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

Not really. She has no idea he's in love with her. And he's too much of a pansy to be a man and tell her. He wasn't forced into a marriage. He didn't even mention it when they were younger. She's a monster but not like Jasper.

    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

    When the piano concert officially began, Christina Hammond gracefully made her way to the stage, dressed in a velvety navy gown. She took her seat at the piano and proceeded to perform her self-composed song, the one that had catapulted her to fame—"Whispers of the Four Seasons."The audience sat in silence, captivated by the melody.However, Alyssa couldn't tear her gaze away from Christina's exquisite navy dress. It was a one-of-a-kind haute couture piece designed by the renowned fashion designer Sharon, who happened to be Alyssa herself. Sharon's creations were reserved for accomplished and talented celebrities like Christina.Jasper, too, found himself distracted from the performance. His fists clenched, and he trembled visibly. Throughout the performance, he directed an intense and fiery glare at Alyssa.Occasionally, Jameson and Alyssa leaned in to whisper to each other. She nodded and smiled, clearly engrossed in their conversation.Jasper's lips remained tightly purs

    The tension in the air was almost palpable. Caught off guard, Alyssa inadvertently locked eyes with Jasper. She furrowed his brow in annoyance.Jameson, too, found himself unexpectedly caught up in the situation. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with an unemotional façade that quickly transformed into a sheepish expression. "I'm sorry, Ms. Taylor. I had no idea he'd be here when I invited you along. I'll forgo Madam Hammond's autograph. Let's go."Alyssa, however, remained composed. She flashed a cool smile and stood her ground. "No need to worry. I'm perfectly fine. There's no reason to avoid my ex-husband. I want you to get that autograph to fulfill your mother's wish."Jameson widened his eyes at her, seemingly touched by her words. In contrast, her ex-husband's face fell.Jasper could hear her reply loud and clear as they stood not far away from each other.Throughout the concert, he had been seething with anger, and he finally lost it when Alyssa mentioned Jameson's mo

    Alyssa raised her chin and confidently strode toward Jasper. He could feel his heart racing as he watched her approach, his whole body tensing up with anticipation. He desperately wanted to approach her.Frowning deeply, Zoe tightened her grip on Jasper possessively. She could tell that Jasper knew the beautiful Alyssa. More than that, he seemed to care about Alyssa a lot!Just as Jasper believed Alyssa was headed toward him, she breezed past him."Christina!" Alyssa left behind an astonished Jasper and called out to someone with a wide smile."Oh! My sweetheart!" Christina strolled over from the far end of the corridor, waving excitedly at Alyssa as though they were long-lost friends. They evidently shared a close bond.The three men stared agape. Even Zoe was dumbfounded at the scene. Christina had always been distant and aloof. Throughout their three-year mentorship, she seldom praised Zoe and often appeared annoyed.What did Alyssa do to elicit a rare smile from Christina?"

    As they exited the theater, Zoe clung to Jasper, just like how she did when they were younger. She blabbered about her experiences abroad and professed her longing for him.The only difference was that she'd hold hands with both Landon and Jasper when she was a kid. Now, she treated Landon like a servant, completely disregarding him. She only had eyes for Jasper.Landon trailed behind them with a gloomy expression. Even his sister had ditched him after Alyssa rejected him. He started having doubts about his attractiveness.Upon reaching the parking garage, Jasper abruptly came to a stop. He took a deep breath and firmly withdrew his hand from Zoe's grip."Jasper, what's wrong?" She blinked innocently, her hand left suspended in mid-air."Zoe." He turned to her, looking cold and distant, a stark contrast to how he acted around her when they were kids. She froze up in panic. "You're not a child anymore. Some of your behavior is inappropriate.""What's inappropriate about it? Yo

    The night was illuminated only by the solitary presence of the moon. Jasper's Maybach pulled up at the gates of Seaview Manor, and he stepped out alone. He instructed the chauffeur, "Send Xavier home. I'll head in alone.""But Mr. Jasper, we heard thunder on our way back. It will rain soon." Xavier's face was full of concern. The distance from the gate to the manor is quite far. I'll send you in.""I'm fine." Jasper coldly adjusted the knot of his tie. "I feel a little stuffy. A short walk will do me good. You should head back.""Alright, then," Xavier reluctantly agreed but kept a watchful eye on Jasper until the Maybach disappeared from view.With a heavy sigh, Jasper continued on his path toward the manor. Just a few steps later, the ominous sound of thunder echoed through the night.The rain was pouring relentlessly outside. By the time Jasper arrived at the manor, he was thoroughly drenched. The cold fall winds and rain had assailed him mercilessly, further adding to the

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

    Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa. Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks. She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse. With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy. She was counting down the hours until nightfall. After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did. The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table.

    Axel and Amber had only spent half a month together before the former was called back to report for work. The night before his departure, they spent hours lost in each other, their passion unrelenting. Again and again, they exchanged kisses, their love pouring forth in an endless tide."Amber, three months… Just give me three more months." When their fervor finally waned, Axel held Amber close in his arms. They rested against the headboard, leaning into one another, too exhausted to move yet unwilling to let sleep claim them."Once I finish all the missions I've taken on, I'll hand in my resignation. After that, I'll spend all my time with you," Axel murmured, his voice steady with resolve. "We'll go wherever you want. If you want fun, I'll have fun with you. If you want chaos, I'll spend my life going crazy with you."Axel wasn't one for flowery words. He simply spoke from the heart. Right now, his heart only wanted Amber—forever.Amber nestled closer, her soft smile masking t

    "Sir." Sheryl immediately stood and greeted Justin respectfully as he entered the room. "What are you doing here?" Justin's cold gaze swept over her as he strolled leisurely to the couch and sat down.Sheryl quickly explained, "I received a parcel for you from the administrative secretary half an hour ago. I thought it might be something important, something you wouldn't want too many people to handle. So, I waited for you to return and open it personally.""A parcel?" Justin frowned. Why would anyone send him a parcel to Beckett Group, of all places? How strange. Sheryl presented the parcel to him with both hands. He took it from her and then opened it right before her. After removing three layers of wrapping, each from outside and inside the box, the parcel turned out to contain only a plain white envelope. His expression darkened. It felt like someone was toying with him.Then, he looked down and opened the envelope, which contained a stack of photographs. Pinching a co

    "Don't be so pessimistic, Jonah," Alyssa said. Perhaps having just seen Jasper and going through that heart-stopping moment made Alyssa emotional. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "If you truly love someone, you don't need to possess him to find happiness. Isn't it enough to know he's alive, well, and living freely somewhere in this world?""You're right, Lyse." Sorrow filled Jonah's voice as he smiled bitterly. "Julien has already lost and sacrificed too much for my sake. I don't deserve to have such a good man. He'll only find true happiness by leaving me."…After Justin took over as president of Beckett Group, his first move was to wrest control of the A5 Project bid from Jasper's hands.Though Jasper had failed as the leader of Beckett Group, as the eldest son, it was only natural for Justin to inherit the position of power. Justin was aware of lingering opposition within the corporation. Some doubted whether he possessed the decisiveness and singular capabili

    Sebastian understood what Alyssa wanted. There wasn't substantial proof to prove that Jasper had abused drugs in the first place. The substance found in his blood was simply supporting evidence. As long as they found the right opportunity to reveal that, it wouldn't completely exonerate him, but it could at least divert public suspicion."Okay, okay… I'll do that. I'll do everything you say!" Sebastian promised. …After emerging from the Bender residence, Landon took Zayne away to keep him under close watch and ensure Sebastian wouldn't retract his statement. Landon planned to release him only after Sebastian fulfilled Jasper and Alyssa's request."Landon, it's really nice to see you. How's Lauren doing lately?" Afraid of looking at Jasper, Alyssa had no choice but to speak with Landon."She's doing great." A tender look came across Landon's eyes at the mention of Lauren. Landon blushed and continued, "We're now trying for a baby." "Really? That's wonderful!" Alyssa was
