"Ms. Renee, you should know I'm your cousin's ex-husband." Jasper's profile was like a sharp blade, possessing a striking and awe-inspiring beauty.He finally took the initiative to talk to her, but it was about Alyssa."Yes, I know," Renee replied weakly."So, I think you should be mindful of your image. When Alyssa is around, it would be best if you refrain from appearing before me."However, Renee seemed to be under a spell. She misunderstood the meaning of his words. Blushing, she asked hesitantly, "Does that mean ... when she isn't around, I can—""I believe in other instances, the likelihood of our paths crossing is slim. That's why I didn't bother mentioning it. Don't read too much into it," Jasper coolly remarked, lifting his champagne and draining it in one go.Jasper's words left Renee feeling humiliated, as if she had been entirely dismissed.Over the years, she had been quite successful in the realm of love, with countless men pursuing her relentlessly. This was the

Two figures emerged from the lounge. They were Sophia's assistant and a maid. Alyssa hurriedly hid behind the pillar with Julien and peeked at them.The maid grumbled in a hushed voice, "What's wrong with Madam Sophia? She's been acting weird lately.""Right? She was fine when she arrived. But she suddenly felt cold and asked for a jacket. When I handed it to her, she scolded me for giving her a thick jacket because she felt hot," the assistant said, looking grumpy."That's not all. She's been alternating between feeling cold and hot, and her appetite has increased!" the maid added.She then checked her surroundings before cautiously whispering, "Once, I found her in the kitchen by the fridge past midnight, shoving cake in her face!""That's impossible! She doesn't take desserts to maintain her figure.""God knows? She kept stuffing her mouth with cake. I was so terrified to see that."Alyssa and Julien overheard the conversation and frowned at the same time.The maid inched cl

"Slowly, the worst side effects would show up," explained Tristan.Alyssa came to a realization. Tristan's explanation matches the accounts of the assistant and the maid.Tristan continued, "She deserved it. If you need me to, I can send her to the afterlife with one injection."The way he suggested the idea was heartless, as though life and death meant nothing much.Alyssa was speechless at Tristan's offer. He added fearlessly, "She is the one who abused the drugs in the first place. Besides, she signed an agreement and has to be partly responsible. Look, drug-related deaths are commonplace in our industry. "We will just treat it as another medical malpractice case. The worst punishment I would face is to have my license revoked and serve a two-year sentence.""There's no need to risk your future for a bitch like Sophia Kirkman. That would be a waste," Alyssa said with a sigh. "Tristan, I assure you that I will ensure your safety when you carry out my orders. This incident wi

Jasper fixed a resentful gaze on Renee, sending a shiver down her spine. Trembling, she held her breath and cautiously explained, "Mr. Beckett, I didn't mean to do anything to you. I was worried about your health."He pressed his hands on the arms of the chair to prop himself up. When he stood up, he instantly felt the world spinning around him. The burning desire had grown inside him and spread through every cell.Breathing heavily, he sweated all over. Renee couldn't help but swoon at his frail yet sexy look.Holding onto the wall, Jasper made his way out of the main hall with much difficulty. Renee wasn't about to give up and doggedly pursued him.Tonight was her chance, and she wouldn't let it slip away. If she successfully spent the night with Jasper, not even Alyssa or Zoe could stop her from marrying him.Standing in the empty corridor, she felt emboldened and threw herself at Jasper, which only validated Preston's description of her—shameless."Mr. Beckett, you can't even

"And who is she? Alyssa Taylor?" Renee demanded to know. Her competitiveness reared its head. Sweating anxiously, she pressed, "But I thought they were divorced! They wouldn't have divorced if they still had feelings for each other.""Pfft. What do you know?" Landon chuckled and looked away. "They might be divorced, but they are still interested in each other. You can never imagine the depth of Jasper's feelings for Lyse."Even if they are divorced, and even if she marries another, no one can ever replace her in Jasper's heart."Exhausted and unsteady, Renee watched them leave. After a while, she stomped indignantly and bellowed to the air, "I don't believe you! You liar! That's nonsense!"…Landon took Jasper into his car as soon as he could. On their way, he figured that Jasper wasn't drunk, just drugged.A question remained—when was he drugged? Recalling the waiter carrying a tray with glasses of champagne, Landon noted how Renee had randomly picked two glasses. How could

Upon hearing Landon's words, Alyssa's first guess was a PTSD episode."Text me Jasper's address. I'll be there soon," said Alyssa with a frown before hanging up.Meanwhile, Julien had just finished smoking a cigarette. When he was about to get into the car, the engine revved, and the doors were locked."Hey, open the door. I need to get in," Julien shouted and yanked on the handle."I have something to tend to. Please head home yourself," Alyssa said to him, staring forward and gripping the steering wheel."Are you serious? This is Belbanks, not Solana City! Where the heck can I go?" Julien snapped helplessly. "Send me home right now!""Call Jonah. Get him to pick you up."With that, Alyssa's black sports car whizzed past Julien.…Alyssa followed the address Landon provided and arrived at Jasper's private villa in no time. She stood at the entrance with mixed feelings—frustration, grievance, and bitterness.The private villa was one of Jasper's personal assets, the most live

Frowning, Alyssa pushed the door open impatiently. To her surprise, the door was unlocked.Always skeptical and wary, Alyssa had a bad omen as she cautiously entered the living room.The villa, though moderately huge, was smaller than her Solana City residence. Despite the difference, she felt at home and cozy compared to the more opulent yet sterile Seaview Manor.She was filled with frustration at the thought."Landon Harper, you there? Landon?" she called out but was met with silence.Growing increasingly worried, she hurried upstairs, checking every room.Finally, she entered the final room, which was more humid than the others. She picked up on the masculine scent in the air and concluded that this must be Jasper's bedroom.It was a familiarity fostered after two years of marriage. Separated by a slightly ajar door, she overheard his labored breathing from within. He seemed to be in pain.Her throat tightened when she called out to him. "Jasper?"She was surprised by the

When Alyssa met Jasper's eyes, her heart raced. She noticed the vulnerability and madness in his eyes, reminiscent of two years ago when he had made love to her all night. She found herself helplessly drawn to that look."Jasper, calm down! Let me g—Mmmph—" He silenced her with a kiss, his hot lips exploring hers passionately, leaving her breathless.She couldn't even breathe properly.Desperate to take her, he seemed driven to the brink of madness by his desire.Every day without her was pure suffering. He was just a zombie with no purpose in life.Alyssa started moaning with rapid breathing and flushed skin.Quivering underneath him, she fought him by pushing against his chest, but it screamed seduction to him.In fact, whenever she showed up, even in his dreams, she was irresistibly seductive and charming.She couldn't evade his kiss. Soon, their bodies intertwined. They kissed hard and sloppily, making sounds as they went for it.His callused hand with bulging veins caress

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

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
