LOGINJasper's heart sank at Sylas' words.He knew that there was no immediate solution for Renee's condition, but Sylas' team was the one who had developed the memory grafting solution. In other words, anyone else could say the same thing, and it would just be a negative supposition, but if Sylas said it, it was the concrete truth.He hence stayed silent, staring blankly on the table.Conrad and Caspian traded glances, feeling bad for the man.Conrad then pointed out, "Well, Renee's just fine. It's just amnesia—take her somewhere you guys have been often, and she might remember."Caspian nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, it's just amnesia—the main point is she's alive."However, as they really weren't aware of the full extent of Renee's condition, their attempts at comfort only sent a chill down Jasper's spine.Still, Sylas was sharp enough to notice Jasper's silence and quickly ask, "Is Renee suffering from side effects? Is she having splitting headaches from time to time?"Jasper remain
Madam Holbrook sighed, seeing that Sylas was remorseful. "If Jasper didn't think of you as a brother, would he have entrusted you with his fiancee's life? She was pregnant too, and that means he trusted you to protect two lives. And you still thought he doesn't trust you?!"It was a wake-up call for Sylas that left him stunned, his eyes wide as he slid limply off his chair, his tears raining like a broken string of pearls.Suddenly, he started to bawl out loud and kept slapping himself. "No… It's all my fault… I'm a jerk, I'm so sorry…"-In the evening, Sylas' face was red and swollen when he returned to stand before Jasper.Caspian was shaking his leg, munching on a grape, and spat a seed into the bin loudly. He rolled his eyes at Sylas, looking like he would really rather have spat at Sylas' face instead.Conrad eventually sighed. "What is it?"Sylas still stared fixedly at Jasper and dropped to his knees as the trio looked on.His knees struck the floor so loudly as he di
The guards outside heard the commotion and rushed in, quickly calling for an ambulance when they saw that Madam Holbrook passed out.Meanwhile, Conrad sighed from the first floor. "Sylas would definitely demand to go to the hospital with her."Caspian snorted. "Dream on! That ingrate deserves to be locked up in that room!"Even now, it was frustrating to think that they had all given Sylas their hearts, only for him to turn against them.That was when Jasper took a sip of his vodka and said quietly, "Just let him go.""Shit!" Caspian cursed as he sprang to his feet, smacking the table and pointing at Jasper as he snapped, "Let him go?! Are you trying to play saint even now?! Don't you see what he thinks of us?! He's just going to bolt!"While Conrad looked somber but kept quiet, Jasper pointed out, "Tom Grayson was his ally, and with Tom arrested, he's not getting anywhere. And you saw the footage… Madam Holbrook is innocent, and she might persuade him if we let them stay togethe
Madam Holbrook tugged on Sylas' hand as she demanded, "What's going on here?! Did you cause more trouble for Jas now?!"Sylas shook her hand off right then and snapped angrily, "Why do you always side with Jasper, Grandma? They've never once considered me a friend! They were deceiving you—"Smack!Madam Holbrook had slapped Sylas audibly across the face before he could finish and snapped, "You fool! Just listen to yourself! When you were away, Jasper, Conrad, and Caspian always came to visit an old bag like me, taking me out on walks or just keeping me company!"Each of them has been a better grandchild to me than you have! And I know for a fact that they do it for your sake! Heck, when the village bullies tried to harass me, they would beat them up for me! When our cattle got stolen, they brought them back!"Sylas, however, was defiant and wringing his hands as he bellowed, "Why would you remember such ancient history?! They have money and power! Helping you is just a matter of t
Sylas was seeing stars from the beating and wheezing as he leaned against the closet. "You want me to help after you dragged me here and beat me up? Dream on…"Caspian saw red right then. "We're being too nice, aren't we?!"As he snarled and stood akimbo, he looked around but found nothing that he could pummel Sylas with.Fuming, he kicked and punched Sylas instead. "Unconscientious piece of shit! I'll just have to beat the shit out of you!"Jasper was narrowing his eyes at Sylas and took a puff on his cigarette before snuffing it out with his fingers. "I'm giving you one chance considering we were brothers once. Luke, we're leaving."He was out of patience and not about to keep fighting against Sylas' stubbornness.Once Luke wheeled Jasper out of the room, Conrad strode up and glared downward at Sylas. "You can doubt Jasper, but you're not going to doubt family too, are you?"And with those words, he turned to leave.Sylas looked utterly bemused. "Family? What the hell are you
Jasper's gaze was troubled as he stared at Sylas, unable to get up from the pain. "Remember Dharma, where both Conrad and I were blindsided and maimed? You were so traumatized that you lay sick for a week upon seeing how our men were massacred. That was when we agreed to keep you out of the loop when it came to the gnarly stuff."Furious, Sylas snapped, "I practice medicine! Why would I get spooked by death?!"Seething, Caspian leaped up and kicked him again. "Well, we don't fucking get it too! Why are you so scared of seeing death when you practice medicine?! But you definitely got fucking traumatized, and what do you expect us to say to that?! "Heck, you're both scared of getting killed and seeing death! That's why we, as your brothers, decided to protect you, keeping you far from bloodshed! And last but most importantly…"Caspian then paused, musing to himself and turned to Jasper. "Ugh. You tell him, Jas."Jasper's eyes narrowed darkly, but said, "You're a doctor, and your h
There was just absolutely no way Alison could do it."Too busy? Forget it, then. I'll ask someone else." Renee hung up. She opened her contacts and quickly phoned two other friends to come over.After the calls were done, she turned around, only to be greeted with a shocking sight.Jasper was alr
Luke had originally planned that once Alison went upstairs, even if Jasper didn't want to meet her, he could just pretend he couldn't stop her. To his surprise, the one who showed up was Renee.What was he supposed to do now?"Ms. Whitley, please come with me." Luke led her to the lounge. "Have
"Alright. I'm in too.""Raise.""I'll raise as well.""One million!"Maybe because everyone had strong hands this round, only three players folded. After two rounds of betting, no one was ready to show their cards yet. Some started getting suspicious and peeked at other players' cards. Another t
Renee didn't say a word.More accurately, she didn't even get the chance to. Before she could say anything, Adam had already rushed out with Kayla in his arms.There were plenty of people in the private room; when they saw this, their expressions revealed a mix of emotions."Wait, isn't Adam Rene
