Chapter 681

Author: Ginger Sue
"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

    Jameson struggled to maintain his composure, his body trembling with anger as he cried out in agony, "I've told you countless times that it was Josh, David, and Daisy—the very children you treat with such trust and love—who framed my mother! "Instead of seeking the truth and listening to her, you dismissed her and sent her to that wretched place. Marrying you was the worst thing that ever happened to her!""I've been generous enough to let her keep her title after the way she was caught red-handed. What more can she possibly say?" Victor's face flushed with anger as he recalled the painful past, driving him to a point where he felt like choking both Lily and Jameson."You damn fool," Jameson muttered under his breath, turning away in frustration. He had no intention of bringing up the infidelity, as it only served as a painful reminder of Lily's past. Every time he mentioned it, it reopened old wounds. It was purely coincidental that Victor had mentioned it in their heated argu

    So what if he woke up everyone else? All that mattered was that his woman was pleased."What the … what the hell is wrong with you, Jasper Beckett?" Alyssa cried, unable to take it anymore. "Are you going to jump off a cliff just because I tell you to?""I don't want to do that. I would die and wouldn't be able to see you anymore." Jasper slowly turned Alyssa around so she was facing him.When their eyes met, Alyssa could see the gushing, naked passion in his gaze. It was so intense, as if he was worried she would be oblivious to it. His eyes conveyed too much!"Jasper … " Alyssa murmured, but before she could finish speaking, Jasper had handed her his neck tie."Lead me home, Lyse."Alyssa stared fixedly at the tie, suddenly feeling so overwhelmed. It looked like Jasper needed a bigger dose.He swallowed nervously, gently leaning into Alyssa as he eyed her lips. Their hearts pounded in their chests as their visions blurred. All of a sudden, Alyssa's phone rang.As if s

    Jasper was taken aback, his arms still in midair. He had wanted to comfort Alyssa with a hug."I only wanted to … ""I said, stay out of this!" Alyssa had no patience to deal with him further. She stormed away from him, still on her phone, and slammed the door as she walked out.The warmth and tenderness Jasper had so achingly wished for disappeared just like that. Their shared moment from earlier burst, just like a short-lived bubble floating up into the sky.Alyssa didn't take the antique Jasper had given her. To her, family was the most important thing right now.Sadness filled Jasper's chest, making his heart twinge in pain.But now wasn't the time to be depressed. He quickly recovered and left the room."Mr. Beckett, I just saw Madam leave looking absolutely pissed. Did you upset her?" Xavier asked worriedly, a sliver of blame in his eyes. After all, his boss had always been known to get on Alyssa's wrong side."Something's happened to Madam Lyla," Jasper said, his gaze da

    "Where are you going, Mr. Beckett?" Xavier asked hurriedly.Jasper paused in his footsteps to answer. "To Lyse's side while she helps her family."It didn't matter if she didn't love or cherish him. All that mattered to Jasper was being able to hold her in his heart and fill his life with her.…After the incident from decades ago was released, with help from whoever leaked it online, terrible rumors and gossip about Lyla bubbled and overflowed uncontrollably yet again.The journalists swarmed KS World hotel like a plague of locusts. Even the forums and netizens had a change of topic."Do we really not need to pay to see this shit? Who had known an A-list actress could ever have such a demeaning side to her?""People bid farewell onstage with tears. Why is she doing it with piss?""All of you youngsters weren't born yet when this happened, but I was there. Lyla Nelson pissed herself as a side effect of getting addicted to drugs! She quit the acting industry because of it!""Re

    "You're bleeding, Lyse!" Silas cried, seeing how bloody Alyssa's hand was. "Call an ambulance, Cyrus! Hurry!""Tsk. Is this all it takes for you to panic?" Alyssa scowled, grabbing Silas' tie and unraveling it before wrapping it around her injured hand."Cool!" Cyrus gasped at Alyssa's swift action."Calm down, Lyse," Jonah said, heart aching at the sight of his sister's injuries. He gently held her wounded hand, grumbling, "You can't hurt yourself, no matter how upset you get, silly. "Your family is right here with you. As long as we stick together, there's nothing we can't handle, right?""You guys stay here to deal with the reporters and find out who is behind this. I'll make sure Taty and Lyla reach home safe and sound!" With that, Alyssa turned and left."Lyse, your hand—" Cyrus cried, but Alyssa was already gone."Tsk … too hot headed. Even more so than me." Silas shook his head."There's no use stopping her, guys. She has the skills, brains, and has been a doctor be

    More snickering erupted from the journalists. Their cruel, merciless teasing and mockery consumed Lyla like a pitch black wave of pain."Don't worry, Mom. I'll protect you!" Tatiana kept her mother away from the sly gazes of the reporters, glaring at every one of them. Who would ever guess such a shy and demure girl would be so fearless and strong right now? "No one will hurt you … no one!""I'm … I'm okay, Taty … I'm … " Lyla murmured weakly, her gaze distant and lost.Seeing this, tears fell down Tatiana's eyes and onto her mother's hair."What did you just say?" Colene fumed angrily, pointing a finger at the reporter who hadjust spoken. She was this close to hitting him!"Why so angry, Madam Colene? It's not like this has anything to do with you," another reporter said sarcastically.Mandy's gaze darkened. Her guess was right. These reporters had clearly been sent here to aggravate them."Why can't I be angry? Lyla is my family, so when you insult her, you're insulting me

    "That's only a start. I'm suing you for your despicable behavior, you jackass." There wasn’t an ounce of fear on Alyssa's face as she said coldly, "My grounds are that you humiliated and defamed my family with a story you made up without knowing the truth of the matter, and thus insulted her character and reputation. "Don't think you can spew out whatever trash you want just because you're a reporter. You really think you can live without seeing the consequences of your actions just because the poor people whom you humiliated didn't want to take you to court?"Heh. I'm here to do them justice and show you and everyone else who means ill toward us just what happens to those who distort the truth and slander the innocent!"The reporters were stunned by Alyssa's fierce bearing. She was the one who had initiated the first physical attack, yet her speech and demeanor was so bold …It felt like there was no way they could hate her for her actions."Me? Distort the truth?"

    Jasper had used his own body to protect her. His breathing was slow and irregular. "Are you … okay, Lyse?""What is wrong with you? I should be asking you that question!" Alyssa cried. A stinging pain pricked the back of her nose and forced tears into her eyes.Pain flared from the back of Jasper's head. His vision began to blur, though he still sported a fond smile. "You care about me, that's all that … "Everything suddenly went black.Alyssa's heart stopped instantaneously. She clung onto Jasper's body as it collapsed, crying out, "Jasper!"…The man who tried attacking Lyla was swiftly subdued and taken under Cyrus' hold. As he was being shoved into the police car, Alyssa suddenly lunged at him, ready to strike.Cyrus held her back just in time, consoling her, "Leave him to me, Lyse! I'll deal with him for you. Don't dirty your hands with a goon like him!""I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him, even if it's the last thing I do!" Alyssa yelled hysterically, str

    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
