Can’t Win Me Back

It was public knowledge that Newton, despite retiring from his role as the Beckett Group's chairman, held the company stocks and remained the shareholder and the honorary chairman across many other companies.

He remained in control of Brighton Technology and Alcove Co. Although Javier was eager to get his hands on the two companies, Newton refused to give him the opportunity.

However, Newton had breezily given Jasper power in the two companies, which was clearly an act of favoritism. It was also a subtle declaration that Jasper was the "chosen one" and the heir of Beckett Group.

"Why are you quiet? Do you disagree with my decision?" Newton asked coldly. "I'm sure you have thought over it carefully," Javier replied.

After a pause, Javier added, "But you've given Jasper too much stock ownership when he's still young. I worry that he might feel pressured by it. It's also a distraction that might affect his growth in the future."

"I know what Jasper is capable of. Even if the sky falls, he'll be able to handle it. You don't have to worry about a thing when he's the president of Beckett Group. He's always managed to solve the problems. Isn't that right? He's driven by challenges. Put pressure on him, and you'll help him release his potential.
