"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

Jasper flinched violently.They used to be husband and wife. Why had it come to this?The blade didn't need to pierce his heart for it to be riddled with pain."Landon was the last person to see this blade's end. He learned his lesson, however." Alyssa tilted her head, a sharp glint in her eyes. "I'm sure someone as intelligent as you wouldn't need me to shove this between your ribs for you to know better, no?""What does he have that I don't?" Jasper asked hoarsely.Alyssa was caught by surprise. "What?""What does Jameson have that I don't?" Jasper asked again, slowly walking closer to her even as the pressure of the blade's tip began increasing. It was as if he didn't care about his own life anymore."Stay away, Jasper!" Alyssa cried, taking meek steps backward, though her blade never left Jasper's chest. "Do you really think I won't hurt you?""Why would you be with him? Is it … Is it all just to get revenge on me?" Jasper's voice trembled, oblivious to the pain cause

All that could be heard in the room was Alyssa's soft breathing as Jameson remained by her side like a silent protector.As she turned in her sleep and a soft whimper escaped her lips, Jameson swallowed hard, feeling a rush of heat surge through his veins.Women had always thrown themselves at him all these years, whether in Cyrris or Kontina, regardless of their social stature. The more they did this, the more boring and disgusting Jameson found them.Only Alyssa could make him feel anything these days.He would do anything in the world to enable her to continue triumphing and carving her path in this city.Jameson slowly raised his hand to touch Alyssa's cheek.Just then, his secretary messaged him."Mr. Jameson, Ms. Alyssa's family are here for her. They're right outside."Jameson took off his glasses and went to open the ward door. Jonah, Silas, and Sean stood outside like rigid guards, ready to pounce on anyone who dared antagonize Alyssa.Jameson instantly explained, "Ly

When Alyssa woke up the next day, she was stunned to find herself at home in Belbanks."Did I teleport in my sleep?" She cried, pinching her own face.She felt the pinch. She wasn't dreaming. She really was home!"If you can teleport, then I'm psychic," Colene teased, walking into the room with Mandy. They were thrilled to see Alyssa well and awake. "How's your stomach now, dear?"Mandy sat down beside her bed, cupping her cheek. "You've lost weight! Have you been overworking yourself?"Colene cried, eyes red with unshed tears, "You should just stay home and never set foot in that godawful city, Lyse! "Why throw yourself to the sharks like this when you can enjoy all the finest things in the world? We're all at your beck and call here! "Heck, if you want to try alligator meat, I'd skin my Bobo and make sashimi of him for you!"Alyssa giggled. "I'm no picky eater, Colene, but raw reptile is a bit out of my league.""You know how Colene can be when she's trying to express her

"I'm perfectly fine, Lyla," Alyssa said as she hugged her third stepmother affectionately."Well, alright then. I'll prepare some snacks for you two." Lyla then left the study, but not before making a bullhorn gesture with her hands to show Alyssa that Winston was currently furious. Alyssa responded with a reassuring "okay" sign and a playful wink.Neil also left the study, giving them some privacy."I heard everything you said to Lyla earlier, Dad." Alyssa sat down beside her father, hand wrapping around his shoulders. She continued, "You're underestimating me. I wouldn't be charging my way through the city if I didn't have the guts or ability for it. Most players there are like fledglings compared to someone as resilient as a phoenix, like me.""Even so, I hate to see those featherless pigeons pecking at you so relentlessly." Winston shook his head and added, "Why did you have to get on their bad side? I've been so worried about you all this while. I'm old, Alyssa. I shou

Betty once again grew viral on social media, dragging Beckett Group's stocks down with her as well. The online comments and attacks on her after the auction hadn't stopped since. Ada publicly denouncing her contract with Beckett Group didn't help either."Some people can try all they want, but they'll never be able to stand out against someone like Alyssa Taylor. Ms. Alyssa is gorgeous and talented. She even manages her family's hotel! "Unlike some people who only know to scheme and plot in the shadows like some cowardly snake. They really embarrass all of us by lying to Ada Kingsley like that!""Don't compare that Beckett girl with our lovely Ms. Alexa! They're from entirely different worlds!""I'm not surprised to hear what Betty did, honestly. Like mother, like daughter, as they say.""Are there any good apples in the Beckett family at this point? The police should really look into them and see if they're up to anything shady."Jasper scheduled an emergency board meeting on

Jasper was clearly humiliating her in front of everyone.Sure enough, disdain and contempt clouded everyone's gazes when they looked at her."You can't simply give this order just because you're the CEO! The president should be the one making this decision. How could you abuse your power?" Having no other alternative but this, Sophia decided to use that to attack Jasper.But Jasper merely smirked. "So you mean to say that the president will let Betty off the hook for all her hazardous actions? "Even if she has stolen another business' confidential information, cheated and lied to a client, intentionally created a counterfeit of an internationally renowned piece of insured jewelry, and caused our stocks to plummet—all because she's the president's daughter?"His words struck Sophia like hidden blades.The board members watched intently as she trembled in her shoes, at a loss for words."There is no such thing as fairness when it comes to the business world. The fairness we see

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
