Jasper casually placed his left hand in his pocket on the white marble-carved spiral staircase. His tailored gray suit outlined his figure as he descended the stairs elegantly.

Zoe stared at his handsome face and forgot to cry, half-opening her mouth in astonishment.

Jasper was truly the fantasy of all women.

Zoe was willing to lose her dignity and shame just to cling to him. She felt that she didn't make the wrong move.

No matter what, she must obtain him.

"Mr. Jasper, what do you mean by that? You bullied my granddaughter, but now it has become her fault?" Cornelius's gaze was sharp as he questioned coldly.

Jasper smirked. "You've understood. There's no need for me to repeat it and embarrass your granddaughter again, don't you think?"

His words left everyone in shock.

What did he mean by that?

Did something happen during that night they spent together?

Instantly, Zoe's face turned pale. She hid in Cornelius's arms and bit her lip, afraid to make a sound.

"Y-You!"

    At that moment, Jasper found himself to be laughable. He had thought that, despite Zoe's bad behavior, there should still be a trace of innocence in her. After all, she was his best friend's only sister.However, he had misjudged her. Her relationship with Landon was only by blood, and Zoe was nothing like Landon in other aspects.She had already been corrupted, perhaps even inherently bad from the beginning. The only reason Jasper had seen the good in her was the fact that she was Landon's sister.Since that was the case, he didn't need to show mercy for the sake of his best friend."Zoe! What nonsense are you talking about? Getting hit by a car? If something happens to you, how can I continue living?" Penelope pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her tears."Zoe is my only granddaughter, my precious jewel! She has been raised with the utmost care since childhood. She had never suffered any hardship."She cursed herself just to prove her innocence to you. This shows that every

    "Madam Penelope, you may not be aware of our family situation. Despite being a servant, Mrs. Rosie holds a high position in our family."Sophia started sarcastically, taunting Rosie. "She doesn't even respect us as the hosts of this house, let alone you as guests.""Sophia, you know very well why Mrs. Rosie holds such a high position."Jasper walked to Rosie's side and positioned himself before her, acting like a shield. His gaze turned frosty as he glared at Sophia, causing her to shudder."After my mother passed away, Mrs. Rosie has been with me, taking care of me like her son. In my eyes, she's as important as my mother.""Mr. Jasper." Rosie was moved, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes."And I've already said it. In Seaview Manor, Rosie only takes care of my daily life. She's not your servant. Isn't it normal for her not to listen to you?"At his words, people couldn't help but snicker.After all, in Seaview Manor, Rosie's popularity surpassed that of Sophia and he

    At this point, everyone knew that Jasper had someone in his heart, and that particular someone was their former madam.Why did Alyssa suddenly appear now? What was she here for?Did she hear about the Harper family pressuring Jasper into marriage, so she came to save him?Alyssa wore a tight black dress draped with a stylish black velvet shrug. Her hair swayed down to her waist, and her red lips were vivid. She looked cool and elegant.Two initially contradictory qualities harmonized perfectly in her. She was truly astonishing.She exerted such pressure on Zoe with a single assured glance that the latter couldn't lift her head.Upon seeing Alyssa's sudden appearance, Penelope quickly pressed on her tightened chest.When she recalled Alyssa's deeds, she felt that even their entire family joining forces might not be enough to compete with her. Penelope's not-so-healthy heart couldn't take it."Grandpa, she's the one I mentioned to you, Alyssa," Zoe urgently whispered to Cornelius

    The hall fell into an eerie silence as Alyssa's imposing presence made everyone feel like they were in an icy abyss.Her intimidating presence was no less formidable than that of Cornelius, a figure known in legitimate and underworld circles.Sophia, who had been wearing a smug smile, assumed that Alyssa had heard about the Harper family pressuring Jasper into marriage and had come to snatch him away from Zoe.Sophia was ready to witness a dramatic showdown, but Alyssa's unexpected claim that she had come to see her threw her off guard."Ms. Alyssa, you're here for me? We don't seem to have any disputes, do we? Why do you want to see me?" Sophia asked with surprise, forcing a nervous laugh."Actually, our dispute ended the day Jasper and I got divorced. But your dispute with an old acquaintance is far from over," Alyssa said calmly, her tone devoid of any emotion.Yet Alyssa's calm words were like a bomb that caught everyone off guard."Zoe, what did Ms. Alyssa just say?

    Why did Alyssa want to talk to Sophia about that? Did she find out something? Did that man betray Sophia?That was impossible!Alyssa must be trying to deceive her."Ms. Alyssa, you should find another time to talk. Perhaps tomorrow?"Sensing the weird atmosphere, Javier hurriedly stepped forward in an attempt to drive Alyssa away. "As you can see, we have guests at home now, so it's not quite the right time."Alyssa's initially smiling eyes abruptly grew cold. Just as she was about to speak, Jasper unexpectedly grabbed her wrist and led her upstairs before everyone. His grip was so strong that she couldn't break free. "What are you doing, Jasper? Let go!" Alyssa's cheeks flushed, and she tried hard to break free, but it was in vain.Once Jasper made up his mind, nothing could stop him."Oh my!" Rosie covered her mouth, full of excitement. In her thoughts, she considered Jasper to be exceedingly domineering but found Alyssa to be remarkably adorable."Jasper! Jasper, where

    At the mention of it, Cornelius' look at Betty underwent a change, accompanied by a disapproving click of his tongue.Fortunately, Landon had good judgment and didn't take a liking to this impudent woman before him. Otherwise, it would have been a misfortune for the family."You …" Betty was infuriated, staring wide-eyed.Zoe sneered. "Even if you're upset, there's nothing you can do. After all, Landon just doesn't fancy you."Betty covered her chest and laughed, a mix of anger in her amusement. "It goes both ways, doesn't it? Jasper doesn't fancy you either.""You … " Zoe was the one burning with anger this time."When I came back, I saw Alyssa's limited edition Bugatti parked at the gate. It seems she's already here."With hands on her hips, Betty yawned. "I see that Jasper isn't here. Did he go with Alyssa, leaving you stranded here again?""Betty Beckett!" Zoe's eyes turned red, wishing she could pounce on Betty and rip her mouth apart."Oh, Zoe, Jasper is always like that

    "Jasper! You jerk! Don't touch me! Put me down!"Alyssa's face instantly turned red as she twisted her waist, her legs restlessly kicking up and down.The hand that initially clutched Jasper's shirt became a fist, pounding vigorously on his chest.Even though her hand was sore from the pounding, for him, it was like being tickled. He was even enjoying it."I told you to listen to me, but you didn't. If you don't listen, I can only carry you."The gaze Jasper directed at Alyssa carried profound affection. Despite his cold gaze, there was a hidden warmth in his eyes as they looked at her. He found himself unable to rein in his emotions. After all, could it truly be deemed love if it were within one's control?"Why should I listen to you? Who are you? I won't listen! I just won't!" Alyssa's face turned redder from the anger, and she struggled even harder."If you don't stay still, I'll kiss you." Jasper swallowed hard and squinted his eyes. "You beast!" She shrank her whole bod

    However, the Harper Group was one of the top ten consortiums in the country, with business ventures spanning Andgalbia.Although not as prominent as the Taylor family and not among the wealthiest, the Harper family had a neutral stance. They could still pose a significant threat if they teamed up with the Schmidt family. They happened to be the Beckett family's arch-enemy."Grandpa, why won't you listen to me? I've only been away for a few days, and you're already causing trouble for the Beckett family?"The echoing sounds of leather shoes, cold and imposing, reverberated through the hall.Following that, Landon walked into the view of the astonished crowd.When Sophia saw him, her eyes lit up like she had discovered a diamond mine. After all, he was her future son-in-law.If Landon became her son-in-law, she would be over the moon. Those socialites who had previously ignored and looked down on her would have to flatter her.The bodyguards greeted in unison, "Mr. Landon!""Land

    "Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her." Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?" "There wasn't one." Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze."You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face."Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!" Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away. Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face.

    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.

    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.

    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
