Chapter 2157

Author: Ginger Sue
"Let's not sleep in separate rooms tonight. Sleep with me," Amber said, her voice laced with forced flirtation. She suppressed a wave of disgust, pain, and self-loathing as she invited Carl into her bed.

Her gaze, supposedly amorous, held a chilling undercurrent. Her eyes darted toward Carl's chest, where his cross necklace hung. She yearned to rip open his shirt with her eyes.

"Amber, what's wrong? Are you sick? Did you drink?" Carl asked, his voice hoarse and strained. He swallowed hard, his hand touching her forehead with practiced restraint.

"No, I'm sober. I know what I'm doing," Amber replied. Leaning in, she adopted a tender expression. "Marriage doesn't change us. We're already like husband and wife, aren't we? Sharing a bed seems natural."

She was desperate to find the evidence Carl had hidden. She didn't care about the cost, even if it meant sacrificing her battered body.

A sense of impending doom loomed over her; she feared neither she nor Carl would leave Kontina aliv

  • Can't Win Me Back   Chapter 2497

    Alyssa lifted her eyes icily, only to see Sheryl storming toward her in a fury. "Alyssa, you really are a freaking jinx!" While stomping in her direction, Sheryl shouted, "Mr. Jasper nearly lost his life several times back when you were still together. Now that you two have separated, you've dragged Mr. Justin into this because of the bad luck you carry with you. "Can't you stop jinxing others? Can't you just stay away from Mr. Justin? He wouldn't have been so badly hurt this time if he hadn't tried to protect you!""Well, it's not like I asked him to protect me," Alyssa replied coolly, crossing her arms over her chest. Alyssa leaned back casually against her chair, her gaze sharp and mocking as it swept over Sheryl's flushed face. "Mr. Justin is a well-respected man and the future heir of Beckett Group. Logically speaking, someone of such value should prioritize his own safety when facing danger."Seeing Alyssa's indifference only made Sheryl's lips tremble. She was on the v

    Inside the lounge, Justin removed his blazer, revealing the pristine white shirt and black vest beneath it.Alyssa's eyes widened slightly. Justin's clean, white shirt was riddled with slits from shattered glass. Jarring, ghastly bloodstains soaked the fabric, leaving her at a complete loss as to where to begin treating him. "What's wrong, Dr. Alyssa? Why are you so stupefied?" Justin curled his lips upward faintly, panting lightly. Even at a time like this, he was still teasing her. He continued, "Didn't someone say she was an amazing surgeon? Aren't you going to treat your patient's external injuries?" "Thank you, Mr. Beckett. Thank you very much." Alyssa snapped back to her senses and let out a bitter chuckle despite herself. "If you hadn't shielded me earlier, I'd be the one pierced by glass and looking like a porcupine right now." "Lyse." Justin leaned over the armrest of the couch, resting his sharp chin on his crossed arms. In a warm, low voice, he said, "All my life, I

    Instantly, 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
