Chapter 997

Author: Ginger Sue
The next day, Jasper and Landon went secretly to Shelland Island, armed with weapons.

It wasn't the smoothest trip. The day started out sunny and calm, but a thunderstorm struck after two hours on the boat.

The two had opted for a yacht instead of a larger vessel in order to keep a low profile. Not only would they be a smaller and speedier target, but they could also swiftly retreat the scene if needed.

But the downside to this kind of ship was how vulnerable it left them to the extreme weather!

"Mr. Jasper, Mr. Harper, what do we do? Is the boat going to capsize?" Landon's men were doing their best to keep the yacht afloat. But it was tough to do so when the vessel wouldn't stop being tossed and turned by the harsh waves, not to mention sail onward in a straight line!

All of a sudden, a large wave crashed toward the ship, aiming right for Landon.

Landon stood there shocked, unable to move. All of a sudden, someone went up to shield him.

Jasper used his body to protect Landon f

    Jasper and Landon looked up, and sure enough, a helicopter was flying right toward them!Everyone immediately went on high alert. They took out their weapons and aimed right at the helicopter."At ease. I doubt they're the enemy," Jasper said calmly. He was the only one who remained unworried."How are you so sure?" Landon asked in surprise."If they were the enemy, they could've started firing at us from this distance already. The only reason they haven't is because they don't plan on killing us."Landon nodded eagerly. "Makes sense!"The helicopter landed on the beach, its blades sweeping up sand that blinded everyone's eyes. Only Jasper remained steady, welcoming the billowing wind as he watched a man step off the helicopter.When Jasper saw who it was, his eyes widened."Holy shit! It's Jonah!" Landon yelped and hid behind Jasper.Jonah approached them, emanating a commanding presence. Despite having connections in legal and underworld circles, Landon should theoreticall

    Jasper's eyes grew red-rimmed, his voice hoarse, as he begged Jonah. "All I'm doing now is so that I can make it up to Lyse. I'd give up my life just to help her achieve what she wants, no matter whether you all forgive me or not. Just please don't put Lyse at risk. As her brother, you know just how she can be!"Jasper was really worried that Alyssa would be angry at him all over again. They had gotten to such a neutral state after months of tribulation. Jasper didn't want things to return to square one.But he was more worried something terrible might happen to Alyssa.Jonah hadn't expected Jasper to blurt all this out. He'd only meant to mock the latter.After a moment of silence, Jonah finally said, "Alright. You can proceed, but you have to stick with me."…While Jasper was making the first move overseas, things weren't looking too good back in Solana City.Today marked the day of a crucial meeting between Beckett Group and Jesselton Inc. from Mosgravia. Javier and the high

    "Who is that? They look local.""I'm not sure, but don't you think he looks a bit like Mr. Beckett?""I didn't notice it before, but … he does, yeah!"Javier's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the screen.It was Justin!Why was he sitting there with Mr. Jesselton?As if oblivious to the fact that the call had gone through, Justin was chatting merrily with the Jesselton father and son. They looked to have quite a friendship."Justin, you … " Javier was taken aback. The script he had meticulously prepared the previous night quickly became a jumble.Only then did Justin react by turning to the camera. He waved at Javier. "Long time no see, Dad."The board members were stunned.Was this handsome, refined young man Justin Beckett, the eldest son of the Beckett family who had never once revealed himself publicly in Solana City?Just then, Ezzo turned to greet Javier with a smile through the screen. "I believe we have much to discuss regarding our partnership, Mr. Javier."…

    After the agreement was signed, Javier heaved a long sigh. The weight in his heart had lifted greatly.This business deal meant that their company had regained their footing and gained some respect once again.Javier returned to his officer and quickly called Justin again."Congratulations on another successful partnership, Dad," Justin said. He was now in a car heading back home. There was a warmth in his eyes accompanying his smile.When it came to looks, Justin was not as handsome as Jasper, nor was he as sharp as Landon or as eccentric as Jameson.Justin had a refined yet gentle vibe that made you glad to befriend him and get to know more. Due to Justin's disability, his movements were restricted by a wheelchair. But that never made him down or depressed. His smile remained warm and bright as ever—as if that kidnapping from years ago never happened."It's your doing that made this partnership go through, Justin. I should be the one thanking you." Javier's tone was thick wit

    Jasper then shared a look with Jonah before they headed deep into the jungle.Landon prayed for the two of them to return safely. …In the Millennium's most extravagant suit, Jameson was discussing merrily with a Tsulu military representative. This Tsulian man, Inigo Montoye, had worked with Jameson when the latter was making a name for himself in Kontina. Since Inigo had benefited a lot from working with Jameson, he naturally gave the same to Jameson's endeavors in Tsulu and Kontina.Jameson had become a powerful financial magnate in Kontina, while Inigo was a lieutenant colonel in the Royal Tsulian Army's Ground Force. Virtually no outsider knew of their connection all these years.Amber stayed beside them the whole night, topping their drinks off and playing the perfect role as bait. Whenever she bent down to pour a drink, Inigo got a full view of her cleavage, making the blood in his veins burn with desire. He didn't even notice when his drink spilled at the edges.Just

    Jameson stated, "Unlike how powerful they are in Solana City, those two are in Tsulu without any reinforcements. No one would notice if you killed them and disposed of their bodies, yes?" Jameson asked with eyes that hinted malice. "After all, you're quite the expert at doing that.""Hahaha! You really did think this through, Mr. Schmidt. But … how will you thank me for helping you out?""Money. Land. Whatever you want.""I have something I want right now." Inigo's lustful eyes ran along Amber's body.In the next instant, Jameson grabbed her arm and flung her toward Inigo. Amber was caught unaware and immediately landed on Inigo's lap. The latter immediately caged her in with his arms, running his hands all over her.Jameson slowly got up from his seat and left the room without looking back, saying, "She's all yours tonight."…Inigo left The Millennium satisfied for the night after having his fill of women and wine, ready to execute the task Jameson had given him.Amber was

    "Don't you find that question hilarious?" Jameson chuckled and flung her hand away. "If I'd known you were this shallow, I would never have rescued you all those years ago."With a slam of the door, Jameson left the room.Amber crumpled into a heap, weeping painfully and feeling more pathetic than the torn pieces of fabric on the floor.…Cold island rain fell on Jasper as he continued moving forward. Jonah walked beside him in silence, secretly surprised at how swift Jasper was.Jasper's military years did him well. His training as a special ops soldier had neither worn down throughout his CEO career nor dulled his steely will.As long as the circumstances deemed necessary, Jasper would eagerly dive back onto the battlefield.Jonah couldn't help but admit that Jasper was the only other man in this world who could protect Alyssa besides himself."Pity," Jonah sighed."What?" Jasper asked, having heard Jonah even though they were moving fast.Jonah was about to speak when he s

    Jasper's suspicion over Jameson wasn't entirely baseless. He wasn't simply taking a stab at his love rival. Ever since he reunited with Alyssa, he had been trying his best to conduct thorough investigations into a few things in secret. These included his relationship with the Schmidt family members, his situation in Solana City, and what he had been up to in Kontina all these years. As expected, due to Jameson's keen intellect, uncovering classified information about him proved impossible.However, Jasper did uncover that Jameson had colluded with the evil underground forces in Kontina. Superficially, the corporation they established appeared to operate in the realms of real estate and gambling. In reality, though, it concealed a nefarious organization involved in a wide array of criminal activities.With extensive connections in Kontina, Jameson held sway even among officials and businessmen, ensuring that powerful parties were covering for him.This was the method by which

    When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based. Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness. A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray."Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest—you won't find her no matter ho

    Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent. "Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly."Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much. As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore."I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!" With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone. "Ambs…"Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device. Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on. "What's the password?" Jasper asked g

    "Five times more potent than the previous version? Are you sure it's safe for Remy to consume this?" Sheryl picked up the pill, unease flickering across her face. As much as she despised Remy, she couldn't deny his prowess as a fighter and his value as Justin's right-hand man. Having him around would certainly ease Justin's workload, prompting her to double-check."It won't kill him, but it won't be pleasant either. Don't worry—it's temporary," Justin replied, a sinister smile curling his lips. He continued nonchalantly, "When he takes the pill, his adrenaline will spike, flooding him with energy while his muscles tense. He'll feel both pain and euphoria. Then, it will fade, leaving him dependent on the drug moving forward." The implication was clear to Sheryl. Justin intended to control Remy through addiction. "Remy wasn't born for the shadows," Justin continued, his gaze darkened. "He's just a victim of post-traumatic amnesia, his nervous system subdued with sedatives and anes

    "Got it, Mr. Harper!" Harper Group's subordinates acknowledged before swiftly dispersing. "I'm going to search for Amber too," Alyssa said, turning to leave.Jasper caught her arm. "It's freezing. Go wait in the car." Landon chimed in, "Lyse, listen to Jasper. Just wait in the car. We'll search for Amber.""No—I have to come too!" Alyssa sniffled. The sharp wind stung her face, leaving her nose raw and crimson, her eyes watering until they puffed into tender, swollen crescents. "Amber's in trouble because of me. I was careless—it's all my fault!""Lyse…" Landon's heart sank at her remorseful expression.Jasper's gaze softened as he studied Alyssa's pale face. "Her disappearance isn't your fault."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes as she shook her head. "Amber means everything to Axel. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to face him. I don't deserve to be his sister. Please, let me come with you."Jasper and Landon failed to dissuade her. Reluctantly, they agreed. Alyssa

    After studying Sheryl for a moment, Remy turned and left."M-Ms. Gillis, are you okay?" One of Sheryl's subordinates came forward to help her up."Useless bastard! Why didn't you step in when he hit me earlier?" Sheryl's voice trembled with fury as her gaze fell on the crimson stains marring the pristine snow.Stammering, the subordinate replied, "R-Remy acted too quickly. Everyone in the organization knows how good of a fighter he is. None of us stood a chance against him!""S-Something wasn't right about him tonight." Sheryl watched Remy's retreating figure disappear into the distance, her voice dropping to a menacing murmur. "I need to report this to Mr. Justin in person immediately."Inside his car, Remy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands but made no move to drive.Closing his eyes, he felt a suffocating sensation rise in his throat, as though he were drowning in an endless, hopeless sea. He was just a speck, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.A shar

    With a piercing gaze, Sheryl glared at Remy, who stood in front of her car with an air of frigidity around him. The temptation to ram her car into the crestfallen man was almost irresistible, but she didn't dare. Remy was Justin's right-hand man, and even her audacity had limits. Instead, Sheryl pulled her white coat snugly around her, stepped out of the car with feigned composure, and strode toward him. Hostility crackled between them as their eyes locked.Sheryl broke the silence. "Remy, is there nothing you'd like to update me about?" she asked with a sinister look in her eyes. Stiffly, Remy asked, "Where did you take that woman?" "How shameless of you to question me. Mr. Justin was wise to send me as backup. Otherwise, Amber would have escaped without a trace!"Gritting her teeth, Sheryl took a step closer to Remy. "Is this how you handle tasks entrusted by Mr. Justin? The unstoppable Remy, brought to his knees by a wild brat? Or did you let her go intentionally? Are yo

    "Jameson and Carl have been eliminated. Who else could be targeting Amber?"A sharp glint flashed in Jasper's eyes as a thought struck him. "Could it be Justin or Sheryl?" he asked, his voice low and tense.He recalled seeing Justin in the living room earlier that evening, wide awake instead of resting. Was Justin waiting for something? Or perhaps, provoking him in subtle defiance?"They are the only ones I can think of with a grudge against Amber." Alyssa's anxiousness made her voice tremble. "Having worked for Jameson for years, Amber must have visited Mosgravia multiple times to meet with Sir—who is, in fact, Justin. "Justin wouldn't have met anyone else besides Jameson. But how could he leave no trace after all those interactions? Amber must have figured out his true identity. And Justin—he must have realized who she is, even with her changed appearance."Jasper's expression darkened. "So he decided to eliminate her as a precaution."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes, threaten

    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
