Chapter 1696

Author: Ginger Sue
Innumerable memories flooded Rose's mind like relentless nightmares, leaving her heart in turmoil. She made her way to the fridge, retrieved a chilled bottle of water, and drank it all, hoping to quell the unrest within her.

At this moment, a thud emanated from the fitting room, jolting Rose. Hastily, she approached and rapped on the door, concern evident in her voice. "Ms. Sparks, is everything alright? Ms. Sparks?"

No one responded. Rose felt something was off and barged into the fitting room.

"Ms. Sparks!"

Clarissa had fainted, her upper body exposed. Clarissa's back was covered with bruises and scabs formed by old injuries.

Rose was stunned for two seconds before she swiftly took off her coat to cover Clarissa's body. Then she carried her up.

"Ms. Sparks, wake up!"

As Clarissa gradually regained consciousness, Rose's relief was palpable, yet her concern lingered. "How did you get these injuries, Ms. Sparks?"

Avoiding Rose's probing gaze, Clarissa turned away, tears brimmi

    After settling Jasper down for the night, Xavier left the bedroom and nervously dialed Julien's number from the living room. Julien picked up after only a few rings. As always, the background noise on his end was chaotic. "Mr. Hall, is Mr. Beckett unwell?" Xavier felt bad for only reaching out to Julien whenever he needed help, especially since Julien had always been kind to them. Nonetheless, he asked politely, "Dr. Lovelace, we're running low on Mr. Beckett's medication. Could you provide two more bottles?" "Already? I gave you three bottles last time!" Though shocked, Julien didn't treat Xavier like an outsider. He spoke bluntly, "Has Mr. Beckett been taking my meds like candy? Listen—nervous system depressants like these are harmful to the nerves and kidneys."Too much can damage his brain and his sexual function. If he's not careful, he might not be able to get it up in the future!" "But we really don't have a choice right now. Mr. Beckett can't go without it, and his c

    "Jasper, you're back," Justin greeted with a faint smile. Even so, his grip on Alyssa only tightened, showing no sign of letting her go. His eyes gleamed with an intense possessiveness.Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. As she looked into Jasper's deep, distant eyes, tears welled up quietly. At that moment, she felt her entanglement with Justin was nothing short of disgraceful.Nevertheless, having come this far with her act, she knew all her efforts would be in vain if she gave up now. So, she had no choice but to keep playing her part.Instead of pulling away from Justin, she even curved her lips slightly in a faint smile."Hi, Mr. Jasper." Mr. Jasper? Jasper's expression darkened. His fists clenched, his eyes unreadable. "W-What are you two up to?" he asked hoarsely.Justin's eyes twinkled slightly as he maintained his calm, elegant smile. "I hosted a guest at Seaview Manor tonight. We happened to discuss a business partnership, so I invited Lyse over for dinner as well."W

    A vicious gleam flickered in Justin's eyes. He cast a brief glance at Alyssa, who had her back turned to him and Rafe, before lowering his voice. "Let's talk about this another time." "Why wait? Alyssa spun around suddenly, her tone sharp. "Is it because I'm in the way, Mr. Beckett? You can't talk freely with me here?"A faint smile curved her lips. "It seems Mr. Beckett and I are merely collaborators, not true partners. I suppose you and Mr. Gentry have plenty of secrets between you—ones you'd rather keep from me."Rafe let out a dry laugh, darting a cautious glance at Justin. "That's quite an exaggeration, Ms. Alyssa."But Alyssa had already pieced things together. Outwardly, Rafe was the government official and should've been the one with higher standing. Yet in reality, Justin was the one in control.Justin's evasiveness about the research center confirmed it for her—there was something hidden beneath the surface, something murky, perhaps even illicit. Otherwise, why couldn

    After hearing that, Alyssa did not refuse further. She knew this would come up again even if she refused now. Justin might appear carefree, but he was actually stubborn and malicious deep down. He would stop at nothing to get his way. Moreover, Alyssa had accepted Justin's help so Winston could recover soon. It would be too narrow-minded of her to turn him down over such a trivial invitation. …At 6:00 pm sharp, Alyssa's luxury car glided slowly into Seaview Manor. She gazed out the window at the familiar sight, reminded of the times when she and Jasper had lived here as a married couple. The moments they shared were bitter, sorrowful, and happy.Tears welled up automatically, and she lowered her eyes to conceal the sorrow. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to the man next to her, surprised, and saw him presenting a clean, nice-smelling, white handkerchief. "I wouldn't have arranged this dinner at home if I'd known it would make you feel so uncomfortable to

    News of Beckett Group and KS Group joining forces and amicably agreeing to collaborate on Project A5 spread across the entire country. It was excellent news for Beckett Group, and KS Group's share price surged, hitting the daily limit.Although Alyssa had stepped back from competing for Project A5, she still led KS Group in an impressive campaign. Her name became widely recognized, not only in Solana City but nationwide.Yet her heart was heavy, and she felt no inclination to celebrate.As the president of KS Group, she had not prioritized the company's interests. Instead, she had allowed personal motives to influence her decisions. For Winston's sake, she couldn't refuse Justin's offer. Furthermore, in order to expose his schemes and reclaim everything Jasper had lost, she had no choice but to temporarily set aside the company's benefit.Her goal was to infiltrate Justin's inner circle by gaining his trust, hoping he would lead her into the dark, filthy core of his business op

    While Alyssa smiled sweetly, she was sharp enough to notice that Mandy didn't look too well. As she stepped into the room, she asked softly, "Mandy, are you feeling unwell?" Mandy ran her hand over her cold cheeks and let out a bitter chuckle. "Winston is severely ill. I probably don't look too good because I haven't been sleeping well lately."Alyssa was not only perceptive but had also overheard Mandy's earlier phone conversation through the door.She'd caught fragments of phrases like "trailing them" and "lost them". Suddenly, it all clicked.Stepping closer, she whispered, "Mandy, are you worried about Damien?"Mandy's eyes widened, though her gaze flickered evasively. "Damien… Of course, I miss him. He's been through so much. I often dream of him… I see him in my dreams."Alyssa's voice turned stern. "Mandy, please tell me the truth. Are you secretly following Remy?"Mandy froze. "Lyse, how did you—""I overheard bits of your conversation earlier. I just pieced it togethe
