Meanwhile, Jasper was recuperating at a private villa in a nearby suburb.On that particular day, he had taken the medication, marking the conclusion of his first round of treatment. He was aware that Alyssa's employees would deliver the medication for the second round later on.He believed Alyssa was only repaying him for his help, not doing it out of genuine affection for him.Throughout the day, he had experienced mild chest pains. To his surprise, a high fever struck him during the night."Xavier? Xavier?" he croaked, his throat parched and sore, as he struggled to keep his eyes open.After a while, he remembered that he had sent Xavier on an errand to pick up some important documents from Beckett Group. Xavier was probably on the way right now.He managed to rise from the bed, only to discover that his sheets were soaked in sweat. His hair clung to his forehead, and his entire body was drenched, as if he had fallen into a pool.Changing into fresh pajamas, he went downstair

"I was wrong for forcing you against your will. I won't make you do anything that makes you uncomfortable," Jasper announced. His pale complexion was strangely captivating, leaving Alyssa momentarily entranced.Clearing her throat, she placed the medication on the table and rose. "These are the medications for your second round of treatment. Take them on time. I'm leaving."Jasper shook his head and insisted, "No, please take them with you."Frowning, she admonished him, "What are you thinking? Do you want to risk your life? You're a rising star in the business world with a substantial net worth. Are you seriously throwing it all away?""No. I just feel like you shouldn't be indebted to me. I might have saved your life, but I did that because I was making up to you," he explained, shaking his head once more. He added, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, no matter how bad my state is. Besides, I'm much better now. I don't need the medication."Much better? Who was he trying t

Alyssa felt Jasper's hot and heavy breath on her neck, like flames licking her skin, leaving it tinged red."Jasper, are you out of your mind? What's all this nonsense? Jasper!" she exclaimed.Jasper's thin pajamas were soaked with sweat, and it seeped into Alyssa's shirt as well.He teetered between consciousness and a haze of excruciating pain, his body aching. The only thought in his mind was holding onto the woman he loved, despite how pathetic and shameless it made him appear."Lyse, please don't leave me … Don't hate me …" Jasper buried his damp face in her neck and spoke in tears. It was heart-wrenching to hear.Alyssa could feel the warmth on her shoulders. It was impossible to tell if it was sweat or tears. A profound bitterness suddenly washed over her, gripping her very soul.She thought, "Oh, Jasper, you've never been so small in front of me."When she had cried and begged him not to divorce her, he had callously tossed the divorce papers in front of her, forcing her

As Jasper's good friend, Landon felt obliged to help his bro.…Moving a nearly six-foot-tall man to the bedroom proved to be a huge challenge. Thankfully, the villa was equipped with an elevator. Alyssa managed to drag Jasper to the bedroom, feeling as though she was lugging a lifeless body.Upon settling him in bed, she realized that their sweat had mingled, leaving her shirt soaked. "You're incredibly heavy! Count yourself lucky that I didn't have to dismember you." Alyssa panted.Then, she hurried to the bathroom to retrieve a wet towel. She gently applied it to Jasper's skin to alleviate his fever.Exhausted, she slumped beside the bed and complained, "I'm so speechless. Why did you push yourself so hard when you're already sick? You're a handful."She shot the unconscious man an irritated look. Despite her harsh remarks, a sense of guilt gnawed at her, knowing she was partially responsible for his illness."Lyse …" Jasper mumbled with his eyes closed. His lashes flutte

Pinching Alyssa's chin between his fingers, Jasper leaned forward and kissed her aggressively. His tongue forced its way into her mouth and passionately tangoed with hers.…Landon and Xavier were trapped in a seemingly endless wait on the first floor. Xavier paced nervously, casting occasional glances at the second floor.Meanwhile, Landon sat on the couch with a grim expression and stared down at the surveillance footage that played on his phone. He replayed the scene where Zoe had bullied Lauren a couple of times. His anger grew with each replay."Mr. Harper, what are you watching? You look serious," Xavier wondered and went up to Landon. Landon shot him a death glare and waved him away, saying, "Go away. I don't air my dirty laundry."Stunned by Landon's anger, Xavier retreated right away. Landon went back to watching the footage.His heart ached at Lauren's reflex reaction—she had curled up into a ball and wrapped her arms around her head when Zoe had approached her. Wai

Alyssa left the villa and entered Landon's luxury car. Landon quipped, "Lyse, it's rare that you're willing to spend time with me."His eyes were always seductive. He watched the beautiful Alyssa with a grin."I've become more aware of my boundaries now, but I'm concerned that my jealous friend, Jasper, might be upset if he finds out we're chatting here. He's still unwell.""Do you think I would be in the same space with you if it hadn't been for Lauren?" She folded her legs and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Landon Harper, you're a notorious charmer. Did your preference for women shift to our innocent Lauren because you're tired of the sexy ladies you dated?"At the mention of Lauren's name, a shiver coursed through Landon. He responded with a shaky voice, "Lyse, you know about Lauren and me?"Alyssa replied with a smirk, "You and her? You're confusing me now.""Lyse, look, I don't want to hide this from you any longer," Landon said. He took a deep breath and, wi

"Or perhaps, you think of Lauren as the least important Beckett daughter. Do you only deem her good enough as a mistress, not a wife?""Alyssa Taylor! How could you—" Landon snapped at her. This was the first time in his life that he had felt genuine anger toward her. It suddenly became clear to him why Jasper would frequently cough up blood—it must have been because of Alyssa."Enough. There's no point in arguing. I'm all for true love, but I refuse to watch Lauren suffer by your side," she concluded. Her eyes welled up with tears at the thought of Lauren, who had endured abuse at home.She pleaded, "Life has been harsh for Lauren. I don't want to see her endure more suffering. Landon, you come from a complicated world, which would be a burden for Lauren. Please think this over."…After taking Jasper to the hospital, Landon returned home, utterly drained.He considered the villa he shared with Lauren his home. He might have a mom and a sister, but his mom had been depressed e

"Shall we sleep?" Landon blurted it out without much thought, but he instantly regretted it.He sounded like a pervert whose only thought was to get it on. That wasn't what he had intended."I'm not sleepy," Lauren finally said softly. "I just wanted some quiet time.""Oh. I'll keep you company," he offered, gently caressing her nape. "I won't sleep if you're awake. If you find me bothersome, I'll sit beside you quietly. You'll need someone to get you drinks and food when you're thirsty or hungry, isn't that right?""What if I stay up all night?""I'll stay up with you.""Alright then. Go ahead and sleep," she softly urged him, still not looking up.Feeling dejected, he sighed heavily and said, "If you'd rather I leave, I will." With that, he made a move to get up.Lauren suddenly grabbed his arm and held it tightly as her breathing quickened."Lauren?" He was taken aback."Please don't go, Landon! Don't leave!" she pleaded, looking up with trembling lips and tear-streake

"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

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
