Sophia leisurely filed her red nails on the couch as she made the remark.Amid Betty's outburst, she somehow felt that Sophia had been acting funny. Usually, Sophia would have jumped in and defended Betty when the latter was humiliated at home. After all, Betty was Sophia's favorite daughter. Besides, Sophia would not tolerate anyone stepping all over her at the Becketts' residence.However, Sophia's indifference was worrying. Betty wondered why Sophia had never intervened, especially when Sophia had clearly heard the commotion downstairs.Sophia nagged at her, "Betty, I do not wish to see this happening again at home. Remember, Lauren is my daughter too. How could you hit her as her elder sister? If your dad and grandpa hear about this, they'll fault me for raising you poorly."You're 25 this year, but why do you carry yourself like a manic depressive? You keep saying Lauren is abnormal, but you're not better than her!"Betty rushed up to Sophia, glowering as she asked, "Mom, I

Landon escorted Lauren into the car, with Angelina at the wheel as they departed from Seaview Manor's grounds. Inside the vehicle, he tenderly embraced Lauren and ran his fingers through her hair, his heart heavy with pain. He had dropped by Seaview Manor to invite Jasper for drinks. He'd never expected to run into the fiasco.He replayed the memories of Nina's indignant speech and Lauren's wounds on her arms with resentment. A searing pain surged through his body, unlike anything he had ever experienced. Although he had endured heartbreak after Alyssa's rejection, this anguish far surpassed any previous pain. Inhaling sharply, he rested his jaw on Lauren's head and shut his eyes. He vowed that he would keep his word to protect Lauren."Mr. Harper, where should we go next?" Angelina whispered, looking at him through the rearview mirror.Landon was caught off-guard by the question. He had told Betty he'd bring Lauren with him, but he couldn't host Lauren at his place. He'd be i

Alyssa was the first to break the silence. With a furrowed brow, she addressed Jasper, "What are you staring at? Don't you realize you're badly injured? Take off your clothes right now!""In front of everyone?" Jasper questioned hesitantly.She scolded him impatiently, "Goodness, are you feeling shy? They're all men, and your body looks the same as theirs."Xavier shuddered at the speed of Alyssa's speech. She had been gentle and obedient to Jasper in the past, but she had changed into a fiery woman.Jasper lifted his pale face and cast her a tender glance. Smiling wryly, he explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I just thought gathering everyone here for my treatment was unnecessary. I only need you."She glared at him and balled her fists. Jasper was one of the most thick-skinned guys she met.Newton, always observant, cleared his throat and urged the others, "Jasper's right. We can't be of much help here. Only Dr. Callaghan and Alice should stay, as she has experience in med

Jasper's gaze took on an unexpected, intense warmth shadowed by darkness.There was something oddly familiar about how Alyssa was tending to him right now. She took out some antiseptic cream and the medicine Omar Callaghan had given him and began cleaning out his injuries."Lyse," Jasper murmured.Alyssa said nothing, though the sudden increase in pressure in her application seemed to serve as a warning.Jasper winced at the pain but remained adamant. "You remind me of someone, Lyse. Someone I met a long time ago."Alyssa was focused on tending to his wounds and merely responded with, "Who?""I don't know either.""What do you mean you don't know?""I mean, I really don't know who they were," Jasper said as he recalled those memories from years ago—that person's lithe but strong figure appearing in mind. "I was still in the Peacekeeping Forces when I met her on the battlefield."Alyssa's hold on the cotton she was using faltered. Her heart fell into her stomach, pounding heavi
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 584
Alyssa's heart thudded in her chest, nearly coming to a stop as she was left stunned.She'd thought she was the only one who kept that memory from the battlefield so sacred. Who knew Jasper treated it with just as much importance, even trying his best to track her down all these years. If it had been any other woman, he would have easily found her.Unfortunately for Jasper, he didn't know White Dove had been right beside him all this time, even married to him once upon a time under the name of "Alice White".After parting ways with him in Luminara, Alyssa erased all traces of her in that war. She'd used a false identity to help as a medic in that war to avoid her father's fury. So how could Jasper have uncovered her true identity when she'd been so careful to leave no clue behind?"Are you okay? Was I too harsh, Lyse?" Jasper asked worriedly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get upset at you. I just wanted to make my stand clear. White Dove saved my life. The only thing I feel for he

Jasper then gently held her hand and kissed the back of her palm.Alyssa blushed furiously, flinching just the slightest in response. Yet she forgot to pull her hand away."I'm sorry, Alyssa. I'm sorry for making you listen to all that. Could you please forgive me this once?" Jasper asked earnestly, gazing into her eyes.Was this still Solana City's revered bachelor, Jasper Beckett? The man whom corporations feared to cross? Or had someone taken over his body?Alyssa cleared her throat lightly, saying nothing else as she watched Jasper kneel before her.A sense of glee welled up in her chest."What is wrong with you tonight?" she asked. "How could you just stand there and let your father beat you up?She wrinkled her nose, poking at his forehead as she snapped, "You're a 30-year-old man. Couldn't you have retaliated even a little bit? Do you two have a father-son relationship or a slave-master one?""Did you worry about me?" Jasper asked, tilting his head."You saved my life a

Ten minutes later, Landon brought Lauren to the ENT department. The doctor quickly did a series of checkups on Lauren while Landon and Angeline waited anxiously to the side."Will she be okay, doctor?" Landon finally asked."Some external trauma appears to have caused her eardrum to rupture," the doctor replied truthfully. "Most of the cases I encounter result from severe slaps or punches. Some serious cases end up with long-term tinnitus."Landon and Angelica's expressions fell as they feared for Lauren's health."Is full recovery possible, doctor?" Angelica asked worriedly, as if she was Lauren's sister."Yes. The perforation isn't too big, and you sent her here without a moment's delay, so it seems full recovery should … ""Should?" Landon gritted out."It will! Full recovery will occur! All that's needed is surgery and proper care afterward." The doctor quickly corrected himself, frightened by Landon's threatening glare."That had better be the case." Landon held Lauren in

Alyssa had just finished tending to Jasper's wound when Ben walked in. "How are you doing, Mr. Jasper?""Very well, thanks to Alyssa." Jasper shot her a fond look as he spoke.Alyssa instinctively looked away. Jasper used to be so stoic. What was with all this passion and emotion now? "You have our sincere thanks, Ms. Alyssa." Ben bowed, but Alyssa quickly helped him up."You don't need to do this, Ben. It was my duty, after all."Ben wasn't one to be nosy, but he still wanted to see Jasper be together with Alyssa again. "You're still as kind to Mr. Jasper as always.""Please don't misunderstand. I'm only doing this because Jasper is important to Grandpa." Alyssa smiled lightly. "I do what I do only for Grandpa's sake."Ben met her smile. Jasper, on the other hand, grinned warmly at her. He was used to her indignance by now. He just had to read her body language or pay attention to what she said. One of them was bound to tell him the truth."Mr. Jasper, if you're able to wal

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

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
