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

"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,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
