"Haha! Hasn't anyone warned you about ripping your pants if you're not careful? You should be mindful of your own limits!" Axel burst into laughter on the spot.It had been a very long time since he was able to laugh so heartily. After all, the atmosphere at the secret spy headquarters was always very tense and serious.Jonah's expression softened as he watched his younger brothers mess around. At that moment, he couldn't help but reminisce about the past. "Speaking of gifts, look at what I got Lyse."Axel's eyes glinted mischievously as he showed the others a silver rectangular box while looking excited. After punching in a complex passcode, Axel opened the box and revealed the contents for all to see. Jonah froze up while Silas inhaled sharply in return."The R&D department in the headquarters created this gun recently. There's a mix of ammo and tranquilizers in this revolver. Lyse can spin the cylinder to the left if she is in danger. The tranquilizers are more than enough t
Alyssa ended up staying at Stellus for the next three days.She barely slept as she wanted to craft the perfect emerald bracelet, the exact replica of the one Newton had given her. If she got tired, she'd nap in the workshop. Once she woke up, she'd take a few bites of food before continuing work.The other men worked their respective jobs during the day. They turned down all business and social invitations just to have dinner with their sister at night.Jonah and his brothers prepared a fancy dinner that night. It consisted of Alyssa's favorite dishes. Still, she played with her food moodily while propping her cheek with a hand. The men were anxious about Alyssa's current state. But they didn't know how to help her out.They knew nothing about jewelry, after all."Ms. Alyssa." Alyssa snapped out of her thoughts before turning to look at Don wearily.The latter placed a beautiful jewelry box in front of her."What's this, Uncle Don?" "Why don't you open it and find out for y
"I told him not to contact you ever again. Also, I was quite mean to him. I wonder what he was thinking back then.""Good job. I won't let a filthy bastard like him into my life ever again. After all, I'm the beloved sister of the KS Group's president.""Of course. All the men in the KS Group worship the very ground you walk on." Jonah smiled lovingly while patting his younger sister. "Jonah, give me your phone," Alyssa said.Jonah handed his phone over to her. He looked confused. "Your birthday's the passcode.""Got it."Alyssa tapped on the contact list and blocked Jasper's phone number."How brutal." A small smile appeared on Jonah's face."I gotta end things once and for all with him. That bastard won't learn his lesson if I don't take the extreme approach." Alyssa's gaze grew icy the moment she brought up her ex-husband. …It was safe to say that Jasper could barely eat or sleep over the past few days. All because of his ex-wife's disappearance. Ever since Alice we
Some hotel guests started crowding in the lobby to watch the drama."Ms. Beckett, please calm down. You'll ruin your reputation if you keep causing trouble here. Why don't we discuss this matter in the parlor?"The front desk manager was so nervous that he kept sweating profusely. At the same time, he did his best to convince Betty to calm down. "If your employee has the guts to steal from a VIP like me, doesn't that mean she'll do worse things to the other guests?" Betty slammed a hand on the marble counter. Then, she placed her other hand on her hip. She kept glaring at the manager furiously the whole time. The crowd exchanged looks with each other. Some of them obviously recognized Betty.They knew that she was a daughter of the Beckett family. But if they didn't look at her face, they would have thought it was a shrew causing trouble for the hotel."I-I didn't steal anything!" the housekeeper stammered timidly with her head bowed."How dare you talk back to me!"Betty j
Jasper felt that he treated Alice very well other than the fact that he didn't love her. When she was still living at Seaview Manor, she enjoyed all the luxuries money could give. The housekeepers there served Alice well, and no one caused her any trouble.Heck, Jasper even gave her a supplementary credit card. He was never one to skimp out on money, after all. Alice never used that card in her purchases over the past three years. Still, her life as the Beckett family's young madam was much better than her life as a medical aide in the nursing home.How dare Alice say such things in public! She made it sound like she had gone through many hardships and torment!The more Jasper thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes started to become bloodshot as he gritted his teeth tightly. "Tch! You sure are stubborn, huh? Since you're the manager of this hotel, I'll be straightforward. Your hotel needs to provide me with a solution regarding this incident today."Betty continued
Everyone was shocked when they heard the statement.Betty and her friends dropped their jaws in astonishment as well. Sean showed the necklace to Betty. A cold expression was apparent on his handsome face."Ms. Beckett, take a look at this necklace. Is it the one you lost?""W-Well …"Betty accepted the necklace and studied it. Then, she started shrieking at the top of her lungs. "Ah! My poor necklace! What happened to it? Who ruined my necklace?"Everyone stared at the necklace. Soon, they realized that the necklace was broken into a few segments."Our manager ordered us to search every inch of the presidential suite the moment she received news of your missing necklace. In the end, we found it under the couch."The thing is, your necklace was already ruined when we found it. We don't know what happened to it as well," Sean explained coolly."See? I told you she's just causing a fuss over nothing! She didn't remember where she had left the damn thing! That's why she was just
Jasper and Alyssa made eye contact with each other, And everyone went silent. It was as though time had been frozen for a moment. "That's Mr. Beckett! It really is him!" Someone quickly recognized Jasper. "J-Jasper!" Betty didn't expect to see him there. Naturally, she felt anxious.Deep down, she was still scared of Jasper. Even though Sophia kept referring to him as the bastard son of the Beckett family, he was still in charge of the Beckett Group."Xavier, take Betty away. Hurry up," Jasper ordered stonily.Some people were recording and taking photos of the whole incident quietly. If Jasper were to drag the matter out any longer, the Beckett Group's reputation would be at risk. All thanks to Betty's actions. Xavier quickly dragged Betty out of the lobby without wasting any time.Alyssa chuckled coldly on the inside before averting her icy gaze.That was Jasper's true form. He was cold and emotionless, just like a robot.He could care less about the victim and culprit in
Alyssa's gaze hardened immediately. She looked very distant all of a sudden. "It seems that Ms. Gardner spoiled you a lot. You're a lot more shameless than before." "Don't drag other people into our problems!" Jasper snapped angrily. "Stay away from me if you don't want me to insult you! I want nothing to do with you, Mr. Beckett! You may contact me only when it's time to finalize our legal divorce! Goodbye!" Jasper was used to Alice looking at him lovingly over the past three years. Her eyes tended to sparkle happily whenever she saw her. Now, her eyes held nothing but coldness and contempt. It made him feel awful."I won't let you leave!"Alyssa started laughing. "Am I supposed to stay just because you said so? What, do you think I'm your pet dog? Must I follow your every order?" "There's no need for you to say such harsh things. You know very well that's not what I meant." Jasper frowned in displeasure."Harsh things? Haha! You really are dense, aren't you? Can't you te
