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. I should buy

"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,

Sean opened the car door and stepped out from the passenger seat. Today, Jonah called him in for a temporary role, turning him back into the secretary of the CEO of KS Group. He dressed in a high-end, tailored gray suit, and his sharp gaze added an overwhelming charm to his already handsome appearance.Women in the vicinity admired him, but he didn't seem to care. He went to open the back door and gave a polite nod."Mr. Jonah, please."Jonah remained composed. His handsome features were devoid of any emotion. Exiting the car, he immediately elicited astonished reactions from the women nearby."Oh, my God! He's so handsome! He's going to be my dream material for tonight!""You're so greedy! You already have Mr. Beckett in your dreams, and now you want to add another one?""Is he really that handsome? I think he's not as good-looking as our Mr. Beckett.""You just don't get it! This guy has a totally different vibe than Mr. Beckett. Mr. Beckett is eye-catching with his hand

"Mr. Jonah, we appreciate your presence, but using force against Beckett Group's staff is inappropriate, both in terms of etiquette and reason, isn't it?"Ignoring his words, Jonah responded, "Is Jasper coming out, or should I go in?"Xavier's anger surged at Jonah's actions, and his expression darkened. "I'm sorry, Mr. Beckett is in a meeting and cannot meet with you. Please leave!"Ignoring Xavier, Jonah lifted the corner of his lips and advanced toward him. Xavier felt a little uneasy as he extended his arm to block Jonah.The next moment, Jonah made a move. Xavier couldn't even see what happened. His arm was twisted behind his back, and then he was forcefully thrown. Xavier fell to the ground, and his arms were dislocated. He endured the pain. Clenching his teeth and with a sweaty forehead, he could only watch as Jonah and Sean entered through the door.The atmosphere inside the conference room was solemn.Jasper occupied the head of the conference table with a king

Jonah took a few steps and stood in front of Jasper. He looked down on Jasper's pale face with contempt."Jasper, you truly deserve to die." The next moment, Jonah suddenly leaned forward, knocking Jasper off the chair! The two men fell heavily, and Sean exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Jonah! Be careful!" Jasper's back suffered a severe blow, and it felt as though his internal organs shook with it.Suddenly, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Jonah stared at him with a fierce gaze. He held a sharp cross-shaped dagger high, aiming at Jasper's pupils, as if about to deliver a cruel punishment.Sean panicked and shouted, "Mr. Jonah! Stop!" He comprehended Jonah's feelings entirely. He, too, shared his resentment toward Jasper for robbing Alyssa of her innocence.However, Jonah would be caught up in endless trouble if he harmed Jasper, and Alyssa would be plunged into deep self-blame! This was never the situation Alyssa wanted to see. Jonah should not soil his hands for su

Jonah and Sean left.However, the news of the CEO of KS Group's sudden visit to Beckett Group had rapidly spread throughout the building.Landon helped Jasper back to the office. Xavier also came along as he was unable to shake off his concerns. His arm was dislocated, and his clothes were covered with sweat out of pain, but he didn't utter a word.Landon noticed something was off and then realized Xavier was injured, too. He quickly arranged for someone to take Xavier to the hospital for treatment."Jonah normally appears gentle and refined. But when he goes berserk, damn ..." Landon sighed, finding no words to describe the horror."It's all for his sister. I understand him," Jasper said wearily. He sat on the sofa with his neck tilted back, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.If someone else had bullied Alyssa, he might have acted even more recklessly than Jonah.Thinking about Jonah's parting words, Jasper's breath hitched. He felt as though his blood froze in his

"Stupid! How can that woman be so stupid?" Jasper pondered."Lauren is a witness. Suppose you can't believe others; at least trust Lauren. I'm really surprised. How can you have no memories at all after being intimate with a woman? It's so bizarre!""I don't know. I really don't know ..."Jasper clutched his head. He felt a sharp pain in his heart."That day was the anniversary of my mother's death. I was in a bad mood and drank too much alcohol. Later, I would sometimes even dream of being intimate with Alyssa in bed. I thought it was just a dream. I really didn't expect that we had a night together.""I recall you were still involved with Liana two years ago. You explicitly stated that you intended to reconcile with Liana eventually. "You were convinced that you and Alyssa would end up divorcing because she held no significance in your heart. Doesn't it sound absurd now, Jasper? But those were your own words at the time, weren't they?"Jasper was emotionally shaken by Landon'

"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,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
