Zoe was terrorized by Landon's wrath. She had witnessed him teaching Donna and Gary a lesson. He hadn't even spared Gary, who had been serving him for years. The punishment he had inflicted on Gary seemed almost fatal.All of this chaos was because of Lauren. Zoe couldn't fathom why Landon would go to such lengths for an idiot. In comparison, she felt that she had been reduced to a joke as his sister.After leaving the villa, she returned to the Harper Residence with a resentful scowl. Throughout the journey, she couldn't hold back her tears when she reminisced about how Landon had used to spoil her.Amidst her anger, Zoe made a resolute decision. No matter what, she was determined to come between Landon and Lauren. She would never accept Lauren as her sister-in-law."Zoe, you're finally home!" Penelope called out. She teared up after a long separation from her daughter and came out to hug Zoe. "My darling, I thought your flight had landed earlier. Why are you only home now? I wa

Zoe's eyes burned with anger, and she trembled as she shared, "Landon hasn't been around for a long time because he's living with Lauren Beckett! He's even bought a place for her!"Penelope felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her, and her face paled."I hate Sophia and Betty, and I wouldn't want Lauren as my future sister-in-law. But Landon is infatuated with her! He raised his voice at me for that woman, and he even—" Zoe deliberately paused for suspense."What else did he do to you?""He hit me!" Zoe said, tears rolling down like a waterfall."Where did he hit you?""My face! He slapped me in front of his staff and that Beckett bitch! Mom, my face hurts!" Zoe moaned and reached for a hug as she cried her heart out.Penelope's heart ached for her beloved daughter. Her eldest son, who had always been obedient, had had the audacity to fight with his sister over Sophia's daughter. She couldn't help but wonder if Landon might one day sever ties with her, his own mother, as w

Lyla took a few seconds to get used to the bright light before her eyes widened in shock.A mannequin stood before her, dressed in a grand yet elegant red and black gown, its flowing train blooming like that of a dark rose. "It … it's beautiful," Lyla exclaimed, dazed."Lyse had that internationally-renowned designer, Sharon, make this just for you, Lyla!" Mandy cooed, holding onto Lyla's shoulders. "My goodness, and here I thought I had seen it all. I still feel like squealing in joy seeing Sharon's design before my eyes! It's absolutely gorgeous!"Alyssa had long been used to the world's praise for her designs under her alias, Sharon. Still, it couldn't beat the joy and pride she felt upon hearing praise from her own family.She silently basked in her joy, grinning."Sharon? This is too precious, Lyse!" Lyla cried, holding Alyssa's hand. Her cheeks were flushed with joy and bashfulness. "You must have put in a lot of money and effort to get this made, right? You really did

It was as if the sea itself had been crystallized into a single piece of jewelry."Thank you, Lyse …" Lyla croaked out tearfully. "I love it! Thank you so much …""I didn't want to use a more precious stone, lest Winston's gift pale in comparison, and I thought a lighter shade of crystal like this one was far more suitable for you." Alyssa beamed at her. "I enjoy crafting my designs according to the wearer's personality and aura. The fact that I designed it makes it exceed in value far more than the value of the crystal itself."Mandy and Colene then led Lyla to unveil the presents they had gotten for her.When Alyssa's phone began ringing, she stepped out into the hallway to check on it."Hello?" She answered in a flat tone."I called to report my status to you, Ms. Alyssa. I'm feeling much better now." Jasper's voice was especially tender tonight and irresistibly sensual. "Next time you would like to know how I'm doing, please don't hesitate to call me instead of going thro

Both Lyla and Sophia's birthdays happened to be on the same weekend.Sophia was so excited the night before that she barely got any sleep. All she could think of was how stunning she would be during her birthday celebration, with all eyes on her. She had even had photo reels of her from her glory days as an actress made, which would be played on loop onstage during the celebration for everyone to admire.Sophia ended up looking like the undead the next morning, with sunken hair, bloodshot eyes, and eyebags so dark and heavy that it looked like she had prosthetics on. Makeup was sorely needed, lest she looked like some ravenous ghoul.She was nearly 50 years old, after all. Unlike in her youth, when she would spend days shooting continuously, one sleepless night was enough to make all her wrinkles stand out in the spotlight."What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get my makeup artist!" she roared, pacing back and forth in her room. She even shattered an expensive crystal glass ou

Still, one couldn't help but find him to be much less enthusiastic than before.Lauren and Betty sat in front of their parents, with Lauren hunched tight around the teddy bear Alyssa had given her so as to comfort herself.Betty wore a cocktail dress that had just been released to the market recently, looking quite the model big sister beside Lauren."Tonight is Mom's big day, Lauren. Why didn't you put on any makeup?" Betty asked, a faux grin on her face as she gently caressed Lauren's long, sleek hair. "Do you not know how to? You should have told me earlier. I would have loved to help."Lauren tensed up instantly, her lips pressing tightly together."That perm I gave you before was such a good look on you. I could have given you one today, too," Betty snickered.All of a sudden, Lauren slapped Betty's hand away. Both Sophia and Javier were shocked by this. They had never seen their youngest daughter behave like this."Ow! What was that for, Lauren? It hurts!" Betty cried,

Betty was silently trembling with rage beside Lauren, her lips twitching. She wanted nothing more than to tear at Lauren's face right now.This fucking bitch! Did she really think that she could do as she pleased just because Landon was protecting her? Betty thought menacingly, "I'm going to kill you if it's the last thing I do!"…Though Sophia had insisted on a low-profile celebration, she had still allowed the media to get word of it. After all, she needed it like a fish needed water.The reporters were pacing around the hotel prior to Sophia's arrival. They quickly surrounded her when she arrived, though she remained behind a circle of bodyguards as she walked into the hotel, looking like some kind of big shot."Mrs. Beckett!""Madam Sophia!"The reporters cried, snapping all the photos they could get of her and her family.Javier was displeased with this turn of events but remained indifferent before the reporters."Your family has arrived for your wife's birthday celeb

The ballroom was a pitiful sight with how empty it was. The few men who had attended were Javier's business partners instead of anyone Sophia knew. The only women in the room besides Sophia and her daughters were the hotel staff and the pianist they hired! All the rich men's wives and mistresses who appeared to be on good terms with Sophia were nowhere to be found!Damn it! Damn it to hell!If the reporters hadn't been present right now, Sophia would have thrown a tantrum right then and there.Javier's brows furrowed just the slightest, but besides that, he didn't show much emotion.Meanwhile, Betty was shocked. She had known how bad her mother's relationships in their social circle were, but not to this extent!"Hurry up and take those photos! This is going to make the headlines!" a reporter cried, followed by frantic snapshots of the virtually empty ballroom."We can title this 'Madam Sophia Beckett's Birthday Bash—Truly Bashed! No Longer the Starlet of Yesterday'!" "This i

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
