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

Jasper's lips stretched into a thin line. "She has Jameson now, besides her throng of brothers. I don't need to kiss her ass even more. That's embarrassing to a man of my stature."Xavier quickly cried, "But Mr. Jasper, you're not even in her neutral books at this point. This is the only way to win her back!"Jasper glared at his secretary, making the man shut up instantly."We've divorced. There's no use trying to revive anything. I don't intend on getting her back either." Jasper cleared his throat, his voice hoarse. "What's mine would never leave me, and what's not, well, there's no point chasing after it once it's gone. I have never regretted leaving her. Never."…Sophia stormed back to Seaview Manor, bursting into tears even before stepping into the study. She clung onto Javier, sobbing and crying her misery out. "How could Jasper do this to his own sister? What a cruel child! He didn't want to help. That's fine. But how could he dismiss Betty from her post? "How cou

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli

"Don't say that. You've done really well so far!" Xavier said gently, his voice a steady anchor as he tried to comfort Julien.He continued, "Many people spend their whole lives unable to quit even common drugs. The substance Mr. Beckett took is far more potent. The fact that he's found any relief at all is remarkable."Jasper's senses gradually returned, but he was left drained, and his eyes struggled to focus. "Julien…" "I'm right here," Julien murmured, leaning in to gently wipe the tears and cold sweat from Jasper's face with a tissue. Struggling for breath, Jasper rasped, "Keep my condition… a secret… especially from her." Julien didn't need to ask who he meant. It had to be Alyssa. It wasn't pride that fueled Jasper's plea. It was something deeper—a desperate wish to shield Alyssa from the sight of his brokenness, to spare her the disappointment of seeing him like this.Xavier helped Jasper to stand before addressing Julien. "Dr. Lovelace, I hope you understand—the f
