Chapter 644

Author: Ginger Sue
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

    In the hall, Josh and Clarissa were having a lively conversation with Jonah. Josh had not only taken over several substantial holding companies under Schmidt Group but was also expected to take over the company one day. Jonah, on the other hand, being Winston's eldest and all, would likely take over KS Group one day as well. Hence, Josh didn't mind spending some time building a connection with Jonah, even though he held no respect for the polyamorous relationship Winston Taylor had."I heard KS Group intends to develop in Solana City, Mr. Jonah. You've made quite some progress lately." Josh had on his winning smile. "I'm sure we'll be seeing one another in the business world soon. We're on the same level, and our parents are good friends. I do hope that friendship extends to our generation and beyond."Jonah smiled lightly and made a toast to him. "If you ever have any big projects in Solana City, Mr. Jonah, you know where to find us. I'm sure if we worked together, we would

    "Mr. Josh, I also heard that Ms. Alyssa had found Ms. Caldwell insulting Ms. Tatiana," Morgan said worriedly. "I don't think Ms. Alyssa plans to let this go lightly, sir. Things might escalate if you don't show up right now."Josh's expression was dark as he tugged at his tie. "Alright then."…Alyssa had wanted to deliver Brie to justice, but after Tatiana's persistent pleas not to make a bigger scene and take care of it in private instead, Alyssa had decided to do just that.They were in one of the empty halls right now, with two burly bodyguards flanking Brie. Under pressure, Brie's obnoxious demeanor from earlier had disappeared entirely.Alyssa was lounging on the couch with Tatiana, her legs folded together. Beside them, Sean stood with a fruit plate in hand.Appearing relaxed, Alyssa slowly fed a piece of cantaloupe to Tatiana. She asked, "Sean told me that this woman had insulted you before? And that she had made some terrible insinuations, too."Brie began quivering,

    The smile on Josh's face was tinged with frost. "I've only seen this woman once in my life and have no reason to come to her defense. Why would you wish to settle her issues with me?""M-Mr. Josh … " Brie stammered, her face pasty, as she gazed at Josh. She had pleased him so thoroughly in bed a few days ago, yet here he was abandoning her so easily!"Oh? In that case …" Alyssa's eyes narrowed into sly crescents. "You wouldn't mind if I took Ms. Caldwell out to the main hall for a stroll, would you? To let everyone, and especially Madam Clarissa, get to know her?"Brie was scared out of her wits by now.Meanwhile, Josh paled instantly. His gaze grew hostile. "What is your intention here, Ms. Alyssa?""Nothing much, really." Alyssa leaned against the couch, her gaze just as hostile. "One should always refer to the owner before reprimanding their mutt. I only hope the owner of this one knows when to reprimand them themselves. I'm only a young woman, after all. It would be terrib

    "But do hurry. The celebration is about to begin."The door slammed shut behind Alyssa and the others.Ten minutes later, Josh and Morgan walked out of the hall. The former's watch was still stained with blood. A woman's wails and sobs of pain could be heard in the hall he had just left."Clean the mess up," Josh instructed Morgan."Yes, sir!""Alyssa Taylor really is something." Josh emanated a frosty air as he cracked his knuckles. "It's been a long time since I've met someone who dared challenge me. If she wants to play, I'll play along with her."…Alyssa felt incredibly satisfied after getting revenge for Tatiana. But the latter still felt uncomfortable.Knowing this, Alyssa gave her and Sean some alone time. The two went to the balcony to freshen up after the whole ordeal.Sean took off his coat and wrapped it around Tatiana's shoulders, since she was quivering in the cold. "Here. The wind is stronger here.""Did you … tell my sister about the other night when Brie me

    Alyssa hummed a tune and headed for the event hall, knowing that Brie was done for good. That put her in a great mood.Given her understanding of Josh—no, her understanding of men in general—their egos often got the better of them. Now that Brie had disgraced Josh, she had landed herself in hot water.Alyssa believed Brie deserved everything that had happened for bullying Tatiana."Lyse." Suddenly, she heard a low and affectionate voice calling out from behind. Her heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists. No other man could make her flustered except for Jasper, the man whom she loved and suffered for.She inhaled deeply and calmed herself before turning around coldly. He stood a few steps away with an exquisite gift box in his hand. He marched up to her with a regal air about him."I'm here," he said to her tenderly. Alyssa replied flatly, "Okay."He pursed his lips and looked apologetic. "I'm sorry. I wanted to come early and lend you a hand, but I still … got late.

    "I'll always speak the truth, even if it means taking a punch. You have an amazing body," Jasper reiterated with sincerity.He was probably the most classy playboy ever, flirting around with a straight face."Shut up! Stop talking!" Alyssa snapped at him. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes blazed with anger. "Stay away from me, or I'll castrate you!""That's fine. I'm not interested in having kids anyway. It's not like I have a crown to pass down," he replied, gazing at her in a daze.Defying her, he took a step closer. They could pick up each other's scent at that distance. He confessed, "I'm only interested in you, Lyse. Telling me to stay away from you is the same as killing me.""Well, consider yourself dead, then! Bye!" She turned and stomped away indignantly with red cheeks.She knew Jasper wasn't to blame for the accident just now, but he shouldn't have commented on her body in the first place.It was no surprise that Jasper was friends with Landon; birds of a feathe

    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

    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
