Chapter 873

Aвтор: Ginger Sue
Jonah swung open the car door and wedged himself into Alyssa's car, scanning for any fractures on her arms and legs.

"I'm fine. I'm fine, Jonah," she mumbled, tears welling in her eyes and her face drained of color.

Jonah stared at her in shock, knowing something grave must have happened. Knowing Alyssa, she wasn't one to cry. After all, she had worked on a battlefield. She wouldn't be fazed by a car crash.

Whatever had happened must have been serious.

"Looks like some minor injuries on the skin, but we need to get you to the hospital for a checkup and a CT scan for any concussions," Julien suggested sternly, a departure from his usual cheeky demeanor.

Frowning, Jonah gently lifted Alyssa in his arms and settled her into his Rolls-Royce.

Sean arrived at that moment, his expression filled with concern as he saw Alyssa in Jonah's arms. He gasped, "Ms. Alyssa, are you alright?"

"Sean, take care of the car crash. I'm bringing her to the hospital," Jonah instructed Sean before slippi

    Cornelius had roped Landon into a meeting at the Harper Group building. However, midway through the discussion, Landon's phone rang with urgency—it was Jasper, insisting on an immediate meetup at Jasper's villa by Phoenix Lake.Due to the urgent nature of Jasper's call, Landon left the meeting under everyone's scrutiny and raced to the villa."What the hell?" Before entering the villa, Landon observed a plume of smoke on top of the structure like an impending volcanic explosion. Turning pale, he hurried into the villa and found Jasper burning stuff in the backyard.Standing by a metal container, Jasper appeared pale and troubled. He bathed in the glow of the flames in the container, resembling a solitary statue amid the remnants of a war.Alarmed by the chaotic scene, Landon approached him. "Jasper, what's going on? What are you burning?"When Landon spoke, Jasper tossed another item into the fire. Landon took a good look and realized it was a photo of Jasper with Liana.Jasper q

    "Jasper!" screamed Landon, who tried to help Jasper up from the ground. "What's wrong? Why are you trembling like crazy? Is it cold for you? Jasper?""Landon, do you know that …" Jasper clenched his fists with a broken look in his teary eyes. "... the most hurtful thing for Alyssa is the memories of me and Liana hurting her. I knew it was over between me and Alyssa when she saw the photos of me and Liana. We're done.""Who said it was over?" Landon yelped, feeling sorry for Jasper, who was suffering from a heartbreak.He blamed himself, "This is all my fault! You are so busy, not to mention you're still sick. You don't have the time to dispose of the villa at all. It's my fucking fault! I'll go to Lyse right now and clear things up!"Jasper stopped him and shook his head with a bitter smile. "It all started because of me. What's the point of explaining it to her? That will not change the fact that I've hurt her in the past.""Jasper," Landon gasped as he fought back tears.No one

    "Landon!" Lauren threw herself into Landon's arms when he came home. She wrapped her limbs around him like an adorable koala."It's 'darling,'" Landon gently corrected her.Blushing, she obediently called out to him, "Darling.""That's right. Darling, I'll give you a kiss," he replied and gave her a loud kiss on the lips while touching her backside with a hand.After a cozy cuddle in the living room, Landon led Lauren to the bedroom, where he began to undress her and led her to the bath.She wrapped her arms around his neck and protested, "I'll bathe on my own.""How tiring is that? I'll give you a hand," he teased her with a cheeky grin."Don't. It's tiring to take a bath with you because you'll be all over me.""Hm, don't you like that?" Landon raised a brow playfully."I like it," Lauren admitted, her blush deepening.Landon, who was so exhausted that he couldn't keep his eyes open, felt invigorated and aroused upon seeing his lovely partner.Soaking in the hot bath, he

    Lauren suddenly commented, "Alyssa slept with Jasper before."Landon, caught by surprise, stared at her in bewilderment. "What do you mean?"Lauren bit her lips and whispered with a frown, "It happened about two years ago. One night, I wandered around my home because I couldn't sleep. "I saw Alyssa entering Jasper's bedroom. At that time, Jasper didn't like her much, and they rarely shared a bed. Most of the time, they slept in separate rooms."Alyssa suffered a lot in the three years she was married to Jasper. I could tell that she loved him, but she didn't dare to get closer to him. She could only stay by his side quietly. At night, when Jasper was not home, she would lie in his bed, wear his shirt, and use his cologne, but he never found out about that."She loved him very much. She was willing to humble herself for him. I felt sorry for her."Even Landon sympathized with poor Alyssa, who had given her heart to Jasper. A farewell wasn't the most painful thing in love—an unreq

    Alyssa was admitted to a VIP room at Taylor General Hospital. Connected to an IV, she felt utterly drained but far from drowsy.Jonah sat beside her, carefully tending to the wound on her ankle while resting her leg on his knee. Alyssa, finally sensing the pain, frowned in silence.Jonah inquired, "Lyse, you weren't at your place in Solana City last night. You didn't come home to Belbanks either. Where did you go?"His hand trembled slightly as he spoke. Detecting her silence, he pondered, "Were you with Jasper?"Jonah always approached the topic of Jasper cautiously, knowing it was a sensitive spot for Alyssa. He added, "Julien mentioned you brought him to meet Jasper, but it didn't go well. He also mentioned you received a call and left. Did you meet Jasper afterward?"Alyssa finally cast him a hollow glance and croaked, "Jonah, I hate myself. I feel so shameless …""Silly thing. What are you talking about? You should have self-esteem," Jonah replied, his heart bleeding for Aly

    The Taylor siblings were all present out of concern for Alyssa. Liam was the only one absent, being in the military."Jonah, why did Lyse have an accident out of the blue?" Tatiana gasped, tears brimming in her eyes.Feeling bad, Sean wanted to hug Tatiana, but he knew his place as a secretary. It would be inappropriate to do so in front of the other Taylor siblings.He brushed away his thoughts, but his passionate gaze lingered on Tatiana.Perhaps a man of his standing was only good enough to stand guard for Tatiana."Right, Jonah. Lyse is an excellent driver. Her skills are as good as mine. There's no reason she'd ram into someone's car. By right, she would have been the one who speeds on the roads," Axel said in confusion.On Axel's way to the hospital, he was gravely concerned by Alyssa's condition, which was rare for someone who had never flinched at the gunpoint of criminals on his missions.Huddled in the corridor, Silas and Cyrus cast worried glances at Jonah. The air wa

    Despite the dim environment, Julien noticed the anger and tears in Jonah's eyes. It was a shock to him.Jonah was oblivious to his allure at that moment. Julien was deeply attracted to the pain and vulnerability underneath Jonah's tough exterior.Jonah collected himself and fixed his gaze on Julien. "What's the matter?"Squinting, Julien approached Jonah slowly. Their eyes met, and their breaths intermingled.Suddenly, Julien reached out and gently caressed the corner of Jonah's eye. Jonah's heart raced, and his breathing grew heavy."I know you feel bad for your sister. I understand your feeling," Julien whispered into Jonah's ear. "But promise me, don't do anything rash. You wouldn't want to worry your princess, right? I'll be worried about you, too."Jonah's ears turned red. Some unknown emotions stirred within.Julien straightened his back and put on an impish smile once more. "I won't ask for a ride because you're busy. Looks like I can't go home anytime soon.

    "You were by Jasper's side throughout their three years of marriage. You knew what he had done to Alyssa, and he has to make amends to her as long as he's alive," Landon reminded Xavier.Xavier felt a stab in his heart when he recalled Alyssa's helplessness when she was living with the Becketts. Despite that, she remained a loyal and loving wife to Jasper.Tears rolled down Xavier's cheeks as he lamented Jasper's suffering. However, he knew that Alyssa had suffered a lot of heartache as well. …Xavier didn't want Jasper to wake up and have no one by his side, so he crashed on Jasper's couch that night without changing.He woke up the next morning without an alarm and reflexively looked in Jasper's direction. He was shocked to find the bed empty. Where did Jasper go?"Mr. Beckett? Mr. Beckett?" Xavier shot up from the couch and panickedly looked around the room for Jasper.He found Jasper all dressed up and marching out of the bathroom. Jasper was dressed in a three-piece suit,

    That said, this strategy came with its own risks. It was as if Jasper and Axel were placing all their bets on Remy for the time being."Justin doesn't control someone without a reason. Since he has control over Remy, he will make full use of him."Jasper's chest tightened, a weight pressing down on him like a massive rock. He continued, "The only way to find Amber is to understand Justin's intentions clearly."…The press conference was scheduled for 5:00 pm at Berenike Hotel's Conference Hall A on Saturday. At 3:00 pm sharp, Justin sat in the president's office at Beckett Group, his expression frigid. He sat upright on the couch while Sheryl, standing beside him, carefully tended to the wound on his left ear, changing its dressing with caution. It had been only two days since he was shot in the ear. His flesh had been stitched up, and the stitches looked like a grotesque centipede crawling along his ear. There was no way to conceal the injury unless he donned a shoulder-lengt

    "Remy beat Sheryl up?" Jasper repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. Having wiped away his tears, Axel leaned in to listen to the phone call."Yeah! I saw it with my own eyes in the surveillance footage. He punched her—brutally!" Xavier's voice was filled with astonishment. He exhaled sharply before continuing, "I thought they were a close-knit group. Looks like even they have internal conflicts!"After a brief pause, he ventured, "Mr. Beckett, do you think we could use this as a breakthrough? Maybe Remy has been at odds with Sheryl for a while, and he's tired of working under Justin. Perhaps all he needs is a little push to turn against them. After all, didn't Ms. Altman join us because she hated everything Jameson did?"Jasper didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he spoke quietly, "It's a clever thought, but it's still uncertain. We don't really know Remy's intentions. Our interactions with him have been few, and they've always been risky confrontations. I don't know what he

    "Didn't you say you had no idea what I was talking about? In that case, this ear is useless to you. You're already a crippled man anyway. You might as well be deaf too." Axel's hands trembled with restrained rage. The temptation to end Justin's life surged through him—he wanted to pull the trigger, to rip him apart limb by limb. But he had made a promise to Jasper—no lives would be taken. A promise was a promise."I will rescue my wife. But you'll lose more than just an ear if I fail." Axel seized Justin by the hair, his reddened eyes brimming with tears. His voice cracked with fury and anguish. "I will make you suffer a thousand times the pain Amber has endured."Without warning, he released Justin and stormed out."S-Sir! I will get someone to take you to the hospital right away!" Sheryl crawled to Justin's side, panic-stricken as her eyes fell on the pool of blood spreading across the floor. Her trembling hands fumbled with her phone, unable to keep a firm grip as she scrambl

    "Sir!" Sheryl shouted. She was just about to get to Justin's side when two shots were fired near her feet. Screaming, she dropped to her knees, threw her arms over her head, and scurried under the table like a terrified animal.The air in the room grew heavy with menace.Justin, known as the devil of the night, was a man who thrived on chaos. His power and influence stretched across continents, and he'd faced countless threats without flinching.But as his visitor approached, an unfamiliar dread coiled in his chest. His hands gripped the couch's armrests so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The terror was suffocating."Get out, all of you," the man commanded, his voice cold and sharp.The man remained fixated solely on Justin while Justin's guests fled in terror. "Help! Somebody!" Sheryl screamed, her voice muffled as she cowered under the table.No help would come. Outside, the others were either unconscious or dead.A deafening bang shattered the silence. The man fir

    "I will take it if my condition flares up," Remy said, his voice devoid of emotion as he stared blankly at the bottle in his hand. With a feigned smile, Sheryl replied, "Sir instructed me to ensure you took the pill."A chill ran down Remy's spine. Knitting his brows together, he questioned, "But why?" "This is Sir's order. Why are you questioning it?" Sheryl's smirk turned cold and mocking. "What, are you afraid Sir has ill intentions toward you? Have you lost your trust in him?"Remy held his breath. "No, that's not it." "Remy, swore before Sir to serve him loyally for the rest of your life. You pledged to give him your very being. You haven't forgotten that, have you?" Tilting her chin slightly upward, Sheryl shot him a frosty sidelong glance. "Even if Sir fed you poison, shouldn't you take it without hesitation? Why are you hesitating? Don't disappoint Sir."The suffocating pressure in Remy's chest intensified. It felt as though someone had a rifle trained on him, forcin

    Hell on Earth? This place resembled a decrepit hospital. But why had Sheryl described it as "hell on Earth"?Amber's body convulsed uncontrollably, her consciousness flickering between clarity and haze. Fragments of memory surfaced—a dim recollection of drinking with Carl in the cellar after The Millennium's closure. She'd despised working with Carl but had cozied up to him for the sake of extracting information.Carl had revealed that "Sir" was deeply entrenched in the pharmaceutical industry. With connections to Mosgravia's government officials and elite circles, "Sir" wielded considerable power and ran a thriving business. Since his business revolved around pharmaceuticals, clinical trials were inevitable. To facilitate this, Sir owned a private hospital in Mosgravia.That hospital, however, was merely a façade. Beneath its sterile exterior, three basement levels housed patients—unwilling subjects for experimental drugs.Amber shivered. This place bore an uncanny resemblance t

    "Amber will be fine," Jasper said confidently. "Based on Justin's way of doing things, he won't harm her for now. She's still useful t o him. He'll exploit her to control you and Alyssa, and to keep me from taking him down."Gripping Jasper's arm, Axel pleaded, "Jasper, I have to save my wife… What should I do?" His eyes were red, brimming with unshed tears.Steadying his breath, Jasper replied, "Even if it comes to killing Justin, it shouldn't be your hands that get dirty. I'll do it.""Are you kidding me? If we're taking that bastard down, we do it together!" Axel's expression was fierce and unyielding. "We went through the same military academy. We have to fight side by side!""Justin is my older brother. It's my family's matter to handle. And don't think I'm doing this for your sake—I have my own reasons."After a moment of silence, Jasper's voice softened. "I came to see you today for another reason. When you get home, don't blame Lyse. She's been torturing herself with g

    When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based. Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness. A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray."Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest—you won't find her no matter ho

    Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent. "Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly."Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much. As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore."I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!" With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone. "Ambs…"Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device. Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on. "What's the password?" Jasper asked g
