Lauren looked up and met Alyssa's gaze with her clear eyes. Despite the silence, Alyssa read Lauren's mind just by exchanging looks.Jasper looked over and comforted Alyssa with a hint of pleading, "This is the first time Lauren's had a crush on someone and defended him. Just think of it as Lauren going on a trip. If she's happy with Landon, let's give them a chance.""I can tell that Lauren cares about him. I don't want to get between them. I just—" Alyssa stared into Jasper's eyes.He smiled understandingly. "I know. I get it." He only reserved this side of himself for her. He added, "But don't you forget that Lauren has me too."It was a curt and powerful statement. She felt her heart skip a beat and hurriedly looked away.Jasper had always been taciturn, but each word he spoke carried weight.All the family members took their seats at Alyssa's table, except for Winston and Lyla. Jasper insisted on sitting beside Alyssa, unfazed by the disapproving looks from those around he

Jameson stood outside the hall in a modest, dark gray tailored suit, a stark contrast to his extravagantly dressed family members. His neatly slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses added an intellectual touch to his appearance."Jimmy, let's … let's go home. I'm scared …" Lily mumbled, tugging timidly at Jameson's shirt. Thanks to Jameson, she was all dressed up in an exquisite magenta dress, and she wore an expensive hairpin on her bun.Although her set of pearl jewelry seemed simple, it had been exclusively designed for the royal family in Kontina and was more valuable than diamonds.She was Jameson's only family. Therefore, he wanted the best for her. He beamed at her and held her hand, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm here with you.""But …""Mom, I brought you here tonight to meet Lyse. You said you missed her just last night, didn't you? You can meet her here tonight.""Yes. I need to meet Lyse." Her eyes lit up as she called out, "Lyse! That's Lyse!"Jameso

Looking delighted, Jameson smiled. "Thank you, Lyse."…Alyssa led Jameson and Lily into the event hall. David appeared baffled by the scene. Pointing at the door, he gasped, "Josh, look! It's that woman!"Josh casually swirled the red wine in his glass and looked up with a cold expression. He frowned when he noticed Jameson and Alyssa chatting and laughing."Jimmy seems close to Alyssa Taylor.""Pfft, right! A firecracker like her wouldn't fall for a clingy man like Jimmy," David muttered through clenched teeth, downing a glass of wine while glaring at Jameson.He added, "Jimmy is more thick-skinned than anyone else. He was busy peeling shrimp for Alyssa when nothing had even happened between them. If they start dating, he would probably lick her boots!"Clarissa shot a disdainful look at David, whose crude remarks were at odds with his status as a Schmidt."Didn't Dad want to set you up with Alyssa?" Josh chimed in with a smirk. "At this rate, your future wife will soon bec

Lily grabbed Jameson's arm with a nervous expression and insisted, "I want to sit with you. I don't want to be alone here!"Everyone at the table exchanged looks."Hey, Mandy, why do I feel that Mrs. Schmidt … acts a little weird?" Colene elbowed Mandy and asked quietly."I heard from Winston that Mrs. Schmidt has Alzheimer's. It looks like a particularly bad case. She doesn't even recognize us," Mandy whispered back."Oh gosh, Alzheimer's at such a young age? Poor woman …" Colene sighed and cast a sympathetic look at Lily.Jameson looked at Alyssa helplessly as Lily refused to let go of him.After some hesitation, Alyssa tapped Jasper on the shoulder. "Mr. Beckett, could you do us a favor and change your seat?"He looked up slowly with an astonished and aggrieved expression. "Why should I? I was here before them."Landon bit his lip, trying not to burst into laughter. Jasper was indeed quite petty!"The timing of your arrival isn't the issue. As you can see, Mrs. Schmidt does

Alyssa, looking skeptical, silently gave Jasper a look. She didn't understand what he was up to by provoking Jameson."Just some everyday goods. I ran a typical business," Jameson responded, adjusting his glasses. Only the stiffness of his lips betrayed the anger simmering beneath his facade.He added, "Mr. Beckett, I must say you're quite imaginative. I know you hold a grudge against me, but you shouldn't question my character and disregard my hard work because of it."Jasper put on an amused expression.Jameson continued, "I'm different from you. You smoothly rose up the ranks within Beckett Group and swiftly became a young businessman. "You were chosen as the heir by your grandfather. You will never understand the challenges of building a business from scratch."Alyssa took a sip of champagne after hearing Jameson's biting reply. It stirred some of her memories. She was among the few who truly comprehended Jasper's tough journey to the position of Beckett Group's president.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. Let us welcome the star of tonight, Madam Lyla!"Applause erupted in the hall."Lyla! Lyla!" Alyssa cheered happily and clapped hard.At that moment, Winston, looking dapper in a black tuxedo, led Lyla onto the stage."Damn! Dad looks incredibly handsome," Cyrus remarked, impressed by Winston's youthful appearance."He might have overdressed for the occasion, don't you think? People might mistake him for getting married a second time," Silas commented, his gaze fixed on the stage with keen interest."It would have been his fifth wedding," Landon corrected while playing with Lauren's hand. He joked, "Not too bad. At least I can still count with one hand."He made a face and behaved himself when Mandy and Colene glared at him.Silas, feeling hungry, swiped a piece of dessert and sneaked it into his mouth when no one was looking. However, Rose, seated at another table, caught his sly move and playfully called him out, "Hey, why

"How I wish I could touch the dress!""The Taylor family's prestige is the only thing that could bring Sharon out of retirement. Winston Taylor's social status must be exceptionally high. On the other hand, I doubt Sharon would even consider making a dress, even if Mrs. Beckett begged her."Jasper widened his eyes and turned around to stare at Alyssa in disbelief. She was smiling softly. He belatedly realized that Alyssa was Sharon, another one of her many identities after Alexa!His breathing quickened, and he felt a jolt of electricity. How could a woman perfect her talent across multiple industries? Alyssa seemed like a superhuman to him.Alyssa sensed his intense gaze and turned to him. She was taken aback by his reddened eyes."What's with that look? Are you sick?" she taunted him heartlessly."I never thought that you were … Sharon," he croaked, still staring keenly at her."Why are you that surprised? This isn't your first encounter with Sharon," she said with a chuckle

"Are you talking about Lyla Nelson, Winston Taylor's third wife and a has-been-actress? Why would Sharon design a dress for her?""Amazing! I am absolutely smitten with the black and red dress!""Why can't Lyla Nelson have Sharon design her dress? She was once an award-winning actress under TS Network. My parents are still her fans!""I'm a huge fan of hers too. Oops, I just revealed my age.""She was famous many years ago. She became Winston Taylor's mistress and gave birth to his child before marrying him. A woman like her doesn't deserve Sharon's attention.""This is a case of sour grapes. Any woman who bears a child for Winston Taylor gets millions in return. I would have gladly become his fifth wife and given birth to an entire football team." This particular comment received a thousand likes. It seemed like society's morals were declining, with money taking precedence over love."Lyla might be a third wife, but she's a winner! Just look at Sophia Beckett. Nobody attended

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
