Chapter 863

Author: Ginger Sue
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 bee

    Alyssa was reminded of the past the moment she heard Javier had arrived. Knowing he had never been particularly fond of her, she rose to her feet. "Grandpa Newton, I'll step out for a while so you and your family can have some space."Jasper's gaze darkened, his heart skipping a beat. He was about to ask her to stay, but Newton beat him to it. Grabbing Alyssa's slightly cold hands, Newton pulled her back down beside him. "What nonsense are you spouting, Alyssa? You're not an outsider. If anything, you're closer to me than my own son. You're my most beloved granddaughter-in-law!"Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes. "Grandpa Newton…" Newton snorted. "Just be yourself, even in front of Jasper's father. Do as you please. You and I are family. As for him and me…. Hmph, that's another matter entirely."At that, Jasper's lips curved faintly. Moments later, Ben led Javier in, with Rory trailing behind. Javier was usually impeccably dressed, carrying himself with quiet authority. But today

    Upon hearing that, Jasper and Alyssa exchanged a knowing glance, a silent understanding passing between them. Newton caught the look they shared, and his heart swelled with a sweetness richer than honey. He nodded firmly. "I'm prepared. Truth be told… I've been waiting a long time for this day." "Grandpa, public outrage is growing. The authorities will likely bring Justin in for questioning within the next two days." Jasper took Newton's hand in his too, his expression turning resolute. "However, I can't hand over the evidence you gave me just yet. If I do, it may become harder to secure a conviction against Justin in the future. I plan to wait and see how things unfold before making a decision.""I've always trusted your judgment," Newton replied. "But remember to discuss everything with your wife before acting. Don't go at it alone. Alyssa is sharp and perceptive. She'll help you make better decisions and reduce the risks."Newton then took both their hands and placed Jasper'

    If the authorities ever obtained that recording, Javier would be dragged into a full-blown scandal even if no physical evidence remained. His reputation would be destroyed, Beckett Group would descend into chaos, and even Newton would be greatly affected. Beckett Group must never fall into Justin's hands. If he gained complete control, there was no telling how far into darkness he would steer it. "H-How did you get that recording?" Javier's voice trembled, his entire body shaking. Back then, Justin had been what—three? Four? How could he possibly have…"This was the only gift my dearest mother ever left me," Justin replied calmly. "Whether in life or death. She kept the voice recorder locked in a safe, deep within her wardrobe. The passcode is a combination of your birthdate and mine."He gave a soft click of his tongue, shaking his head. There was no grief in his eyes, only cold disdain for Caroline. She had been foolish enough to let a grand, blind love be her undoing. "My

    Javier stood rooted to the spot, his face drained of all color. It was as though lightning had struck him; as if his soul was wrenched from his body, his blood turning to ice. All strength to resist Justin vanished in an instant. Since childhood, Newton had always favored his second son, Chester, over Javier. Chester was dependable, kind-hearted, generous, and highly capable. Javier, as the eldest, was no less competent. Yet as the years passed and both brothers grew into adulthood, their differences became increasingly apparent—especially after they began taking over the family business. Newton never held back in praising Chester. In fact, he even started considering entrusting key projects at Beckett Group to him. Though Javier never voiced his discontent, resentment quietly festered beneath the surface. As the eldest son, he had always believed that inheriting the Beckett family legacy—and Beckett Group—was his rightful future. But Chester's very existence became a constan

    "I'll accompany you to the police station tomorrow so you can turn yourself in." Javier drew a deep breath, his voice heavy with finality. "It is a father's failure when his child goes astray. As your father, I fell short. "When you were young, I was too focused on advancing my career. Work consumed me, and I neglected to give you the love and care you needed. I indulged you, and that indulgence led to this mistake. I must bear responsibility too. "So I'll face this with you. You were only a teenager when the crime was committed—a minor. I'll hire the best attorney in the country and do everything I can to secure leniency for you."Eden was the first to erupt. "Mr. Javier, don't you think this is incredibly unfair to Mr. Justin? Do you know how much he's been through to get where he is today? He lived alone in a foreign country. No one cared about him, and his health was never good. "Now that he's finally built something for himself, how can you be so cruel as to take it all awa

    Javier's eyes widened in shock. Though the spacious study was well-heated, a chilling cold spread through his entire body. "Justin… w-what do you mean by that? Did you actually take someone's life? Did you really kill that young woman?" "Shh—"Justin lifted a finger to his lips, a cruel glint flashing in his dark eyes. "She was just an insignificant helper. Nothing worth making a fuss over, is it?"Eden, standing behind him, remained silent. Meanwhile, Rory's face had turned deathly pale. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, soaking through his sleeves and collar. Just how twisted did a person have to be to speak of murder with such indifference?"An insignificant helper? That was a human life!"Javier glared at the man before him, his eyes bloodshot. A massive wave of terror crashed over him. "Why did you kill her? Why?""Because it was fun." Justin tilted his head and gave a careless shrug. "Of course, I was a little nervous the first time I stabbed her. But by the second stri

    Winston's voice boomed through the hall. "Even if you lack business acumen, Mr. Schmidt, a little observation goes a long way at your age. Can't you tell my daughter and Mr. Jasper are ride-or-die with Landon?"Jameson was caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events. He remained silent, his fac

    Amber remarked flatly, "That sounded so pervy."Axel's expression collapsed. He argued, "I was a brother who doted on his sister! You just don't get it!"He took care of Alyssa for another reason. Before their mother passed away, she called the four siblings to her bed and reminded the brothers to tak
