"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

"Mom, calm down." Betty approached Sophia shakily. She took a seat beside Sophia and continued, "I hate seeing you so upset. How can I help?""If you want to help, how about getting rid of Lyla Nelson for me? Can you do that?" Sophia gritted her teeth."I—" Betty was at a loss for words."I thought Lyla married Winston because she had no other choice and that she would be a worthless mistress forever. She's a loser who bore a useless daughter for him," Sophia remarked bitterly.Betty thought that Sophia's remark backfired on herself, for Sophia had given birth to two daughters."I never thought that Winston loved her so much as to throw her a huge birthday party and even hire Sharon to design a dress! How could Lyla enjoy a more glamorous life than me?" Sophia's face reddened, and she fought back tears. The more glamorous Lyla's life became despite starting off as a mistress, the more Sophia felt like a joke as Javier's only wife."Mom, anger won't solve anything. We should f

A thunderous applause broke out in the hall. One guest commented, "Mr. Taylor might not have bought a property or jewelry for his wife, but he generously donated five million dollars to her charity foundation. That shows how much he cares about her.""Mr. Taylor's gift is creative and meaningful, unlike the other husbands who always buy their wives the same gifts. "This not only elevates Lyla's stature but also builds a positive image for the Taylor family. It's a win-win solution."Newton, Victor, and Jonah were seated together at the same table just below the stage.Victor grumbled under his breath, "What's that guy using to maintain his youthful appearance?" He turned to Jonah and inquired, "Jonah, what's your dad's skincare like? He's aging backward. Just tell me."Jonah offered a humble smile. "He probably uses some makeup."Victor and Winston had been silently competing against each other for decades."Oh, where did he hire his makeup artist from? That's a pretty natu

Josh leisurely sipped his red wine, his expression dripping with disdain. He commented, "Jimmy has always been a smart aleck. He doesn't understand that trying too hard will backfire on him."While he might have pleased Alyssa with that gift, little does he know he's pissed Dad off. Dad still holds the power."David grinned and added, "Well, let Jimmy grovel at the Taylors' feet and watch everything fall apart around him!"As expected, Victor's expression soured. He clenched his jaw and shot a piercing look at Jameson. He was shocked to see Lily there with Jameson.The emcee brought Jameson's gift onto the stage, and everyone watched on with interest. Lyla looked at Winston with hesitation. Winston put his arm around her waist and said, "He put in time and effort for this gift. Let's take a look."Winston's expression changed when he saw the gift, and his gaze silently turned to Jameson. The other guests exclaimed and praised the gift with an intensity that rivaled their surpris

Alyssa couldn't help but sit up straight, her heart pounding as she fixed her gaze on the stage.Miley instantly picked up on the change in Alyssa's behavior as they were seated next to each other. The look in her eyes deepened.All eyes in the room shifted from Jameson to the stage.Underneath the stage, Newton gleefully patted Jonah and Victor, who were seated beside him. "Heh heh! It's time for my grandson's gift!"Newton was confident that Jasper wouldn't let Jameson steal the limelight with an inferior gift. "By the way, Victor, judging from your son's behavior … Is he interested in Alice?" Newton wondered curiously with an arched brow."Alice?""Ah, sorry. It's Alyssa's nickname. I'm used to calling her that," Newton explained. He hadn't shaken off the habit.Victor pursed his lips with an unreadable expression on his face. He remarked, "Jimmy, my fourth son, has been living abroad without my supervision for a long time. I have no idea what's on his mind.""Don't you th

Winston smirked at Jasper's thick-skinned behavior."I haven't prepared anything extravagant, but I believe it's the thought behind a gift that truly matters. I hope Madam Lyla likes it," Jasper humbly remarked.Alyssa rested her chin on her hand and raised an inquisitive eyebrow at him. It was rare for him to show such a friendly side to anyone. He was indeed a good actor."Since Mr. Beckett has put thought into the gift, let's see what it is," Winston replied somewhat reluctantly. Lyla smiled helplessly at Winston's expression. He clearly held some disdain for Jasper.Jameson found Winston's expression rather comical and believed that Jasper could never make amends with the Taylor family after offending them with his poor treatment of Alyssa.When Lyla and Winston unveiled the gift, they discovered a golden tiara adorned with diamonds inside a glass box.Lyla's heart raced, and tears welled up in her eyes."Lyla, what's the matter?" Winston gently asked, noticing her emotional

It was impossible not to be moved by Jasper's efforts.Winston was incredibly touched by Jasper's explanation, and he no longer treated Jasper with hostility. "Jasper, thank you. I can see your effort and sincerity in the gift. You must have gone through a lot of trouble for this.""Mr. Taylor, you're most welcome," Jasper replied with calm, but his heart was drumming in joy as he clenched his fists. Winston had finally called him by his first name!He felt as though he had finally gained the approval of an in-law after years of taunting for his relationship with Alyssa. He might even lose sleep over this milestone.In contrast, Jameson wrestled with anger when he witnessed Jasper's triumph and Winston's praise. He couldn't believe he had lost to Jasper in this round, despite all his careful planning. It was a bitter defeat.With a smile, Jasper announced, "I have another gift for Madam Lyla. It's a joint gesture from me and my grandfather. On behalf of Beckett Group, we will cont

"Do you know why you lost to me despite all your efforts?" Jasper snickered. "Even if I were being slick, I did it to impress Alyssa. But you wanted more than that. You were destined to lose to me when you insisted on bringing your sick mother to the party."With that, Jasper walked away. Feeling suffocated, Jameson cast a threatening glance at him.…The party went on merrily. Since Jasper had secured a victory, he happily searched for a corner for a well-deserved smoke.Not long after he had ventured out of the hall, he heard a beautiful voice calling to him, "Jasper Beckett!"He gulped and spun around to see Alyssa rushing to him in her sexy heels.Her eyes sparkled like the starry night, her soft hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her lips were as red as a rose.He had a sudden urge to embrace her tightly and kiss her.Before long, she stood right before him. They gazed at each other, the air thick with tension, and heard each other's ragged breaths.There was palpabl

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

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,
