Can’t Win Me Back

"Alyssa... you do?" Newton's bleary eyes brightened slightly.

Alyssa hesitated before whispering, "But Grandpa Newton, my idea is quite drastic. It might even affect Beckett Group's shareholder equity-including yours and Mr. Javier's interests." Newton's expression shifted as he pieced it together. "Alyssa, you're thinking of—"

"Yes," she admitted. "During the recent drop in Beckett Group's share prices, I seized the opportunity to acquire a small portion of shares. I already hold some.

"If you're willing, could you transfer part of your shares to me? This would make me one of the major shareholders and secure me a seat on the board of directors. Together, we, along with Jasper, could hold enough shares to counter Mr. Javier and Justin.

"At the very least, we'd prevent Justin from gaining complete control of the corporation."

Alyssa frowned as she weighed the pros and cons aloud. "Right now, Mr. Javier is siding with Justin. Even if Justin doesn't gain ownership of Mr. Javier's shares, his unconditional support would still give Justin overwhelming authority over the company's growth-and survival."

She quickly added, "Of course, this is just a suggestion. I'm an outsider, after all, and transferring shares is a major decision. Please think it through carefully, Grandpa Newton." Newton's eyes sparkled as he sat up with effort. Alyssa immediately steadied him. "Let's go with your suggestion!"
