Chapter 2393
Silence filled Alyssa's office.
Since the incident that led to Jonah and Julien's heartbreaking breakup, everyone had avoided mentioning Julien, even though the sorrow of it lingered like a heavy shadow.
Alyssa had suggested the second option because she believed Julien might be the key to tuming the tide in their favor. But where was Julien now?
After the fallout, he had disfigured himself, consumed by hatred toward Jonah, and left without hesitation. Would he return? Could they even find him?
"Let's try to think of something else," Cyrus said, shaking his head dejectedly. He understood Jonah's situation all too well.
"I'll go look for him." Jonah closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them, they glistened with unshed tears. The redness in his gaze betrayed his heartbreak. "Some of my former subordinates are still in Mosgravia. I'll contact them for help. I'll find Julien, even if it means sacrificing sleep and meals. No matter what it takes, I'll bring him back."
Silas and Cyrus exchanged a glance, their hearts heavy as they took in Jonah's grief.
"We need to act quickly. I'll send people from KS Group to Mosgravia to assist in the search. The longer this drags on, the more unpredictable things will become."
Alyssa wasn't in the mood for polite conversation with her brothers. She looked at Cyrus with a serious expression. "I might need your help next, Cyrus. Your policing abilities will be crucial.'
Cyrus straightened, looking ready to leap into action. "Don't worry about troubling me. Just tell me what you need!"
"Investigate Dr. Bender," Alyssa said, her tone icy. "Look into his family background, his work, and his personal life. Find out if he has family in Solana City and how they're doing."
Cyrus blinked, but he quickly caught on. A faint smile tugged at his lips. "I see what you're getting at."
Alyssa's gaze sharpened. "Dr. Bender went against his professional ethics, revealing a patient's treatment records to another party without permission. He risked his career by crossing Jasper. This tells us one thing..."
She turned her teacup slowly, her fingers gliding over its surface as a fierce gleam flashed in her eyes. "Justin and Sheryl must have offered him something irresistible-or they've found a way to control him."
Silas scoffed. "Dr. Bender is pathetic. He joined Justin's camp to protect himself, but hasn't he considered that we Taylors are backing Jasper? If he crosses Jasper, our family can crush him. How could he not know that?"
Alyssa raised an eyebrow, stifling a laugh. 'Silas, you sound less like a prosecutor and more like a thug."
Silas slammed his hand on the table. "Look at what Jasper's going through! How can I not be
furious? If I could, I'd pounce on Justin and rip his head off!"
Despite the tension, the Taylors' spirited exchange lightened the mood in the room. After all, status and authority were fleeting. What mattered most was that Jasper wasn't on the brink of death. There was no need to act as if the world were ending.
Their primary concem was that Jasper's meticulously built career could be destroyed by a malevolent individual in an instant. They were determined to assist him in protecting his rightful achievements.
Jasper had endured countless hardships as a child. Other than Anne, he had no one. Even his mother-the person who loved him most-had lost her life in the Beckett family's harrowing feud.
Alyssa's sleepless nights and tireless efforts were all to ensure that Jasper wouldn't lose anything more.
"Sheryl is a dangerous individual," Jonah said, his voice steady despite the sorrow in his eyes. "She's just like Jameson-Justin's pawn. But more than that, she's the key to exposing Justin's schemes."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Cyrus' chest tightened, his eyes misting over. "What about Remy? Or should I say Damien?"
A stabbing pain shot through Alyssa's heart. In a soft yet firm voice, she said, "Damien is different. I believe there's still kindness in his heart, even if he's lost his memories and been brainwashed by Justin. One day, he'll wake up completely."
Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus nodded firmly in agreement.
