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

    Zoe was manipulated? Could there be hidden motives in the incident?"Mr. Landon, is that true?" Rosie couldn't hold back, slapping her thigh indignantly. "I knew it! Mr. Jasper is very innocent. I've watched him grow up. I don't believe he's the kind of man who loses his mind when he sees a woman and is unable to control his lower half."If he really were like that, would Madam love Mr. Jasper so much? There must be something fishy here."Penelope's eyes turned red. "What do you mean? Are you saying my daughter is promiscuous, and she set a trap for Jasper?""I didn't say that. You said it yourself." Rosie rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.Rosie had never married or had children of her own. Her only Achilles' heel was Jasper. She wasn't afraid of these wealthy and influential people."You … You old woman!"Penelope covered her aching chest, glaring at Sophia. "Madam Sophia, are your servants all so rude? They speak to guests like this, and you don't even interfere?""Oh

    Alyssa didn't expect Jasper to carry her to the room where she had lived alone for three years.Jasper's original intention was to carefully place her on the bed. However, her restlessness in his arms led to a loosened grip, and she ended up descending heavily onto the bed.Luckily, Alyssa had not undergone plastic surgery. Otherwise, her nose might have suffered."You didn't stay still. I didn't mean to drop you." Jasper looked down at her. Seeing her awkward state, he couldn't help but find it amusing."You bastard. You always find various excuses for yourself!" Alyssa muttered indignantly.She attempted to sit up on the bed. But the moment she did, Jasper seized her ankle, and he promptly pressed her back down."Let go of my foot! Are you a pervert?" Alyssa quickly curled her legs. Almost revealing too much, she felt extremely embarrassed.Alyssa had a grasp of self-defense techniques, but from Jasper's perspective, they seemed no more significant than her routine stretching

    "Mr. Javier will definitely be very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and your status in Harper Group will also get a boost," Alyssa remarked. "Do you think I care about that?" Jasper felt like he was going to explode."Who cares if you care or not? Don't mind my business, and I won't bother with yours. I'm leaving."Alyssa came tonight to cause trouble for Sophia, not to be bothered by him.She just wanted to leave this room as quickly as possible, as being alone with him in this room made her feel suffocated.She was a sensitive woman, easily affected by emotions and prone to sentimental reactions. And in this room, when she looked back on her three years of marriage with Jasper, all she could recall were unpleasant memories.Moreover, she had lost her virginity in this room. And Jasper, even to this day, still hadn't remembered the night they spent together.It was better to forget anyway. Some things, when remembered, only caused pain.Alyssa stood up gracefully, trea

    However, Jasper suddenly realized that Alyssa wasn't seeking an explanation or defense. She wasn't concerned about his innocence.What she wanted was for him to disappear from her life completely....Landon's presented evidence, while not direct, still implied an indirect solid connection. This incident had become much more complicated than it should have been.Luckily, only members of the Beckett and Harper families were present tonight. Making these matters public to outsiders or the media could ruin Zoe's reputation.After all, Landon was Zoe's brother, and it was impossible for him to be so ruthless.Landon refused to compromise, and the situation was at a stalemate. Cornelius had no choice but to leave first. He needed to go back and investigate the whole situation thoroughly."Landon, Zoe, you two are coming back with me!" Cornelius said, standing up with his cane."Mr. Cornelius, are you leaving just like this? Have you settled your granddaughter's marriage?" Alyssa's

    Acquaintance?A shockwave of disbelief swept through everyone like an earthquake. Their eyes widened, and all attention turned to Sophia.This included Javier and the members of the Harper family. However, only Jasper remained calm amid the commotion, just like Alyssa.Ever since Alyssa began suspecting Sophia, he had also harbored suspicions. Unfortunately, he suffered a severe head injury during that time and had to undergo life-threatening surgery. Following that, Zoe had caused chaos, delaying his investigation.Tonight, when Alyssa came alone to find Sophia, he took her upstairs, intending to stop her actions. He didn't want Alyssa to get into trouble.

    Sophia was in disbelief. In front of everyone, despite being his elder, Jasper openly mocked her.Sophia stated, "Heh, being the Beckett family's mistress demands that I guide this young one!" Sophia glared at Alyssa before adding, "Alyssa, this is Seaview Manor, not your Heightsnew Villa! As the Beckett family's chairwoman and mistress, how can I tolerate you spewing nonsense here?"Jasper couldn't bear it any longer. He was about to speak, but Alyssa interrupted with a contemptuous smile as she asked, "Mistress? Does Mr. Beckett Senior recognize you as the mistress?"A wave of astonishment swept through the crowd.Alyssa's arrogant behavior in front of Sophia showed that she truly deserved to be the young lady of the Taylor family!Betty watched her mother's face shift between shades of red and white. It was an almost unbearable sight that left her feeling humiliated.She wanted to defend her mother but hesitated upon seeing Landon and Jasper present. They would undoubtedly b

    "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. She was teetering on the edge of madness."Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"…Jasper drove to

    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.
