"I'd never fall for the same trap twice!" Alyssa thought determinedly.At that moment, she got messages from the "Taylor Family's Secret Society."Jonah: "Lyse, remember how they exposed the dirt on you yesterday? They've been deleted now, including the accounts. Jasper did it."Alyssa: "Wow, I'm so grateful to him."Axel: "What? Does he think everything's settled just because they've been deleted? Naive."Liam: "Too bad the Beckett Group's stock price only had a small effect this morning."Silas: "Lyse, even if we can't do anything to him right now, we should teach the Gardners a lesson."Alyssa: "That's for sure. I hold grudges, and they must pay."Alyssa called Sean. "Sean, spare me a moment."Sean entered the office promptly. "You called for me, Ms. Alyssa?""Have you prepared the materials and evidence as I told you?" Alyssatwirled in her seat with her arms on the armrest."Yes, I have everything ready to hand them over to the related department whenever you want.""No

Jasper kneaded his brows and muttered, "Alyssa Taylor … I feel like I've heard the name before." "I've researched more about Ms. Alyssa," Xavier said. Jasper's eyes lit up. He was pleased that the usually slow secretary was finally one step ahead of him at doing things."Tell me what you found.""In the end, I found nothing." Xavier's shoulders drooped, and he spread his hands.Jasper said, "Xavier, I believe you can get your early salary payment from the HR department." He seemed calm."Calm down, Mr. Beckett! It's not that I didn't investigate, but finding info on Ms. Alyssa is like searching for a top-secret file. It's just not available, so there's not much I can do."Xavier felt scared. He wiped off his sweat nervously. Xavier continued, "Don't you think that it's strange? She's Mr. Taylor's first wife's only daughter, but I can't find any information about her online. I even searched through all social media platforms. Yet, I still got nothing! I wonder if she lives in

"Jasper, have you looked into the matter? What's happening?" asked Javier while comforting Sophia."The culprit is Alyssa Taylor, the newly appointed general manager of KS Group." Jasper dropped his gaze to the ground. He didn't want to see the affectionate scene between Javier and Sophia. Javier had never treated him and his mother well when he was younger. Jasper suspected that Javier had long forgotten what his mother looked like."KS Group … The Taylors in Belbanks?" gasped Sophia. She covered her mouth. "That's the richest family in Belbanks! How did Lia offend them?""Our families have been on bad terms due to past issues between our ancestors. Their great-grandmother even swore not to have a marriage alliance with our family. Anyone who goes against that rule must cut ties with the family."Jasper was unbothered by that. His fiancée was Liana, not anyone from the Taylor family.However, those words still affected him, and he felt a surge of coldness. "Geez! I bet the

The next morning, Jasper dressed himself neatly. He appeared more dependable and sophisticated in his suit. He was going to KS World Hotel in the best state possible.Upon entering the lobby, he felt relaxed. Last year, he had visited the place and criticized it for being shabby and in need of many touch-ups. However, now it seemed like a whole new place. It was on par with five-star hotels.The new general manager seemed capable. Jasper believed he shouldn't underestimate her."This is the president of Beckett Group. Please relay the message that he would like to meet with Ms. Alyssa," Xavier said. Xavier faced many hurdles to reach Alyssa's administrative secretary, Avery."I'm sorry, but it's impossible without an appointment." Avery was being polite."The president of Beckett Group needs an appointment too?" Xavier's brows furrowed. "Why not?""You!" His face turned red with anger. He desperately wanted to file a complaint. "I'll make an appointment now. When can I m

After the call with Jonah, Sean entered the office impatiently."Ms. Alyssa, Jasper Beckett is here again! He's quite brazen, isn't he? It's a shame that he's not an insurance agent," Sean said. "I'm impressed by his determination. He's able to go this far for his loved one."Alyssa kept signing the documents without looking up. Nevertheless, Sean noticed the bitterness in her indifferent tone. He wondered if it was just his imagination. "Ms. Alyssa, I will personally make sure he doesn't come back this time.""No. Bring Jasper here." Alyssa capped the pen and arched a brow."What?" Sean was surprised."He genuinely wants to meet me. I guess I should spare the president of Beckett Group some courtesy, shouldn't I?"Alyssa leaned forward and stretched her legs. Sean hurried over and slid the heels onto her feet."Find a pretty lady with a sharp tongue. Look for one at the restaurants and cafés. I have something for her to do," Alyssa instructed. After over ten minutes, Sea

"M-Mr. Jasper … I'm out!" Xavier huffed. The hotel was a tall building with a dozen flights of stairs. By the time Xavier reached the 38th floor, he was huffing and puffing. His legs went weak. He almost keeled over. "Be a man. We have two floors to go. Hurry," Jasper urged emotionlessly as he continued to climb the stairs.He was 30 this year, only two years older than Xavier. He had been in the Peacekeeping Forces during his younger days. After retiring from the forces, he regularly worked out and practiced boxing. Thus, his stamina and tolerance were above average.He knew he could still do it even if he had to climb another 20 floors. After all, the night run in the forces was always more than 30 rounds on the field.Once they reached the 40th floor, Xavier sat on the stairs to catch his breath. Jasper shook his head at Xavier. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jasper," said a man who approached Jasper with a professional smile. His eyes made him look young. It was hard to guess

Alyssa burst into laughter. Mia had no choice but to laugh too. Jasper frowned. "I'll take that, but there's no need to feel shy. I can make more of this painting. You can have it." Alyssa's words carried hints of mockery. Upon hearing that, Jasper's expression went stiff as he balled his fists."You went through so much to meet me. I bet it's not for some paintings. Let's cut to the chase." She didn't have time to beat around the bush with him."Honestly, I'm here for the issue regarding Gardner Group. I hope you can stop oppressing them. There's room for negotiations." Jasper's tone was low, but his gaze was formidable. "After all, it will only do you good in Solana City if you work with us.""Do you call this an oppression, Mr. Jasper?" Alyssa was at a loss for words."I think it is an action of justice to reveal the underhanded sellers. It will be a wake-up call to our peers so that no one will repeat the mistakes that we did. They won't purchase products of bad quality and

Alyssa returned to her office.Mia approached her with wobbly legs. "I-I was so scared! Mr. Jasper is so good-looking! And there's this powerful presence about him! My cheeks were burning the moment I met him. D-Did I do well, Ms. Alyssa?""You did great." Alyssa handed her an envelope. "Take it. You've earned it.""T-Thank you, Ms. Alyssa!" Mia took the envelope and was surprised by its thickness.Just then, Sean handed her a document. It was a confidentiality agreement."I know you're trustworthy, but I think it's better to have an agreement for both parties' sake." Alyssa smiled faintly.She continued, "Everything that happened today must remain between us. Unless I reveal it myself, sharing this conversation with a third party would be a breach of the agreement. I will get to the bottom of it."Feeling overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation, Mia nodded and signed the papers. She promised to keep it a secret before leaving the office."The rumor has it that Jasper is a

The truth was, Jasper not only failed to experience true love, but he also felt increasingly helpless in this relationship.A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Jasper responded, and Xavier entered the office with a document."I've looked into it, Mr. Jasper. KS World Hotel returned Elysian Home's products and terminated all collaborations with Gardner Group nine days ago. Taylor Group hadn't exposed the quality issue to the media at that time. It was more of the public's assumptions."Jasper knew the series of events that took place after that. Next, Liana announced their wedding and hired ghostwriters to attack Alice. Only then did Taylor Group expose Gardner Group for their quality issue, leading to the current crisis. Gritting his teeth, Jasper took an aspirin to alleviate the headache. His hands were shaking. "I heard there was a vice general manager named Michael at KS World Hotel. He received a huge sum from Gardner Group before Ms. Alyssa was appointed. She fo

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? He's sharp and smart, though. He had been deceived? Have you reported to the police? We have to call the cops." Rosie was surprised.Xavier shook his head. "It's … It's complicated. The police can't do anything about it. Fortunately, justice prevailed over evil.""I told him to download an anti-scammer app long ago. He just wouldn't listen. Look at him now. He's a victim."Xavier smiled bitterly at the thought of Jasper having finally met his match. It wouldn't have been this serious if it was money-related, but the liar made use of Jasper's pride!… A pale-faced Jasper headed upstairs. He appeared lifeless."Mr. Jasper, Ms. Gardner is here. Mr. Javier is asking for you. He's
