Finally, Landon found Lauren in the playground, sitting alone on the children's swing."Lauren … "Lauren's hair and her red cloak were coated in a layer of snow, making her look like a snowman.Silly girl. How long has she been sitting out here in the cold?Heart aching at the sight, Landon slowly walked up to her. "There you are, Lauren."He knelt down on one knee before her, sweaty palms holding onto her cold hands that were locked around her teddy bear."How … how did you find me?" Lauren asked, blinking in surprise."Our hearts are connected, Lauren. I would be able to find you no matter where you go," Landon croaked out lightly.He caressed her flushed cheeks as the pain in his chest swelled. "You're never running away from me again, Lauren."Lauren's eyes grew downcast as she went silent."It's so cold out here. Why don't you come home with me?""I want to live with Grandpa, Landon." Lauren slowly inched her hands out from Landon's. "I called Grandpa's assistant, Mr

Landon hurried to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning after coaxing Lauren to sleep, where he soon joined Becketts and Taylors.Unable to take it anymore, Newton had retired to a VIP ward to rest with Javier's help."Jonah, I just interrogated that son of a bitch."Jonah had gone to the end of the hallway to answer a call from Cyrus. "I've been in this line of work for so long. I could instantly tell he's hiding something from us! But he just won't crack!" Cyrus exclaimed."What did that asshole tell you?" Jonah asked solemnly."He said he attacked Madam Lyla because he used to be her top fan. He's harbored anger toward her ever since she quit the industry, feeling like she betrayed him. "Can you imagine that bullshit? Madam Lyla was the actress of the century back then! Who does he think he is to be able to bag someone like her?" Cyrus yelled, venting out a whole night's worth of anger to his brother.Jonah frowned. "Get to the point.""Sorry, Jonah. I got too carr

The Beckett family remained gathered outside the surgery room until 9:00 am the next morning. Javier and Newton stared fixedly at the door, with the former helping the latter stand.Sophia had used the excuse that she was tired to return home to rest. Newton despised her, and she didn’t give a damn about Jasper. So there was no point faking her concern any longer."Why isn't Lyse out yet? It's been so long." Winston gazed at the surgery room, feeling uneasy."Brain surgery isn't a small feat. Some take entire days to complete." Jonah consoled his father, patting his back. "Don't worry. Lyse is stronger and more capable than you think. This surgery will definitely be a success.""I'm not worried about that. I'm just concerned that Alyssa won’t be able to handle staying up for an entire night without rest. "Isn't she tired? Did she have time to eat a bite or drink some water?"If Jonah hadn’t stopped Winston, he would have barged into the room to check on Alyssa himself.Jona

"Jasper has … always been really nice to me since I was a kid. He looked after me a lot, and so, he's the most important person to me right now … " Zoe wiped her tears, shoulders quaking as she sobbed. "After hearing that he got hurt last night, I was so worried I didn't sleep a wink. "I wanted to come over first thing last night, but Landon wouldn't let me. He was worried I would cause more trouble for you."I'm so sorry, I should have come over earlier. That way I might still have been able to help out some … ""Poor thing. We see your efforts, dear girl, " Javier said with a sigh, approval apparent in his eyes. "I'm really grateful that you still care about my son. I'm so glad you two have been friends since young.""We still have a close bond now, too, not just when we were kids." Zoe blushed shyly, saying, "I'll be here as long as Jasper needs me."There was no doubt as to what she was implying.Landon's expression turned ugly. Zoe's outright confession and attitude t

Zoe's heart dropped into her stomach. Face flushed, she hurriedly explained, "I don't mean anything untoward, Grandpa Newton, nor do I want to cause anymore trouble for you guys … I'm just trying to do what I can to help!"I may not be the most capable, but at least I never injured Jasper! I didn't hurt him so bad that he ended up suffering on a cold surgical table!""Enough, Zoe!" Landon cried, walking over to stop her.Newton's expression grew cold. He asked sharply, "Are you blaming Alyssa? Do you think she was the one who did this to my grandson?""I … I … " Zoe stammered.Of course she did! Of course, it was Alyssa's fault! But Zoe couldn't say that out loud. Newton was clearly biased towards Alyssa.Just then, the sound of doors opening rang through the hallway.Everyone turned to see the surgical room doors open.Winston and Jonah leapt from their seats while everyone else hurried over to the door.Two medical personnel exited first, followed by slow, heavy steps.A

Zoe gasped and took a step back as she watched Alyssa approach with a cold determination.Despite wearing heels, Zoe was still shorter than Alyssa. However, the height wasn't the problem. Alyssa had outshined Zoe in terms of her inner qualities and her intimidating air. Zoe was reduced to nothing In front of Alyssa."W-What are you doing?" Zoe gasped. She turned white."Nothing much. I just want to clear your doubts," Alyssa replied with a calm smile and took off her surgeon cap. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders in a sassy way.She announced, "Your dear Jasper is out of critical condition. You don't have to pray for him anymore."Then, she whispered into Zoe's ear, "You should just ask for my help instead of praying. Since he got hurt because of me, I'll treat him till he's recovered. So, please don't waste your time worrying for him."Zoe was trembling in rage at Alyssa's provocation. It seemed that Alyssa had overheard what she said in the corridor.Just as she was th

"Your daughter is none other than the renowned genius doctor—Dr. White!"The revelation left everyone in a state of shock.Alyssa Taylor, in addition to her remarkable skills as a manager at KS World Hotel and a genius designer, was now unveiled as a brilliant doctor. She was nothing short of a superhuman.Newton and Javier looked shell-shocked. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. People of their social standing were well aware of Dr. White's formidable reputation, as she was highly regarded for her surgical expertise. Receiving treatment from Dr. White was a great honor for anyone.Despite her widespread acclaim, Dr. White was a mysterious figure who refused to show her face or engage in interviews. Only a select few, like Jonah and Abel, had been privy to her true identity.The staggering revelation left Javier gaping in astonishment. Never had he imagined that the young woman who had lived under his roof for three years possessed such a multitude of talents.Feel

It was not unusual for patients who underwent major surgeries to be in a coma for ten days. However, Jasper had a good physique thanks to his military background. He woke up on day four."Mr. Beckett! Mr. Beckett! Mr. Beckett!"Jasper felt increasingly irritated as someone persistently called out to him. He struggled to open his eyes. As his vision gradually cleared, he saw Xavier standing before him, appearing disheveled and visibly thinner.Xavier was agitatedly spamming the emergency button by the bedside. "Mr. Beckett is awake! He's awake!""Anyone would wake up if you keep bothering them like this," grumbled Jasper, his ears ringing and his mind muddled. "Where ... am I?""The hospital, of course! Don't you know you've undergone a life-and-death situation?" Xavier informed him. Tears welled up as he recalled the misfortune that befell Jasper."Oh … Lyse!" The first thing Jasper thought about after waking up was Alyssa's safety. The last scene in his memory was of the attac

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
