Chapter 841

Author: Ginger Sue
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed.

A miserable scream came from behind as the bodyguard, who attempted to harm Silas, was hit in the head by a trash can that had suddenly flown over. With that, he crashed heavily to the ground.

This scene left everyone else dumbfounded. They actually withdrew their aggressiveness, and none dared to approach anymore.

"Silas! Why is your reaction so slow?"

Silas abruptly turned around to see Axel, hands casually in his trench coat pockets, shaking his head as he walked toward them.

The trash can that this guy had kicked over just now had genuinely scared them.

Still gripping Silas' suit jacket, Rose slowly opened her reddened eyes. As she raised her pale face, she locked eyes with him.

"Are you ... okay?"

Silas lowered his eyes in response to her passionate gaze. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, then pounded like a crazy drum.

"I'm fine. Let's get out of here."

"Get out? You punched our boss. None of you will get out of here!" The bodyguards surr

    "My mother's first pregnancy was quadruplets, and I'm the second oldest. I resemble my eldest brother a lot. Axel looks like my third brother. They both take after my mother."Normally, Silas would never discuss family matters with others.However, for some reason, he wanted to satisfy her curiosity. It happened to be a way to divert her attention. She was truly anxious and nervous earlier."Oh ... so it seems Madam looks half like your mother and half like Mr. Taylor."Rose's eyes sparkled with admiration. "Madam really has inherited the essence of both parents."Hearing that, Silas couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, he noticed that Rose was very thin, even thinner than Alyssa.Her beautiful shoulders protruded, making her look like the perfect model for all clothes. However, there was no shortage in areas where there should be flesh.For some reason, Silas felt a twinge of tenderness. He gradually tightened his grip on her shoulders."Who were those two men who bullied you? W

    On the other hand, Axel had already taken care of the two foreigners, including the group of weak bodyguards.He beat them up and locked them in the restroom of a private room, hanging a sign outside that said, "Do Not Disturb".They were all too weak for him, not even enough to warm up.Since Axel couldn't afford to create too much commotion, he quickly ended the fight. After all, he was in Solana City and not abroad. He had to be cautious, given his status.After leaving the nightclub, Axel received a call from Silas."It's all settled, Silas. You can relax and enjoy some alone time with your girlfriend. They won't bother you again," he said, yawning."She's not my girlfriend. Stop talking nonsense!" Silas sounded annoyed, with a hint of frustration."Tsk, tsk, do you think I'm dumb or blind? The guy who cares less about everything suddenly turns into a hero tonight. The girl knows your name and even threw herself into your arms. You two are obviously more than friends."Axel

    When Rose heard that, her tense heart finally eased a bit.After years of companionship, Alyssa was no longer just the mentor who brought her a glimmer of hope in adversity. She was not only a friend but also a family. Rose didn't want to make Alyssa worry or cause her trouble.Just then, Rose's phone rang.She glanced at the screen, and her eyes darkened. As she clenched the phone, her knuckles turned white.Seeing her mood turn low, Silas tactfully exited the room and closed the door.However, he lingered nearby, eavesdropping on the conversation.He knew it wasn't the best thing to do, but for some reason, he felt a strong desire to care for her.Besides, he could tell that, from the nightclub onward, Rose hadn't told him a single truth, no matter how he asked. As a prosecutor for many years, he had developed sharp insight. So, her guarded thoughts were transparent to him.In the room, Rose hesitated for a while before reluctantly answering the call."Dad.""What happened

    "I won't go back, and I won't meet with them tomorrow either! Do you know that I was almost—" Rose choked down her sobs at this point.There was a sudden silence on the other end.After a while, there was a change in George's attitude. His tone softened, but his words were more cutting."Rose, I know you're in a difficult situation. But at the moment, our family is facing difficulties. As a daughter of the Emerson family, sacrificing a bit for the family is reasonable, isn't it?"Your sister is about to be engaged to the second son of the Dalton family in Northuis. She has sacrificed a lot for our family, too."Rose's eyes turned crimson instantly as she asked word by word, "Did you know that those two men had evil intentions toward me from the beginning? Is that so?"George remained silent."You knew everything and still let me meet them. Is this how you put your daughter in danger?" Rose cried out in anger and frustration, tears streaming down her face.Silas didn't catch all

    Rose's sudden cardiac arrest was no small matter. Silas took her to the hospital and notified Alyssa to come and visit.He knew his little sister's temperament. Keeping this a secret any longer would lead her to disown him as her brother.Early the next morning, Alyssa and Sean rushed back from Belbanks to the hospital where Rose was hospitalized in Solana City."Silas, what happened? How could Rose have a heart attack?" Alyssa was in distress, tears swirling in her eyes."The doctor said Rose has a weak constitution and a heart condition, but it's not too severe."A heart condition?Alyssa shivered, and Sean hurriedly supported her trembling figure.She felt awful for Rose.Not only was Rose her apprentice, but she was also her best friend. Yet she didn't even know about her physical condition.What a disappointment she was in her role as a mentor!Recalling Rose and her family's phone call last night, Silas clenched his fists silently.His voice was hoarse as he explained,

    In the ward, Rose weakly leaned against the bedside, hooked up to an IV. The morning sunlight spilled onto her pallid face, creating a beauty that made others feel bad for her."Rose," Alyssa softly called her name, her eyes reddened.For a moment, she couldn't believe that the frail woman before her was the same carefree and cheerful apprentice she knew."Madam?" Stunned, Rose quickly pulled her needled hand under the blanket."What happened?"Alyssa sat by the bed and gently held Rose's hand, asking with concern, "How did it come to this? Who bullied you?"Rose bit her lip and remained silent."Tell me quickly. I'll stand up for you.""I was just dizzy from low blood sugar. It's nothing serious.""Even now, you won't tell the truth? Do you not know you have a heart condition? How long do you plan on keeping it from me?"Alyssa was so frustrated that her face was flushed, and she tightened her grip on Rose's hand. "Silas told me you received a call last night. After that c

    Alyssa exclaimed, "What?"Alyssa abruptly stood up from her chair, staring at Silas in disbelief. "Illegitimate daughter? The Emerson family's illegitimate daughter?""So it's understandable that she hid her background from you." Looking at Rose's background check, Silas felt uneasy for some reason.Compared to those who openly expressed their sadness and misfortune, he felt more sympathetic toward Rose, who kept everything inside."Rose is such a fool." Alyssa felt as though her heart was cut with a knife, making it hard for her to breathe."The two foreign men Rose drank with last night are high-level executives from a foreign construction company. They're involved in business dealings with the Emerson family."Considering Rose's conversation with her father last night, it seems like the Emerson family arranged everything.""This is outrageous! Did they actually make their own daughter drink with clients for business? George, that heartless scum, is he out of his mind?"Aly

    George would probably have regretted it if he had known that he was talking to Winston's second son, Alyssa's second brother. He might even wish he were dead."You don't need to talk so arrogantly here. If you dare to have any ideas about Rose again, you'll see me deal with you." Silas tilted his jaw slightly, smirking coldly.In terms of arrogance, who could be more arrogant than someone from the Taylor family?"You—" George was furious. He roared, "Who the hell are you?"Silas swallowed and somehow had the courage to put his hand around Rose's slender shoulder, pulling her into his arms.Caught off guard, Rose didn't dare to move, and her heart was in turmoil."I'm Rose's boyfriend."After saying that, Silas directly hung up the phone, not giving George a chance to retort.The ward suddenly became very quiet.Both Silas and Rose remained silent."Uh, don't get me wrong. I was caught up in the moment just now." Silas quickly tried to cover for his unintentional words."I di

    Searching for Amber without direction would be pointless. Jasper made a swift decision to bring Alyssa back to the manor, shielding her from the relentless chill of the wind. Once inside, he immediately began organizing the search. He deployed his men and contacted Landon, requesting additional support.The two of them sat together on the couch.This time, there was no space between them. It was as though an invisible force drew them closer, their proximity feeling natural yet electric. Neither could say who had moved first.Alyssa, however, was in no mood to dwell on their closeness. Wrapped in her down jacket, she curled up on the couch, her arms hugging herself tightly. A quiet frostiness emanated from her as she sat in silence, listening to Jasper's calm and methodical calls to mobilize his team.In the past, his composed presence would have been enough to ease her mind. But now, her thoughts were a tangled mess, each one like a razor claw tearing at her heart. The pain was u

    "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.

    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
