LOGINJasper gazed into Remy's frosty eyes. "What about you? How did you end up following Justin?"Remy's eyes were dark, like a bottomless abyss devoid of light. "To be frank, I have no idea."Jasper frowned. "You don't?""When I came to, I was lying in a special ward. It didn't look like a hospital ward—more like a regular room with a really nice ambience. I couldn't move a muscle. My entire body was connected to tubes, and I was in so much pain that it felt as if all the bones in my body had been shattered and reconstructed…"Remy thought back to the ward that was filled with sunlight—the place where he first met Justin. The lake outside the window was as clear as glass, and he could see the shadows of trees swaying back and forth. Justin sat in his wheelchair by the window, backlit by the sun. He greeted Remy warmly. "Wonderful. You're finally awake. All that hard work wasn't wasted."Over the next six months, Justin visited him almost daily. He talked with him, brought him delici
Though the buzz in the helicopter cabin was deafening, the moment Remy uttered those words, it was as if everything fell completely silent. To be frank, deep down in Jasper's heart, he was slowly beginning to rediscover his feelings for Alyssa. In fact, his frozen heart fluttered every time he laid eyes on her. Whenever he saw her with Justin, his heart would race uncontrollably, and a throbbing pain would pulse through his head.If he hadn't forced himself to suppress his feelings, the violent headache—so intense it felt as if his skull might shatter—would make death seem like mercy. The pain was unbearable, making his limbs cramp and his breathing difficult. So how could he possibly go against Justin or protect Alyssa?"Some things aren't just about letting someone down. It's not that simple."Jasper's eyes dimmed slightly. With practiced precision, he used a pair of tweezers to remove the bullet lodged deep in Remy's left shoulder. Even so, Remy only furrowed his brow slightl
On the screen of Justin's phone, the incoming call showed a private number. Justin's eyes darkened, and the muscles along his chiseled jaw tightened. He slowly picked up his phone and swiped to answer. "Hello?" From the other end came Zachary's relaxed, mocking voice. "How have you been, my dear Justin?" Justin inhaled sharply but remained silent for a beat. In a falsely light-hearted tone, he replied, "I've been well. Thanks for asking, Uncle Zachary." "Blood is thicker than water. We're family. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."Zachary chuckled. Then he continued, "I heard about what happened in Solana City tonight, even though I'm all the way in Mosgravia. As the mastermind, you actually staged such an exciting police raid for the members of Kings' Club."How much did you lose this time? One billion dollars? Or two? That's too much for you to make up for, isn't it?"All the color drained from Justin's face. He clenched his fists, his knuckles crack
But in the end, this was all Remy's fault. He was the traitor. With Remy as her scapegoat, Justin would likely not be too harsh on her, even if he held her accountable for the disaster. After all, he had lost Remy—one of his right-hand men. He would have to keep her, his remaining right-hand confidant, close. …In the dimly lit study on the top floor of the six-story manor, Justin's usual elegance and composure had vanished. In their place was an unprecedented fury bordering on madness.The study looked as though it had been ravaged by war. The destruction was appalling.Sheryl stood there, pale as a sheet, trembling uncontrollably."Get on your knees." Justin stood by the window, gripping the sill so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. The tension in his neck and shoulders was unmistakable. Even beneath his white shirt, his muscles quivered faintly. Sheryl could not clearly see his expression. Fortunately, she could not—otherwise, she might have been t
A deafening boom rang out. Hand grenades blasted open the laboratory's locked doors at the main entrance. Fully armed Special Forces members stormed into the building, guns raised.They conducted a thorough sweep of the premises, inside and out, surrounding the underground laboratory from all sides. Outside, subordinates who resisted were shot on the spot, while those wounded were immediately arrested.Cyrus, the commander of the raid under the operation codename "The Dawn", did not remain at the mobile command centre at the foot of the mountain. Instead, he joined the frontliners in arresting the criminals and rescuing the victims."Chief Taylor, we have searched every room in the building, but we haven't found anyone suspicious.""Chief Taylor, there's another door leading to a secret passage two levels below. They have probably escaped through that exit. We have already contacted our colleagues stationed at the foot of the mountain and instructed them to guard all exits ther
"Jasper…" Remy muttered under his breath, narrowing his eyes slightly. Gusts of wind howled from the sky to the forest floor. Jasper and Remy exchanged a knowing look and smiled. In that gaze of absolute trust, nothing more needed to be said. Jasper stood at the helicopter's cabin door, clad in a fitted tactical outfit that accentuated the taut lines of his muscles. He wore black cargo pants and a pair of sturdy military boots. The dazzling moonlight cast a cold sheen over him, highlighting his aloofness and ferocity. He was like an unsheathed blade, gleaming with icy brilliance that compelled others to lower their eyes.Remy let out a soft chuckle. "He's pretty cool."The compliment came straight from the heart. In truth, Remy had never praised anyone before. It was almost an honor to receive such words from him. Though the helicopter hovered midair, Jasper stood steady at the cabin door. In one fluid motion, he raised his gun. Calm and precise, he pulled the trigger, his
Alyssa was always ready to break things off with Jasper. So she had to carry her marriage certificate around. The marriage certificate had become a tool to expose the truth and reveal the misdeeds of these women! The Kirkman sisters had no way to refute it. After all, Alyssa and Jasper were still le
"I-I …" Tears welled up in Lauren's eyes as she choked on her words."You just want to go against our wishes! Since we look down on Alice, you decide to help her out. All because you wanted to show how special you are! Do you really think you're a heroine for doing that?" Betty's pretty face was now
Jasper returned to Seaview Manor, completely drenched. Rosie hurried over with a cloth, but he waved her away. He headed upstairs with a long face."W-What's wrong with him? Did someone offend him?" Rosie asked in concern. "You should comfort him later. He had been deceived," responded Xavier."Huh?
As the night fell, they arrived at the ACE. It was one of Landon's properties. Jasper was feeling extremely depressed. So, he did something he had never done before—he went out to drink with his friends. Landon picked him up personally. Jasper rarely took the initiative to contact him. "Sometimes, I
