Chapter 950

Author: Ginger Sue
Mandy couldn't stop worrying. She said, "Jonah, you must come with us. No matter what happens, we have to do everything we can to protect Lyse. We can't let her be harassed by anyone!"

"Of course. Thank you for letting me know, Mandy."

After Jonah left the study, Mandy entered the room.

"What happened earlier, Julien? Did you and Jonah have an argument?"

Julien bent down to pick up the books that had fallen onto the floor, one by one. He had his back against Mandy.

"No, we didn't. It was nothing," he said in a dejected voice.

"Don't lie to me. I could hear all the commotion from outside. I just wasn't able to hear what you were both talking about."

Mandy looked at him angrily and criticized him. "Jonah is such a well-tempered person. I have never seen him get mad throughout all these years.

"You have just been here for a few days, yet you've irritated him like that? I'm certain that you're the one at fault!"

Julien became flustered by her words. "How is it my fault? J

    Alyssa lowered her eyes and moved Jasper's hand away. "We should get the door first," she said as she brushed past him. It was evident to Jasper that she wasn't being herself. It felt as if she was feeling a little resentful toward him. Alyssa hurried to the entrance and opened the door. "Mrs. Rosie!""Madam!" Rosie dropped the bags that she was carrying and held Alyssa in an emotional embrace. "Madam … I've missed you so much!" Rosie cried. She sobbed like a child even though she was already in her 50s. Alyssa stroked Rosie gently. She choked back her tears, saying, "I've missed you very much, too! I'm glad to see you energetic and well." Jasper had tagged along behind Alyssa. He was surprised to see Rosie. Without a doubt, it was Alyssa who called Rosie over. "Mrs. Rosie, Mr. Beckett hasn't been feeling too well recently. I'm quite busy, and I'm afraid I might not have the time to look after him. Sorry to have to trouble you with looking after him," Alyssa explaine

    Alyssa had her bath and did her skincare. Then, she climbed into the bed and heaved a quiet sigh. The past version of her wouldn't have wasted energy on men. She likely would have gone out drinking and partying with her brothers without a care in the world. However, the conversation she had overheard between Jasper and Landon that morning had invoked many painful memories for her. She was no longer in the mood for anything else.She didn't even want to see Jasper's face. She knew that it wasn't his fault that she had lost her child. Regardless, she still simply couldn't get over it. Although she didn't bring it up or think about it, it didn't mean she had forgotten. A knock came on the door. Alyssa assumed Jasper was back to bother her, so she closed her eyes and pulled the covers over her head. She intended to ignore him. "Madam, it's me, Rosie. Are you already asleep? If you aren't, do you want to have some milk? I've warmed a glass of milk for you."Rosie's sounded

    "Mr. Jasper wears his watch all year round. It's not because he likes to do so. It is so that he can cover up the scar on his wrist." Alyssa was his wife. Naturally, she knew about his scar. However, she had thought it was a battle scar he received from the battlefield during his military days. She never expected there to be such a painful history hidden behind that long, terrifying scar. "I'm sure you must have been curious about why Mr. Jasper insisted on staying by Liana's side back then, given that she was such a cunning, selfish, and materialistic woman. "That was all because he places too much value on his relationships. He was also naive as he had never come in contact with any other woman other than her."Plus, she was also the one who discovered him in time and saved him when he slit his wrist that year. If not for her, Mr. Jasper probably wouldn't be here." Rosie rubbed her swollen eyes and continued, "Not only that, when Mr. Jasper was young, he was labeled as an

    Jasper was alone in his bedroom, sitting on the sofa and staring into space. A troubled look adorned his charming face. The thought of going to check on Alyssa came across his mind a few times the entire night. At the same time, he was afraid that she would become annoyed at the sight of him, so he didn't dare to bother her. When Rosie came out of the room, she didn't mention why Alyssa was mad. Instead, they had a long heart-to-heart talk about the matter regarding Sophia. Rosie cried buckets of tears. But, in the end, she expressed that she would play dumb when she got back to Seaview Manor. This was to avoid alerting Sophia that anything was wrong. Now, the plans for their revenge were beginning to take shape. The execution of their plans was in full swing, albeit in secret. At this stage, avoiding any unnecessary problems and troubles was crucial. They might fail to expose Sophia's heinous deeds if they weren't careful!"Mr. Jasper, I keep having this feeling that Mada

    Alyssa was all too familiar with how Jasper was feeling. During the three years they were married, she had also lived in fear in that same way, day and night. She feared that he would ignore her or divorce her. And now, he was having a good taste of the bitter love story that she experienced. Alyssa walked into the room. She opened the cake box, and the inviting strawberry cake gave off a delicious scent. She gulped back her saliva. But to Jasper, she was far more alluring than the cake. Rather than the cake, he was more interested in eating her up.Alyssa cut two slices out of the cake in a few swift moves. She picked up a slice and handed it to Jasper, saying, "I never knew you liked desserts. You've never mentioned it to me."You've never had a bite of the desserts that I made for you in the past. So, I thought that you didn't like them." Jasper held his spoon with trembling hands. He took huge bites of the cake, but all he could taste was bitterness at the back of his

    Alyssa couldn't help but lean her neck back. The notion of Jasper being a cunning man flashed through her mind. Indeed, he was crafty!It was only when not a single trace of cream remained on her skin that Jasper reluctantly lifted his face. He gazed at her intently and asked, "Isn't it better if I do it this way?" "Better … Better my foot."Soon enough, tiny red dots began to form like stars on the smooth skin on Alyssa's chest. They were the love bites he had left behind! She looked away shyly. The pace of her breathing quickened, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead.He was also in a similar state. It was as if they had both just experienced some intense action. The only difference was that one had become soft, whereas the other had become hard. "Jasper, I gave you an inch, and you've really taken a mile. You've crossed the line!" Alyssa pouted her. Jasper felt aroused by how ashamed and angry she looked. Her voice sounded sweet, and even her sobs sounded

    In the following days, Alyssa and Jasper refrained from displaying physical affection toward each other. They maintained a courteous demeanor.Nevertheless, their intense emotions, potent enough to elicit a blush, permeated every corner of the villa.Rosie prepared three meals a day for them. Alyssa couldn't bear to see her working so hard, so she offered to help her with everything, But both Rosie and Jasper kept stopping her from doing so. "You're allergic to smoke. It's better if you don't enter the kitchen. I'll help Mrs. Rosie out. You can just wait for the food to be ready," Jasper said from behind her. He interlocked all ten fingers, enveloping her waist with his arms. He couldn't help but give her a peck on her earlobe when he rested his forehead on her shoulder. Alyssa was embarrassed that she had turned completely pink in front of Rosie. She squirmed hard in his embrace and objected. "Don't force yourself. What can a pampered man like you do?" "It's fine. I can

    Jasper and Alyssa had advanced to all bases in their relationship by now, but he could tell she hadn't entirely accepted him. Without his direct initiative, they would still be unable to engage with each other closely, as typical couples do.While she might have shared her embrace, her kisses, and her body with him, she had only exposed a fraction of her true feelings.Jasper tightened his fists and rallied his spirits. Once again, a resolute expression crossed his face.All was fine. One step at a time. Everything was moving in a positive direction, wasn't it? "Wow! Quick, come and see! That is one eye-catching couple! The woman is beautiful, and the man is attractive! Are they models, or are they celebrities?" Suddenly, some passersby looked toward them and excitedly began to discuss amongst themselves. "They've covered up so well. How can you tell that they are attractive?" "Observe their attire and the confidence they exude. That's a well-proportioned figure. I'm certa

    Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

    The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

    Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

    Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country.

It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

    The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

    The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

    Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

    Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

    Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli
