Sophia flourished and later surpassed, eventually being legitimized by Javier. She assumed the role that originally belonged to Jasper's mother and became Javier's remarried wife."Jasper, don't be sad. Anne has passed away, and none of us feels good about it. From now on, I am your mother, and Betty is your real sister.""Alas, your mother was truly a good person, but unfortunately, she lacked some luck compared to me. I hope she is not tormented by illness on the other side. I believe she wouldn't blame me for taking her place, right? She was so kind. She surely wouldn't blame me."Jasper couldn't forget the sarcastic words Sophia had said to him at his mother's funeral.Although young, he still sensed the insincerity behind the woman's friendly smile.In the blink of an eye, it had been over 20 years since then. Over the years, it felt as if everyone, including the entire Beckett family, had forgotten his mother—everyone except him.Tears welled up in Jasper's eyes as he hea

Jasper used 80 percent of his strength with that slap. He knew his hands, honed in military training, possessed immense power. Sophia wouldn't only be looking for her teeth if he used full force. She might even end up unconscious.He didn't want to give her an opportunity to leave. Many grievances between Alyssa and her still needed to be settled!Everyone was in a panic. Upon witnessing Jasper slap Sophia, no one dared to intervene.In this household, not even Javier could control Jasper. Who else could?Frightened, Betty let out a shriek before covering her mouth. Her whole body was sweaty, and her legs shook vigorously!Seeing her mother being slapped, she didn't even have the courage to rush forward and stop it!The Harper family members were also dumbfounded. Although Sophia's words were quite harsh, she was still Javier's wife, Jasper's stepmother, and considered an elder. How could Jasper dare to slap an elder in front of so many people?It was audacious and bold!

Jasper didn't voice it out loud, but Alyssa was also his limit. However, in Alyssa's heart, was he truly her limit? He might not even measure up to Jameson in her eyes.As Jasper pondered, he experienced an overwhelming mix of discontent, anger, and loss, making it unbearable. He forcefully averted his gaze from Alyssa's captivating beauty, no longer looking at her.As if they shared a telepathic connection, Alyssa stole a glance at him. Upon witnessing his cold, determined gaze fixed ahead, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.Sophia shivered violently. Her heart leaped into her throat, making it difficult to breathe. Now, Javier had lost control over Jasper, and her man was no longer a reliable pillar of support.If he found out she had caused his mother's depression to worsen, there would be no escape for her! She had bribed a maid back then. This maid was the one Anne trusted the most, second only to Rosie. She made her change the depression medication to a central nerv

Landon smirked. His lips curled as he looked at Alyssa. "Grandpa, truth be told, when I first saw Alyssa, I was deeply captivated. I immediately pursued her passionately."Zoe gritted her teeth as she listened, despising every bit of it."What? You pursued this Taylor girl?"Surprised, Cornelius asked with curiosity, "Why didn't you two end up together? I heard people say you're quite the ladies' man."Penelope was speechless hearing the conversation."Well, she wasn't interested in me," Landon confessed, scratching his head sheepishly."Even you weren't good enough? Does she think she can marry someone from heaven?" Cornelius was somewhat displeased. But considering Alyssa's ex-husband was Jasper, his grandson's defeat wasn't too embarrassing.…"30 years ago, a guy named Ronald Branson worked at TS Network. He not only teamed up with you in numerous shows but also served you in various capacities for a long time. Your connection with him is quite peculiar. "Even Lyla an
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 790
Meanwhile, Ronald had endured three days and three nights of relentless questioning at the detention center. The harsh lights glared down, tormenting both his mind and body.But under the layers of pressure, he stood his ground. As long as he thought of Sophia, as long as he thought of the lady who filled his thoughts day and night, the one he couldn't get close to, he would endure it even if the sky collapsed.At that moment, the interrogation room door swung open, and Cyrus strolled in with an indifferent expression. In front of the suspects and criminals, he no longer resembled the affluent and noble Cyrus Taylor. Instead, he had the demeanor of a gangster. Even people from the criminal underworld would address him with respect. Cyrus yawned and casually pulled out a steel chair, sweeping his long legs as he sat down."Smith, make a cup of coffee for Mr. Branson to refresh him. The night has just begun.""Yes, Chief Taylor."Ronald sneered. He then asked through gritted t

Cyrus' gaze darkened as he added in a cold, harsh tone, "So the claim you made earlier about hating Lyla out of love for her is completely baseless."Ronald clenched his jaw, sneering, "Even if you find out, so what? I am indeed Sophia's fan. I love her madly. I can do anything for her, including killing Lyla!"Furious, Cyrus's shoulders shook, and he yearned to crush Ronald's despicable head."But when it comes to my relationship with Sophia ... Well, there isn't any. She has no ties to me. It's all just my one-sided wish. I'm ready to do anything for her, even if it involves dying or killing. And she doesn't have to be aware of any of it."Ronald's audacious words stemmed from his confidence that being charged with intentional harm, the worst-case scenario would be attempted murder. Jasper and Lyla were unharmed, and even if the Taylor family wanted to go after him, there wasn't much they could do.Unfortunately, he failed to fulfill the task Sophia assigned to him.Cyrus kne

Javier regarded Sophia with a cool and lowered gaze, his icy stare concealed beneath his thick lashes. "Did you secretly instruct Ronald to attack Lyla in the last incident, Mrs. Beckett?" Alyssa suddenly changed the topic."I didn't! Everything was Ronald's idea, and it has nothing to do with me!" Sophia clutched Javier's suit, her teary eyes blurred. "Javier, I bear no grudges against Lyla. Why would I do that? I'm the lady of the Beckett family. Lyla is just Winston Taylor's mistress! Why would I bother with a concubine like her?"With a scowl, Javier ordered her sternly, "Sophie! Stop talking." "Ms. Sophia Kirkman, you can insult me, but you cannot insult my family." Alyssa's gaze sharpened as she pointed her finger directly at Sophia's tearful and sinister face. "Be careful. If you dare to insult Lyla again, I might slap you too!"The room fell into an awkward silence. People from the Harper family also wore a dumbfounded expression.Cornelius shook his head and

Penelope choked at Alyssa's words, her heart rate becoming irregular.Alyssa couldn't help but notice that Penelope's comebacks were not as sharp as Sophia's. It seemed ridiculous to Alyssa that Penelope dared to challenge her with such responses."Alyssa! How dare you contradict my mother like that! You're so disrespectful! She's your elder!" Zoe, holding Cornelius, acted like a watchdog, barking loudly at Alyssa.Jasper overheard, and his eyebrows tightened, expressing clear disdain for Zoe."Does age automatically make someone an 'elder'? Following that logic, I'm also your elder. Is it appropriate to address elders this way?"Alyssa, who was a head taller than Zoe, coldly looked down at her, intensifying the pressure on Zoe.Zoe trembled, her lips quivering. She was afraid to retort further for fear of Alyssa's harsh words.Penelope was aware that Cornelius wouldn't create problems for Winston's daughter over such a minor issue. So she kept sending frantic eye signals to Lan

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
