Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 1162

Sophia’s scandal at the horseracing event had single-handedly thrown the Beckett Group into disarray. Newton, at the top of the chain of command, confronted Javier with an ultimatum. He wanted Sophia to rot in prison and had no qualms to disown Javier should the latter attempt to intervene.

Alas, Javier held a different opinion. He would be dragged by the netizens sooner or later if he sat back and watched as Sophia was canceled. They would surely criticize him for being a cold-blooded capitalist who treated his wife like a pawn in a game of chess.

He was tired of being laughed at and mocked. In the past, he had an arranged marriage with the daughter of the Duttons, which did not work out. Later, rumors had it that he mistreated Anne Bartley, who killed herself due to depression. Now, his wife, Sophia, was put behind bars for drug offenses.

He did not want the ill fates of his women to become fodder for gossip. To protect his image, he could not sit back as Sophia was branded a criminal.

Never had he expected that Jasper would convene a meeting with the upper management of Beckett Group without his approval as the chairman. Not only that, Jasper had officially stripped Sophia of her role as executive director.

Upon arriving, Javier faced a silent room of departing managers who greeted him respectfully.
