back." Xavier gloated at Sophia's misfortune."Henry was her tool to collect wealth, but he's in jail now. The fact that she could afford to pay the tens of millions in debt goes to show that she has other channels of getting the money." Jasper's half-opened eyes gleamed dangerously."Could she have made money … from that luxury store, EV Concepts?" Xavier widened his

    The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

    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.
