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

    "Hold on, Ms. Alyssa!"The crowd of reporters swarmed around her, encircling her and bombarding her with microphones and cameras as if she had won some prestigious award. Though they meant no harm, it was still challenging to make her way through the throng. "Ms. Alexa, do you plan to take action against Betty Beckett for stealing your company's confidential information? Do you plan to sue her?""Betty Beckett's actions have led Ms. Ada Kingsley to terminate her contract with you. Will KS World Hotel take it up with the Beckett Group for this incident?""Ms. Ada Kingsley has made it clear that she intends to terminate her contract with Berenike Hotel. Will you resume the contract and work with her once again?"Alyssa had had a long day. She no longer had much strength. In fact, her gastritis was starting to act up again.She winced, tears beading on her forehead as her stomach churned. Yet, she remained calm and composed on the outside."I—"However, before she could finish

    Alyssa was in so much pain that she could only roll her eyes internally.How childish and lacking in creativity were these media people? Why, when it came to a man and a woman being together, did their first assumption always jump to them being in a relationship? What about just being friends?"I'm one of Ms. Alyssa's many admirers," Jameson said gently, his eyes locked onto Alyssa as if she were the sole reason for his existence. "And I'm currently courting her."Alyssa's eyes widened in shock as the reporters erupted into gasps and exclamations. Attending this event turned out to be an absolute win for them tonight, as they were bombarded with breaking news one after another. It was enough to guarantee them a three-month commission!Suddenly, someone barged in from the side, yanking Alyssa away from Jameson and swiftly removing her from the scene."Let me go, Jasper!" Alyssa yelped, too weak to struggle. "You—bastard! Thug!"But Jasper ignored her protests. He was entirel

    "How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

    Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa. Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks. She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse. With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy. She was counting down the hours until nightfall. After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did. The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table.

    Axel and Amber had only spent half a month together before the former was called back to report for work. The night before his departure, they spent hours lost in each other, their passion unrelenting. Again and again, they exchanged kisses, their love pouring forth in an endless tide."Amber, three months… Just give me three more months." When their fervor finally waned, Axel held Amber close in his arms. They rested against the headboard, leaning into one another, too exhausted to move yet unwilling to let sleep claim them."Once I finish all the missions I've taken on, I'll hand in my resignation. After that, I'll spend all my time with you," Axel murmured, his voice steady with resolve. "We'll go wherever you want. If you want fun, I'll have fun with you. If you want chaos, I'll spend my life going crazy with you."Axel wasn't one for flowery words. He simply spoke from the heart. Right now, his heart only wanted Amber—forever.Amber nestled closer, her soft smile masking t

    "Sir." Sheryl immediately stood and greeted Justin respectfully as he entered the room. "What are you doing here?" Justin's cold gaze swept over her as he strolled leisurely to the couch and sat down.Sheryl quickly explained, "I received a parcel for you from the administrative secretary half an hour ago. I thought it might be something important, something you wouldn't want too many people to handle. So, I waited for you to return and open it personally.""A parcel?" Justin frowned. Why would anyone send him a parcel to Beckett Group, of all places? How strange. Sheryl presented the parcel to him with both hands. He took it from her and then opened it right before her. After removing three layers of wrapping, each from outside and inside the box, the parcel turned out to contain only a plain white envelope. His expression darkened. It felt like someone was toying with him.Then, he looked down and opened the envelope, which contained a stack of photographs. Pinching a co

    "Don't be so pessimistic, Jonah," Alyssa said. Perhaps having just seen Jasper and going through that heart-stopping moment made Alyssa emotional. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "If you truly love someone, you don't need to possess him to find happiness. Isn't it enough to know he's alive, well, and living freely somewhere in this world?""You're right, Lyse." Sorrow filled Jonah's voice as he smiled bitterly. "Julien has already lost and sacrificed too much for my sake. I don't deserve to have such a good man. He'll only find true happiness by leaving me."…After Justin took over as president of Beckett Group, his first move was to wrest control of the A5 Project bid from Jasper's hands.Though Jasper had failed as the leader of Beckett Group, as the eldest son, it was only natural for Justin to inherit the position of power. Justin was aware of lingering opposition within the corporation. Some doubted whether he possessed the decisiveness and singular capabili
