"Lyse, you're awesome!" Cyrus exclaimed. He was seated in a corner of the KS World Hotel café with Alyssa.

He laid out a few photos on the table and remarked, "As you have predicted, the culprit has a secret room at his house where he kept Sophia Kirkman's photos. He's not a loyal fan of Lyla like he claimed, but a fanatic supporter of Sophia Kirkman."

Alyssa pursed her lips and said in a hushed voice, "Cyrus, have you found any other important clues?"

After some hesitation, Cyrus showed her a transparent evidence bag. The bag contained a platinum necklace studded with diamonds. The design of the jewelry was rather outdated, and the quality was not the best.

Cyrus explained, "I found this necklace at the attacker's place. He carefully stored it in a case, so I assume it's very important to him."

Alyssa always had a sharp memory. Somehow, the necklace looked familiar to her. She quickly looked through some of the photos.

"Look, Sophia has worn this necklace before. It's the same o

    "Well, I can only trust your word, future first lady of Kontina!" Alyssa teased Miley."Ms. Alyssa, you're home!" Sean rushed out from the kitchen, looking dapper in his suit. However, he was covered in some flour."Sean, are you cooking?" Alyssa inquired curiously."Yes. Madam Lyla and Tatiana are in the kitchen. I'm helping out," Sean replied with an awkward and troubled expression."What? Is Lyla cooking in the kitchen?" Mandy gasped and stood up. "Why didn't anyone stop her? She fainted this morning!"Alyssa's heart sank upon learning that. "Did Lyla faint earlier today? Let me check on her."Meanwhile, Tatiana was helping Lyla in the kitchen. Lyla looked pale, which made Tatiana worry.She asked Lyla, "Mom, are you okay?""I'm fine. I'll have to rush. It's almost dinnertime. I don't want to leave everyone hungry," Lyla mumbled while speedily cutting the vegetables. Suddenly, a gasp escaped her lips.Tatiana panicked and nearly cried when she saw what had happened. "Mom, y

    Alyssa let out a knowing sigh. She and Lyla were well aware of Winston's hot temper. He would have sent someone to harm Sophia had he known that Sophia was the mastermind behind Lyla's attack.In Alyssa's opinion, that was not the most satisfying way of dealing with Sophia, nor was it legal.Alyssa was adept with dealing honestly or playing dirty. Knowing how cunning Sophia was, Alyssa had to play dirty."Lyla, do you recognize this man?" Alyssa presented a photo on her phone to Lyla, as the attacker had concealed his face during the attack."This man … He's … He's …" Lyla stammered, wide-eyed. "His name is Ronald Branson. He was an assistant at TS Network, handling tasks like distributing food and drinks for actors.""So, he had access to the TS Network building, right?""Not only that, he filled in other roles on set. Sometimes, when we were short on extras, he had to fill in", Lyla explained, a hint of confusion in her expression. "Lyse, why are you asking about him?"Alyssa

    "Why are you here?" Alyssa asked, catching herself before she could blurt out, "Why is it you?"Jameson was dressed in an exquisite black suit. He looked regal with the dazzling horse in hand, like a prince out of a palace.He said, "I'm just here to see you.""How's your injury? You should rest for at least two months. What about the cast on your arm?" Alyssa inquired about his condition upon recalling the frightful night."I have no regret after hearing that," he responded with a passionate look at her.She held her breath, uncertain how to continue the conversation.Jameson added, "I'm not only here to see you. I'm here to give you the horse. You left in such a hurry that you didn't get to bring it with you.""Jimmy, thanks for the lovely horse, but I can't accept that expensive gift from you," she calmly turned down his offer."Lyse, did I do anything wrong? Did it upset you? Were you still angry because of what happened that day?""No. That's all in the past. It doesn't m

    Before the gate closed, Jameson abruptly halted, shooting an icy gaze toward his back. His pale lips curled into a mocking smile as he scoffed, "Hah. You coward."…Meanwhile, Jasper stood before his bedroom window, staring blankly into the distance. He smoked one cigarette after another, the ashtray overflowing with stubs, the room shrouded in smoke that masked his loneliness.He let out some muffled coughs, his chest feeling like an empty cave.He replayed the scene of the day when he tossed the divorce papers in front of Alyssa and forced her to sign them. After that, she left without taking a dime from him. He stood at the same window when she left in Jonah's car, his gaze tailing the car.He was filled with unexplainable rage at that time. He finally realized the reason behind his emotions—he hated seeing her leave.Their subsequent bitter exchanges were attempts to convince himself he didn't love her.He didn't fall in love with Alyssa only after losing her. Instead, i

    Winston and Alyssa's older brothers were on a business trip abroad. Only the female family members were at home.Jameson was not a stranger to the family. However, it was late at night, and the family was taking care of Lyla. Not wanting to disturb her family, Alyssa discreetly ushered Jameson into the guest room.To her surprise, Miley was already in the room, enjoying tea."Miley, are you still up?" Alyssa introduced Jameson to him, "Oh, this is my friend. He's Jameso—""I know. He's Jameson Schmidt, the fourth son of the Schmidt family. I remember him from Lyla's birthday party," Miley said and calmly set her tea on the table.With a smile, she remarked, "Lyse rarely has any friend of the opposite sex apart from her brothers. You're the first, Jameson.""It's my honor," Jameson replied with a seemingly genuine smile. "I'm more honored to have a chance to meet with the future first lady of Kontina."Jameson's comment took Alyssa aback.Miley answered flatly, "I'm just Lyse's

    Carl reached into his bag, pulling out a plastic bag containing a syringe. He explained, "After reviewing the surveillance footage, we discovered that David's men were responsible."Jameson smirked with half-closed eyes. "David is as malicious as Josh but lacks Josh's effectiveness. His methods are crude, always leaving behind evidence. A halfwit like him doesn't deserve my time.""But we can't let this slide, can we? It would be too cowardly!" Carl gritted his teeth.Leaning back, Jameson enjoyed some shut-eye. "Of course not. I'll make him pay for what he did to me. He broke my arm, so I'll break his leg. That's only fair, right?"Carl concurred, "Of course! You're already showing mercy by not taking his life, all because he's your brother!"Jameson thought, "David does not deserve to be called a brother."He wagged his finger, stating, "If it were Lyse who got injured that day, I would have gotten rid of David Schmidt by now."…After taking a bath and applying skincare, Aly

    Alyssa and Miley heard Colene's muffled shouts from the horse's back, followed by a chorus of laughter.Speechless, Alyssa said, "Well, I don't mind, as long as Colene's happy."Miley slowly sat on the couch and looked hesitant to speak. Alyssa sat by her side and took her arm. "Miley, you must have something to discuss with me when you knock on my door this late. Is it related to Jameson?""I remember he visited our home when he was younger. You seemed close to him," Miley said flatly."Yes. We were classmates in elementary school," Alyssa reminisced. "I fended off the class bullies for him, and he started sticking around me because he was grateful."I didn't have many friends in the class due to my family background. Since everyone kept their distance, I had no choice but to be friends with Jameson."To be honest, it was a happy time in my childhood. Later, Jameson went to Kontina with his mom, and we lost contact for 15 years.""So, he's practically a stranger after all these

    The doors of the three cars opened simultaneously. Zoe and Penelope disembarked from their respective vehicles, followed by the gray-haired Cornelius, dressed in an opulent black fur coat. Holding a walking stick with a golden eagle carving, he exited the car with Zoe's help, looking stern."Dad, be careful," Penelope cautioned while approaching him.Cornelius let out a heavy sigh at the sight of the Becketts' gate. "Jasper did not show up at all when you visited the Becketts to discuss marriage. Is that right?"She bit her lips and nodded shamefully. "Yes.""You're useless."Zoe silently pouted, seemingly unhappy at her mom as well.Penelope explained fearfully, "You know Jasper's character well. Even Javier can't force him to do anything against his will. Sophia, as his stepmother, is of no use at all."Ever since Penelope's husband's passing, Landon had been the pillar of support for their small family. Without Landon, Cornelius would have looked down on Penelope even more.

    Jasper strode out of the room and hurried down the stairs, his pace so brisk that Xavier had to jog to keep up. As Jasper reached the living room, he spotted Justin sitting upright in his wheelchair, alone. Their eyes locked when Jasper was just a few steps away.Hostility flickered between their gazes.Curling his lips upward into a slight smile, Justin asked, "Jasper, heading out at this hour?"Xavier gritted his teeth, loathing the self-righteous air Justin exuded, as if he always held the upper hand. The sight made him want to charge forward and knock Justin clean off his wheelchair."It's late. Why aren't you in bed?" Jasper asked coldly, his tone as sharp as his glare. "It seems that broken body of yours is still holding up.""Jasper, you seem to be in a rush. Did something happen? Do you need my help?" Justin maintained the smile on his face, disregarding Jasper's sarcastic remark. "It's none of your business."Without another word, Jasper swept past him. Justin's

    Jasper lay restrained on the bed, his body writhing violently as waves of agony crashed over him. A towel clenched between his teeth muffled his cries, though it could not silence the torment. Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of invisible ants—a relentless, gnawing pain brought on by withdrawal.He knew he could no longer rely on the medication. Time and again, the temptation clawed at him, urging him to surrender and take the easy way out. Relief was just a pill away. But Jasper's willpower, though battered, refused to shatter. Anne's words echoed in his mind, a guiding light in the darkness. She had always taught him to be a righteous man—one with a clear conscience. Curling into himself, Jasper shut his bloodshot eyes. He couldn't disappoint Anne. He couldn't let down those who believed in him. He had to resist the dark side. Outside the room, Xavier glanced at his wristwatch. Judging the timing to be right, he pushed the door open and l

    "How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

    Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa. Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks. She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse. With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy. She was counting down the hours until nightfall. After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did. The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table.

    Axel and Amber had only spent half a month together before the former was called back to report for work. The night before his departure, they spent hours lost in each other, their passion unrelenting. Again and again, they exchanged kisses, their love pouring forth in an endless tide."Amber, three months… Just give me three more months." When their fervor finally waned, Axel held Amber close in his arms. They rested against the headboard, leaning into one another, too exhausted to move yet unwilling to let sleep claim them."Once I finish all the missions I've taken on, I'll hand in my resignation. After that, I'll spend all my time with you," Axel murmured, his voice steady with resolve. "We'll go wherever you want. If you want fun, I'll have fun with you. If you want chaos, I'll spend my life going crazy with you."Axel wasn't one for flowery words. He simply spoke from the heart. Right now, his heart only wanted Amber—forever.Amber nestled closer, her soft smile masking t
