With such a straightforward question, all eyes turned to Bryan.

A chill went down his spine as he met Alyssa’s sharp gaze. However, he kept his composure and calmed down.

He said, “This was already a public secret within our circle. The Beckett Group competed with us previously, and Ada was wavering between you and Mr. Beckett.

“But in the end, you were one step ahead of his game, so you took over the right to host the wedding.

“Since we’re on the losing end now, given Ada’s wedding is just around the corner, it’s only natural that she’d switch to the Beckett Group, isn’t it?”

Bryan made it sound like it made perfect sense.

Alyssa smiled, her captivating eyes narrowed slightly. She leaned back comfortably and smirked.

“Good point, Bryan. But you’ve overlooked one thing-until now, the Beckett Group and Ada have not signed any official contract,” stated Alyssa, Everyone was appalled. “What? It’s been a week, and the contract hasn’t been signed?”

Bryan remained calm, but his expression gradually stiffened.

if it was a suggests that things haven’t progressed. This means we still have a chance.”

already signed, can the Beckett Group refrain from making a bl announcement? Their silence Alyssa tiptoed and leisurely spun in her leather chair. ‘I’m more stubborn than a mule. I won’t give up until the very last moment.

“So, I came up with a new plan. I will present it to Ada in the next two days. I intend to catch the Beckett Group off guard again.”

“Ms. Alyssa, you’re truly remarkable! Everyone cheered for Alyssa for her bold statement.

Bryan could only force a smile and went along with the rest.

“But Ms. Alyssa, In the end, it’s KS Group who breached the contract first. Ada must be quite unhappy with us by now. If you were to go talk to her again, won’t you end up being disappointed?”

“Yeah… there are certain things that just can’t be forced.”

A smile beamed on Alyssa’s lustrous lips. Her eyes were glistening with an obsidian-like glow. “In life, After the meeting adjourned, the project team members went their separate ways. Only Alyssa and Sean remained in the spacious meeting room.

Alyssa took her coffee from Sean. She stood before the full-length window and gazed at the magnificent. scenery of Solana City. She savored her coffee with composure.

“Ms. Alyssa, you said you had a new plan… were you trying to bait someone?” Sean asked tentatively as he stood beside her.

“Yes, and I did manage to bait someone.”

Excitement surged from Sean’s widened eyes. “Really? Who is it?”

“But it’s just a suspicion. I can’t confirm because I don’t have proof.”

Alyssa’s eyes dimmed. “Sean, go and tail Bryan after you get off work today. Find out who he’s meeting and if there is any unusual behavior from him. Report back to me promptly.”

-ו When Lauren woke up the following day, she was escorted home by Jasper.

Although Sophia wasn’t happy with it, she dared not say anything in front of Javier, given Jasper’s imposing presence.

As for Betty, she didn’t even dare to utter a single word. After all, she was responsible for pranking Lauren.

Sophia wouldn’t tell her off even if she knew about it, but that wouldn’t be the case for Javier. He would have scolded Betty.

In the evening, Lauren lay in bed with a sullen expression, clutching the teddy bear she had lost and then recovered the previous night.

She made an effort to piece together the events of the previous night, feeling her heart race as her cheeks gradually flushed.

In fact, she had experienced a sort of blackout the previous night. She couldn’t recall any details of what had occurred or how she had made it back home.

All she could recollect was the passionate kiss that had met her lips, a tantalizing and lingering sensation that had occurred just before the lights had gone out. And that pair of fiery eyes that stared at her intimately.

Lauren took a deep breath and got up from the bed. She sat down at the table.

She took out her sketchbook and pencil. She closed her eyes for a few seconds before sketching on the paper.

After about ten minutes, a face with seatures bearing a mischievous charm akin to that of a handsome rogue began to take shape on the paper.

That touch of provocative arrogance was also captured in the drawing Lauren was in a daze as she stared at her work. She stroked the pair of eyes she drew lightly.

*Landon. He is so good-looking.”

Lauren didn’t know that her good-looking Landon had already made his way into Seaview Manor. He was driving a bright red Ferrari.

“Who did you say has arrived?”

Sophia was utterly astonished when she heard the housekeeper’s report. She was accompanying Javier to admire the autumn view in the backyard.

“Madam Sophia, Mr. Harper is here.”
