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,

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

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

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

Alyssa, riding in her Rolls-Royce adorned with the Spirit of Ecstasy, made her way toward Belbanks. Sean, seated in the passenger seat, glanced at the rearview mirror repeatedly, his concern for Alyssa deepening with every look. She appeared dreadful—her face as pale as a white rose trembling in the freezing wind.There was a profound loneliness about her, as though she were on the verge of wilting away. Cautiously, Sean asked, "Ms. Alyssa, are you… are you alright?" Alyssa leaned her head against the icy car window. As the trees flashed past outside, Jasper's bandaged hand surfaced in her mind.She exhaled heavily, her chest feeling stifled as the wrenching pain in her heart intensified. Was he badly hurt? Was he in pain? Would his daily life be affected? He had already taken a bullet to the shoulder, been struck in the back by an arrow, and swallowed life-threatening medication that damaged his central nervous system—all because of her. With yet another injury added to th
