Can’t Win Me Back

After returning from a management meeting, Jasper rested on the leather chair in the Beckett Group president’s office, visibly exhausted.

News of his breakup with Liana must have spread within the company. Nonetheless, not one employee in the building dared to gossip about him lest they got into trouble.

As the vice chair of the board of directors, Jasper was de facto yielding the most power in the company. Somehow, that did not bring him any happiness at all.

“I’m surprised that Sophia was able to pay off the Gardners’ debts. It looks like she has siphoned quite a lot of money. This is the perfect time to pay it all back.” Xavier gloated at Sophia’s misfortune.

“Henry was her tool to collect wealth, but he’s in jail now. The fact that she could afford to pay the tens of millions in debt goes to show that she has other channel’s of getting the money.” Jasper’s half-opened eyes gleamed dangerously.

“Could she have made money … from that luxury store, EV Concepts?” Xavier widened his eyes in disbelief. “It’s just an ordinary store selling luxury bags and clothes. Even if their sales are off the roof, it’s impossible to make that much in profits!”

“You’re still naive after all these years of following me around.” Frowning, Jasper launched a paper plane that landed right on Xavier’s chest.

“The EV Concepts store is the front of an extensive web of connections that Sophia built over a few years. She might be selling luxury items on the surface, but she is secretly dealing with the exchange of titles, power, and even darker illegal shit.”

Xavier shuddered at the thought. “We’ve underestimated that witch!”

“No, I haven’t. I don’t take my enemies lightly.” Jasper pinched his nose bridge and sneered. “But it’s not
