Alyssa noticed the distress and wariness on Newton's face and assumed that she might have breached a sensitive family topic. It would be inappropriate for her to press for an answer.Despite always being sensible, she somehow developed a deep interest in the matter that concerned Jasper. She blurted out boldly, "Grandpa, is there any tension between Jasper and Justin? And is that related to their kidnapping case when they were younger?"Newton looked astonished. Wide-eyed, he gasped, "Y-You knew about the kidnapping?""I'm sorry, Grandpa. I didn't intend to overstep," Alyssa apologized. After a pause, she whispered, "Jasper mentioned Justin to me a while ago. He'd promised to tell me the truth later and that he won't keep anything from me."I was giving him the silent treatment back then. And I had refused to learn the truth. But curiosity got the better of me, so I …" Alyssa's voice faded as she blushed in embarrassment.Newton felt happy at the shy look on Alyssa's face, whi

"Justin was a 15-year-old. And he was taller and stronger than Jasper," Newton explained.However, Justin was still a defenseless teenager at that time. How did he manage to subdue the kidnappers so Jasper could escape?Alyssa, keeping her doubts to herself, wondered, "Grandpa, what happened next? How did Justin escape from the kidnappers?"Newton turned pale and trembled as he answered, "We paid Gustav the two billion dollars in ransom. Half a month later, Justin appeared in front of the Seaview Manor gates, completely naked."When we found him, he was covered in blood and nearly dying from the torture. He spent a month in the hospital and underwent six months of psychiatric treatment before he improved, but his health was forever ruined.""Why?" Alyssa asked in shock.Newton said, "We learned from Justin later that he had infuriated Gustav and the gang after helping Jasper to escape. They couldn't kill him off due to the ransom, so they turned him into a punching bag."They st

Upon hearing Landon's words, Jasper choked on his water in surprise. He let out a muffled cough and retorted, "Landon Harper, are you thinking straight? Lyse can give you a checkup, you know. You shouldn't be wasting Lauren's time."Alyssa crossed her legs on the couch and stared disdainfully at the cheesy Landon. She quipped, "So, you're a chef now after retiring from your playboy days? Well, it's pretty impressive for you to turn over a new leaf.""Ahem. This will be my first time cooking tonight. I'm kind of nervous," Landon confessed. In his 28 years, he had never set foot in the Harper Residence's kitchen, let alone tried his hand at cooking."Landon, don't push yourself too hard," Lauren chimed in with concern while gently tugging at his sleeve.Alyssa cast Landon a look of disdain and agreed, "Right. You shouldn't drag Lauren into the mess you're about to make."Jasper pressed his lips and added, "Remember, if the stove catches fire, the first thing to do is cover it with

Jasper smiled at Alyssa, knowing that she would keep her word. He had made up his mind to support her, no matter what decision she made.He advised her, "I know you want revenge, but you can't rush it. We will eventually find the mastermind."Alyssa's lips tightened, and her eyes filled with emotion. There was another reason behind her vengefulness that she couldn't reveal to Jasper—the attacker and the mastermind behind him had posed a severe threat to Jasper's life. Were it not for her medical intervention, Jasper could have been in grave danger.Alyssa had been bottling up her anger, which led to a loss of appetite and restless nights. She felt the urgency to seek vengeance to find solace."Jasper, I appreciate that you protected Lyla and me, but ultimately, this is a family matter. Please focus on your recovery and stay out of this.""Yes, it might be a Taylor family issue, but Lyse, I'm your man," he croaked. He was as thick-skinned as usual.She glowered at him. He contin

Jasper realized something after falling in love with Alyssa. She was like a coconut—tough on the outside and soft within. She was a sincere and kind-hearted soul.Alyssa's affection for him had dwindled, and he resorted to gaining her sympathy just for a few more moments with her.In the past, Alyssa had to beg for his affection, but now the tables had turned. It was his turn to experience what it felt like to be on the other side.…In the end, Alyssa had no choice but to stay with him. She clarified, "Don't take this the wrong way. I didn't stay because you wanted me to. It's because I promised Grandpa and Lauren to look after you."She gathered herself and rose from the bed, announcing, "I'll rest in the adjoining room. Call me if you need anything."Jasper's gaze deepened, and he held onto her hand. He suggested, "Lyse, why don't you spend the night here?""The couch is uncomfortable to sleep on," she explained, attempting to free her hand from his grasp but failing."Then,

Jasper recalled the many times during their marriage that he was irritated at Alyssa.He felt she took too long in the shower. He found her skincare routine fussy. When she prepared a table full of food for him, he thought she wasted her time in the kitchen.As these mundane memories of their marriage flashed before his eyes, they stung his heart.The bathroom door creaked open. Alyssa appeared, her hair wrapped up in a white towel. She emerged from the condensation bare-faced, looking as lovely as ever.Jasper was captivated by her youthful and radiant face. He gulped and remarked, "You look even better without makeup.""That's enough. You've said the same thing before. Don't repeat yourself." Alyssa shot back, holding the towel on her head as she sat on the couch with a gloomy expression.She added, "Don't force yourself to give compliments if you're not good at it. 'You look better without makeup'? Obviously! I look gorgeous all the time!""Yes, you're absolutely gorgeous," h

The winter wind howled outside. In contrast, Jasper's room was a tranquil and cozy haven.His bed and Alyssa's were next to each other. Despite the distance between the beds, he considered it as sharing a bed with her.Xavier had slyly moved Alyssa's bed closer to Jasper's, and it was too late for her to protest, as Xavier and the other movers had already left. She couldn't move her bed on her own, and Jasper was too feeble to be of any help.She lay on the bed and closed her eyes, her breathing calm. Meanwhile, Jasper was in his own bed, taking in the scent that wafted from her hair. The scent tempted him, and even the mundane ceiling in his room seemed to have transformed into a starlit sky.His palms were drenched, and his fingers shakily inched toward Alyssa.Her voice suddenly rang in the silence. "Behave yourself."His fingers froze in the middle.She threatened, "If you don't, you'll regret it."Jasper sweated profusely and managed a bitter smile.After what felt like

Feeling sorry, Sean apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Alyssa. I didn't take good care of Ms. Tatiana. I accept any punishment.""L-Lyse, don't! Sean has been busy enough. He tried his best to look after me well, so please don't punish him!" Tatiana pleaded with a pale face, worried that Sean might get into trouble because of her."Hmph. There's no denying that he's at fault. Sean, your punishment is to bring Taty out tonight and have the best dinner in Belbanks. You need to bring her to her favorite dessert place, too. Do not come home until it's late at night. Got it?" Alyssa instructed him, looking stern.Tatiana was taken aback by Alyssa's orders. She mumbled, "L-Lyse …"Sean's heart skipped a beat as he stared at Tatiana through his tears. He said, "Ms. Tatiana, please bear with me tonight."Tatiana was, in fact, overjoyed at the private date with Sean, but she had some reservations."Taty, don't worry about it. I'm at home to take care of everything. You deserve a break after your

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart

Sheryl's eyes lit up. "And what might that reason be?"Justin's lips curved into a faint smirk, his voice calm yet carrying a cold, ethereal tone. "Besides Ms. Alyssa, there's another woman who holds great significance to Jasper. She's the only one who can compel him to act without hesitation." Remy, usually a man of few words, abruptly spoke up. "Is she the one you've mentioned before? The woman who saved Jasper on the battlefield?""After Jasper retired from the military, he was plagued by PTSD. He came back shattered, dispirited, even on the brink of taking his own life."During that time, I often spoke with him over the phone, urging him to hold on, to keep living. I reminded him that if I could endure this half-disabled existence, then surely, he could find a reason to go on."Justin's tone was leisurely, as though recounting something insignificant. He continued, "I told him that if he were gone, what would become of Beckett Group? More than that, he would leave Dad and G

A first-rate Wiktorian mansion was located in a secluded and quiet area on the East Side. It was Justin's private residence. Outsiders were unaware of its existence. Sheryl arrived in the early hours of the morning, rushing to report to Justin, only to bump into Remy, who exuded an unmistakable air of coldness. His eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn't slept in days. A menacing vibe surrounded him, and his eyes burned with feral intensity. Sheryl felt unsettled and longed to flee his presence."You're like a ghoul," she muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes before knocking on the door to enter Justin's study.Remy remained expressionless in the face of her contemptuous remark. He followed her into the room. In his classically-decorated study, Justin sat in his wheelchair, idly toying with a colorful cockatiel in its gilded cage.Jameson once possessed an exquisite, costly cockatiel at The Millenium. A devoted follower of Justin, the former idolized the latter, mimicking

Alyssa released Jasper's hand and quickly opened the car door. "Mr. Beckett, see you there, rain or shine." The warmth of her touch left his fingers as she withdrew. Jasper instinctively curled his fingers inward, his mouth parting to say something—anything—but hesitation held him back.Without waiting for his response, Alyssa slipped out of the car and disappeared into the night without a backward glance. It wasn't until she was fully gone that he whispered in a low, hoarse voice, "See you there, rain or shine." …When Alyssa returned to the parking lot, Sean was standing worriedly beside the car, waiting for her. Seeing her approach, eyes glistening with unshed tears, he knew she had just seen Jasper. A dull ache tugged at his heart, and he was certain their conversation had been anything but pleasant."Ms. Alyssa," he began softly, "I know you're relentless in everything you pursue. But some things in life… they just can't be forced. Sometimes, letting go can be its own k

Xavier was confused. He caught the tie bar in his hands and asked, "What's this, Mr. Beckett?" Jasper closed his eyes to rest. He tugged at his tie knot but still felt suffocated."It was from Sheryl," he answered. Xavier let out a cry. "This filthy thing is from that wild woman? I don't want it!" With a disgusted look on his face, Xavier hurled the tie bar aside. "I'm already seeing someone. I don't want my girlfriend to misunderstand me." "Girlfriend?" "Yeah, Mr. Beckett. Maggie is my girlfriend." With his eyes closed, Jasper frowned. "She's become of age?" Xavier didn't know how he should react. "She's already in university, Mr. Beckett. Am I that much of an animal in your eyes?" Suddenly, the memory of himself and Alyssa rescuing Maggie flashed through Jasper's mind. Just then, Xavier exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Beckett, look!" Jasper opened his eyes slowly, and his heart jolted. Standing alone before his car was Alyssa, framed against the piercing headlights,

Alyssa balled her hands into fists as she pressed them against the faux rock. All her focus was now directed onto Sheryl instead of Jasper. At this moment, Sheryl picked up the tie bar from its box. While Jasper was distracted, she clipped it onto his tie. Jasper was taken aback. He quickly stepped back, but Sheryl was quicker, and the tie bar was clipped on. "Mr. Jasper, it suits you really well." Sheryl's eyes were captivating, and her voice was sultry. If she were speaking with any other man, they would be easily captivated by her. "It looks like I made the right choice." Jasper's eyes dimmed. Yet, out of courtesy and because Sheryl worked for Justin, he did not react in any way that would put her in a difficult spot. Alyssa's eyes reflected a deep sorrow as she watched them, her gaze carrying the silent desolation of a snowstorm beginning to overtake her heart. Even so, she forced herself to stay rational. She pulled out her cell phone, wanting to record Sheryl's ever

Jasper stumbled into the hotel's back garden and stopped by the pond. He panted hard, feeling as if he were drowning. Even so, he could not return to his usual composure. As he shook all over, he bent down and grabbed a handful of snow. The bone-piercing cold spread through his body, but he still couldn't suppress the throbbing pain in his temples. His eyes became bloodshot. He stuffed that handful of snow into his mouth and swallowed all of it. He couldn't suppress it. He couldn't suppress it at all.The pills. He needed those pills! "Mr. Jasper? What are you doing here?" Sheryl's surprised voice came from behind Jasper.He held his breath, his fingers tightening around the snow in his grasp, veins bulging as he clenched his fists. Slowly, he straightened his back and turned to face her. "I came out for some fresh air," he answered in an extremely hoarse voice. Sheryl narrowed her eyes and studied him. "Mr. Jasper, you look awful. Are you feeling unwell?" "I'm fine." A

When Justin and Alyssa stepped into the banquet hall together, another uproar swept through the hall. Everyone focused their astonished gazes on the pair. "I'm not dreaming, am I? The one accompanying Alyssa isn't Mr. Jasper, but another man?" "That man has such a confident air about him. His looks and bearing are comparable to Mr. Jasper's!" "Ms. Alyssa has so many brothers in the Taylor family. Could it be one of her brothers whom we have never seen?" "Justin!" Javier was pumped up in an instant. Beaming, he strutted to the front of Justin and Alyssa. Justin? The room fell silent as the crowd exchanged confused glances."Hey, Dad." Justin smiled, his eyes looking clear and bright. Alyssa was a daughter from a wealthy aristocratic family. Although she and Javier used to be on bad terms, she still attended the Beckett family's event. She politely greeted Javier. "Mr. Javier, my father is resting up at home and is unable to make it. So, he got me to come especially to
