Chapter 961

Author: Ginger Sue
Jameson had his back facing them.

Amber pressed her lips tightly together. She handed the envelope to Carl for him to pass it to Jameson.

She used to be the only woman who could get close to Jameson besides Alyssa. She could have sat on his lap and flirted with him like his lover. She could have made harmless jokes with him without angering him.

Everyone who worked for Jameson would naturally assume Jameson loved and cared for her.

Only Amber knew deep down in her heart that she was nothing. She was not worthy to even carry Alyssa's shoes with her.

Jameson only took her as a cheap replacement. When he was happy, he would tease her and satisfy his desires. If he were upset, he would mistreat her. She was putty in his hands.

So, she no longer tried to get close to her. Even looking at him in the eye was terrifying for her.

Carl handed Jameson the envelope with both hands.

Jameson put his wine glass down. He took the envelope from Carl and opened it slowly.

Suddenly, Jameson

    Otherwise, if Jameson were to act on his rage, he would tear Jasper into shreds right before Alyssa."M-Mr. Schimdt, if I may …"Carl kept the syringe and wiped his sweat away. "I don't think you should use this anymore. This may bring you temporary gratification and is an effective pain reliever. However, this is still an illegal substance. This has not been tested through clinical trials in Mosgravia. We don't know the side effects of it.""I know. Just this once, and I won't use it ever again."Jameson closed his eyes. Finally, he sighed a breath of relief. "Why would a drug dealer be caught under the influence of drugs?"His Achilles heel was drugs. It was Alyssa."Send these photos to Winston anonymously."A devilish smile suddenly appeared on Jameson's face. He looked like he was poisoned, bloodthirsty, and crazy. "Winston loves his daughter to bits. He would never watch his precious daughter make the same mistake twice with his own eyes.""Okay, Mr. Schmidt."As Carl wa

    Landon sucked in a deep breath upon hearing that. Jasper had requested for a gun so nonchalantly. It was as if he was asking for a set of utensils."Tsulu has a nickname—the lawless territory. Jeffrey must be familiar with the place to choose to escape there. He probably has an accomplice to intercept him there. So, we can't let our guard down on this trip. We have to prepare for the worst."He ended the call solemnly. Shortly after that, Jasper received a call from Javier.Jasper's frown deepened. He ended Landon's call and answered Javier's call."Jasper, the chairman of Jesselton Incorporated in Mosgravia, wants to go on a video conference with us tomorrow afternoon. He wanted to discuss the strategy for our partnership with them and the Beckett Group's future advancement in Mosgravia. Both of us need to be present for this," Javier informed him coldly.Without a second thought, Jasper said, "I have an important matter to attend to tomorrow. I won't be able to attend it.""Wha

    Sean was still in the hospital, so Xavier came to pick them up.Both of them sat in the back. Jasper took a deep breath. He reached out and held Alyssa's cold hand.She didn't avoid it and let him hold her hand. She even let him intertwine his fingers with hers, feeling his warmth."Landon said he wanted to come, but I didn't let him," Jasper said softly."Okay, I understand why you did it. Landon is with Lauren now. He worried Lauren would feel sad if she saw what happened to Nina."Alyssa sighed. "After all, Nina had cared for Lauren for a long time. They were more than a servant and a master. They were friends."Her voice dropped as she spoke. She choked on her words slightly."Don't cry, Lyse."Jasper's heart ached intensely, feeling as if it were twisted. He twitched slightly, lifting his arm to wrap it around Alyssa's shoulder. He held her in his arms and consoled her. "Nina wouldn't want us to feel sad because of her."I'm sure she wants to see the beautiful, sassy, and

    Everyone present today was from the Taylor family.Jasper didn't avert his gaze. Instead, he walked confidently alongside Alyssa. The fact that he was the only outsider present didn't faze him; on the contrary, he felt more secure at that moment.Jasper wanted to be Alyssa's steadfast support and pillar. With him around, Alyssa could let her guard down and relax. Xavier followed behind Jasper. Seeing all of Alyssa's brothers, his head tingled, and his palms started sweating. He vowed to himself that he wouldn't marry a girl with so many brothers. It was too difficult."Lyse!"The crowd went toward Alyssa hastily and surrounded her.When the Taylors saw Jasper, their demeanors weren't exactly friendly. They would have closed the door on him and let the dog out if it were in the past."Thank you for your care and support during this time, everyone," Alyssa said.Then, she looked tenderly at Tatiana, who was pushing Sean over. She didn't blame Sean for calling the shots. "Thank y

    Nina's grandmother said tremblingly, "What's wrong?"Alyssa turned around and felt a lump in her throat when she saw the worry on the old woman's face. She quickly approached Nina's grandmother and held her hand, assuring her. "It's nothing. You don't have to worry about anything except for Nina's wake. We'll be here for you. You have nothing to fear."…Reporters swarmed the funeral home and aimed their cameras at Nina's funeral hall. To them, the funeral was excellent news material. Not only were important figures from the Beckett Group and the Taylor Group in attendance, but the deceased, Nina Carle, was the only witness of the shooting incident.Would that mean Nina's death had to do with the Becketts and the Taylors? The news would certainly cause an uproar because it implicated the wealthy in the death of a poor, innocent, working-class young woman. Besides, the murderer remained at large. Alyssa saw the situation coming. Sophia and Betty had leaked the news to the report

    The reporters nodded at Betty's remark with looks of approval. "Not only was Ms. Betty born to wealth, but she was also a kind and understanding young woman.""As Nina's employer, I should attend her funeral," Sophia sobbed in front of the cameras.The reporters questioned, "What will be the post-funeral arrangements?""Nina might have died in an accident, but the Beckett Group had a role to play because we failed to monitor the safety of our employees. We will offer compensation to her family. We cannot do anything to have Nina back, but we cherish our memories with her. So, we will do our best to assist her family. Hopefully, she will be at peace."The reporters sighed with a newfound admiration for Sophia.…Escorted by their bodyguards, Sophia and Betty entered the funeral home. The reporters followed closely with their cameras, hungry to get a scoop.Suddenly, Sophia and Betty looked petrified upon seeing the Taylor family members in black. Gripped by fear, their hearts nea

    What did Alyssa mean? Did Sophia and Betty play a role in Nina's death?Jasper's chest tightened. He looked at Alyssa's hateful face from the corner of his eye and quietly placed a hand on her waist. Feeling her body trembling, he held her tighter. The encouraging gesture offered her a boost of confidence.Jasper kept his silence not because he was concerned about keeping his image. He understood that Alyssa needed to confront Sophia to release her anger.Sophia and Betty looked mortified, and their expressions crumbled. They sensed the reporters' attention on them. It felt like shooting themselves in the foot."Ms. Alyssa, what do you mean? Do you really think we're responsible for Nina's death?" Sophia wondered, meeting Alyssa's hateful glance."It was a suggestion. I didn't accuse you of anything." Shrugging, Alyssa mocked them, "You seem quite panicked even when I did not accuse you. Are you really behind Nina's death?"The reporters exchanged looks and started taking photos

    Everyone fell into a prolonged silence out of shock. Even Alyssa's brothers were caught off guard by her sudden move. "Lyse …"They had never expected Alyssa to admit to her divorce in front of the media after how secretive she had been with the marriage. At that moment, she was fearless and honest.In the past, she had difficulty addressing her failed marriage because she perceived it as a shameful stain on her life. Now, she had put the feelings behind her and came to terms with the fact that she had met the right person at the wrong time.In the next second, the camera flashed at Alyssa and Jasper. Frowning, he shielded her from the attack like a fort."Ms. Alyssa, is that true? Were you married to Mr. Beckett?""Was it a secret marriage? When did you divorce? Any children?""What is the reason for the divorce? Was it because of Liana Gardner or another mistress?"The reporters flooded Alyssa with challenging questions.Jasper declared, "Lyse was not to be blamed for the div

    "Younger brother?" Jonah echoed. The mention of Damien brought a sharp pang to his chest. Memories of the plane crash flashed before his eyes. He continued, his voice tight with emotion, "Even if he is my brother, he allied with the devil and chose a corrupt path. I am severing ties with him!"With that, Jonah slammed his arm down, a decisive gesture."Jonah! No!" Jasper shouted.In the next instant, Remy, with an almost unnatural calm, grabbed the blade of the dagger with his bare hand. Blood began to flow from his palm.Jonah's heart twisted in agony. Family meant everything to him, yet here he was, inflicting harm on one of his own."I didn't come here to stop you," Remy said, his voice low and strained as he met Jonah's reddened eyes. "But I must stop both of you. This is my mission."Jonah stared at him, stunned. "Why—""Because I work for Sir. I have no choice but to follow orders."Turning to Jasper, Remy said, "Go." …After watching them leave, Remy trudged through

    Jasper and Jonah went to get Sebastian and Xavier out of the car. The four of them then bolted toward the other end of the alley. A clamor broke out behind them. Jasper glanced back, his heart pounding.Warmth surged through his hardened heart as he saw Axel holding his own in a brutal fight against over a dozen assassins, skillfully subduing them one by one."Jasper!" All of a sudden, Jonah stopped in his tracks. Jasper turned to see what had caught his attention, and his heart sank. Standing at the alley's end, silhouetted against the light, was a tall figure radiating a presence that commanded fear. Though the man's face was obscured, his unyielding presence was unmistakable. It was Justin's right-hand man, Remy."Mr. Beckett, w-what should we do?" Xavier stammered.With a fierce glint in his eyes, Jonah took a step forward. "I'll hold him back. The rest of you, keep going." "Xavier, take Dr. Bender to the press conference immediately. Don't let anything stop you." J

    "Maggie, I love you!" Xavier typed.Maggie replied, "Xave, you're not usually this corny. What happened?" Xavier couldn't bring himself to tell her that those words were his final ones if something happened to him.His phone buzzed again. It was Maggie sending another message that read, "I love you too, Xave." Tears filled Xavier's eyes. His lips quivered, and his heart raced. He cursed under his breath. It was time to go all out. With that, he grabbed the machete, swung open the car door, and swiftly took down two of Jasper's attackers.But Xavier wasn't a fighter. He had no real combat experience. It didn't take long before a blade sliced into his arm, the deep cut searing with pain.Jasper's eyes widened. He roared, "Xavier, get back in the car!"Distracted, Jasper's opponent swung a machete at his face. Xavier gasped, "Mr. Beckett!"Luckily, Jasper dodged the strike, his reflexes quick. He retaliated by snapping the attacker's arm.Xavier, pale and shaking with pain,

    Frightened out of his wits, Xavier yelped, covering his head and crouching low in his seat. It wasn't that he was a coward. He had been brave in the past, but this situation was unlike anything an ordinary person would face.Working for Jasper meant Xavier didn't have to worry about his livelihood, but every day was a gamble with danger. If this continued, he might have to keep Nitroglycerin on hand just to survive.Jasper, with his strong, muscular frame, shielded Sebastian beneath him.He knew the attackers were after Sebastian, the witness, aiming to eliminate anyone who could tip the scales against them. If they could take down Jasper too, or at least injure him severely, it would be a bonus.These people were ruthless. Sebastian, oblivious to the danger, was muttering the Lord's Prayer under his breath. He didn't know that the man protecting him was sometimes more powerful than any deity."Don't lift your heads! Arrows aren't like bullets—they can pierce glass but not the

    Time was ticking. The press conference was about to begin. Landon escorted Sebastian out of the manor and into Jasper's car. He glanced at Jasper, who sat in the back seat, his expression calm and composed.With concern etched on his face, Landon said, "Jasper, let me come with you. I can't feel at ease otherwise."Jasper met Landon's gaze, firm and aloof. "Don't worry, Landon. You've done enough. It's time for you to step back."If Landon continued to help, he would only get caught up in the chaos. Despite his current difficulty in articulating his feelings, Jasper couldn't forget that this was his best friend, the one he'd stood by for more than 20 years. Landon had endured so much to finally be happy with Lauren, and Jasper wasn't about to be the one to disrupt that hard-earned happiness. Understanding Jasper's stubbornness, Landon turned to Xavier. "Call me immediately if anything happens.""Don't worry, Mr. Harper," Xavier reassured. With that, Sebastian climbed into

    That said, this strategy came with its own risks. It was as if Jasper and Axel were placing all their bets on Remy for the time being."Justin doesn't control someone without a reason. Since he has control over Remy, he will make full use of him."Jasper's chest tightened, a weight pressing down on him like a massive rock. He continued, "The only way to find Amber is to understand Justin's intentions clearly."…The press conference was scheduled for 5:00 pm at Berenike Hotel's Conference Hall A on Saturday. At 3:00 pm sharp, Justin sat in the president's office at Beckett Group, his expression frigid. He sat upright on the couch while Sheryl, standing beside him, carefully tended to the wound on his left ear, changing its dressing with caution. It had been only two days since he was shot in the ear. His flesh had been stitched up, and the stitches looked like a grotesque centipede crawling along his ear. There was no way to conceal the injury unless he donned a shoulder-lengt

    "Remy beat Sheryl up?" Jasper repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. Having wiped away his tears, Axel leaned in to listen to the phone call."Yeah! I saw it with my own eyes in the surveillance footage. He punched her—brutally!" Xavier's voice was filled with astonishment. He exhaled sharply before continuing, "I thought they were a close-knit group. Looks like even they have internal conflicts!"After a brief pause, he ventured, "Mr. Beckett, do you think we could use this as a breakthrough? Maybe Remy has been at odds with Sheryl for a while, and he's tired of working under Justin. Perhaps all he needs is a little push to turn against them. After all, didn't Ms. Altman join us because she hated everything Jameson did?"Jasper didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he spoke quietly, "It's a clever thought, but it's still uncertain. We don't really know Remy's intentions. Our interactions with him have been few, and they've always been risky confrontations. I don't know what he

    "Didn't you say you had no idea what I was talking about? In that case, this ear is useless to you. You're already a crippled man anyway. You might as well be deaf too." Axel's hands trembled with restrained rage. The temptation to end Justin's life surged through him—he wanted to pull the trigger, to rip him apart limb by limb. But he had made a promise to Jasper—no lives would be taken. A promise was a promise."I will rescue my wife. But you'll lose more than just an ear if I fail." Axel seized Justin by the hair, his reddened eyes brimming with tears. His voice cracked with fury and anguish. "I will make you suffer a thousand times the pain Amber has endured."Without warning, he released Justin and stormed out."S-Sir! I will get someone to take you to the hospital right away!" Sheryl crawled to Justin's side, panic-stricken as her eyes fell on the pool of blood spreading across the floor. Her trembling hands fumbled with her phone, unable to keep a firm grip as she scrambl

    "Sir!" Sheryl shouted. She was just about to get to Justin's side when two shots were fired near her feet. Screaming, she dropped to her knees, threw her arms over her head, and scurried under the table like a terrified animal.The air in the room grew heavy with menace.Justin, known as the devil of the night, was a man who thrived on chaos. His power and influence stretched across continents, and he'd faced countless threats without flinching.But as his visitor approached, an unfamiliar dread coiled in his chest. His hands gripped the couch's armrests so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The terror was suffocating."Get out, all of you," the man commanded, his voice cold and sharp.The man remained fixated solely on Justin while Justin's guests fled in terror. "Help! Somebody!" Sheryl screamed, her voice muffled as she cowered under the table.No help would come. Outside, the others were either unconscious or dead.A deafening bang shattered the silence. The man fir
