It had been three days since Josh last returned.That day, Clarissa received news that he would be back, so she went to the mall in the afternoon and bought an extremely sexy set of black lace lingerie.Not only that, she also managed to acquire a drug that could make men insatiable.After being toyed with by Josh for two years, her body was covered in scars. In his eyes, she was nothing but a tool for his pleasure, devoid of any attractiveness.So, she had to do something about it.However, if she wanted to enter Josh's study, she would have to make the move to seduce him.Time was running out, but regardless of the risks, she had to succeed in one go.That evening, Josh returned to Schmidt Manor.As soon as he came back, he went straight to his study, not even sparing a glance at Clarissa.After bathing with rose water, Clarissa applied body lotion from head to toe and wrapped herself in a robe. With the "chicken soup" she had prepared in hand, she mustered up the courage to

Jameson elegantly raised his wine glass. His eyes were tinged with a hint of laziness. "What activities?""Mr. Cornelius is getting on in years and wants to step down. He's already decided to designate Landon as his successor, appointing him as the president of Harper Group and vice chair of the board."The news has spread throughout Harper Group. Once the board meeting next week concludes, Landon will officially take office.""Is that new? Everyone in the circle knows about it." Jameson sneered."At this critical moment, there's fierce infighting within Harper Group. After Mr. Bill's death, Preston, as Mr. Cornelius's only son, didn't get to inherit the throne. He can only watch the younger generation rise above him. He's probably boiling with anger right now.""What's the use of being angry when he's incompetent? If Preston was capable, he should have gotten his hands on the throne when Landon's father died. He wouldn't have to suffer being surpassed by the younger generation."

"If I can't handle it, no one else in the world can," Alyssa huffed confidently."Jonah and I can't be by your side to protect you. Don't act recklessly, okay? Think about the consequences."When you encounter problems, don't try to handle them all by yourself. Communicate with us, or ask your man for advice. Let him take some hits for you.""Dad, Jasper is my love, not a human shield. What's with this talk about taking hits?" Alyssa pouted with frustration.However, Jasper remained unfazed. His eyes were filled with gentleness. "Don't worry, Winston. Even if there's a hail of bullets, I'll stand in front of Lyse and ensure her safety."Alyssa's eyes became teary, and she felt a warm sensation in her chest. She nestled into Jasper's arms, feeling like a drifting boat had found a permanent harbor."Mr. Beckett."Suddenly, Winston addressed Jasper with such seriousness that his whole body tensed up.He quickly responded, "Yes, Mr. Taylor.""My buttercup is still young. She's imp

The punch he had just taken didn't inflict as much damage on Jameson as this scene did."Mr. Schmidt! Are you okay?" Carl, who was waiting in the shadows, was shocked. He rushed over to support his boss."I'm fine."Jameson staggered to his feet and swallowed the blood in his mouth. His gaze fixed on Jasper with a fierce and menacing intensity, like that of a starving hyena deprived of meat for days."If you're not convinced, we can settle it one-on-one."Jasper's gaze turned cold, and his imposing presence exerted daunting pressure on Jameson's chest. "I won't use my hands."Hearing that, Alyssa anxiously grabbed Jasper's tightly tensed arm, her eyes wide with worry.In her mind, she was scolding him for being lenient with this viper. He should just pin Jameson down and beat him to a pulp."Hah… No need for that."Jameson didn't want to fight Jasper in front of Alyssa, so he swallowed his anger and wiped away the blood from his lips. "I just had a stroke of bad luck and got b

"Jasper, Lyse!"Upon hearing that, the Beckett couple turned back simultaneously. Their faces showed delight when they saw the newcomers. "Landon, Lauren!"Under the dazzling lights, Landon, dressed in a sharp suit, held hands with his petite wife as they approached Jasper and Alyssa with a happy smile.They looked every bit like sweet newlyweds.Lauren obediently followed him. She was wearing an elegant, light purple dress. Adorning her updo was the clear quartz hair clip that Landon had given her, which she loved and wore almost every day.Although she was still somewhat shy and nervous, she had improved significantly compared to how she would hide away at the sight of people.Most importantly, she wasn't holding the teddy bear tonight.Alyssa felt really happy for Lauren.In a sense, Lauren's condition had improved. It was evident that Landon truly doted on her, loved her, and gave her an irreplaceable sense of security.As Landon proudly appeared with his beloved, it inevi
