Can’t Win Me Back

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes.

He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting-along with Alyssa's involvement was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor.

Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried.

Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin-his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant, almost fuzzy. Javier's attention drifted toward Jasper, who maintained a composed yet grim demeanor. Despite all he had endured, Jasper exuded a quiet resilience-like the sea at night, rocking with the waves yet undisturbed. A bitter lump rose in Javier's throat as his mouth went dry. He tasted acidity at the back of his tongue, painfully aware that Justin had become a monster while Jasper remained righteous and kind.

For over 20 years, he had failed to show his fatherly love to Jasper, condemning him to a miserable life. Yet, whether for his own sake or for Beckett Group's future, he believed he had no other choice.

"To Grandpa, Dad, and all the board members present-thank you for trusting me," Justin announced. "I will lead Beckett Group with distinction and secure Project A5. I will not disappoint any of you."

Upon finishing, Justin lifted his cold gaze toward Alyssa and walked directly toward her while everyone watched.
