Crater Mountain was where Alyssa had first met Jasper 13 years ago. It was where Jasper had saved her life."Elijah, you say?" Alyssa asked excitedly upon hearing her friend's name."Yes, Mr. Elijah is retiring next month, so this month is his last. He'll be going home to his hometown after I take over." Elias sighed. He continued, "I saw your name in Mr. Elijah's books. You must be really important to him. I hope you can visit him sometime this month before he leaves. He has pancreatic cancer, and we don't know how long he has left …" "What?" Alyssa cried, sitting up straight."He was already in the third stage when they found it. You know how cancer can be. It's nearly unstoppable if untreated …""I understand," Alyssa said solemnly. "I'll visit him soon.""Please don't tell him I told you this, Ms. White. He's always been adamant about having a strong, independent image. He doesn't want others to see him weak or pity him, so …""I've known him for 13 years. Don't you worry

Sophia asserted, "I was the one who saved you when she turned her back on us! Your father and grandfather haven't stopped losing faith in you since that scandal at your grandfather's birthday!""Dad would never! He loves me the most!" Betty whined.A loud smack was heard as a hard slap landed on Betty's cheek. "What have I taught you all these years? Never, ever talk back to me!"Betty's ear was ringing with the force of the hit. She curled away, cupping her swelling cheek as she ground her teeth angrily."Now you've been toyed around again by that rotten brat Zoe Harper. Tell me. What else are you good for at this point? If you were born a man, this family would have crashed and burned in your hands!" Sophia was channeling all the rage she felt suffering at Jasper and Javier's hands. She continued, "If you didn't have what it takes, you should have just listened to what I say like your sister, Lauren, and not continuously give Alyssa Taylor the upper hand!"If your sister wer

The servants inhaled sharply, some even covering their mouths in shock. Did Sophia intend to take advantage of her marital status to turn the household upside down?All eyes were on Zoe and Penelope, the latter of whom had a look of utter surprise on her face."Darling, is what Mrs. Beckett is saying true?" Penelope asked Zoe.Zoe swiftly put on her act of innocence. "Of course not! Betty was the one who came up with the idea of getting someone to mimic the jewelry for Ada Kingsley!" Zoe said. Betty glared at her like she might slit her throat right now. "Stop with your filthy lies, Zoe Harper! You were the one who wanted to persuade Ada and make Alyssa fall from her pedestal! You were the one who came up with this idea!""Alyssa … Alyssa Taylor? What does this have to do with her?" Penelope asked, still surprised."I …" Now Zoe was stumped. She swallowed nervously, thinking Betty must be determined to end things with her now that she had brought up Alyssa."Where do you

"You were in Yoarkley for years. Only you would have the connections to find someone to do this dirty deed for you! If you lie to me again, I will call Tyson right now and have him fly over this instant!" Landon threatened. "Fly over?" Zoe retorted through gritted teeth. "That means you would have completed your preparations already. That means you might have even bought that man's favor. He'll just come and tell lies about me!"Things halted at this stalemate. "You really are quite cunning, Zoe Harper," Sophia said. Knowing that there was no way this conversation would progress in her favor with its current direction, she decided to bring up Alyssa again. "You used my daughter as a pawn to attack Alyssa, taking advantage of our competition with KS World Hotel to fulfill your little plan. If it succeeded, you'd win and never be found out as the culprit. "You could even push the blame entirely onto Betty! Unfortunately for you, Ms. Alyssa was Alexa herself. Otherwise, your e

There was a ringing in Betty's ears that consumed her senses entirely."Mom, save me! Mom!" she shrieked as the police dragged her away.Sophia couldn't bother to keep herself composed anymore. She dived at the policemen, trying to grab onto her daughter. "My Betty was framed! She's framed! How could you arrest her on the basis of a lie? What kind of law enforcement are you?"Landon stared coldly as Sophia and Betty wailed their lungs out. He just wanted the police to take them away as soon as possible so that he could finally have some peace."Please let go, Mrs. Beckett, or else we'll take you in for interfering with police duty!""But sir, my daughter is innocent! She is the one who framed her—Zoe Harper. She is standing right there!" Sophia glared at Zoe."This has nothing to do with me! Even if I did commission that counterfeit, I could just pay some fines. I have nothing to do with that information stealing whatsoever. Your daughter is the one who bit more than she could

Zoe retorted, "You can be an incel all your want, but Alyssa Taylor will never have eyes for you! You'll only end up with nothing!" "Zoe Harper!" Landon roared at his sister, making her flinch, frightened. "Even if she doesn't marry me, that still does not give you an excuse to harm, humiliate, or defame her! "She is a well-educated, respectable, and honest woman. Even though she's quick and lethal at times, she would never be the first to intentionally harm another person. "If, like you said, she tried to harm you, then you must've caused her trouble first!"Zoe was so angry she might pass out."Need I also remind you to give up on Jasper as soon as possible? The one woman he's interested in is Alyssa herself. Any person can see that fact clear as day except himself," Landon sneered.Even the way Landon mocked his friend was restrained!"You are coming with me to apologize to Alyssa tomorrow morning, in person," Landon snapped, then turned to leave."Are you out of your min

Yet those words had to come from his kin—his beloved kid sister. A deep part of him still didn't want to see her suffer from too harsh a punishment. The conflicting emotions pained Landon to no end."Are you having PMS or what?" Jasper flicked away the ash on his cigarette. "Seriously. What the hell is up with you?"Landon took a deep breath. "Zoe was the one who had someone make the counterfeit jewelry for Betty."Jasper's eyes darkened, but he remained silent."Did you know this from the start?"Jasper nodded. "I did."Guilt plagued Landon's heart. "Jasper, my sister is—""There's something else you should know now that it has come to this point." Jasper huffed out a puff of smoke. "Your sister was also the one who set up the reporters to catch Alyssa unaware."Landon's expression fell, as if he was stuck in quicksand that he could not pull himself out of.A moment later, he murmured weakly, "I'm sorry, Jasper."Jasper merely said, "The person who should be saying that is y

In the three days Alyssa stayed at home, she did nothing except eat and sleep like a farmed animal. Her three stepmothers took exceptional care of her. Lyla whipped up delectable dishes, leading to Alyssa gaining over three pounds in three days."I'm turning into a pig if I keep eating!" Alyssa groaned."Alright, just one last meal, dear," Lyla and Colene coaxed her toward the dining hall.With Winston and Jonah away in another state for an important event, Alyssa found herself sharing lunch with her stepmothers."Ms. Alyssa, good news!" Sean rushed in with a grin on his refreshing face. "The police have arrested Betty Beckett for suspected business crime. Sophia Kirkman is worried dead for her daughter, and Javier Beckett is busy bailing his daughter out!""It took them three whole days to arrest Betty. The Solana City Police Department certainly isn't as efficient as our Belbanks police," Alyssa remarked without surprise and gracefully dabbed her mouth with a napkin."They

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
