Chapter 38

Author: Ginger Sue
"Fuck! Have you lost your fucking mind, Jasper?" Landon's eyes bulged.

Alyssa looked ashen. Her arm fell to her side limply, and cold sweat beaded over her forehead. He and Jasper were exact opposites—he treated women gently while Jasper was too harsh with them!

Jasper clenched the hand that had grabbed Alyssa's arm. His lips parted as he stepped back, looking stunned.

"Ms. White, your arm's dislocated! I'll take you to the hospital right now!" Landon said anxiously. He moved to help her, but she dodged him. "No, thanks. I'll deal with this myself."

"How are you going to do that? You have a dislocated arm!"

"It's none of your business!" Alyssa was genuinely angry now. She glared at him, her hackles raised. Landon was stunned. He didn't dare move.

Jasper stared at her. She was his ex-wife, but he felt like he'd never really known her. Throughout the three years of their marriage, he'd only seen her smile and laugh. She'd always been gentle, obedient, and even a little ingratiating

    Landon clucked his tongue and ran after them. "She's right! It's inappropriate for you to treat her like this now that you two have divorced! I'll carry you, Ms. White!""Fuck off!""Fuck off!"The former couple spoke in unison. It was just that one of them saw red while the other's face was red. Landon couldn't help thinking that they were pretty similar.…At the hospital, Alyssa was taken into the clinic. Jasper and Landon waited in the corridor. "Damn, Jasper. How could you have treated her like that? Do you think she'd be able to handle your rough treatment? Or were you trying to rip her arm off?" Landon shook his head."How did you know she was working there?" Jasper looked at him coldly. There was a trace of anger in his eyes."I was there for a meal and happened to run into her. Before I arrived, she was doing hard labor at the unloading bay. You should've seen how hard she was working—no one would've believed she used to be a president's wife." He smiled slightly and so

    Jasper used to be a cadet of the most elite military academy in the nation. He was enlisted in the army for three years after graduating from the academy. Hence, he was still strong and powerful as ever despite being a businessman.Silas' punch ended up bruising the corner of Jasper's mouth. The latter's body didn't even budge in the slightest."Holy shit! Is he another love rival of mine?" Landon screamed internally. Naturally, he dared not scream in Silas' face.He suddenly remembered the way Alice had mocked him earlier. Apparently, homewreckers mustn't be arrogant. Meanwhile, Silas tried to punch Jasper again out of fury. At that point, the latter would never give him another chance to strike at him. So Jasper dodged the punch swiftly."Jasper, didn't I tell you to stay away from Alice? Are you this shameless?"Silas panted heavily, his eyes now bloodshot. "I'll fucking skin you alive if anything happens to her! Hell, I'll make the Beckett Group pay for this!""Mr. Taylor,

    Silas was still furious about what Jasper did. He was about to start ranting when Alyssa glared at him, which shut him up."What the hell? I'll go beat him up right now!" Sean exclaimed. Sean was about to get up and leave when Alyssa called out to him. "It's fine. You can't beat him in a fight anyway. He used to be a member of the Peacekeeping Forces, after all. You might get beaten up instead."She continued, "Besides, he didn't mean to hurt me. That man always underestimates his strength, after all. He doesn't care about me at all.""Why do you sound like you've known him for a long time, Ms. Alyssa?"Alyssa looked dazed for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips and kept mum.Sean didn't know her exact relationship with Jasper for now. She didn't mean to hide the truth from him. It was just that she was too lazy to explain everything to him.Alyssa's relationship with Jasper was already over. She no longer wished to have anything to do with him.…Silas brewed a cup of coffee

    Soon, Jasper entered the tailor shop.The old tailor was ironing some clothes at that time. He was surprised to see a handsome customer walking into his shop."Ah, it's you!""Money is no issue here. I hope that you can help me out with something."Jasper opened the box with a light frown on his face."Oh, dear! What happened to the suit? Why is it all torn?" The tailor's heart broke at the sight of the torn suit."It's all my fault." That was the only excuse Jasper could come up with."That young lady spent such a long time making this suit just for you. I've witnessed the way she struggled when she worked on that suit. It's as though I helped make it."The old tailor shook his head sadly. "What a shame. This is such a nice suit.""Is there a way for you to fix it?" Jasper asked."How am I supposed to do that? I can easily patch up the inner fabric, but it will be difficult to fix the outer fabric."For some reason, Jasper tensed up when he heard the tailor's response."Ju

    "But my sister is an upstanding businesswoman. It's very unfair for her to be slandered like that. Besides, this just had to happen when Lia and Jasper were about to get married …" Sophia said. "Upstanding? You mean dishonest!" said Newton scornfully. Sophia froze upon hearing his words.Newton continued, "Don't think I know nothing just because I'm old and no longer on the front lines. The Gardner Group dug its own grave by doing business dishonestly! Also, you don't have to threaten me with Jasper. If he wants to marry a woman from the Gardner family, then I shall disown him! You guys can go ahead and date whoever you want. You don't even have to come to my funeral when I die!" Newton ranted."Dad!" Javier sighed. Sophia was crying, but her gaze was icy. She was done being oppressed by Newton for more than twenty years! She wished he would die with regrets! "Grandpa!" Jasper strode toward Newton and reached out to stroke his back, but Newton pushed him away. "You don't have

    The drama ended with Jasper promising not to meddle in the Gardner Group's business.After Sophia and Javier left, Newton looked around at the mess in anger. "What a shame! All the men in our family just have to fall for those scheming Gardner women!" Jasper bent down to pick up the things on the floor while his mind spun. Could someone have replaced Jonah at the meeting in Yoarkley? But Jasper knew Javier wouldn't have recognized the wrong person. They had clashed against each other multiple times in the business world, after all. There was no way Javier could have been mistaken unless he was showing early signs of dementia.Jasper picked up a hand fan and asked, "Grandpa, is this yours?" Newton sighed and said, "Just look at me. I must have lost my senses in anger. Bring it to me." Newton's gaze softened at the sight of the fan. "Alice made me this fan herself. The patterns and calligraphy are all her own work."Alice knew calligraphy? She also knew how to draw? Jasp

    "By the way, how's Lyse doing in Solana City? She was ruthless in taking out the Gardner Group. But if she doesn't hold up well, I'm afraid she will bring their wrath upon herself. "Liam and Axel won't return, so you two must protect her at all times, understood?" Winston said plainly, but there was a caring look in his eyes."Yes, Dad.""Don't worry, Dad. I'll kill whoever dares to bully Lyse!""Killing isn't necessary, but you can make them wish they were dead," Winston said. Then, he sipped his wine. After dinner, Winston and Jonah left the table first. When Silas was about to leave, he realized his brother had left his phone on the table. Right then, it started vibrating, and he saw Jasper's name on the screen. Silas was tipsy. He scanned his surroundings and coughed softly before answering the phone. "Is anything the matter, Mr. Beckett?""I'm looking for Alice," said Jasper. His tone made Silas angry. "What's your problem, Jasper? Who gave you the right to make Alice

    "Is … Is it?" Alyssa touched her face. It felt as warm as toast. She immediately looked away shyly. "Maybe it's because I've had a little to drink.""Weren't you on your way to the cellar? Your face is red before you've even had a drop," Sean pointed out. He was an elite employee but an amateur when it came to real life. He had no idea that Alyssa was just feeling horny. "You're so annoying!" Alyssa rolled her eyes at him and walked off in embarrassment. Sean was left standing there miserably. He didn't know how he had offended her. He had no choice but to tag along behind her.They arrived at the wine cellar. It held nearly a thousand bottles of red wine, all of which were prepared for Alyssa by Jasper. He knew that she had a hobby of having a drink or two. Every bottle of wine was expensive, and many of them were limited editions bought at auctions. Alyssa owned more than twenty bottles of some wines that even Winston didn't have. If she were to sell them, she could afford

    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. His muscles tensed as he reached for the door handle, ready to l

    "Younger brother?" Jonah echoed. The mention of Damien brought a sharp pang to his chest. Memories of the plane crash flashed before his eyes. He continued, his voice tight with emotion, "Even if he is my brother, he allied with the devil and chose a corrupt path. I am severing ties with him!"With that, Jonah slammed his arm down, a decisive gesture."Jonah! No!" Jasper shouted.In the next instant, Remy, with an almost unnatural calm, grabbed the blade of the dagger with his bare hand. Blood began to flow from his palm.Jonah's heart twisted in agony. Family meant everything to him, yet here he was, inflicting harm on one of his own."I didn't come here to stop you," Remy said, his voice low and strained as he met Jonah's reddened eyes. "But I must stop both of you. This is my mission."Jonah stared at him, stunned. "Why—""Because I work for Sir. I have no choice but to follow orders."Turning to Jasper, Remy said, "Go." …After watching them leave, Remy trudged through

    Jasper and Jonah went to get Sebastian and Xavier out of the car. The four of them then bolted toward the other end of the alley. A clamor broke out behind them. Jasper glanced back, his heart pounding.Warmth surged through his hardened heart as he saw Axel holding his own in a brutal fight against over a dozen assassins, skillfully subduing them one by one."Jasper!" All of a sudden, Jonah stopped in his tracks. Jasper turned to see what had caught his attention, and his heart sank. Standing at the alley's end, silhouetted against the light, was a tall figure radiating a presence that commanded fear. Though the man's face was obscured, his unyielding presence was unmistakable. It was Justin's right-hand man, Remy."Mr. Beckett, w-what should we do?" Xavier stammered.With a fierce glint in his eyes, Jonah took a step forward. "I'll hold him back. The rest of you, keep going." "Xavier, take Dr. Bender to the press conference immediately. Don't let anything stop you." J

    "Maggie, I love you!" Xavier typed.Maggie replied, "Xave, you're not usually this corny. What happened?" Xavier couldn't bring himself to tell her that those words were his final ones if something happened to him.His phone buzzed again. It was Maggie sending another message that read, "I love you too, Xave." Tears filled Xavier's eyes. His lips quivered, and his heart raced. He cursed under his breath. It was time to go all out. With that, he grabbed the machete, swung open the car door, and swiftly took down two of Jasper's attackers.But Xavier wasn't a fighter. He had no real combat experience. It didn't take long before a blade sliced into his arm, the deep cut searing with pain.Jasper's eyes widened. He roared, "Xavier, get back in the car!"Distracted, Jasper's opponent swung a machete at his face. Xavier gasped, "Mr. Beckett!"Luckily, Jasper dodged the strike, his reflexes quick. He retaliated by snapping the attacker's arm.Xavier, pale and shaking with pain,

    Frightened out of his wits, Xavier yelped, covering his head and crouching low in his seat. It wasn't that he was a coward. He had been brave in the past, but this situation was unlike anything an ordinary person would face.Working for Jasper meant Xavier didn't have to worry about his livelihood, but every day was a gamble with danger. If this continued, he might have to keep Nitroglycerin on hand just to survive.Jasper, with his strong, muscular frame, shielded Sebastian beneath him.He knew the attackers were after Sebastian, the witness, aiming to eliminate anyone who could tip the scales against them. If they could take down Jasper too, or at least injure him severely, it would be a bonus.These people were ruthless. Sebastian, oblivious to the danger, was muttering the Lord's Prayer under his breath. He didn't know that the man protecting him was sometimes more powerful than any deity."Don't lift your heads! Arrows aren't like bullets—they can pierce glass but not the

    Time was ticking. The press conference was about to begin. Landon escorted Sebastian out of the manor and into Jasper's car. He glanced at Jasper, who sat in the back seat, his expression calm and composed.With concern etched on his face, Landon said, "Jasper, let me come with you. I can't feel at ease otherwise."Jasper met Landon's gaze, firm and aloof. "Don't worry, Landon. You've done enough. It's time for you to step back."If Landon continued to help, he would only get caught up in the chaos. Despite his current difficulty in articulating his feelings, Jasper couldn't forget that this was his best friend, the one he'd stood by for more than 20 years. Landon had endured so much to finally be happy with Lauren, and Jasper wasn't about to be the one to disrupt that hard-earned happiness. Understanding Jasper's stubbornness, Landon turned to Xavier. "Call me immediately if anything happens.""Don't worry, Mr. Harper," Xavier reassured. With that, Sebastian climbed into

    That said, this strategy came with its own risks. It was as if Jasper and Axel were placing all their bets on Remy for the time being."Justin doesn't control someone without a reason. Since he has control over Remy, he will make full use of him."Jasper's chest tightened, a weight pressing down on him like a massive rock. He continued, "The only way to find Amber is to understand Justin's intentions clearly."…The press conference was scheduled for 5:00 pm at Berenike Hotel's Conference Hall A on Saturday. At 3:00 pm sharp, Justin sat in the president's office at Beckett Group, his expression frigid. He sat upright on the couch while Sheryl, standing beside him, carefully tended to the wound on his left ear, changing its dressing with caution. It had been only two days since he was shot in the ear. His flesh had been stitched up, and the stitches looked like a grotesque centipede crawling along his ear. There was no way to conceal the injury unless he donned a shoulder-lengt

    "Remy beat Sheryl up?" Jasper repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. Having wiped away his tears, Axel leaned in to listen to the phone call."Yeah! I saw it with my own eyes in the surveillance footage. He punched her—brutally!" Xavier's voice was filled with astonishment. He exhaled sharply before continuing, "I thought they were a close-knit group. Looks like even they have internal conflicts!"After a brief pause, he ventured, "Mr. Beckett, do you think we could use this as a breakthrough? Maybe Remy has been at odds with Sheryl for a while, and he's tired of working under Justin. Perhaps all he needs is a little push to turn against them. After all, didn't Ms. Altman join us because she hated everything Jameson did?"Jasper didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he spoke quietly, "It's a clever thought, but it's still uncertain. We don't really know Remy's intentions. Our interactions with him have been few, and they've always been risky confrontations. I don't know what he
