"Lyse, what's wrong?" Jameson noted the change in Alyssa's expression and asked with concern.She stated, "I've never blocked Jasper on my phone. Why is his contact in my blocked list?" Her piercing gaze landed on Jameson's innocent face."Lyse …""Did you do that?" She cut to the chase. "I did not contact anyone except for you tonight. Jasper claimed that he called me throughout the night but couldn't reach me because his number was blocked."Jameson balled his fists on his knee. There was a glint in his eyes.She squinted at him and recalled, "I remember that I left my phone when I used the restroom at the restaurant. Did you take the chance to block his number?""Lyse, are you suspecting me now?" Jameson stared at her with innocent-looking bright eyes."I am not suspecting you. I am merely stating the truth," Alyssa countered harshly.Jameson felt a weight on his chest that nearly crushed him. He began, "Lyse, I shouldn't have touched your phone, but I didn't want him interr

The online buzz surrounding Zoe and Jasper's "rendezvous" continued to escalate. Both the Beckett Group and the Harper Group PR teams worked tirelessly to mitigate the controversy. Still, the widespread dissemination of videos and photos made it difficult to quell the public discussion.Even if they managed to take relevant hashtags off the trending topics, they couldn't stop people from discussing it.Penelope dropped her phone in shock and slipped down the stairs when she saw the trending topics. Thankfully, she was near the landing and merely stumbled a few steps down. Still, she suffered from a sprained ankle and hurt her head.Landon was badly shocked by his mom's injuries and sent her to the hospital overnight.Penelope, while on an IV drip, held Landon's hands tightly and sobbed. "Landon, what do we do? Zoe is only 22. How is she going to live her life with this stain? What can I say to your grandpa and your dad?"Then, she cried hysterically. Landon swallowed hard and sat

Preston lounged on the couch, lazily peeling a tangerine he plucked from the fruit plate. "You know, I think Jasper Beckett should marry Zoe."Cornelius' eyebrows shot up at the statement, and Zoe couldn't contain a quiet grin in Cornelius' arms."Sure, Jasper might be an out-of-wedlock son, which isn't ideal, but Justin Beckett is unwell. Sooner or later, the company will be Jasper's. If Zoe marries him, she'll inherit Beckett Group. Not a bad deal at all," Preston remarked, crossing his legs and stuffing a piece of fruit into his mouth."Uncle Preston, what are you even saying …" Zoe bit her lower lip and blushed."I've thought it over. We'll make an announcement saying that you've been dating Jasper for a while now, but we kept it private because we didn't want to take up the press space."Two single adults sharing a room is pretty normal, isn't it? Is there a need for public outrage? Look how badly they've scared Zoe," Preston added. He was in charge of entertainment and PR ag

Preston's expression twisted as he exited Cornelius' place. His shocked secretary trailed closely behind and questioned, "Mr. Preston, I overheard most of your conversation with Mr. Landon in the study. Why would you support Ms. Zoe's marriage to Mr. Beckett? You clearly knew that—""And do you really believe Jasper Beckett would marry Zoe?" Smirking, Preston added, "Jasper has gotten himself into trouble many times because of Alyssa Taylor. Not long ago, he even risked his life to save her from an attack."Those two are obviously involved with each other. Zoe is deluded in this one-sided love. I am certain Jasper Beckett will not agree to marry Zoe, and that is precisely why I'm endorsing the marriage. I plan to exploit the strain between Landon and Jasper for my benefit.""That's clever!" the secretary praised. A glint appeared in Preston's eyes. "Romance has always been the most effective tool to pit two men against each other."Just as he prepared to descend the stairs, an idea

"Lyse, you're awesome!" Cyrus exclaimed. He was seated in a corner of the KS World Hotel café with Alyssa.He laid out a few photos on the table and remarked, "As you have predicted, the culprit has a secret room at his house where he kept Sophia Kirkman's photos. He's not a loyal fan of Lyla like he claimed, but a fanatic supporter of Sophia Kirkman."Alyssa pursed her lips and said in a hushed voice, "Cyrus, have you found any other important clues?"After some hesitation, Cyrus showed her a transparent evidence bag. The bag contained a platinum necklace studded with diamonds. The design of the jewelry was rather outdated, and the quality was not the best.Cyrus explained, "I found this necklace at the attacker's place. He carefully stored it in a case, so I assume it's very important to him."Alyssa always had a sharp memory. Somehow, the necklace looked familiar to her. She quickly looked through some of the photos."Look, Sophia has worn this necklace before. It's the same o
