"In a casual voice, Justin remarked, "Grandpa, you really do spoil Jasper. But, how much longer can you continue this?" His smile was no longer bright. Instead, it was cold and sly. With an infinitely deep look in his eyes, he continued, "Don't you know that the kinder you are toward him, the more you are dragging him down?" "Mr. Justin." Sheryl hurried toward Justin. "The matter is settled." Justin shot her a look, and she got what he meant. She pushed his wheelchair to the lounge so they could talk privately.
"Mr. Beckett Senior is so frustratingly stubborn!" Sheryl felt indignant on Justin's behalf. "To hell with Jasper. You should be the heir to Beckett Group! Why is he still insisting on protecting that bastard even at a tlike this? Has he gone senile?" "It's just as I had expected," Justin said with a perfunctory smile. "In Grandpa's eyes, Jasper is his biological grandson, whereas he and I have been distant for a long time." "That's absolutely horrible. He can't even recognize those closest to him!" Sheryl was so infuriated that she stomped her feet. "I have bought off Dr. Bender to be a witness and prove that Jasper consumed illicit drugs.

Justin gazed at Sheryl with dark, gloomy eyes. He lifted his lips into a sarcastic smirk. "Is that how much you hate him?" "Yes! I wish I could get rid of him with my own hands. I'd cut him to pieces and feed him to the sharks!" she answered through gritted teeth.
Back then, Sheryl's reputation as a Gardner had been destroyed. She had ended up in a situation worse than street beggars. Whenever she was reminded of this, her eyes would turn red with hatred.
With Justin present, she held herself back from cursing Alyssa and the rest of her family.
Justin narrowed his eyes. In a candid and crisp voice, he said, "Such deep-seated hatred suggests that you were once deeply in love with him." A chill ran down Sheryl's spine, and her chest tightened. She rushed forward and knelt by Justin's feet. She gazed up at him with reverence in her eyes.
"No, Sir! I have never cared about anyone other than you... Not even Jasper! I was still too young, too naïve, and too foolish back then. I was manipulated by Sophia. Otherwise, why would I have anything to do with such lowly people?" Justin couldn't care less about her confession. He mumbled to himself, "I have never experienced deep love or any deep-seated hatred. So, I'm really envious of your hatred and Jasper's love." He did not hate Jasper or Newton. He didn't despise anyone.
It seemed like he had only done these things because they felt intriguing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Sheryl's phone rang. It was Remy calling.
She answered the call in Justin's presence. In an annoyed tone, she said, "Yes?" "I've looked into it. I didn't find anything," Remy reported in a cold voice.
Sheryl was extremely frustrated. "Are you sure? Out of all the CCTV cameras inside and outside, none of them captured her? I don't believe you!" "Cand look personally if you don't believe me." With that, Remy ended the call.
Feeling dismissed, Sheryl was on the verge of hurling her phone to the ground.
"Sir, a woman barged into Lab No. 1 today, beat up a doctor, and stole his entry pass asked Remy to investigate, but he said that none of the surveillance cameras captured any footage of her. What terrible luck is this?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesLooking completely undisturbed, Justin asked, "Did we get into any trouble?" "No. We conducted a thorough inspection and search afterward and determined that nothing was lost. Nothing was amiss either." Sheryl paused briefly, and concern flashed across her eyes. "B-But... That person might have recognized me." Justin's interest was piqued. He raised a brow. "Oh?" "I-I think she called out my real name." Sheryl's gaze becunsteady. Shuddering at that thought, she continued, have undergone plastic surgery to change my appearance and even my voice. Plus, I have been professionally trained in speech and behavior. How could she have recognized me? That's impossible!" Content belongs to en.kikistories"Nothing is impossible." Justin twisted the ring on his finger nonchalantly. "The fact that that woman, was able to enter and leave that place without anyone noticing shows that she's bold and crafty. Also, she knows you quite well." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSW Sheryl had a moment of realization. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "I know who she is! It must be her... It must be!"
