Chapter 851

Author: Ginger Sue
"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. It seemed like t

    Even without profanities, Jasper's words were akin to a sharp blade, leaving Alyssa feeling wounded."Jasper, I've never trampled on your dignity. Wasn't it you who came to me every time after the divorce?"Alyssa's eyes turned slightly red, but she defiantly wore a smirk that could infuriate anyone. She looked beautiful, yet her demeanor only made hearts ache for her."Your dignity is something you didn't want yourself. Now you blame me? Do you have no shame?"She shouldn't have come. She shouldn't have cared about him.If only she had known this would happen.Alyssa thought that Jasper was a scumbag and he deserved whatever that came his way. Suddenly, Jasper's breathing halted, and he felt a strong dizziness rush to his head. His figure swayed slightly."Hey! What are you doing?"Before the words could settle, a stone hit Jasper right on the back of his head.Jasper felt a sharp pain, and his brows furrowed.Meanwhile, Julien had already walked over briskly, reaching out

    "Dr. Lovelace is a renowned neurologist in Mosgravia. I specifically brought him to Solana City to treat the aftereffects for you.""Go back. I don't need it," Jasper replied, looking down. He refused outright. "Jasper, do you think I'm negotiating with you?" Alyssa's eyes widened."Do you think I'm negotiating with you, Alyssa?"Jasper locked eyes with Alyssa. His gaze appeared chillingly indifferent, as if veiled by a layer of ice. "My affairs have nothing to do with you. You don't need to care.""You … !""If you want to continue attending the party, move to the banquet hall. If you only came to talk to me about this, leave with your people."After saying that, Jasper turned and left expressionlessly without any hesitation or delay.He acted as if he and Alyssa had never met."Asshole! Do you want to die?" Alyssa shouted at his retreating figure, but he didn't stop."Jasper! Stop right there! Jasper!"Jasper gradually walked away, his figure disappearing into the night.

    Renee hid in the car, sobbing. Her eyeliner and mascara were smudged. She looked utterly pitiful."Enough! What are you crying for? Look at you, so pathetic!" Dominic was furious."I made such a fool of myself in front of so many people. What's wrong with shedding a few tears?"Renee miserably wiped her tears. "Mr. Beckett is really too much. I fell right in front of him. Shouldn't he help me? How could he turn a blind eye?"He can only see that bitch, Alyssa! His soul is with her!"When Dominic recalled Jasper's intense gaze and brazen stare at Alyssa, he was infuriated."Dad, Mr. Beckett still has feelings for Alyssa. What should I do?" Renee asked tearfully."What feelings? They wouldn't have gotten divorced if he truly had feelings for her. If they're divorced, it means he couldn't go on being married to her even for a day."Dominic sighed, his gaze dark. "Right now, if you want to get close to Jasper, Alyssa isn't the only obstacle. There's also that girl from the Harper f

    In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

    This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

    "Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

    Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

    As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

    When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

    Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

    Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's

    Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,
