Both Jasper and Jameson turned to look at Alyssa, knowing she was pissed now. So, they stopped bidding."Congratulations, Ms. Alyssa! This one-of-a-kind necklace is yours!" The auctioneer gestured happily, swiftly knocking the gavel to halt all other bids.There was a two-second silence before the hall erupted into clamorous applause.Alyssa's flat expression never wavered, however."Alyssa bought the fake, Mom! Do you think she saw through it?" Betty asked frantically, heart pounding like a frightened rabbit."Be quiet! Do you want everyone to hear you?" Sophia hissed venomously, pinching Betty's arm. Sophia added, "Alyssa wouldn't have noticed it was a fake, nor would she ever anticipate one turning up at her own auction. You should be grateful she bid off that necklace!""But what if she finds out a—""That has nothing to do with you anymore! Even if she does, you can always claim she swapped it out in order to insult you." Sophia scowled.Betty had always admired her moth

Alyssa then bowed deeply to the crowd, a picture of utmost sincerity.The hall slowly quietened down."Next, I would like to clarify here and now that this necklace called 'Lacrima Dei' was my donation to the auction."The guests turned to Ada with astonished looks on their faces. She, in turn, turned to gaze incredulously at Betty.Betty turned to Zoe, but the latter was already out of her seat.Zoe had escaped before the shit hit the fan!Alyssa watched the show unfold, a smirk appearing on her lips. "I had no idea you would be donating this necklace tonight, Madam Ada. Please trust me when I say it was a pure coincidence.""W-Why would you have 'Lacrima Dei' too, Ms. Alyssa?" Ada asked, her confidence out the window.Alyssa pursed her lips. "What matters right now isn't why I have this necklace, Madam Ada. What matters is that your necklace was a fake."What? A fake? Turmoil and confusion swept through the crowd.Sophia did her best to keep her expression composed, but Bet

The crowd erupted into gasps of shock and awe once more.Alyssa Taylor was Alexa?Something imploded in Jasper's mind, blanking his thoughts out entirely. He felt like his soul had left his body, slowly drifting out like an astronaut in space.Alyssa was Alexa. She was the world-renowned, reclusive jewelry designer who had the world at her feet because of her stunning creations. She had been making a fool out of him all this time while he tried his best to invite her onto his team, likely enjoying her little games to no end.Jasper snarled, anger and awe pumping through his veins. "You … You lied to me again … You fucking lied to me again!"Why did she always hide her true self from him? During the three years of marriage, all she did was reduce herself to a meek, quiet little woman who acted like some maid in the house. Why degrade herself like this?Was this some other ploy to rub his ignorance in his face?Jasper ground his teeth together, heart hurting in his chest. He c

The crowd's attention was now on Betty, their impression of her crumbling into pieces.Jasper remained calm, as if he had expected this to happen. He hadn't been able to meet Alexa herself even when he flew all the way to Yoarkley to find her, so there was no way someone like Betty could have gotten her hands on one of Alexa's creations.Jasper's anger rose once again at the thought of being toyed with, and he shot Alyssa a glare.The latter narrowed her eyes, a scowl appearing on her face. She wondered why Jasper was staring at her like that. She felt that Jasper was behaving like a lunatic. Betty couldn't take the accusatory gazes and comments from the crowd anymore. She shakily hid behind her mother, quaking like a leaf in the wind.Ada cried, "Have you been lying to me from the start, Ms. Betty? How could you resort to something so debased and repulsive just to get me to choose your hotel?""I-I …" But Betty didn't know what to say anymore. She was covered in cold sweat by

Sliva said, "Because of this, anyone who manages to buy a piece for themselves would never consider reselling it. I'm sure you must've felt you were being lied to when told this was a genuine product. "I'm also certain Ms. Alexa wouldn't sell any of her creations to you even if you gave her all the money in the world." Sliva's gaze showed a dark, cunning air before she added, "You are far from qualified to be able to obtain one, in any respect.""You … You!" Sophia cried, eyes bugging out from her face, but she couldn't find the words.The guests were on Sliva's side on this one. Sophia had caused trouble countless times by now, her reputation in Solana City on a needle's edge. If it weren't for her husband, Javier Beckett, she wouldn't have been able to stick around any longer.It was all the more infuriating that someone who was debased and shameless as Sophia was calling for justice to be done."Besides," Sliva said, turning to Betty, "Can you confidently say you had no cl

Sophia was just about to blow her top upon hearing that. All her rage was now directed toward that cunning bitch, Zoe Harper.The crowd went wild again. Betty wasn't some pitiful victim. She was the one who started this trail of lies! The reporters began reporting this to their respective platforms, with headlines like "Taylor Family Heiress is World-Renowned Jewelry Designer Alexa?", "What Else Have We Yet to See from Alyssa Taylor?", "Sophia Kirkman and Betty Beckett Humiliate Themselves Once Again—Lying to International Celebrity with Counterfeit Jewelry!", and finally, "Deep Look: When Will Sophia Kirkman and Betty Beckett Finally Stop Their Twisted Schemes?".Betty could never have imagined she would once again turn up on the headlines as yet another embarrassment in the nation in less than a year's time, this time even more riotous than before.Seeing how things were now out of control, Sophia tried to turn the bottle to Jasper. "Are you just going to stand there and let the

Alyssa smiled lightly, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons as she shot Jasper an amused look."Why does she look so familiar?" someone from the crowd asked."Oh! She's that chick who got caught sleeping with E-News Daily's CEO on a live stream!""Damn, she's still showing her face around here? If I were her, I'd change my name, get plastic surgery, and never return.""What the heck is she doing here? Hasn't she caused enough trouble?"Abigail took a deep, shaky breath to calm her nerves. "My name is Abigail Grant, and I was an employee from E-News Daily. "I'm here tonight so I can help administer some justice to those who were wrongly accused. Think of this as penance for my own crimes. "I am truly sorry to Ms. Alyssa Taylor of KS World Hotel. I was greedy and agreed to do what I should never have done. "I should never have persuaded her staff to steal the company's confidential information about Ms. Ada Kingsley's wedding, nor should I have sold it to the public media, u

The auction ended on a high note with this turn of events. Not only had MINT broken the record for raising the most charity funds in a single night, but the reporters were covering every detail as if it were the birthdays of all the A-list celebrities in the world combined. When Javier heard the news, he instantly sent his secretary and lawyer to escort Sophia and Betty home. They were huddled together, still frightened by what had happened."I represent the Beckett Group as their legal advisor. If you do not have solid proof of your accusations about Ms. Betty stealing confidential information, Ms. Grant, I will see you in court for defamation," the lawyer said boldly.Abigail got scared at the thought of being sued, but she was even more terrified of dying. Currently, the man who held her life in his hands was gazing directly at her, leaving her with no chance to reconsider. She shuddered and promptly retorted, "O-Of course I have proof! Don't assume I'm intimidated by you ar

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

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
