Chapter 937

Author: Ginger Sue
"Alright, it's just a small injury. Don't worry—Ah!"

Alyssa's vision blurred for a moment as Jasper lifted her up around the waist. Instinctively, she pressed against his chest.

"I'll take you to your room. You have a first aid kit at home, right? I'll help you bandage it." Jasper stared intently at her as he carried her and headed upstairs.

"I don't need you to do it. I'm a professional surgeon. I can bandage it myself."

Alyssa clenched her hand into a fist as she pounded on his chest. Yet she dared not to use too much force, so it was more like scratching an itch.

"Besides, I hurt my arm, not my leg. What's the use of carrying me? I can walk by myself!"

"I know, but I want to carry you." Jasper spoke his mind.

Alyssa's fist pressed against his solid chest, her breathing erratic. She even forgot to resist. A rosy blush colored her cheeks.

Jasper carried Alyssa into her bedroom.

To his surprise, her room was unexpectedly simple. Although the decor was luxurious, with top-no

    It wasn't a heavy slap. Compared to before, Jasper could treat this as a gentle caress from Alyssa. The thought made him smile.Meanwhile, Alyssa wondered what was wrong with the bastard. Had he no shame?"W-Why are you taking my clothes off?" Alyssa asked, wrapping her arms around her chest as she blushed unknowingly.Jasper gazed tenderly at her. "I'm tending to your wound."What an outrageous reason! Jasper was really getting worse by the day!"You … you could have waited until I was dressed in something more suitable or cut my sleeve off right away. Why did you have to strip my shirt off?" Alyssa's face was flushed red as she glared at Jasper.Even her chest had a pink flush on it now. "How shameless can you be?""We used to be married, Alyssa. We've slept together both during marriage and after the divorce," Jasper replied.Alyssa's breath hitched for a moment. Her lips pulled taut as she recalled how Jasper had begged her to satiate him that night. The feeling of his wa

    What Jasper would give to devour Alyssa whole. That way, she would always be a part of him and could never escape."Jas—mmh—" Alyssa's words were muffled as Jasper ravaged her lips. Her eyes were moist, whether from grievance or from being overwhelmed by the kiss.Jasper wasn't going to let her go that easily. Their night was surely going to be a sleepless one.He was able to skirt his hand around her injury and gently remove the final shred of clothing on her body.With it, Alyssa's defenses crumpled. Her body softened under his touch in an instant."I'll … I'll be gentle this time, Lyse. Can you trust me, please?" Jasper murmured.Alyssa closed her eyes as she moaned softly. Jasper took that as a 'yes'.The temperature in the room increased as their passion was unleashed.Jasper kissed Alyssa again, no longer restraining himself, though he was gentle.He had improved since last time. Alyssa didn't feel any pain anymore. Instead, she felt pure waves of pleasure that made her

    Hot air blasted out of the pan. Jasper wiped away the sweat on his face and sighed. "Dammit. Burnt again."Only then did Alyssa see the countless burnt eggs in the trash bin beside the stove."Pft. The heat is too high, silly. You'd go through an entire chicken farm without succeeding at this rate," she teased.Jasper's heart skipped a beat as he turned around, meeting Alyssa's eyes."Did I … wake you?" he asked nervously."No, my biological clock did. I don't have a habit of sleeping in," Alyssa replied. She then pointed at the trash bin beside him, teasing, "You're lucky Sean isn't around to see this. He hates it when people waste food. If he had been here, he would have made you scoop everything back out and eat it.""I would be fine with that. I never wasted food during my time in the army," Jasper replied lightly.It wouldn't be a first for him.Alyssa knew how serious Jasper could be at times and that he was indeed capable of doing something like that. She hurriedly wav

    Jasper didn't pursue the matter. All he could think about was how guilty he felt about Alyssa's allergy."Don't cook. I'll get Xavier to buy us breakfast or cook something for us himself. His cooking may not be as good as Sean's, but it'll do," Jasper said.He noticed that Alyssa was barefoot and frowned before lifting her up into his arms."Ah! What are you doing?" Alyssa hurriedly clung onto his shoulders."Don't you know to take better care of yourself? How could you walk barefoot here? The floor is so cold," Jasper said.He set Alyssa down on the table and knelt down before her. He then cupped one of Alyssa's feet in his hands.Jasper's familiar warmth seeped into her skin, heating her up and making her narrow her eyes lightly in pleasure. She didn't want to reveal it too much, though."Rosie told me it's important for women to keep their feet warm, or else they get sick when they're old." Jasper gazed lovingly at Alyssa. "Don't walk barefoot anymore.""I was worried, so

    Despite Alyssa's objections, Jasper walked to the entrance and opened the door. "Mr. Beckett?"Jasper appeared in front of Xavier, carrying Alyssa bridal style in his arms. The two of them also looked unkempt, as if they had just woken up. Oh my god … oh my god!Xavier's jaw dropped. He saw them in a completely different light. His imagination ran wild, and his face turned red.Did this mean that his dream couple had finally reunited? Could he finally die in peace now? "Put me down, Jasper!" Alyssa cried out in his ear. She felt so awkward that she wanted to dig a hole for herself. "Can he come in, Ms. Alyssa?" Jasper asked her in a soft, gentle voice while fixing his gaze on her. Alyssa was completely subdued in front of Xavier. She stared at Jasper angrily, but could only nod. "Ah, can I come in too, then?" Both Jasper's and Alyssa's eyes widened at the sound of a familiar voice. To their surprise, Landon appeared from behind Xavier! He narrowed his sharp eyes as h

    Xavier gave Alyssa two thumbs-up. "You're brilliant, Madam!" he praised. Jasper's lips curled upward. He was extremely pleased to hear that salutation. Alyssa was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time. But she was even more curious about what happened next. She pressed him on, saying, "Go on!" "Then, I went through hoops to find out that Sophia has a secret account at Randerland Bank. I'm not sure how much money she has in there. "But I was able to find out the sum that she was transferring from that account to Solana Bank. It was exactly 200 million dollars!" Landon raised his brows. He couldn't help but mock, "200 million dollars? Wow, that bitch really stole a fortune for herself." Jasper's gaze turned cold. "That must be the money that Jeffrey demanded from her. It must be the money for him to escape and keep silent," Jasper sniggered. "But what was more shocking to me was how Sophia could withdraw the ginormous sum of 200 million dollars so easily. Plus, it was wi

    It was as if Alyssa and Jasper had read each other's minds. They both cried out simultaneously, "An eye for an eye. She needs to be sentenced to death!" "That's right! The death penalty!" Xavier nodded in agreement. His face was red with anger. "Heck, I just can't understand why Mr. Javier fell in love with Sophia! She's got neither compassion nor beauty. Mr. Beckett Senior is a wise man, yet he has such a foolish son!"Landon clenched his fists in anger. His eyes were burning with rage. "What must we do in order for Javier to give up on that bitch completely?""Only if Mr. Javier found out about Sophia's affair and her bastard child." Xavier added smoothly, "Reputation is of utmost importance to someone of a high status, just like Mr. Javier. If he finds out that his partner has been cheating on him, I'm sure that he will no longer be on her side!"How much of a sore loser would he be if he were to tolerate such a thing?" Alyssa chimed in, "Yeah. She cheated on him, and i

    Since Sophia's 200 million dollars were deposited in Randerland Bank, that indicated that the money in that account was dirty money from her corrupt acts. Her ability to withdraw 200 million dollars as she wished suggested that the sum she had embezzled was astronomical. It was probably money she reaped from various sources within Beckett Group. Other than that, she must have also used her status as the chairman's wife to receive bribes. "Xavier, has Sophia already transferred the money to Jeffrey?" Jasper asked softly, with a glint in his eyes. "She has." "Has he withdrawn the money?" "Not yet. It's such a large sum of money. He would probably need a dump truck to fit all that money. It would be too obvious if he transported the cash. He still needs to make a getaway." Jasper nodded slightly and said, "Right. Then, you should call the cops right now. Have them freeze Jeffrey's account." "On it, Mr. Beckett." Xavier got up to get it done immediately. Indeed, it would

    Searching for Amber without direction would be pointless. Jasper made a swift decision to bring Alyssa back to the manor, shielding her from the relentless chill of the wind. Once inside, he immediately began organizing the search. He deployed his men and contacted Landon, requesting additional support.The two of them sat together on the couch.This time, there was no space between them. It was as though an invisible force drew them closer, their proximity feeling natural yet electric. Neither could say who had moved first.Alyssa, however, was in no mood to dwell on their closeness. Wrapped in her down jacket, she curled up on the couch, her arms hugging herself tightly. A quiet frostiness emanated from her as she sat in silence, listening to Jasper's calm and methodical calls to mobilize his team.In the past, his composed presence would have been enough to ease her mind. But now, her thoughts were a tangled mess, each one like a razor claw tearing at her heart. The pain was u

    "Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her." Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?" "There wasn't one." Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze."You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face."Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!" Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away. Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face. She was teetering on the edge of madness."Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"…Jasper drove to

    Jasper strode out of the room and hurried down the stairs, his pace so brisk that Xavier had to jog to keep up. As Jasper reached the living room, he spotted Justin sitting upright in his wheelchair, alone. Their eyes locked when Jasper was just a few steps away.Hostility flickered between their gazes.Curling his lips upward into a slight smile, Justin asked, "Jasper, heading out at this hour?"Xavier gritted his teeth, loathing the self-righteous air Justin exuded, as if he always held the upper hand. The sight made him want to charge forward and knock Justin clean off his wheelchair."It's late. Why aren't you in bed?" Jasper asked coldly, his tone as sharp as his glare. "It seems that broken body of yours is still holding up.""Jasper, you seem to be in a rush. Did something happen? Do you need my help?" Justin maintained the smile on his face, disregarding Jasper's sarcastic remark. "It's none of your business."Without another word, Jasper swept past him. Justin's

    Jasper lay restrained on the bed, his body writhing violently as waves of agony crashed over him. A towel clenched between his teeth muffled his cries, though it could not silence the torment. Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of invisible ants—a relentless, gnawing pain brought on by withdrawal.He knew he could no longer rely on the medication. Time and again, the temptation clawed at him, urging him to surrender and take the easy way out. Relief was just a pill away. But Jasper's willpower, though battered, refused to shatter. Anne's words echoed in his mind, a guiding light in the darkness. She had always taught him to be a righteous man—one with a clear conscience. Curling into himself, Jasper shut his bloodshot eyes. He couldn't disappoint Anne. He couldn't let down those who believed in him. He had to resist the dark side. Outside the room, Xavier glanced at his wristwatch. Judging the timing to be right, he pushed the door open and l

    "How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you.
