Vincent led Alyssa and Ada to the backstage dressing room, where they chatted and sipped champagne.After a while, Ada's manager summoned her for an important interview, leaving only Alyssa and Vincent in the room."It's been three years since we last met. How have you been, Alyssa?" Vincent gave her a fatherly look, devoid of any romantic passion."Just like what you see. I'm still the old me." Alyssa opened her arms with a cool smile."You seem more worldly than three years ago. I can see in your weathered eyes that you went through a lot. Where did you go in the three years you vanished? Did you travel the world for inspiration?" Vincent detected a hint of melancholy in her expression and asked with genuine concern."Nah, I did not go traveling. I wasted three years working as a slave, and I'm completely burned out." Alyssa let out a sigh with an empty look in her eyes."You're as funny as before." He clinked glasses with her and chuckled. "When do you plan to reveal your iden

Jasper found himself standing before Alyssa, vulnerable and defenseless against her barrage of verbal attacks. She was right, though. He was the reason behind the shitty things she had to endure."Alyssa, there's nothing between me and Zoe. I only see her as a little sister!" His ears reddened from the anxiety as he struggled to make his point.Normally, he wouldn't bother explaining himself, but he was at his wit's end this time."Why bother telling me? It's not my concern," Alyssa snapped, her patience waning as she shot him a look of disdain. "I couldn't care less about your relationship with her, and I certainly don't want to hear your explanation. Let go. I'm going to watch the show.""Do you not care? If so, why did you have to bring it up? You mentioned it once at the police station and again this time!" He was resentful at the misunderstanding between them. His eyes brimmed with tears from the upsetting situation, and his shoulders quivered. He added, "If you care about w

When Alyssa heard from Vincent that Ada had left the show, she ran to the underground parking with Sean in search of Ada. At that moment, Ada had entered her private van with a foul expression.As the door rolled to a close, a pair of pale hands gripped it and slid it open."Madam Ada, we know you're furious at the trending topics. I feel the same because the photos have been leaked! KS World Hotel has no idea about the leak!" Alyssa spoke through heavy breaths after running all the way. She was sweaty,Ada gave her an amused look. She was a professional at keeping her composure after 30 years of acting.Instead of launching a tirade, she remarked, "Ms. Alyssa, I trust that you are unaware of the leak because we've signed an agreement to keep it a secret and also because of your principles. Otherwise, you wouldn't have won Mr. Carter's approval."Sean's eyes lit up upon hearing that. He misread Ada's tone, thinking there was a chance of turning things around. However, he was imm

The following day, Xavier hurriedly knocked on Jasper's office door at the Beckett Group, announcing, "Mr. Beckett, you wanted me to look into—Argh!"Xavier trailed off with a scream. It was too late to stop Jasper, who was seated on the table and casually lifting a pastry out of the dirty box.With a satisfied crunch, Jasper took a massive bite of the pastry and scrunched up his eyes in enjoyment."Oh god! How could you eat the food you picked from the trashcan?" Xavier warned him."Only the box is dirty. The pastries are fine," Jasper replied nonchalantly as he took another bite.The pastries tasted delightful, but too bad they weren't for him. Bitterness welled up inside him. He had once been dismissive of Alyssa's daily efforts in crafting these desserts. Now, he found himself rummaging through the trash can just to get a taste. How did he get to this point?"Go ahead. How's the investigation?" Jasper put away the remaining pastries and questioned leisurely."Ahem. After u

"Well, it's not 'The Ring' anymore. It's straight up some 'Insidious' shit." Jonah took a sip of the red wine, still in the mood for a joke. With him and Silas around, Jasper wouldn't dare pull anything—unless he wanted to be crucified."Is that bastard knocking on your door? Screw him! Grab your weapons!" Silas cursed but continued to type away on the keyboard, his eyes glued to the screen."What weapon? Your keyboard, you mean?" She shook her head and rose with a frustrated expression. "He's come for me, so I'll be the one to show him the door. I'll go downstairs and check out the situation."She went to the entrance alone and pressed the intercom button. Jasper's indifference immediately showed up on the screen."Why are you here?" Her eyes held no emotion, as though she was staring at a complete stranger. "Aren't there other places to visit in Solana City? Why do you keep coming to my place?""Alyssa, come out. Let's talk," he said, brushing off her taunt."Why can't we tal
