Chapter 415

Author: Ginger Sue
Sean was panting as he rushed back to Alyssa's place, the chilly fall air clinging to him. His forehead glistened with sweat.

Alyssa didn't immediately ask him about the outcome; instead, she strode to the coffee table and poured him a glass of warm water.

She handed the glass over to him and said, "Take a rest first and have some warm water. It's cold outside, isn't it?"

As Sean took the glass, the tips of his chilly fingers brushed against Alyssa's. It felt warm, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Have a seat and relax."

Alyssa turned and sat on the couch. She had her legs crossed beneath her nightgown and her peach-colored velvet slippers perched on the tips of her toes.

Sean's face was slightly flushed as he held the glass awkwardly in his hands.

He took a moment to regulate his breathing before speaking, "Ms. Alyssa, everything turned out just as you expected. Bryan and Abigail knew each other, and they're much more than just friends!"

Alyssa smiled. "Even if I knew what's

    It was midnight. Jasper sat by the window in his study room, pouring himself a glass of red wine.The glass he was using at the moment was one of the presents Alyssa had given him. It was a pair of Baroque-style crystal wine glasses. The clear clinking of these glasses indicated their top-notch craftsmanship and exquisite quality. As he sipped the wine, he couldn't help but wonder if when she had gifted him these glasses, she had thought of spending a lifetime together with him.Jasper frowned. The wine in his mouth suddenly tasted even more bitter than a bitter gourd. Right at that moment, a knock sounded at his door. Xavier entered the room with several documents. "Mr. Beckett, I've completed the investigation on Abigail, just as you instructed. Rest assured, I even found information on where her ancestors are buried! Absolutely no oversight!" Xavier declared confidently. Previously, Jasper hadn't left a good impression on Alyssa because of Xavier. This time, he was parti

    After the last meeting, the team members regained their hope. The once disheartened team became motivated again. Alyssa was an inspirational leader. Her employees weren't just her staff. They were also her devoted fans, captivated by her dazzling personality. Today, she was beaming with joy as she showed up for the regular meeting. During the meeting, she announced, "Ada has agreed to meet with me tonight. Whether it's going to succeed—let's put that aside first. At least it's a good start."The team members cheered. Bryan was the only one sitting at the far end. Although he had a delightful expression, his eyes showed no trace of joy. "Although we breached the contract first, I believe Ada's not a rigid person. I'm confident that my latest proposal can outperform the Beckett Group. And once she reviews it, she'll definitely be more pleased with it than the first version," Alyssa declared confidently. "Ms. Alyssa! You've got to show us!""Of course, I'd like to show it to e

    Bryan's eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets. He staggered one step backward, almost losing his balance. "Do you still have anything to say now, given the multitude of witnesses and concrete evidence?"Sean was already considering what punishments Bryan should suffer. When he thought about how much Alyssa had endured in the past few days because of that wretched Bryan, his hatred for him ran so deep that his eyes turned red with loathing."I've got nothing to say."Although Bryan was petrified, his love for Abigail surprisingly overcame the fear. He had the courage and confidence to confront Alyssa and Sean. He confessed, saying, "It was me who stole the proposal and sold it to the media. I did it all. I'm willing to accept the consequences."But his defiant tone and the tension in his corded neck clearly contradicted what he had just said. Bryan was obviously defiant. Sean clenched his jaw. Seeing how defiant Bryan was, he really wanted to punch him in the face.

    Bryan was cursing outrageously at Alyssa, as if she had killed his mother, bullied his wife, and desecrated his ancestors' graves. Sean was seething with anger upon hearing those words. However, Alyssa remained unfazed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Huh, this is quite interesting.""What did you say?" Bryan suddenly became flustered."I said, Abigail is quite interesting." Alyssa reached greedily for another piece of chocolate. Seeing her indulging in sweets, Sean couldn't help but smile. "You've only known Abigail for two months, and she has managed to outmaneuver you. You're even willing to sacrifice your future and challenge the conglomerate. Tsk, Ms. Grant is really something.""Alyssa, you're in no position to mock her! You're just an unscrupulous executive who abuses her power! If it weren't for you, Abigail could have had a good life as the heiress of the Grant family—you've ruined her life!"Bryan's emotions spiraled out of control as he bellowed, "Corrupt conglomera

    Alyssa tilted her head, propping her cheek with her hand. "Otherwise, how is it possible for her to approach you that quickly and immediately get to the heart of the matter, which is the contract? "Do you really believe there's no one pulling strings behind her?"Bryan burst into tears on the spot. He felt profound regret. He regretted not because his future was ruined but because he had cherished Abigail as if she was precious when, in fact, she was a deceitful bitch!"Ms. Alyssa, I'll tell you everything I know!"Under Alyssa's relentless questioning, Bryan spilled all the details about how Abigail had instructed him to steal confidential business information. Sean recorded everything he said.Bryan was discreetly escorted to the police station. As Alyssa's secretary and the legal advisor of KS World Hotel, Sean would officially charge Bryan with corporate theft. Now that they had caught the fish, it was time to go after the shark. Looking at her perfectly organized desk,

    Jasper's mistaken perception of Alyssa was unquestionably deserving of a spot in the hall of shame.Right at that moment, the intercom rang. Jasper put the call on speaker. "What is it?""Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa's secretary is here to see you. He didn't have an appointment. Should we send him away?"Xavier rolled his eyes upon learning that Sean was here. He despised Sean very much, and their relationship resembled that of cats and dogs—in a perpetual state of conflict."Let him in," ordered Jasper in a cold and composed tone. The opportunity to meet the esteemed president of the Beckett Group was a rare privilege. However, Sean was connected to Alyssa, so Jasper was willing to make an exception.A few minutes later, Sean entered the office with a stoic expression. "Mr. Beckett, I came under Ms. Alyssa's orders to deliver something to you," said Sean as he placed a white box on Jasper's desk."What's inside?" Jasper's gaze was fixed on the box. "A bomb," Sean replied indiff

    In a certain hotel's luxury suite, Abigail was riding through hell and high water to upgrade her way of life."Fuck! You're so good, Daddy!" Abigail moaned, panting against Matthew Farley. Glistening sweat rolled down their skin."That's it, doll … I love it when you call me that. Come on, who's your Daddy?" Matthew groaned, spouting out the entire spectrum of filth that was dirty talk.All Abigail wanted was for him to finish, however. It wasn't the first time she had slept with someone to get a promotion. This time, it was to become the general manager of the news department she was in.Just when the finish line was in sight, the hotel room door was unexpectedly thrown open.Abigail shrieked, quickly diving under the covers. Matthew, meanwhile, hurriedly pulled on his underwear. A chilling sensation shot down his spine like icy spikes as he turned to see who was at the door."H-Honey?" "So this is the whore you've been sleeping with, Matthew Farley?" Aurora Cristole, Matthe

    The audio file was of Bryan confessing everything about Abigail's plans—how she had seduced and tricked him into stealing KS World Hotel's confidential information before giving it to her.Abigail's phone fell to the ground.Her shaking grew more violent as she hugged herself tightly, feeling like her world had crumbled.…Betty took a hot bubble bath that night before commencing her skincare routine. Ever since Landon gave her those warnings that day, all for Lauren's sake, she hadn't been able to sleep well. It seemed as though a heavy burden rested upon her chest, steadily increasing in weight.She truly didn't understand how that idiotic sister of hers could have Alyssa Taylor back her up. Now, even Landon was standing up for her!"That lying, thieving bitch!" Betty cried, using her lipstick to scrawl Lauren's name on the mirror before furiously crossing it out.

    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

    "Didn't you say you had no idea what I was talking about? In that case, this ear is useless to you. You're already a crippled man anyway. You might as well be deaf too." Axel's hands trembled with restrained rage. The temptation to end Justin's life surged through him—he wanted to pull the trigger, to rip him apart limb by limb. But he had made a promise to Jasper—no lives would be taken. A promise was a promise."I will rescue my wife. But you'll lose more than just an ear if I fail." Axel seized Justin by the hair, his reddened eyes brimming with tears. His voice cracked with fury and anguish. "I will make you suffer a thousand times the pain Amber has endured."Without warning, he released Justin and stormed out."S-Sir! I will get someone to take you to the hospital right away!" Sheryl crawled to Justin's side, panic-stricken as her eyes fell on the pool of blood spreading across the floor. Her trembling hands fumbled with her phone, unable to keep a firm grip as she scrambl

    "Sir!" Sheryl shouted. She was just about to get to Justin's side when two shots were fired near her feet. Screaming, she dropped to her knees, threw her arms over her head, and scurried under the table like a terrified animal.The air in the room grew heavy with menace.Justin, known as the devil of the night, was a man who thrived on chaos. His power and influence stretched across continents, and he'd faced countless threats without flinching.But as his visitor approached, an unfamiliar dread coiled in his chest. His hands gripped the couch's armrests so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The terror was suffocating."Get out, all of you," the man commanded, his voice cold and sharp.The man remained fixated solely on Justin while Justin's guests fled in terror. "Help! Somebody!" Sheryl screamed, her voice muffled as she cowered under the table.No help would come. Outside, the others were either unconscious or dead.A deafening bang shattered the silence. The man fir

    "I will take it if my condition flares up," Remy said, his voice devoid of emotion as he stared blankly at the bottle in his hand. With a feigned smile, Sheryl replied, "Sir instructed me to ensure you took the pill."A chill ran down Remy's spine. Knitting his brows together, he questioned, "But why?" "This is Sir's order. Why are you questioning it?" Sheryl's smirk turned cold and mocking. "What, are you afraid Sir has ill intentions toward you? Have you lost your trust in him?"Remy held his breath. "No, that's not it." "Remy, swore before Sir to serve him loyally for the rest of your life. You pledged to give him your very being. You haven't forgotten that, have you?" Tilting her chin slightly upward, Sheryl shot him a frosty sidelong glance. "Even if Sir fed you poison, shouldn't you take it without hesitation? Why are you hesitating? Don't disappoint Sir."The suffocating pressure in Remy's chest intensified. It felt as though someone had a rifle trained on him, forcin

    Hell on Earth? This place resembled a decrepit hospital. But why had Sheryl described it as "hell on Earth"?Amber's body convulsed uncontrollably, her consciousness flickering between clarity and haze. Fragments of memory surfaced—a dim recollection of drinking with Carl in the cellar after The Millennium's closure. She'd despised working with Carl but had cozied up to him for the sake of extracting information.Carl had revealed that "Sir" was deeply entrenched in the pharmaceutical industry. With connections to Mosgravia's government officials and elite circles, "Sir" wielded considerable power and ran a thriving business. Since his business revolved around pharmaceuticals, clinical trials were inevitable. To facilitate this, Sir owned a private hospital in Mosgravia.That hospital, however, was merely a façade. Beneath its sterile exterior, three basement levels housed patients—unwilling subjects for experimental drugs.Amber shivered. This place bore an uncanny resemblance t

    "Amber will be fine," Jasper said confidently. "Based on Justin's way of doing things, he won't harm her for now. She's still useful t o him. He'll exploit her to control you and Alyssa, and to keep me from taking him down."Gripping Jasper's arm, Axel pleaded, "Jasper, I have to save my wife… What should I do?" His eyes were red, brimming with unshed tears.Steadying his breath, Jasper replied, "Even if it comes to killing Justin, it shouldn't be your hands that get dirty. I'll do it.""Are you kidding me? If we're taking that bastard down, we do it together!" Axel's expression was fierce and unyielding. "We went through the same military academy. We have to fight side by side!""Justin is my older brother. It's my family's matter to handle. And don't think I'm doing this for your sake—I have my own reasons."After a moment of silence, Jasper's voice softened. "I came to see you today for another reason.
