A powerful voice caught everyone's attention, and to their surprise, it was Newton who had arrived at the entrance with Ben by his side. Alyssa's presence was so commanding that neither Javier nor Sophia had noticed Newton's arrival."Grandpa!" Jasper and Alyssa exclaimed simultaneously, with Alyssa appearing particularly close to Newton.Sophia instantly grew flustered and sweated in Newton's presence."Dad, what brings you here?" asked Javier, his hand trembling in astonishment."If I hadn't made it here on time, my grandson would have been whipped to death," Newton growled in his wheelchair, looking authoritative. He shook emotionally at the sight of a heavily injured Jasper and anxiously asked, "Jasper, are you okay?""I'm fine, Grandpa." Jasper flashed him a reassuring smile. "Ben, please call my physician to attend to Jasper.""Of course, Mr. Newton," Ben replied, promptly making the call.Sophia tugged at Javier's shirt and shifted the blame toward Alyssa, saying, "Oh

The spacious hall remained quiet. Amused, Alyssa blinked and smiled.Jasper was cheered up by the animated look on her face and put behind the pain he was enduring. He fixed his eyes on her with a contented smile.In the meantime, a hushed astonishment gripped the onlookers as they watched Newton berating the current patriarch, Javier, in their presence. The public scolding was doubly humiliating, given Javier's prominent social standing. He had turned into a punchbag.Javier, nursing a wounded ego, flushed with anger and hissed, "Barry, please get everyone to leave the hall.""No! No one is allowed to leave before we settle this matter once and for all!" Newton declared with authority. When she was angry, Alyssa bore a striking resemblance to Newton, as if they were blood relatives."Dad, what do you mean?" Javier inquired, his brows furrowing in anger."It means exactly what you think it is!" Newton responded, his eyes half-closed as he taunted his son, "If you can bruise Jas

Alyssa widened her eyes in shock and stared at Jasper."KS Group has been competing against us for a long time. Your beloved Alyssa has been finding trouble with the Beckett Group, leading to stock price volatility and causing a loss of a few billion dollars!"We are finally hosting an event on the weekend to network with the high society of Solana City. As the company president, Jasper refuses to uphold the company's reputation and instead sides with our rival! How can I not be furious with him?"Alyssa's eyes widened even further in disbelief, and her heart skipped a beat."Is the event in question Sophia's birthday party?" Newton questioned.Javier replied, "Yes, it's her birthday party, and it's also a rare networking opportunity.""Alright, if Jasper isn't going, count me out.""What?" Javier's expression fell."Not only am I not attending, but I'll be joining Alice at Winston's wife's birthday party. What do you say to that? Are you going to beat me into submission, too?"

Alyssa, Jasper, and the others followed Newton back to Crescent Bay villa. Newton enthusiastically held Jasper and Alyssa's hands with each of his, refusing to let go at all.Not only that, he cussed out Javier and Sophia with creative, colorful language during the trip. Alyssa even worried that he would get exhausted from all the name-calling.After venting his anger, Newton started feeling bad for Jasper. He moaned and sighed about his poor grandson while discreetly trying to put Jasper's hand on top of Alyssa's.Jasper smiled at Alyssa from beside Newton as his heart exploded in joy. She noticed his passionate eyes but merely pressed her lips and ignored him.Her indifference worried him, and he tried to hold her hand. All of a sudden, the warmth in his hand disappeared as she had removed her hand.He gazed up and accidentally met her eyes. She was glaring at him as though she would skin him alive.Jasper resigned to the current situation. It seemed that he had failed to hold

Alyssa silently rolled her eyes at Jasper and mused, "Did I ask for your opinion, you jerk?""Go on, Alice! I believe you wanted to discuss this after careful consideration," Newton said gently."Grandpa, I hope you can step in and bring Lauren out of Seaview Manor to live with you," Alyssa voiced out without reservations because she treated Newton as family.Jasper concurred, "I agree."Alyssa shot back, "I never asked for your input."He narrowed his eyes and grinned. "It's okay. Even if you didn't ask for my opinion, I wholeheartedly support the idea."She glared at him irritatedly and clenched her jaw. She was so frustrated that she nearly left the car.Newton asked with concern, "Alice, did you suggest this because something happened to Lauren?""She is autistic, but her parents are busy taking care of the family and running a company. I'm afraid they don't have time to look after her, which will not help her condition at all."My hope is for Lauren to stay with you and e

Just as a spectacle had ended, another was about to start. As Javier and Jasper weren't home, Betty was emboldened to act out.She was convinced that Lauren had leaked news of Jasper's punishment to Newton. So, she marched to Lauren's room and dragged Lauren to the living room by her hair. She seemed to have picked up a thing or two from Javier and decided to reenact the punishment right away."B-Betty, let go of me! My scalp hurts!" Lauren pleaded, tears welling up as she felt the pain in her hair."You little traitor! Bitch! Oh, it hurts? Great. I'll teach you a lesson for selling out!" Betty cursed vehemently while delivering a stinging slap to Lauren's face."Ouch!"The loud slap echoed through the hall, leaving the household staff shocked and concerned for Lauren. However, they remained powerless to intervene as mere employees.Lauren covered her face and wept, "Betty, it's all my fault! I will not repeat my mistake!" She knew that no one would come to her help. She had wa

"You've hurt Nina. Apologize to her now!" Lauren sprang up from the ground, her delicate shoulders trembling with anger as she fixed a piercing gaze on her sister. This was one of Lauren's rare outbursts."Apologize to her? Hahaha! You're delusional!" Betty laughed, but she was interrupted by Lauren's next move. Lauren snarled and charged at her like an angry bull at lightning speed. Before anyone could react, she had knocked Betty onto the ground. Betty landed on her back like an upturned turtle, narrowly avoiding an embarrassing flash of her skirt.The servants around them snorted and let out stifled laughs. "Lauren Beckett!" Betty seethed with anger as if she might spontaneously combust. She sprang to her feet, feeling an urge to tear Lauren into pieces."Come up here! Hold her down right now!" Betty commanded. The two stocky maids, who were loyal to Sophia and Betty, rushed over right away and held Lauren's arms.Lauren fought back with all her might, her eyes wide with rag

"Release her," Landon commanded, his gaze unwavering as it bore down on the two maids. His tone carried a menacing edge akin to an infernal angel. The two maids nervously looked to Betty for help.Betty was aware of Landon's affection for Lauren from the way he ordered the maids around. She had wanted to cave in for her Mr. McDreamy but changed her mind upon second thought.Following Sophia's clash with the Harpers after Zoe's incident, any hopes of Landon developing feelings for Betty had been shattered. Moreover, Landon's intervention in their family affairs, even if it was out of concern for Lauren, was entirely unwarranted.Brimming with resentment, Betty hissed, "Do not release her! You're working for the Becketts, and you shall listen to m—"Her words were abruptly silenced by a piercing scream. One of the maids restraining Lauren was sent hurtling through the air by the force of Landon's kick. Betty stared in shock as the maid landed on the floor like a ragdoll.The sec

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
