Just like that, a red crescent appeared on Lauren's cheek."Mom is already so angry because of that bitch Alyssa's meddling! Why must you still come to her defense? You're already useless as it is!" Betty shrieked."Alyssa isn't a bitch!" Lauren grew angrier, meeting Betty's yells."Then who is?" Betty roared, making the guests shoot her inquisitive looks."Not her!" Lauren cried, standing up to glare right into Betty's eyes, which were now shocked.Lauren could tolerate Betty scolding her and hurting her, but she wouldn't let her humiliation of Alyssa stand!"How dare you conniving little beast yell at me? You think you're so powerful now that Landon has your back, do you?" Betty yelled, reaching out to grab Lauren's arm. She'd had enough of Lauren's jabs tonight.Just then, the ballroom doors opened.All eyes turned as a man walked in steadily."L-Landon … " Lauren murmured, her eyes tearing up as she called out to him.Landon met her gaze, his own fervent with passion and

"Ow!" Betty winced, nearly falling backward."Lauren." Landon stood before Lauren, gazing lovingly at her as she blushed. "You look beautiful tonight.""Huh?" Lauren mumbled, her heart pounding in her chest."It's so boring here. Do you want to go somewhere with me?" Landon extended his hand to her."Go where?" "Wherever you want. Just name it, and I'll take you there." Sincerity filled Landon's eyes.For some reason, Lauren wanted to cry. She had always been the slowest yet most obedient child in her family. She never learned what it was like to be doted on or have what she wanted fulfilled. This was a first for her."I … I want to find Alyssa and my brother," she mumbled, her voice small."Alright. I'll take you to them." Landon held her hand and turned to leave with her.The hall was dead silent.When the two reached the entrance, Landon stopped in his tracks suddenly, nearly making Lauren slam right into his back.He turned around and nodded respectfully to Javier b

Landon held Lauren's hand as he steadily walked forward. He smiled, feeling the sweat on her palm from how nervous she was."L-Landon, why aren't we going to the parking lot?" Lauren asked worriedly when they reached the hotel lobby."The underground parking lot takes too long to drive through. My car is parked right outside.""But … but the reporters are outside." Lauren suddenly stopped in her tracks, growing rigid with fear. "I-If we go out right now, the reporters are going to write nonsense.""Nonsense? What kind of nonsense?" Landon took off his coat and draped it around Lauren's shoulders, then buttoned it up for her.He was such a caring boyfriend!"If this nonsense they write just so happens to be what I genuinely feel, then it wouldn't be nonsense at all," Landon said."Um … you know … they're going to say we … we're in that kind of relationship … " Lauren mumbled, her face flushed red. Her voice had grown softer the more she spoke, tickling Landon's heart like a gen

"Fuck me! Seriously? I've heard of the Beckett family daughter who never shows herself … So this is her? Wow, she's even prettier than I imagined!""That sister of hers, Betty, is always flaunting herself around like she's some great beauty. But now we know her sister is far more beautiful than her!""Tsk … Mr. Harper's taste in women really is fine!"Seeing how chaotic the situation was becoming, Angelina swiftly sent two bodyguards to help create a path for Landon amidst the crowd.As the camera lights flashed in their faces, Lauren shyly buried her face in Landon's shirt."Don't worry. I'm right here," Landon murmured in her ear."Okay."That simple response made happiness bloom in Landon's chest."Is Ms. Lauren your new girlfriend, Mr. Harper?""Mr. Harper, are you two officially dating?"Excited, the reporters tossed out one question after the other.All of Solana City knew just how much of a playboy Landon was. However, he had never shown himself in public with any of

KS World Hotel was brimming with activity in comparison to Berenike Hotel. Luxury cars filled the streets outside, and their owners were all well-known members of elite society. Many were dressed exceptionally well, bejeweled, and dazzling in their own way.Though Winston had agreed to Lyla's request to make this celebration as low-key as possible, who could maintain a low profile in the Taylor family? They held a formidable position in society and were already planning on developing further in Solana City, so it was only natural for their guests to show respect by turning up.Plus, Winston was father to the latest star on the rise—Alyssa Taylor!In order not to steal Lyla's spotlight, Colene and Mandy remained upstairs, where they tended to their close friends instead of joining the party. Rather than feeling left out, they were glad to have such a relaxed time to themselves.Meanwhile, Tatiana was helping Alyssa tend to the guests since it was her mother's birthday after all.

Sean was stunned. Alyssa's actions always seemed to catch him by surprise."But both Josh and his wife, Clarissa, are here tonight. Won't Brie cause a scene? It's Madam Lyla's birthday after all. Wouldn't it be better to end the night on a positive note?" Sean asked, concerned."That's why I'm not going to let her past the front door and let her become a pain in everyone's ass.""Do you mean?" Alyssa narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them. "Don't you worry. I'll be sure she's taken care of before the celebration officially starts."…Meanwhile, Tatiana had gone to the restroom. After she finished powdering her nose, she hurried back outside. "You stupid beasts! What are you stopping me for? Can't you see I have an invitation?" The familiar yet irritating voice made Tatiana stop in her tracks. Her heart sank briefly as she turned to look at its source.Tatiana spotted two security guards holding Brie back not far away while she yelled at the top of her lungs, flinging

How could a hotel manager who only drove a Porsche possibly maintain a girlfriend like Tatiana? Tatiana must really fool around in private, yet she still always acted like she was so innocent.How disgusting!"Who are you calling a bitch? Show some respect!" Sean couldn't hold his anger back anymore as he cracked his knuckles menacingly. "You'd best not trust her too much, kid. She might look innocent, but she's secretly very experienced in bed," Brie said with a toss of her hair, staring right at Tatiana. "Her scandals have long spread throughout our campus. Everyone in Solana Film Academy knows what a slut she is in. Only an outsider like you would be fooled without your knowledge."Sean was so angry that his shoulders were shaking. Alyssa had made him promise to control himself. At the same time, he understood he had to let Brie lose composure first before getting rid of her. But he still found it incredibly difficult to hold back right now."We can talk about your grievan

But then, what was up with this invite?"Forgery is indeed concerning. We'll do as you suggested, Sean, and send her to the police station," Alyssa instructed."Yes, Ms. Alyssa." Sean nodded.He turned to the guards and instructed, "Take her away!""Why? I didn't commit any crime!" Brie cried, her face turning an ugly shade of red. She then pointed to Tatiana. "If you want to take me away, then she should be coming with me! She shouldn't be here in the first place, given her status!"Tatiana was about to retort when Alyssa beat her to it, asking slowly, "Oh? What do you mean by that? Why can't she be here?""She's my classmate! I know her better than anyone else here!" Brie had always been someone who tossed others under the bus, even when she was in trouble. "She would never get an invitation for this event tonight! Your secretary must have snuck her in! I can leave, but she has to too!""Taty, is this woman really your classmate?" Alyssa asked softly, going to Tatiana's si

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
