Chapter 148

Author: Ginger Sue
Liana had begged Sophia for those two invitation cards. Her resentment at having to stoop so low had now dissipated.

"Why didn't you tell me we were coming to an event like this? You know I don't like these things," Jasper grumbled quietly, his jaw tight.

"I wouldn't have been able to ask Ms. Emerson to make my wedding dress for me, given my social status. That's why I wanted you to come. She's sure to agree to my request if you ask her."

Jasper's face had darkened. Liana hurriedly added, "I'm really sorry I didn't tell you beforehand."

"Just tell me next time. I could have sent someone to come in my stead," Jasper sighed, though his tone had softened considerably now.

"I promise I will next time."

Just then, a set of familiar footsteps rang out from behind them. It was a precise and confident stride. Jasper instantly recognized who it was.

He turned around.

Alyssa approached them. She was dressed in an azure sundress and matching coat. She stood out against the backdrop of pi

    Winston was wheeled into the ICU once again. Through the massive window, Alyssa studied her beloved father, lying unconscious in bed, looking as fragile as butterfly wings. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and her body trembled. In the past, she had stubbornly gone her own way, ignoring everyone else in pursuit of love. Yet, Winston had always tolerated her without complaint. For a long time, she had been an ungrateful daughter. And now, in this very moment, she felt like she truly deserved to die. "Don't worry, Lyse. All of us—your brothers—are here with you. Cyrus and the others are rushing back as we speak."Watching Alyssa cry broke Silas' heart. "Lyse, don't cry! Dad was already ill to begin with. This was something that's been a long time coming. It's not your fault. Don't take it so hard. Don't blame yourself." "Silas is right, Lyse. This isn't because of you." Jonah gently placed his suit jacket over Alyssa's trembling shoulders. His voice was hoarse

    "Say what?" Alyssa exclaimed. Her face turned pale with shock as she leaped to her feet. Worry surged through her, and her voice began to tremble. "Jonah, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is serious!""You've been really busy lately…" "So what? Even if I collapsed from exhaustion, I'd still crawl home. He's my father!" Overcome with anxiety, Alyssa grabbed her coat from the back of her chair and headed for the door. "Has Dad's condition stabilized? I'm on my way now!""Lyse, hold on. Listen to me." Jonah exhaled. His voice grew heavy. "This time, Dad's emergency hospitalization has a little something to do with you."Alyssa froze in her tracks. "What do you mean?" "Dad's wives and I have been trying to distract him— spending time with him, watching shows together—because we were afraid he'd see the news about you joining Beckett Group's board and pulling out of Project A5."With a hint of helplessness, Jonah continued, "But even after all that, we didn't expect one o

    After parting ways with Alyssa, Jasper frowned as he stared into the night through the car window on the way back. Xavier exclaimed, "What did you say? Sheryl… is Liana?" The revelation struck like a bolt of lightning. Xavier slammed his foot on the brake, bringing the Maybach to a violent stop.Jasper, caught off guard, lurched forward and nearly hit the seat in front of him. "Don't you know who Liana and Sheryl are?" Jasper asked, straightening his posture. "You've been through all sorts of twists and turns. Why are you so rattled?"He tugged at his tie, frustration simmering within him. "I know who they are, but finding out they're the same person—it sends chills down my spine. My throat's dry just thinking about it."Xavier slammed his hands against the steering wheel, honking the horn by accident. "Damn it! Is Liana some kind of curse for you? Why does she keep haunting you like a ghost? Should I call in a sorcerer to perform a ritual or something? You've been ridiculousl

    Just as Justin finished speaking, Sheryl heard a series of heavy footsteps behind her—each one sounding like an omen. "Ms. Gillis, it's been a while."Sheryl turned sharply, eyes wide in disbelief."Uri… It's you!""I see you still remember my name."With an insincere smile on his face, Uri walked past her and headed straight to Justin. "Right now, I, too, work for Mr. Beckett. He is my leader."Justin, seated in his wheelchair, lifted his teacup and took a sip. "Our team has become stronger. This is fantastic." Sheryl was momentarily stupefied. Then it clicked. Her eyes widened in realization. "Mr. Justin, the genius professor you mentioned who developed the drug—was it Julien?" A flicker of satisfaction crossed Justin's eyes. "As expected of someone I trained. You're as sharp as ever."Uri's sudden arrival made everything clear.After regaining her composure, Sheryl stepped forward, studying the hardness in Uri's expression. She then asked, "What are you planning?""U

    Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

    In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh
