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

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

Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

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
