Jasper started, "Hey silly, h-how did you get in here? When…"

His head was still a blur. The hand that habitually held her hand was now gently caressing the area between her ribs.

Alyssa covered her chest and pursed her lips in anger. "Phew! You scared me. Do you have any idea how terrifying your eyes were earlier? You looked like you were about to eat me alive."

"I'm sorry, Lyse. It's a bad habit I have had since my days in the army. It's an unfixable reaction to stress."

When Alyssa heard

  • Can't Win Me Back   Chapter 2571

    Immediately, Eden and Rory pulled out their phones at the same time to check the news. A moment later, their expressions fell in unison. They cried out together, "It's bad news, Mr. Beckett!" "What is it now?" Javier snapped impatiently. With a grim expression, Rory glanced at Justin, studying him intently. Though he wanted to report everything to Javier, Justin's cold, sinister gaze sent a chill down his spine. Under that immense pressure, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Unable to wait any longer, Javier snatched the phone from Rory's hands. The next moment, it felt as though a bomb had gone off in his head, leaving it buzzing. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "What is this? An innocent young woman was stabbed over 20 times and murdered? Someone reported that Justin killed a female helper in our family 20 years ago, and that our entire family covered it up?"They're urging the authorities to investigate this as soon as possible, and they're calling for

    "Justin, what's going on with your Uncle Zachary's death? Why are the police investigating you?" Javier demanded. Dark circles hung beneath his eyes, clear evidence that he hadn't slept at all. Justin crossed his legs nonchalantly, an unperturbed smile spreading across his face. "Dad, I know what you're afraid of. But what's there to fear? No matter how terrifying or perverse Uncle Zachary was, he's already dead." Javier flew into a rage. "Me? Afraid of him? The police are after you because of his death! Cyrus Taylor took you away in front of everyone at yesterday's board meeting. The news has spread across Solana City; it's even trending online!"Beckett Group's share price plunged into the red first thing this morning. Do you even realize how much trouble you've caused the corporation?"Justin merely shrugged. "So what? The contract for Project A5 has already been signed, and the project is underway. Besides, we have government-backed projects supporting us. These fluctuations

    Justin had never been in optimal health to begin with, relying on medication for years just to keep his condition stable. On top of that, he had been detained at the police station for over ten hours. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning by the time he returned to Seaview Manor.Ever since he was a child, he had regarded Javier as a useless father. In fact, deep down, he had never truly seen him as his father at all. Everything about their relationship had merely been a means for Justin to strip Javier of his power and authority and achieve his ultimate goal. Now, utterly exhausted, Justin had no energy to deal with Javier. After arriving home, he headed straight to his room to rest, leaving Eden to handle him. After taking so many lives in recent days, the weight on Justin's heart was overwhelming. Nevertheless, having reached his physical and emotional limits, he fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow. He dreamed of watching his mother shoot hersel

    In the interrogation room, Cyrus conducted the questioning himself. He tossed several crime scene photos onto the table in front of Justin. "Take a look. Aside from your Uncle Zachary, do you recognize the other man?"Justin lowered his gaze, his voice calm and steady. "No."A faint smile tugged at Cyrus's lips. "No? This was the man who kidnapped you 20 years ago. He locked you up in a cage and tortured you for days. "I'm sure that left quite an impression. You must have wished to kill him every time you thought about it. How could you possibly forget his face?"A cold glint flashed in Justin's dark eyes, but his tone remained even. "Oh, that's him? But like you said, that was 20 years ago. It's only natural I wouldn't remember something from that long ago, don't you think?"Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly. "And yet Jasper recognized him at a glance. That man was Gustav Holm, the thug who kidnapped both of you back then. Your brother is five years younger than you, which mean

    A commotion erupted in the room the moment Justin was escorted out. "What in the world is going on, Mr. Javier? Why did the police come for Mr. Justin?""Mr. Dutton's death couldn't possibly have anything to do with him, could it?""The president of Beckett Group was taken away in public! If this gets out, it'll seriously damage the company's reputation!"At a critical moment like this, the board members were concerned only with the corporation's interests.That was only natural. After all, those interests were tied directly to their own. "That's enough, everyone. There's no need to panic." Though Javier's thoughts were in turmoil, he forced himself to remain composed. "Just as Chief Taylor said, they only need Justin to assist with the investigation. He's not being treated as a suspect. After all, the deceased was his biological uncle."This meeting is adjourned for now. We'll reconvene at a later date. Please wait for my notice."Even though Justin hadn't been handcuffed an

    That voice was icy, devoid of any emotion. Yet it felt like a blade pressed suddenly against Justin's throat. The person outside the door enunciated every word with deliberate clarity, making sure everyone inside could hear him. All the board members turned to look at Justin at once, their eyes fixed on his cold expression. Javier stared at Justin in shock. Though countless questions swirled in his mind, he didn't dare voice any of them under so many watchful eyes. "Mr. Justin Beckett!" Cyrus raised his voice. "Would you like to come out and meet with me, or do I have to come in and escort you out myself?"His arrogant, mocking tone was a direct provocation.Enemies stood waiting outside, while those inside the room fell into a heavy silence. The tension stretched to its limit. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but beneath it, unease churned like a current beneath frozen water. Some of the board members had already begun whispering among themselves.A sense of impen

    At that moment, Jasper found himself to be laughable. He had thought that, despite Zoe's bad behavior, there should still be a trace of innocence in her. After all, she was his best friend's only sister.However, he had misjudged her. Her relationship with Landon was only by blood, and Zoe was nothin

    Upon hearing Landon's words, Alyssa's first guess was a PTSD episode."Text me Jasper's address. I'll be there soon," said Alyssa with a frown before hanging up.Meanwhile, Julien had just finished smoking a cigarette. When he was about to get into the car, the engine revved, and the doors were locked

    Jonah took a few steps and stood in front of Jasper. He looked down on Jasper's pale face with contempt."Jasper, you truly deserve to die." The next moment, Jonah suddenly leaned forward, knocking Jasper off the chair! The two men fell heavily, and Sean exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Jonah! Be careful!" J
