Chapter 741

Author: Ginger Sue
Javier sat in the audience and looked disdainfully at Jasper. "Look at all the company presidents here. Which one of them shaved their head to get a crew cut? Are you still serving in the military?

"You should pay more attention to your image. Also, you had surgery before. There's a scar on your scalp. Why didn't you wear a wig to cover it?"

Jasper lowered his gaze, his tone cold yet confident as he replied, "Everyone in Solana City knows about my injury. So, covering it would be pointless. Besides, even if I'm bald, it won't affect my good looks."

Javier pursed his lips upon hearing that. Despite having low opinions of many aspects of his son, he had to admit that Jasper had inherited all the best traits from him and Anne. Jasper was basically flawless and perfect.

"I'll have someone make a realistic wig for you tomorrow. Then, I'll send it over to you," Javier insisted.

In fact, it was not about the wig. Javier simply did not like that Jasper was going against him. Hence, he w

    With Renee's ankle twisting, her arms flailed frantically in mid-air. The Hermès bag she held soared, leaving her in a comically awkward sprawl on the ground."Ouch! I-It hurts!" she yelped.She sat on the floor as tears welled up in her eyes. Even her lips were quivering uncontrollably. In a typical scenario, a man would step forward to help a beautiful woman in distress, especially when she fell because of the man. Who would have thought Jasper was unaffected by the situation?He walked away fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Renee's sight.At that moment, Xavier rushed over, too. He merely glanced at Renee, who was pathetically lying on the ground. Then, he followed behind Jasper and left. In just a short span of seconds, Renee started to question her appearance. She had always been confident with her looks.It was often said that people would hesitate to help an older lady who fell, but why didn't anyone help Renee? She was a gorgeous woman, after all. Dom

    On the west side, in a hotel, Jasper entered the lobby with his suit drenched in sweat. His phone, held in his sweaty palm, vibrated continuously.He looked down at the screen and saw an incoming call from an anonymous number."Hello," Jasper said in a deep voice, his throat felt dry. "Mr. Beckett, it's room 2051, on the 20th floor. "A stranger's voice on the other end said, "I left the key card in the flowerpot in the 20th-floor stairwell. If you want to save Ms. Taylor, you need to act quickly. Delaying any further could lead to unwanted consequences! Make sure you don't regret your decision."Jasper was about to take a step forward when his face suddenly darkened. He asked, "Who are you, really? Did you send me those pictures?There was silence on the other end. "Are you a paparazzo or acting on someone's orders? How did you get the hotel room key card?" Jasper, with quick thinking, asked the most crucial question."Good question, Mr. Beckett. But I can't disclose those d

    Jasper couldn't explain. He had to leave immediately."I'll call your brother and have him come to pick you up right away!" After saying that, Jasper turned to leave. "Jasper! No, please don't go."Zoe threw herself at him, tightly hugging him from behind, her naked body pressed against his. She pleaded, "Jasper, I'm scared. I'm really scared. Please don't leave me, okay?" Jasper looking disgusted. He ordered coldly, "Let go." "No! I don't want to!" Zoe, without hesitation, pressed her body against his masculine back and continued, "Throughout my life, I've never had a boyfriend, and my body has always been untouched by anyone …""Now that you've seen my body, Jasper, you can't just walk away without taking responsibility!""Taking responsibility?" Jasper bit his lip and said, "I'll only be responsible for one woman in my life, and that's Alyssa." Following his statement, he forcefully disentangled Zoe's arms from his and broke free.Zoe couldn't match the strength o

    Jameson donned a patient's gown in a hospital VIP ward. Then, he reclined in bed. His handsome and delicate face lost its color, and his lips resembled pale, wilting petals, portraying a frail image that evoked sympathy."Mr. Schmidt, why are you so foolish?"Todd stood by the bed, still visibly shaken. "Mr. Schmidt, do you realize how dangerously close you came to being seriously hurt by that horse? If it had trampled you, you might have lost your life right then, and all your hardships and plans in Kontina would have been for nothing!" Jameson gradually opened his eyes and smirked. "Todd, it seems you're genuinely concerned and care about me."Todd was startled. Tears welled up in his eyes as he began, "Mr. Schmidt …"He had been with Jameson for eight years, first as a runner and now as a secretary. Although his role had changed, his status hadn't. He remained a devoted subordinate. Jameson was exceedingly shrewd and suspicious, maintaining a cold and guarded distance from e

    Faced with Alyssa's honesty, Jameson felt a surge of anger. His hands clenched the bed sheets tightly. "I've been married to Jasper for three years, but I've known him much longer than that. It's definitely longer than you might think." Alyssa spoke calmly, as if chatting with a friend, but she couldn't deny that mentioning those past events still caused an ache in her heart. She continued, "Once, there was nothing in my life but him. Later, he divorced me, and it felt like he had taken my entire heart with him. My body had a void from then on, like an irreparable disability. "If you were me, could you ignore it? Could you pretend that nothing ever happened?" "Lyse, I …" "But don't think that I'm so dependent on Jasper that I can't live without him. That's too extreme."Alyssa waved her hand, a momentary sadness crossing her beautiful eyes. "Life must go on. I just need some time." "Lyse, no matter how long it takes, I'm willing to wait for you."Jameson's pale face sho

    Alyssa slammed the bathroom door and sat on the toilet. She bit her lips and scrolled through Twitter's trending topics and comments in a frenzy.Large beads of sweat fell onto the screen one by one."Hahaha! I knew it. Men are all the same. They just can't stay loyal. Wasn't there a rumor about Jasper getting close to the Taylor family's daughter? He kept defending her, and now he's involved with Zoe. How can he be so unfaithful?""It's officially confirmed. He's the scumbag of the century!""It's all a lie. Let me tell you—Jasper just wants to marry into the Taylor family and become a billionaire son-in-law! If he really ends up with Alyssa, it's a union between the Beckett and Taylor dynasties. With Winston as his father-in-law, who would dare to challenge him in the whole of Andgalbia?""Huh? Jasper's a billionaire himself. He doesn't need Alyssa." "Hah, don't be naive. Who doesn't like having more money?"Alyssa's eyes grew cold as she raised her hand, tightly gripping her

    The screen showed a string of numbers instead of a name. Jasper had always had two numbers, one for personal use and one for work. She remembered them both very well. He would only use his personal phone to call her privately, so this time was a bit unusual. Alyssa's heart tightened, and she answered the call, slowly placing the phone to her ear, but remained silent. "Lyse!" Jasper's voice was hoarse and unrecognizable. Alyssa didn't reply. She kept her lips tightly sealed. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Lyse, please believe me, I've been set up by someone!" Jasper knew it wasn't easy to get her to answer the call, so he didn't waste time and got to the point. "This is a complex setup. Zoe couldn't have done it alone. Someone must be backing her!"And the bait set by the other party wasn't Zoe. It was you!"Alyssa, with her eyes cast down, spoke slowly. "Let's meet at the City Center Amusement Park near KS World in half an hour."If she hadn't answered Jonah's call

    "Well, that makes things easier." Jameson smiled faintly and added, "You did a big favor for me tonight. Thanks for your hard work." "Mr. Schmidt, please don't say that. I owe my life to you, and I'm willing to do anything for you," Amber said softly, full of affection. Jameson's tone was stern, "I'll send you a plane ticket and some money. You can go and enjoy yourself for a while. If you need more, just let Todd know, and he'll send it to you." Amber's breath caught, and she became anxious. "Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. Are you sending me away?" "Jasper fell for our trap. He won't let it slide. He'll start an investigation right away. He's not foolish, but Ms. Alyssa has thrown him off this time."To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should lay low for now. Todd will temporarily handle things on The Millennium's side.""But …""Listen to me." Jameson's voice turned cold suddenly. Amber's throat tightened as she muttered, "Yes, Mr. Schmidt."…Alyssa got to the park first becau

    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
