Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable.
"Whatever makes you happy."
Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.
Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"
Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing.
"Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"
Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"
The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "Regardless of her feelings toward me, I have faith in her judgment. She discerns good from evil, and she will never align herself with the enemy."
With that, he walked away.
Justin's expression darkened. Raising his voice, he called out, "Alright then—let's wait and see whose side Lyse chooses in the end."
…
In the back seat of a luxury car in the basement parking lot, Justin tugged at his necktie, his gaze downcast.
"Mr. Beckett, here's the red wine you requested."
Eden carefully poured the decanted red wine into a tall wine glass and handed it over.

Can u post more chapters as promised for 7 chapters a day. Enjoyed the story very much. Hope all is well and thank you in advance....
HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
