"Sophia is a calculative cunt. I'm concerned that they might try something against you. I wanted to give you a heads-up so you can be prepared," said Jasper.Alyssa's clear eyes flickered before she turned away."That's all. I'll leave you to your work now." He shot her another loaded gaze before leaving."Wait, Jasper," she suddenly called out to him. He felt his chest tighten as he swiftly turned back."Why did you tell me all of that? You're the type to look at the big picture. Whoever from the Beckett Group takes over the Ada Kingsley account will still boost the influence and reputation of Berenike Hotel. It's something you've been working on." She threw him a quizzical look. "So, why did you tell me that?""Because I want you to win," he responded with a genuine and innocent look in his eyes. It was a rarity after his many years of hustling in business."And why do you want me to win?""You were once my wife—"She cut him off with a scoff. "You never showed me any kindnes

Two weeks away from Ada Kingsley's wedding, Alyssa was busy updating the proposal from Ada's comments. She also had to oversee the on-site decorations and review crucial documents concerning materials, costs, and manpower. On her worst day, she managed to grab only three hours of sleep.Still, she enjoyed the hustle. As long as there was something in it for her, she would feel invigorated by the frenzy.After joining the team meeting in the morning, Alyssa returned to her office, where she munched on her sandwich and approved documents.Sean knocked on the door to deliver coffee and shook his head at her tired and adorable look. "Eating while working is bad for your health.""I don't have time! I have another fashion event to attend later this afternoon," Alyssa replied, taking a hearty bite of her sandwich without once looking up from the documents."Why is your schedule so packed today? I was about to book a spa for your relaxation during your free time." Sean felt sorry for h

"That's not all! How could they walk the red carpet after Ada Kingsley? Who do they think they are?""I didn't take any photos of them. Just a waste of my storage space.""I know Betty is Javier Beckett's daughter, and I heard that Zoe is Landon Harper's sister. They might not be famous, but they're filthy rich. I bet they paid a huge sum to show up last!"Betty and Zoe entered the venue with satisfaction, thinking that they had garnered enough attention.To their dismay, they found reporters clamoring to interview celebrities like Ada or brand designers. No one wanted to interview the two young ladies at all."This is unacceptable! Are they blind?" Betty stomped when she was given the cold shoulder. "How dare they ignore us? They don't know their stuff! Don't they know I could end their careers if they get on my bad side?""Reporters are only after those who are worth something. They'll come after you like sharks lusting for blood if you're famous, well-connected, or influential

Alyssa did not attend the jewelry show to flaunt her status as Winston Taylor's daughter. She had two goals. Firstly, to address the allegations of snatching the opportunity from Beckett Group through media interviews to stop the speculations. Secondly, she delivered pastries to Ada at the venue, mainly to monitor Betty's movements and gain control over the situation. She would never allow that calculative bitch to gain the upper hand.Ada showed up with a distinguished middle-aged man dressed in a brown suit."Ms. Alyssa, allow me to introduce you," Ada said with a smile. "This is Vincent Carter, the global CEO of AX and a dear friend of mine.""Vincent, this is Alyssa Taylor, the manager of KS World Hotel. She's a talented lady!"Vincent, a native of Yoarkley with blonde hair and blue eyes, hailed from a blue-blooded family."Mr. Carter, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Solana City," Alyssa greeted him with a warm smile as she extended her hand."Nice to meet you t

"Alyssa Taylor should have known such basic rules of the industry!""Of course she does! Maybe she just wanted to take advantage. These businesswomen always play dirty. Perhaps she had used the same tricks to win Ada Kingsley's trust and beat Mr. Beckett!""Tsk tsk. To think that I admired her before. Now, looking at her again, she seems quite shameless."Zoe snickered, feeling victorious for getting Alyssa into trouble. She thought that Alyssa had become too arrogant and decided to teach her a lesson that day, with the best approach being character assassination.Little did Zoe know that Jasper had arrived late and had witnessed the scene. He stood in the shadows quietly and cast an icy glare at the gloating woman.Tall and gorgeous like a deity, he stood stiffly in his suit and wore a glum expression."Mr. Beckett, that girl is bullying Madam!" Xavier was worried.Jasper pursed his lips and leaned forward. The look in his eyes hardened as he halted in his tracks. "Let's wait

There was a collective expression of shock among the onlookers.Even Ada Kingsley, who was not only Vincent's good friend but also Alexa's number one fan, found herself taken aback by Alyssa wearing jewelry from the elusive "Dark Rose" collection—a name she had heard of but never seen. She briefly experienced a rare moment of envy at Alyssa's wealth.Alyssa quietly cast Vincent a grateful look. There was no need for her to explain herself. This was Vincent's turf, and it was his job to address those who were up to no good. She wouldn't need to lift a finger for something as insignificant as Zoe's slander.Jasper's eyes had never left Alyssa. There was a hint of envy in them. He was sure that Alyssa knew that man, and the two shared a close relationship at that."Who's that old man?" Jasper demanded to know."Vincent Carter is the global CEO of AX. His grandfather holds the title of the last Duke of Yoarkley, and his grandmother is the founder of AX. In simple terms, they own the b

Betty took a step back, putting some distance between herself and Zoe to steer clear of the ongoing controversy.The reporters who came to their senses scrutinized Zoe. One of them remarked, "So, Ms. Harper was pointing fingers, even though she wasn't even a VIP member at AX. That's quite absurd."Another chimed in, saying, "She should have minded her own business."A third reporter added, "She believes she can have a say just because she bought a few pieces from AX. Look at her, making these bold accusations in front of the CEO, who probably doesn't even know her name. It's rather tactless. She's no match for Ms. Alyssa!"Zoe couldn't help but grumble inwardly about the media. How could they compare her to Alyssa? Zoe's mind went blank as she almost blacked out from the anger. That was the greatest humiliation she had endured in her young life.Alyssa paid no attention to Zoe as she left the scene, chatting merrily with Vincent and Ada.The reporters flocked after them, leav

Vincent led Alyssa and Ada to the backstage dressing room, where they chatted and sipped champagne.After a while, Ada's manager summoned her for an important interview, leaving only Alyssa and Vincent in the room."It's been three years since we last met. How have you been, Alyssa?" Vincent gave her a fatherly look, devoid of any romantic passion."Just like what you see. I'm still the old me." Alyssa opened her arms with a cool smile."You seem more worldly than three years ago. I can see in your weathered eyes that you went through a lot. Where did you go in the three years you vanished? Did you travel the world for inspiration?" Vincent detected a hint of melancholy in her expression and asked with genuine concern."Nah, I did not go traveling. I wasted three years working as a slave, and I'm completely burned out." Alyssa let out a sigh with an empty look in her eyes."You're as funny as before." He clinked glasses with her and chuckled. "When do you plan to reveal your iden

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,
