Jasper’s eyes grew red-rimmed, his voice hoarse, as he begged Jonah. “All I’m doing now is so that I can make it up to Lyse. I’d
give up my life just to help her achieve what she wants, no matter whether you all forgive me or not. Just please don’t put Lyse at
risk. As her brother, you know just how she can be!”
Jasper was really worried that Alyssa would be angry at him all over again. They had gotten to such a neutral state after months
of tribulation. Jasper didn’t want things to return to square one.
But he was more worried something terrible might happen to Alyssa.
Jonah hadn’t expected Jasper to blurt all this out. He’d only meant to
mock the latter.
After a moment of silence, Jonah finally said, “Alright. You can proceed, but you have to stick with me.”
While Jasper was making the first move overseas, things weren’t looking too good back in Solana City,
Today marked the day of a crucial meeting between Beckett Group and Jesselton Inc. from Mosgravia. Javier and the higher-ups
had already assembled in the conference room, but Jasper was conspicuously absent.
The Beckett Group’s reputation had declined due to Sophia’s recent actions. News of it had even spread overseas. Their
company had truly become an international embarrassment.
The company’s stocks had also been falling nonstop for three whole days. Just the sight of the statistics was enough to make
one panic.

Though Beckett Group’s domestic projects might not be affected by this, the same could not be said about the ones from
overseas.
Right now, the Taylor family, Schmidt family, and even the Harper family might take advantage and seize all of Beckett Group’s
overseas assets! It was up to Jasper, being CEO of the company, to hold the line of defense for them. Yet Jasper was nowhere

to be found in this crucial moment!
Javier was sitting at the head of the conference table, looking like he’d just eaten a lemon. A steely, hostile air emanated from his
body.
Around him, the shareholders discussed amongst themselves.
“It’s already so late. Mr. Jasper won’t be a no-show, will he?”
“I doubt it. Mr. Jasper is famous for being diligent when it comes to work. When has he ever missed a meeting in the past few
years? As long as the Earth is still spinning, he’s bound to arrive soon!”
“That was a year ago. Now? Hmph, things might not be the same anymore.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Mr. Jasper is currently doing his best to pursue Ms. Alyssa Taylor. When would he have spare time to think about work? He’s
probably busy being intimate with her.”
The shareholders snickered quietly.
“A modern-day Mark Anthony, it seems.”
“Still, given how in disrepute the company is right now, wouldn’t Jesselton Incorporated think we’re dragging them down? Not
even the CEO is present for the meeting today. Would this negotiation still end successfully?”
Javier’s ears swiftly caught those words. He slowly curled his hand

Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

When Javier saw who it was, he was surprised.
Justin was calling.
With less than five minutes until the meeting’s commencement, Javier had no choice but to disregard the call.
As the meeting began, one could tell most of the people here today had low hopes for this business deal’s success.
After all, their CEO wasn’t here today. Who would want to work with such an insincere company?
Just then, the screen at the front of the room lit up. The conference call had connected.
Since Jasper became Beckett Group’s CEO, he’d always be there to steer the discussions with their potential partners. Javier
only joined for decorum when it was needed. Being the board’s chairman, Javier was slowly retiring from the front stage and
leaving it up to the youth.
Hence, Javier felt anxious right now. He leaned forward slightly, gazing solemnly at the screen.
The individuals on the screen were Ezzo Jesselton, chairman of Jesselton Incorporated, and his son Zeke Jesselton, the CEO of
their company. Seated beside the two was a man unfamiliar to anyone on Beckett Group’s board.
