MasukInstantly, the entire hall erupted into chaos as guests began murmuring among themselves. Not only had this plain-looking young man infiltrated the banquet by disguising himself as a waiter, but he had also attempted to assassinate both Justin and Alyssa—heirs to elite families—using a blade.The moment he injured even one of them, his life was effectively over. What on earth had driven him to gamble his future and his life so recklessly? And why had he accused Justin of murder and labeled Alyssa an accomplice?There was simply too much shocking gossip being unleashed all at once. The guests could barely keep up.At that moment, the hotel's entire security team swarmed into the hall. They moved to take the assailant away, but Jasper continued to pin the man to the ground, showing no intention of releasing him."Please hand him over to us. We'll take it from here. We wouldn't want you to get hurt," the head of security said politely as he approached Jasper.However, Jasper remain
"Mr. Gentry is right there. Let's head over and have a word with him," Justin said, his tone warm as he guided Alyssa with a gentlemanly poise. "I've arranged for a champagne tower to be brought over shortly. Shall we do the honors together?" Perhaps it was due to Alyssa's exceptionally sharp sixth sense as a woman, but she suddenly felt as though someone was watching her from the shadows. She glanced back with feigned nonchalance, and her heart nearly stopped. A familiar, tall shadow flashed past the entrance. Though she caught only a fleeting blur, she recognized it immediately.It was Jasper.Was he here today? Had he been watching her silently from the shadows all this time?Tagging along with Justin, Alyssa approached Rafe. The three of them chatted lightly, though Alyssa's mind was clearly elsewhere.Some time after, a waiter arrived, pushing a trolley bearing a champagne tower toward Justin and Alyssa amid applause from the crowd. He spoke respectfully. "Here is the cha
Alyssa massaged her slightly sore temples and let out a bitter laugh. "Sean, you're quite the sweet-talker, aren't you? I bet you make your wife very happy at home.""Of course. I make Taty so happy every day that she has this silly grin on her face all the time. From the moment she got pregnant to the day she gave birth, the doctor said she was perfectly healthy, both physically and emotionally. There wasn't even the slightest sign of postpartum depression!" Sean boasted, eyes warm with affection and pride.He did his very best to be the perfect husband and father. A relieved smile softened Alyssa's face. "That's wonderful. You're truly blessings to each other. Make sure you hold on to Taty tightly. Never let her go, alright?""Don't worry, Ms. Alyssa. I swear on my life that I, Sean Lynch, will love Taty with everything I have for the rest of my days."He gazed deeply at Alyssa, his voice trembling slightly. "And I'm sure you and Mr. Beckett will get back together. How could a
"Mr. Beckett," Xavier said, walking to Jasper's side, concern etched across his face. Jasper quickly hid the emotions flickering in his eyes and forced himself to appear composed. "The contract-signing ceremony went very smoothly," he remarked.Xavier's gaze stayed on the screen. Alyssa looked stunning and elegant as she shook hands with Justin, captivating the entire audience. Countless emotions swirled within him. "It's just a shame that you aren't the one standing across from Madam Alyssa," he said.Jasper's eyelashes trembled slightly as he parted his dry lips. "It doesn't really matter who signs the contract with Ms. Alyssa, as long as the signing is successful and benefits Beckett Group.""Are you sure it doesn't matter?" "Yes." Jasper's Adam's apple bobbed. In a hoarse voice, he added, "It really doesn't matter that much." Xavier sighed helplessly. Jasper was hopelessly stubborn. He would probably deny it until his death."Mr. Beckett, didn't you say you weren't coming

After the announcement, various media outlets flocked to the hotel well ahead of schedule, eager to attend the press conference.Ten minutes before it began, cameras and lenses were already trained on the stage.

Even if she felt that much of this was merely Justin putting on a show,
Julien felt an instant chill run down his spine. Though the bar was loud and chaotic, everything around him suddenly felt silent—as if he had been plunged into a vacuum. "Mr. Beckett values talent and has great admiration for you," Uri said smoothly. "When he found out that you and I were acquainted, he asked me to pay you a special visit and have a good chat with you."He gestured to the bartender for another drink. Then, he slowly pushed the glass toward Julien, a gloomy look flickering in his eyes. "Mr. Beckett also has his own research center in Mosgravia."His plan, on returning to Solana City, is to establish the largest and most advanced pharmaceutical research center in the country—one that will contribute to the advancement of human medicine."He's recruiting talented individuals from all over the world.
