"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

Zoe Harper was Landon's younger sibling, and her growth into adulthood was a story that unfolded before Jasper's very eyes.As the eldest brother, Landon doted on Zoe very much, just like how Jonah and the Taylor siblings treated Alyssa.After some thought, Jasper relented. "Fine, pick me up."…Night had fallen over the land. Landon had secured a box with the best view on the second floor of the Solana City National Theater, all set to enjoy Zoe's performance.He had also arranged for a camera to be set up in the box. He was excitedly adjusting the camera settings, planning to record Zoe's entire performance.Jasper sat beside him, crossing his slender legs. He shot a disdainful look at Landon, who was behaving somewhat like a paparazzi."The hosting organization will record the performance and present the CD to the performing guest. Quit embarrassing yourself with your amateur skills.""What do you know, you nitwit? My recording is full of love. It's different from the offici

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
