Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper's gaze followed the movement of Justin's finger, landing on the nameplate on the desk.

The nameplate that once read "Jasper Beckett, CEO" had been replaced with "Justin Beckett" without Jasper's knowledge.

Justin had been impatient—erasing all traces of Jasper in the Beckett Group overnight.

"We held an emergency board meeting yesterday morning," Justin said, his tone calm yet cutting.

"With an overwhelming majority vote, I've replaced you as the corporation's CEO." He leaned forward, resting his chin on a triangle formed by his well -defined fingers.

"Have your secretary hand work over to mine soon.

I've packed your belongings and sent them to Seaview Manor.

Thanks for all your hard work these years, Jasper.

You can leave the future of the Beckett Group in my hands now." The room fell into a tense silence.

Jasper's lashes quivered briefly before he broke into a smile.

With one hand in his pocket, he sank onto the couch with a calm, almost careless air.
