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.

    Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

    That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

    Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart

    Sheryl's eyes lit up. "And what might that reason be?"Justin's lips curved into a faint smirk, his voice calm yet carrying a cold, ethereal tone. "Besides Ms. Alyssa, there's another woman who holds great significance to Jasper. She's the only one who can compel him to act without hesitation." Remy, usually a man of few words, abruptly spoke up. "Is she the one you've mentioned before? The woman who saved Jasper on the battlefield?""After Jasper retired from the military, he was plagued by PTSD. He came back shattered, dispirited, even on the brink of taking his own life."During that time, I often spoke with him over the phone, urging him to hold on, to keep living. I reminded him that if I could endure this half-disabled existence, then surely, he could find a reason to go on."Justin's tone was leisurely, as though recounting something insignificant. He continued, "I told him that if he were gone, what would become of Beckett Group? More than that, he would leave Dad and G

    A first-rate Wiktorian mansion was located in a secluded and quiet area on the East Side. It was Justin's private residence. Outsiders were unaware of its existence. Sheryl arrived in the early hours of the morning, rushing to report to Justin, only to bump into Remy, who exuded an unmistakable air of coldness. His eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn't slept in days. A menacing vibe surrounded him, and his eyes burned with feral intensity. Sheryl felt unsettled and longed to flee his presence."You're like a ghoul," she muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes before knocking on the door to enter Justin's study.Remy remained expressionless in the face of her contemptuous remark. He followed her into the room. In his classically-decorated study, Justin sat in his wheelchair, idly toying with a colorful cockatiel in its gilded cage.Jameson once possessed an exquisite, costly cockatiel at The Millenium. A devoted follower of Justin, the former idolized the latter, mimicking

    Alyssa released Jasper's hand and quickly opened the car door. "Mr. Beckett, see you there, rain or shine." The warmth of her touch left his fingers as she withdrew. Jasper instinctively curled his fingers inward, his mouth parting to say something—anything—but hesitation held him back.Without waiting for his response, Alyssa slipped out of the car and disappeared into the night without a backward glance. It wasn't until she was fully gone that he whispered in a low, hoarse voice, "See you there, rain or shine." …When Alyssa returned to the parking lot, Sean was standing worriedly beside the car, waiting for her. Seeing her approach, eyes glistening with unshed tears, he knew she had just seen Jasper. A dull ache tugged at his heart, and he was certain their conversation had been anything but pleasant."Ms. Alyssa," he began softly, "I know you're relentless in everything you pursue. But some things in life… they just can't be forced. Sometimes, letting go can be its own k

    Xavier was confused. He caught the tie bar in his hands and asked, "What's this, Mr. Beckett?" Jasper closed his eyes to rest. He tugged at his tie knot but still felt suffocated."It was from Sheryl," he answered. Xavier let out a cry. "This filthy thing is from that wild woman? I don't want it!" With a disgusted look on his face, Xavier hurled the tie bar aside. "I'm already seeing someone. I don't want my girlfriend to misunderstand me." "Girlfriend?" "Yeah, Mr. Beckett. Maggie is my girlfriend." With his eyes closed, Jasper frowned. "She's become of age?" Xavier didn't know how he should react. "She's already in university, Mr. Beckett. Am I that much of an animal in your eyes?" Suddenly, the memory of himself and Alyssa rescuing Maggie flashed through Jasper's mind. Just then, Xavier exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Beckett, look!" Jasper opened his eyes slowly, and his heart jolted. Standing alone before his car was Alyssa, framed against the piercing headlights,

    Alyssa balled her hands into fists as she pressed them against the faux rock. All her focus was now directed onto Sheryl instead of Jasper. At this moment, Sheryl picked up the tie bar from its box. While Jasper was distracted, she clipped it onto his tie. Jasper was taken aback. He quickly stepped back, but Sheryl was quicker, and the tie bar was clipped on. "Mr. Jasper, it suits you really well." Sheryl's eyes were captivating, and her voice was sultry. If she were speaking with any other man, they would be easily captivated by her. "It looks like I made the right choice." Jasper's eyes dimmed. Yet, out of courtesy and because Sheryl worked for Justin, he did not react in any way that would put her in a difficult spot. Alyssa's eyes reflected a deep sorrow as she watched them, her gaze carrying the silent desolation of a snowstorm beginning to overtake her heart. Even so, she forced herself to stay rational. She pulled out her cell phone, wanting to record Sheryl's ever

    Jasper stumbled into the hotel's back garden and stopped by the pond. He panted hard, feeling as if he were drowning. Even so, he could not return to his usual composure. As he shook all over, he bent down and grabbed a handful of snow. The bone-piercing cold spread through his body, but he still couldn't suppress the throbbing pain in his temples. His eyes became bloodshot. He stuffed that handful of snow into his mouth and swallowed all of it. He couldn't suppress it. He couldn't suppress it at all.The pills. He needed those pills! "Mr. Jasper? What are you doing here?" Sheryl's surprised voice came from behind Jasper.He held his breath, his fingers tightening around the snow in his grasp, veins bulging as he clenched his fists. Slowly, he straightened his back and turned to face her. "I came out for some fresh air," he answered in an extremely hoarse voice. Sheryl narrowed her eyes and studied him. "Mr. Jasper, you look awful. Are you feeling unwell?" "I'm fine." A
