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?"

    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

    At exactly 7:00 pm, after the business conference, all the big shots and elite figures of Solana City rushed to Berenike Hotel to attend the cocktail party.Alyssa sped in her black Bugatti, with Julien tightly gripping the door handle on the passenger side. He stared straight ahead, not daring to say a word throughout the journey.He was afraid that saying too much would make him throw up last night's dinner.Finally, when they arrived at the hotel, Alyssa executed a beautiful and precise drift, smoothly parking in the designated spot."Get out." Alyssa unbuckled her seatbelt.Julien didn't move. His face was as pale as paper.Noticing no response from him, Alyssa blinked and waved her hand in front of him. "Hey, what's wrong? Petrified?""I ... want ... to ... vomit." Julien's face turned purple, and he was not doing well at all.Alyssa yelled, directly kicking him out of the car. "If you need to vomit, do it outside, not in my car!"The moment the car door opened, Julien st

    "Being the center of attention is not what matters. What matters is that Mr. Beckett likes it."Since Alyssa was not too far away, she could distinctly hear Renee's words. She raised her eyebrows slightly.Julien looked at Renee's pretentious look, and the nausea he had just suppressed seemed to rise again."Renee, do your best. Be considerate to Mr. Beckett, and he'll gradually be moved by you."Dominic didn't forget to belittle Alyssa. He sneered. "You're my daughter. No matter what, you're better than that divorced Alyssa. Renee, be confident. You're not inferior to Alyssa at all."It's just that you and Mr. Beckett lack a bit of fate, but that's not important. Fate can be created. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett embody the essence of a complete lack of fate. Otherwise, why would they be divorced?"As Alyssa listened silently to the father and daughter's big words, her cool face showed no emotion.Meanwhile, Julien stared at Dominic and his daughter leaving the parking lot with wide e

    Renee remarked, "Look at the way you're putting it. Lyse, aren't you always low-key? You never attend such public events.""Oh? Then you'll have to get used to it," Alyssa retorted. Alyssa narrowed her eyes at Renee with an intriguing expression. "From now on, I'll frequently appear in public. I think we should meet often to catch up."Renee's face showed an awkward smile, but she was exploding with anger on the inside."Miss, please show your invitation," the staff politely asked Alyssa."I don't have an invitation," Alyssa said openly.Renee covered her mouth and laughed sardonically. She finally found a chance to turn the tables."Lyse, has it been a long time since you attended such high-end events? Don't you know you need an invitation to enter? You're causing trouble for the staff like this."The staff also looked awkward. "I'm sorry, miss. You can't enter without an invitation.""I'm Alyssa Taylor," Alyssa said indifferently.The word "Alyssa Taylor" was like a thunde

    Jasper responded, "I'm just curious.""I didn't do much. I just disfigured her," Landon revealed.When Landon recalled the pitiful state Betty was in when she was tortured in the warehouse that day, he couldn't help but laugh."Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why I hadn't seen her lately. She's probably too embarrassed to show her face in public anymore."Jasper nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Landon seriously. "During this time when you've been staying with Lauren, you didn't do anything to her, did you?"At this question, Landon's heart skipped a beat.He suddenly recalled the scene from last night where he and Lauren were entangled in the bathroom, kissing as if they couldn't bear to part. At once, he felt a rush of heat from his lower abdomen.Just as he was unsure how to answer, Xavier urgently ran over from the other end of the corridor."M-Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa is here."Hearing that, Landon widened his eyes and looked at Jasper.Meanwhile, upon hearing t

    There were many people around.But the moment when Jasper and Alyssa made eye contact, it seemed as if everything fell silent, and all the noise around them disappeared.Seeing her crush, Renee was so excited that her eyes lit up.She quickly took out her powder compact and touched up her makeup. Then she walked toward Jasper excitedly.However, she had only walked halfway when several socialites crowded around, pushing her to the outermost circle.Renee anxiously clutched her dress.Why was it so difficult to get close to Jasper?But Alyssa had secretly married this outstanding man. Why was God so unfair? Why did Alyssa get all the good things?The more Renee thought about it, the more annoyed and unfair she felt. She angrily squeezed her way to the front.Jasper was just right in front of her. After thinking briefly, she pretended to be unsteady. With a shout, she directly threw herself at Jasper.At once, Jasper frowned. He had wanted to dodge, but with people on all sides

    On second thought, Zoe could help Betty get revenge against Lauren and Landon. She found some solace in this thought.However, as Betty's eyes wandered absentmindedly, they fell upon Landon sitting on a sofa in the corner.She felt traumatized. Instantly, her legs went weak, and she ended up sitting on the stairs.The people around all turned to look at Betty. Seeing her embarrassed look, they burst into quiet laughter."What are you doing?"Sophia looked at Betty with disdain. "There are so many people watching. Get up quickly."However, Betty's legs were trembling, and she found it difficult to stand up.For the first time in her life, she experienced the taste of being threatened, suppressed, and tormented by trauma.As Betty contemplated Landon, her thoughts swirled with anger, painting him in her mind as an embodiment of malevolence.Alyssa watched as Renee threw herself at Jasper, and he didn't immediately push her away.Swiftly coursing through her, a chilling sensatio

    It was as though Renee was nothing more than a pile of garbage at his feet.Renee was completely disoriented, kneeling on the ground and forgetting to stand up.No compare, no despair.This comparison had made her experience extreme despair."Ms. Alyssa, is there something you want to talk about?" Jasper approached Alyssa. His gaze was profound, and his voice was husky."Yes. Can we talk privately?" Alyssa's eyes were calm. Though she was not loud, it was enough for everyone around to hear.Without hesitation, Jasper replied, "Sure."The two left together under the watchful eyes of the crowd.Behind, there were only sounds of surprised sighs, one after another.They all felt that the two were truly a perfect couple. They were so well-matched that it drew envy.…Alyssa and Jasper arrived at the hotel's back garden.The cool night breeze scattered her luscious black hair into the air, creating a scene as mesmerizing as a painting.The two fell into silence.

    "Jas…"Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused. "Yes, it's me—Jasper!"Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest."Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…" Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side."Alyssa! Stay awake!" Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to pu

    Elias frowned deeply; his worry etched onto his face. "We've been shouting Ms. Alyssa's name the whole way. With so many of us calling out, she should've heard us by now if she were nearby!"In a deep voice, Jasper said, "The wind is too strong, and then there's the heavy snowfall. Our voices are being drowned out. Lyse might not hear us at all."Lyse. Her nickname slipped from his lips before he even realized it."I'm just afraid she's injured—or worse, fainted. If she blacks out in this cold…" Elias trailed off, his voice heavy with dread. "On a day like this, she won't survive long. She'll freeze to death."The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of his words tightening their chests.It wasn't that Elias was being a doomsayer. Rather, this was the cruel reality that might actually happen. Crater Mountain claimed lives every year. Danger lurked unpredictably in the woods on the mountain—anything could unfold."Let's split up," Jasper commanded, his eyes fixed on t

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

    The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

    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
