In the darkness, Jonah''s neck and earlobes flushed red.
His breathing became heavy as he slowly raised his hand. Hended his warm palm on Julien''s
abdomen, gently caressing the smooth skin.
"Do you still think this is a dream?"
Under Jonah''s touch, Julien trembled as if electrified. Finally, he leaned in and grabbed Jonah''s face,
kissing him fiercely.
Their silhouettes intertwined, filling the room with their kissing sounds.
"Jonah, can you let me be with you? I don''t want anything. Just let me be with you. I don''t mind, even if
we can never be public."
Jonah''s dark eyes shimmered with profound affection.
He couldn''t hide it or contain himself any longer. He knew exactly what he was doing. At this moment,
he was more awake than ever before.
"From now on, I''m yours. Yours alone."
With tears in his eyes, Julien nestled into Jonah''s bare yet strong chest. He felt a happiness he had
never felt before.
Lately, Jameson had been busy dealing with the troubles brought to thepany by the Taylor family.
The losses incurred by the Tsulu resort project had been somewhat mitigated, with Jameson sending
people to visit andpensate for the injured and deceased. He also orchestrated media coverage to
salvage the reputation of the Schmidt Group.
In secret, the officials from Tsulu responsible for the incident had been sessfully bribed by Jameson,
using abination of money and women''s seduction. They had agreed to minimize the negative
impact of the incident and ensure that it wouldn''t affect the project''s construction in the future.
Amber''s sacrifices were essential in this process.
Though Jameson had stopped her from selling her body after the incident with Inigo, she still had to be
around thosescivious, high-ranking officials to secure Jameson''s interests.
This was Amber''s only remaining value by his side.
She had no turning back now because her value as Alyssa''s substitute had been lost. If she lost this as
well, Jameson would abandon herpletely.
Others'' abandonment meant discarding, but Jameson''s would mean destruction.
With a tumultuous fate, she had fought tooth and nail to survive to this day. She wanted to live well, not
endure a life of misery, and end up with a tragic death.
That night, Jameson returned from his business trip to Mosgravia with an extremely grim expression.
As soon as he entered The Millennium''s gates, Amber, who greeted him, shivered and hastily took a
few steps back.
"Mr. Schmidt..."
Jameson stared at her coldly, as if seeing someone he could never have through her.
"Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Altman has done a great service for you in Tsulu."
Sensing something was amiss, Carl quickly smiled and spoke for Amber. "Those high-ranking officials
are willing to work for you, thanks to her. She persuaded them."
"Persuaded? Or seduced?" Jameson sneered disdainfully.
Amber lowered her head and stared at the tips of her red high heels. Her throat felt so constricted that
she had difficulty breathing.
Carl awkwardly chuckled. "Ms. Altman is The Millennium''s manager. She has managed this ce well
for years and cultivated many connections in Sna City. You know that, right? Ms. Altman is very
skilled in negotiation and maniption, all thanks to your guidance."
"It''s just a brothel. If it weren''t for the bigger picture, would I care?"

Jameson''s gaze softened slightly as he withdrew it from Amber''s flushed face. "If she can''t even do
this, she might as well die and not waste any air."
Carl nced at Amber, unsure of what else to say.
"Oh, wait. Apart from managing the ce, she might still have some use."
Jameson suddenly turned toward Amber. With a menacing look in his eyes, he approached her. "If I
were to give this woman who resembles Lyse to Sir, what do you think his reaction would be?"
