Jonah carefully watched his sister as she spoke. Alyssa was an opportunist, always seizing whatever chance she got, even if that meant breaking the rules of the game. One small opening was all she needed to turn the tide in her favor and strike down her enemies.Curtis appeared puzzled for a moment, not expecting that question."It looks like you know the answer." Alyssa sneered."I … I do …" Curtis swallowed nervously. His voice shook as he said, "Because … the child is mine."Both Alyssa and Jonah tensed up in surprise. Alyssa flexed her hands excitedly. They had caught a big fish!Jonah snapped, "Details. Now.""Liana frequented the gym in Mosgravia, where I worked as a personal trainer. She was so sexy, always batting her eyes and trying to seduce me. One thing led to the other, and we started sleeping together …"Alyssa cocked an eyebrow. "Go on.""We both know this was purely transactional, friends with benefits and nothing more. Liana always had other men to play aroun

"What's wrong, Sean?" Alyssa asked, feeling worried now. She had never seen Sean so pitiful and upset. His eyes were reddened, his lips as pallid as a stray pup rescued from the gutters. "Is this about Sophia?" Jonah asked, walking over to them. His gaze was kind as he rubbed his hands clean with a cotton cloth.Alyssa noticed there was redness on it and sighed internally. She still couldn't stop her brother from taking revenge in the end. She cursed silently, pondering when her moment to shine would finally arrive. "I'm sorry … I'm so sorry!" Sean cried, nearly sobbing.Just as Alyssa was wondering what was going on, her second brother called."Silas?""Sophia Kirkman just left my custody, Lyse." His tone was more exasperation than anything else. "My team tried all we could to gather information and evidence on Sophia's crimes these past few days, but she seemed to have already prepared her defenses. "Her cousin is taking responsibility for all crimes. Javier has also found

After nearly a week spent in the Investigative Bureau, Sophia finally walked out, heaving her tired body like a lump of sand. Without her makeup and skincare routine, she seemed to have aged an additional decade. Even her hair had more gray strands than before.She avoided the crowd of reporters and decided not to go home first. Javier would probably pass out at the sight of her. So Betty accompanied her to a beauty parlor, where she could wash up, pluck away her gray hairs, and put on some makeup before going back."We'll go see Liana first." Sophia plucked away the hair around her lips as she spoke. "I have to check up on her. She's my niece, after all. That way, your Dad's image of me will maintain."She couldn't have her carefully crafted persona of twenty-five years crash just like that."I couldn't believe she pulled such a trick, Mom!" Betty cried. She hated Liana. Yet, she couldn't help but feel upset by the memory of that bloody bathtub. "Whether or not Jasper takes the ba

Rosaline sat beside Liana, consoling her. "Your uncle spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Simon to save your aunt from the Bureau. Clearly, he cares deeply for her. "I'm sure now that your aunt is able to help, you'll definitely be able to marry Jasper! Hasn't he been coming over frequently? I'm confident your relationship has grown even closer!"She was grinning like a fox who had eaten the canary, feeling that her position as an in-law to the Beckett family was now 100% secure. Rosaline added, "You know what Jasper's temper is like. He would never have come if he didn't like you anymore.""I guess so … I just… don't feel good about all this," Liana said as she recalled the look Jasper had given her earlier today. "Yes, he's been by my side all these days, but it feels like he's changed.""That's enough. Don't go overthinking now."Just then, the door opened. It was Jasper.Liana swiftly put up her frail, meek mask. "Jas-Jasper …"Jasper went up to her side, his expression flat

As a result of Winston's grave concern and meddling, Alyssa's blind dating schedule had been expedited.She was putting on makeup in the bathroom while listening to Sean reading her schedule on the iPad from the outside."Lunch at 11:30 am with Mr. Manning of Hutton Group; tea break at 1:30 pm with the eldest son of Sandhurst Inc.'s Mr. Coppola; attend a privately booked musical at 3:30 pm with the second son of Zoleva Corp's Mr. Cruz …"She was taken aback upon hearing that because that meant one blind date every two hours. Her schedule was more hectic than the president of a nation!Soon, she emerged from the bathroom after her makeup session. Sean burst into laughter upon seeing her. "Ms. Alyssa, you went pretty hard."She wore a huge curly wig and drew some freckles on her face. A patch of black stuff was underneath her nose, like a mustache. She rested an arm against the doorframe and made a gesture of picking her nose."Is this 'going hard'? I was thinking of drawing some s
