Chapter 1929

작가: Ginger Sue
Zoe exclaimed, "Landon! Where are you taking me? What else are you going to do to me?"

Just moments ago, Zoe was still causing a racket. Now, she was completely terrified. Yet, she remained stubborn and refused to beg for forgiveness. She shouted from behind Landon, "Have you forgotten the oath you pledged before Dad's grave?

"You said you would love and protect me all your life! Is this how you keep your promise to our dead father?"

Upon hearing that, Landon stopped in his tracks.

A million thoughts bombarded his mind. He felt like his heart was sinking in quicksand; exhaustion gnawed at him from all the struggling he'd been forced to do.

Slowly, with trembling hands, he unfurled his palms. These were the hands that once wove through his younger sister's silky hair, hands that fed her, cradled her, and hoisted her high in the air. Hands that, in happier times, grasped hers as they raced through the park, laughter echoing in their wake.

He was her older brother. Yet, he had ta

  • Can't Win Me Back   Chapter 2492

    "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

    Beckett Group and KS Group would hold their grand contract-signing ceremony at Berenike Hotel's banquet hall in three days.Once signed, the contract would formally cement the deep alliance between the two corporations, making them mutual beneficiaries of Project A5. 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. The collaboration between two major corporations was a spectacle worth capturing.At 3:00 pm sharp, the emcee gave the opening remarks. Justin and Alyssa then walked onto the stage side by side, immediately engulfed by a wave of blinding camera flashes.Justin, sharp and elegant in his tailored suit, gave Alyssa a subtle smile before pulling out a chair for her in a gentlemanly gesture.Alyssa's gaze flickered as she sat down gracefully. 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. He truly appreciates your abilities and sincerely hopes you'll join him on this journey."If you work with Mr. Beckett, not only will your lab's financial issues be reso

    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
