LOGIN"No way… There's no way in hell!" Alyssa exclaimed, glaring at the doctor with reddened eyes. Like a stubborn mule that had lost all control, she broke down and lashed out uncontrollably. All her poise had vanished, leaving behind nothing but pained madness. "Our family is rich. We're filthy rich! I want Jonah's eye restored. I want his eye to be exactly like it was before! You people had better make sure he's cured!""Ms. Alyssa… We truly did our best," the doctor replied dejectedly. Even so, he didn't blame Alyssa for her impulsive reaction. He understood the depth of her anguish. "Please try to focus on the positives. Mr. Jonah still has one eye. Besides, our hospital produces prosthetic limbs and eyes of exceptional quality. Superficially, they look almost identical to the real thing, so Mr. Jonah's appearance won't be affected—" But Alyssa refused to listen. She cried, struggled, and wailed. Her screams echoed throughout the entire corridor. "Stop it, Lyse. Calm down. Y
Remy widened his eyes in shock. He was already drenched in sweat. He yelled, "Jasper, watch out!" As much as he wanted to dash toward Jasper to help him, he was too far away. He wouldn't be able to reach him in time. Seeing the glistening blade in Uri's hand aimed straight at his chest, Jasper's heart pounded. Though only a few seconds passed, he struggled with the dilemma.He had a gun in his hand, and three bullets remained. Given that Uri was within close range, those three bullets would be more than enough to take him down for good.But if he did that, he would be committing murder. Did he truly want someone's blood on his hands? Was killing Uri the only way to resolve everything?In that split second, Alyssa's vibrant smile flashed across his mind. Her smile was so brilliant that it made his heart race. It was like a ray of sunshine illuminating his icy life, sending warmth from the depths of his heart to every part of his body. He didn't want his hands stained with blo
Just in the nick of time, Remy, who had been lurking silently in the shadows, pounced. Catching Uri off guard, he lunged forward and grabbed the gun in Uri's hand. This was the strategy the Taylor siblings and Jasper had agreed upon earlier, executed with flawless teamwork. Rage exploded in Uri's chest, and a dark, reckless desperation took hold of him. He grappled with Remy and began firing his gun wildly. One of the bullets even struck the iron chains that held Julien captive. "Don't worry about me. You have to finish him… Finish him!" Julien roared hysterically, his eyes completely bloodshot. His voice broke as he added, "Jonah lost an eye because of him. He has to pay for it with his life!" Consecutive gunshots rang out again, making Axel's blood run cold and his heart race as he stood below. Yet he couldn't rush up to help. What if Julien suddenly plunged down? Having no one watching from below was simply too risky.However, he was terrified that something might happe
At lightning speed and with the agility of a leopard, Axel lunged out of the darkness. He spun around, raising his tensed arm high, and aimed the gun in his hand precisely at Uri, who stood on the high platform. With his teeth clenched tight, he fired three consecutive shots. Unfortunately, his position below was too far from Uri, and his visibility was limited. On top of that, the cunning Uri stood in the shadows, causing all three of Axel's shots to miss him completely. "Shit. Damn it!" Axel cursed, his eyes bloodshot with fury. Shock filled Uri's eyes as he stood on the high platform. Beneath the shadows, his face had turned as white as a sheet.He had been so focused on fighting Jonah and so immersed in the thrill of torturing him that he hadn't checked the surveillance footage in time, allowing others to sneak in without him even realizing it.Uri knew he was no match for these elites from the Taylor family. They were exceptionally skilled fighters. If he hadn't resorted
"Don't be afraid, Julien… I'm right here." It felt as though a thorny lump was lodged in Jonah's throat. Choking back his sobs, he added with great difficulty, "I will get you out of here, no matter the cost." "Jonah… I love you. I never stopped loving you, even after we separated. Not even for a single moment." Julien's voice broke into jagged sobs as his tears fell from high above. "You know… I really regret it. I regret not having faith in your love for me… Why did I doubt you? Why did I believe the enemy when they tried to drive a wedge between us? "It was my fault… I don't deserve your love. I deserve to die! I won't be able to go on if I lose you too… So, Jonah… get away from here now. Leave! Now! "You have to stay alive no matter what!" Jonah smiled, his joy reaching his tear-filled eyes. He slowly shook his head at Julien. He had never blamed him. He only hated himself for being selfish with the man he loved, for hiding his greatest secret from him. Though he had
Jonah advanced, step by step. A bone-deep chill surrounded him in the pitch darkness. Nevertheless, his eyesight was exceptional. While others would feel as though they were blindfolded, he could still make out the outlines of objects even in near-total darkness. The dead silence around him was chilling. Warily, he scanned his surroundings, his eyes glinting with sharp frostiness. "I'm here, Uri. Show yourself." Suddenly, there was a click. A beam of cool, bluish-white light shone down on him from above without warning. Jonah tilted his head up, and his face immediately turned pale."Julien!" Julien hung suspended in the air, battered and bruised all over. His wrists were already covered in blood from the friction of the shackles around them. His head hung low. He had already fallen unconscious. "Uri, you bastard!" Jonah's reddened eyes bulged with fury. He was already on the verge of losing control. Spinning around, he roared, "What did you do to Julien? If anything hap
There were many people around.But the moment when Jasper and Alyssa made eye contact, it seemed as if everything fell silent, and all the noise around them disappeared.Seeing her crush, Renee was so excited that her eyes lit up.She quickly took out her powder compact and touched up her makeup. Then
At exactly 7:00 pm, after the business conference, all the big shots and elite figures of Solana City rushed to Berenike Hotel to attend the cocktail party.Alyssa sped in her black Bugatti, with Julien tightly gripping the door handle on the passenger side. He stared straight ahead, not daring to sa
The doorbell rang at that moment. Sean was puzzled. "Who's visiting at this hour?""Sean, answer the door. She's my guest," instructed Alyssa.Sean remained confused, for Alyssa hadn't told him about the guest before this. Still, he put his thoughts aside and opened the door.A young and good-looking l
Alyssa was admitted to a VIP room at Taylor General Hospital. Connected to an IV, she felt utterly drained but far from drowsy.Jonah sat beside her, carefully tending to the wound on her ankle while resting her leg on his knee. Alyssa, finally sensing the pain, frowned in silence.Jonah inquired, "Ly
