"Also, you know about Lauren's situation. If I divorce, I'll definitely send Sophia abroad. The farther, the better. I fear that Lauren will not be able to bear the separation from her mother, and it may worsen her condition."Rory nodded in understanding, realizing the dilemma Javier was facing."I asked you to find out Jasper's whereabouts. Did you find him? Where has he gone?" Javier asked."Sorry, Mr. Javier. You know Mr. Jasper is quite skilled. If he doesn't want anyone to find him, no one can," Rory replied helplessly.Javier didn't say anything and dialed Jasper's number on his phone.After several attempts, Jasper finally answered."It's so late. Do you have something important?""Jasper, I—""If this is about me returning for a project meeting, you don't need to waste your breath. I won't go." Jasper's attitude was cold. There was no affection whatsoever in their exchange.Javier pressed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Jasper, do you have time tomorrow? Come with

Rory said, "Okay. I'll get it now."Only after Rory left did Javier dare to reveal his vulnerability. He slumped down. Guilt and pain swept over him like a storm, tormenting him in unspeakable ways.At this moment, his mind was chaotic, filled with various voices."I don't know when it started, but I've become someone who can't be separated from you.""Every morning, the first thing she thinks about is how she should die. But when she thinks of Jasper, she can't bear to leave her young son like that.""Even if my mother once loved you, the moment she leaped from Seaview Manor's balcony, she no longer does."Javier opened his eyes abruptly, his heart pounding uncontrollably.Just then, Rory returned with a glass of warm water."Rory, how much do you remember about Anne's situation 20 years ago?"Rory was startled for a second, then replied, "I have a good memory. Didn't you choose me as your secretary because of that? If you have any questions, just ask.""Back then, Anne had

Landon was shocked. His mouth was slightly agape for a while."Jasper, have you realized that you actually have a masochistic tendency? You've got the inclination to become a henpecked husband."At this rate, you'll have to surrender all your credit cards. Damn, will I be the one to foot the bill now every time we go out?""Had you not been the one who has been footing the bills whenever we went out before?" Jasper asked nonchalantly.Landon was rendered speechless.Indeed.Jasper was a complete homebody with no recreational hobbies other than work, exercise, and boxing. From what he remembered, Landon had always been the one initiating everything.He often visited Seaview Manor with a driver and bodyguards to take Jasper out. Jasper rarely took the initiative to plan anything.But Landon was happy with it and had no complaints.Although he lost his father at a young age, he knew he had received plenty of love from his family. On the contrary, Jasper seemed to have everything,

"But can Javier do the same? He's inherently a selfish person. He has never loved my mother. He only loves himself. I don't even deserve Lyse's forgiveness. It's impossible for him to get my mother's."Landon sighed softly, feeling sorry for his buddy.At this moment, a phone call interrupted the heavy atmosphere."How's the situation?" Landon put the call on speaker and asked eagerly."We've got a problem, Mr. Harper." The person sent to track Jeffrey sounded anxious."Just as Mr. Beckett expected, Jeffrey does have a local gang supporting him in Tsulu. We found out that this group is notorious in the area, colluding with Tsulu's officials and merchants."Drug trafficking, arms smuggling, murder ... They're involved in almost every kind of crime. Over the years, they have grown deep roots, and even Tsulu's government and royal family can't do anything about them."Jasper and Landon exchanged serious glances. They knew the situation would be tricky but didn't expect it to be thi

It was late at night. Betty carried a food container and stood outside the door. She knocked gently."You haven't eaten anything all day. You can't keep going like this. I brought some food for you. They're all your favorites. Open the door, Mom."However, there was no response from inside the room.Betty started to feel uneasy, so she turned the doorknob. To her surprise, the door was not locked.She felt a surge of anger.The servants of the Beckett family were opportunistic and snobbish.News of Javier wanting to divorce Sophia had spread throughout the Beckett family. Seeing Sohpia lose power, they started to neglect her.They said they delivered her food, but she didn't open the door. However, the door was not even locked. They were just lying down on the job.Betty entered cautiously. The room was pitch dark, making her shiver involuntarily.Suddenly, moans of pain echoed from the bedroom.Betty's anxiety heightened, and she ran toward the bedroom door.Upon opening th

It seemed that Sophia couldn't meet her demise so soon. Otherwise, Betty's future in the Beckett family would be precarious, and no one would bother planning her future for her.…On the other side, Tristan was packing up at the hospital, preparing to leave Solana City temporarily.Suddenly, his phone rang.Seeing that it was Alyssa calling, Tristan smiled and immediately answered."Ms. Alyssa.""Dr. McAlister, are you still in Solana City?""Yes, I haven't left yet, but I'm about to head to the airport. What do you need?"Alyssa paused for a moment and then said in a low voice, "Don't leave tonight. I'll reschedule your flight for you.""Did something happen?"Tristan appeared concerned. "Do you have other arrangements? If so, I won't leave."In fact, he had no intention of leaving. He wasn't afraid of trouble. He was worried he couldn't help her."Betty will be at your hospital in a while. She must have come to see you for Sophia."At that moment, Alyssa was in the villa

Betty sat alone in her sports car, taking a long time to gather courage before getting out and entering the hospital.She didn't dare bring anyone else with her. This matter had to be kept confidential, and every additional person who knew about it was an additional risk.Betty tried pushing the door, and it unexpectedly opened.The hospital was deserted, as if it had been anticipating her arrival.At that moment, Betty's phone rang.Displayed on the screen was Tristan's number that she just saved."Hello?" she answered, trying to remain composed while looking around cautiously."Ms. Betty, I'm waiting for you in the office on the second floor. Come on in."After saying that, Tristan promptly ended the call without wasting any words.Betty clenched her teeth and went up to the second floor. She approached the office door and pushed it open.Inside, Tristan, in a white coat, was sitting on the sofa with a smile, watching her.When Betty saw him, her pupils constricted.She f

"Do you … want me to—" Betty's voice trembled, her breath quickening.Tristan remained calm, tilting his head. He stared at her with an enticing gaze that hid his desire.Betty understood. If she didn't make some sacrifice tonight, she probably wouldn't get the medicine back.But for her, it didn't matter. She was well-versed in dealing with men in bed. Moreover, Tristan was young and handsome, comparable to the male models she knew. It wasn't a bad deal."I get it. What men want is nothing more than this."Blushing, Betty began to unbutton her dress.Soon, all the buttons were undone, and her dress slid down. Standing in front of Tristan, she was now in sexy wine-red lace underwear."Now we can—""Ms. Betty, what are you doing?"Tristan laughed disdainfully, completely unaffected. "Is your mind always filled with thoughts about doing this with men daily? When did I say I wanted to sleep with you?"Betty felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body shook all over. He

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. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. 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
