Alyssa vowed to take revenge for Sean, Nina, and every single one of Sophia's victims.…Jasper lingered by the window at the end of the corridor. It was past midnight, but sleep eluded him. He stared out of the window, his eyes red.He had called Landon and asked him to meet up right away. After Landon had coaxed Lauren to sleep, he had instructed Angelina to watch over Lauren before rushing to meet with Jasper.With a cigarette between his lips, Landon suddenly remembered that he was at the hospital. He put the cigarette out impatiently. "Jasper, don't worry. I've reached out to the gangs, and they will do anything I ask them to. The attacker will lay low because the authorities are after him, but he doesn't have an escape route anymore. My men will secretly look for him in Solana City three times a day. His fate is sealed.""Thanks, bro." Jasper placed a hand on Landon's shoulder. "Have you told Lauren about Nina?"A troubled expression crossed Landon's face as he rubbed his

Sophia and Betty received news of the shooting incident and Nina's death. After learning that Alyssa and Sean were hospitalized and the police were searching for Jeffrey, they became frightened and anxious."Mom, w-what do we do? Ah—" Betty was cut off when Sophia glared at her and slapped her across her sweaty face.Betty stumbled, colliding with the coffee table. She winced in pain. For someone who never lifted a finger in her daily life, Sophia sure was fierce when punishing her own daughter.Betty's face swelled instantly. Clutching her cheek, she sobbed vehemently, casting resentful glares at Sophia through her messy locks."You good-for-nothing! Did I ever tell you to meddle in this affair? I asked you and Jeff to get rid of that maid, but I never wanted Alyssa dead!" Sophia hissed.Despite burning in rage, Sophia had to keep her voice low. She continued harshly reprimanding, "Don't you know Alyssa is Winston Taylor's beloved daughter? She's also Newton's favorite and the

Jeffrey added, "Think about it. You're married to Javier Beckett; you must be filthy rich. 200 million dollars to you is nothing to you. "According to my information, you've accumulated at least 500 million dollars in your offshore account in Randerland, a stash from years of corruption in Beckett Group's projects."Sophia was reminded of the wealth she had painstakingly amassed over the years through abuse of power and bribery.Her secret fortune could lead to a world of trouble if Jasper and Alyssa were to discover it. She might even have to serve a sentence unless Javier helped her. However, she didn't trust Javier anymore."Madam, you're not even 50 years old yet. You're sitting on a fortune. Don't you want to see your two daughters get married someday? Have you ever dreamed of meeting your grandchildren?"You're a pampered woman. I doubt you would last a day in a harsh environment in prison."Jeffrey was clearly threatening her. Sophia gritted her teeth and came to a diffic

Sophia had rushed out of Seaview Manor after a warrant had been issued for Jeffrey, and the timing seemed too coincidental. Jasper reckoned they might be able to track down Jeffrey by tailing Sophia.…Two days had passed. Jasper remained in the hospital. He stayed in the room next to Alyssa's. Not once did he disturb her. He merely observed her through the glass window on her door after she was sedated and went to sleep, admiring her pale but still beautiful face. He would delicately trace her features on the glass with his finger.He was content to offer her companionship. If anything, he worried that she might not want him around."Jasper," Axel called from the doorway of the smoking room.Jasper's fingers trembled. He turned around. Axel approached him and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him. "I'll have one."Jasper handed him a cigarette. Axel put it between his lips and motioned at Jasper to light it for him.Frowning, Jasper did as asked. He had never performed this
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 922
Axel stared at Jasper, dumbstruck. What the heck? What did Jasper just call him?Jasper pursed his lips and clenched his jaw as he fought the rising feeling of shame. He had never done anything sycophantic before in his entire life. Jasper considered the seemingly ordinary remark as his cringy attempt to curry favor with Axel.A heavy air of awkwardness hung between them.All of a sudden, Axel's ringtone shattered the uncomfortable silence. He answered, "What's up?""Mr. Axel, Jameson Schmidt wants to meet Ms. Alyssa. We've held him off as per your instructions," a bodyguard reported."Good work! I'll bump up your bonus later!""Thank you, Mr. Axel! You're incredibly generous. We'll keep watch by the door. He won't get through!"After ending the call, Axel grinned and said, "Hey, come with me.""Where to?" Jasper asked, perplexed."Since you've dubbed me your 'ex-brother-in-law', I'll have a little fun with Jameson for your entertainment. How does that sound?"…Just out
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 923
Axel's remark cut deep with its harsh and caustic tone. No one else in the Taylor family, apart from Alyssa and Axel, would speak in such a bold manner. The bodyguards couldn't contain their laughter, adding to Jameson's embarrassment.Jasper arched his brow as he observed Jameson's calm expression crumble. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't relishing this moment."I'm just here to visit Lyse. Axel, why the verbal attacks?" Jameson wondered out loud, his chest heaving with rage."Fine. But why did you threaten the guards with my dad's name?" Axel confronted him with disdain. "He's not your dad, and you're not a child. Don't you feel embarrassed to threaten to tell on the guards?"Jasper stood in stunned silence.Meanwhile, Jameson wore a scowl, his frozen smile betraying his discomfort.However, he quickly rebounded from the humiliation, thanks to his years of hardship in Kontina. Composing himself, he pleaded, "Axel, I'm just worried after getting the news about L

Axel couldn't have been referring to anyone else except for Amber Altman. What made Jameson more worried was that Axel had learned that there was a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Alyssa, and that she was by his side! "Did Axel spot me the night Amber went to the bar?" Jameson asked with a glint in his eyes.Carl replied, "You said that the bar wasn't up to your standards, so you didn't search for Ms. Altman there. He couldn't have seen you since you never left the car."An idea struck him. "Could your car have given you away? They might have traced your license plate back to Schmidt Group. If he found out about it, he might be trying to provoke and trick you into revealing the truth.""Let's go." Jameson seethed and turned around."Where are we going?""The Millenium."…Jasper and Axel reached the door to Alyssa's room. Jasper said to him with sincerity, "Thanks for that.""You're welcome. It's my reply to you calling me your ex-brother-in-law. Plus, I didn't do

Sean felt anxious upon hearing the threat. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He explained, "I'm worried about Ms. Alyssa. When I was in a coma, I repeatedly dreamed of the incident from that night. May I visit her?""She's fine now. The cut on her arm has healed. She doesn't have any other injuries, but she needs time to recover emotionally. She needs to be alone for a while," Axel replied, sighing.Upon being reminded of Alyssa's injury, Jasper felt overwhelmed by bitterness. In the year after their divorce, she had always gotten injured and never enjoyed much peace in her life.He blamed himself for being useless. Regardless of his willingness to sacrifice everything for her, he had repeatedly failed to protect her."I heard about Nina," Sean muttered, his heart breaking at the memory of the young lady who had taken a bullet for Alyssa. He inquired, "Has anyone tracked down that bastard yet?""It's only a matter of time. I'm monitoring Sophia and Betty's movements. Soph

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

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
