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

Holding Alyssa's hand, Jasper rushed down the opulent yet deserted corridor, like two young aristocrats who were defying societal rules and eloping.Her gaze was fixed on his broad back, which provided her with a sense of security. Her chest heaved, and her palms grew sweaty.She had to admit that she felt a little attracted to him. At the same time, she berated herself for still having feelings for him over mere hand-holding, after having fallen in love with him twice, 13 years and three years ago, respectively.She felt rather indignant for being weak when it came to Jasper.In contrast, he appeared to be in high spirits, jogging alongside her until they reached the door of a luxurious suite.A surge of panic and embarrassment washed over her. In anger, she yanked her hand from his grasp and hissed, "What is this? How dare you disrespect me on my turf? You know I could always get my brothers to beat you up right now."He paused in surprise. Realizing she had misunderstood his i

Alyssa's attention was immediately drawn to a beautiful ebony box on the coffee table. Her expertise in antique collections allowed her to discern that the box contained something truly rare."What a lovely box …" She gasped and stared at it."Don't just admire the box. You should see what's inside." Jasper encouraged her, standing by her side and utterly captivated by her beauty.Confused yet eager, Alyssa wiped her sweaty palms on her dress. Her endearing action only deepened Jasper's affection for her, and he felt an irresistible desire for her.Carefully, she opened the box to reveal a pink top and a green-stemmed glass goblet that seemed like something out of a dream.She exclaimed in delight and covered her mouth.Winston had collected antiques from all over the world, but he had never acquired an item from the Regency Era. The glass goblet finally filled that gap, and Alyssa was thrilled by the find."I stumbled upon this glass goblet in a Yoarkley collector's collection

"I don't know how to dance … I'll skip," Lauren excused herself. She had been sipping juice and enjoying cake on the couch until Landon had suddenly invited her to dance.Having watched her parents and Betty dance before, Lauren felt that dancing wasn't something she could do. Besides, she believed she would never have a chance to be in the spotlight anyway."It's alright if you don't know. I can teach you, Lauren," Landon reassured her, placing his hands on her shoulders.She hung her head low, a tiny patch of cream at the corner of her lips. She mumbled, "I'm not dancing, Landon. They all dance well. "I would only embarrass you because I don't know how to dance. Besides, I don't like crowded places. I panic when there are too many people around."Landon was shocked and upset. Lauren's second excuse was the real reason behind her refusal to dance. Despite his attentiveness, he had let his excitement get the better of him, forgetting that she suffered from autism and social pho

"May I invite you to a dance?" Silas inquired.Rose stood up gracefully and placed her hand in his palm. "Of course."Silas noticed the tears glistening in the corners of her eyes in the soft light. He tightened his grip on her hand, which startled her, prompting a futile attempt by her to break free from his hold."Is something wrong? Do you regret your decision?" Silas inquired, raising an eyebrow."No, but why did you pinch my hand?" Rose grumbled."I can't pinch your feet, can I?" he teased, finding humor in the odd question."You—" Rose began, but her retort was cut short as Silas twirled her gracefully by the waist. After a dizzying spin, she found herself dancing to the rhythm of the music with him."Did you cry just now?" he whispered, glancing at her reddened eyes as his hand rested on the small of her back."No, no tears. I was yawning," she denied, but was taken aback by how observant he was."Alright, I could have been mistaken.""Mistaken? You certainly were," sh

"You insolent brat! How dare you speak to your father in such a manner?" Victor raged. He would have slapped Jameson if it weren't for the presence of other guests.Except for Winston, men of Victor's generation believed in the importance of discipline and felt that rebellious individuals should be subject to corporal punishment. Therefore, he believed it was only appropriate to physically punish Jameson."If you still have some respect left for Mom, I could attempt to maintain the facade of a father-son relationship with you. If you disrespect her further, I have more scathing remarks reserved for you." Jameson chuckled with a smirk.Even Victor was taken aback by Jameson's ruthlessness.…Victor and Jameson confronted each other on the balcony at the end of the corridor. Even the cold weather was no match for the tension between the two."What the hell do you want?" Victor questioned icily."I didn't know the value of your gift for Madam Lyla. If you're angry because you fel

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.

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
