Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue -
Chapter 1838
After the meeting, Javier and Jasper headed toward the entrance of the Beckett Group building withtheir secretaries under the protection of their security guards.
A father and son were supposed to be close, but the two of them behaved like strangers, notspeaking to each other on the trip.
"Come with me to Southsmire on my private jet later. I've invited Darren Daneman for golftomorrow morning, and I have a business cocktail party in the afternoon. These events will play ahuge role in our future expansion and project launches in Southsmire.”
Jasper was about to reply, but he was interrupted by a jarring honking. A Rolls Royce with the Spiritof Ecstasy mascot on its bonnet came to a stop in front of Jasper and Javier.
Jasper squinted at the car as his heart raced.
When the car door opened, Javier heard a melodious voice from within, even though he couldn'tmake out the figure seated in it. "Mr. Javier, you don't mind me picking up Jasper from work, doyou?"
Javier's breathing grew heavy upon recognizing Alyssa's voice. Before he could say a thing, Jasperhad eagerly hopped into the car without even saying goodbye to him.
After Jasper joined Alyssa in the car, he held her hand and gently kissed her on the back of herhand. His lips rubbed and caressed her smooth skin with much affection.
Javier's expression fell. He thought, "How shameless and brash of him to do so!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Javier." Jasper held Alyssa by her waist and stated, "I'm afraid I can't travel with you toSouthsmire to golf with Mr. Daneman.”
"Jasper Beckett, do not forget your role!" Javier's expression hardened. Gritting his teeth, he hissed,"The partnership with Southsmire will be crucial to the company's expansion in the southern citiesby the sea!
"You can date anytime you like, but how could you prioritize romance over the company's interest?This project is very important. You're showing yourself unfit as the company president.”
"It took me nearly five years to lead the Beckett Group to become the top company in Solana Cityand make myself the top tycoon. This is all to boost our stature in business negotiation. I'm notgoing to play boring golf and attend boring parties just to ink deals,” Jasper declared.
Staring lovingly at Alyssa and kissing her on the temple, he said softly, "I'd rather spend time withmy love than waste my time in Southsmire.”
Upon hearing that, Javier clutched his fists spitefully as rage pulsed through his veins.
Alyssa gracefully craned to peer at Javier through the car window. She remarked, "Mr. Javier, youmay cancel the trip if it is to discuss the late-night district commercial project with Darren Danemanof Oceanic Inc."
Frowning, Javier questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Three days ago, Mr. Daneman had agreed to jointly launch the project with the KS Group.”Beaming brightly, she quipped, "There, I saved you from taking a trip."
"What did you say... How is that possible?” Javier looked shell-shocked.
Unlike Javier, Jasper looked calm. "Mr. Daneman is a close acquaintance of Mr. Winston. OceanicInc. has worked with the KS Group on more than one occasion. I researched these facts before, butyou never believe in my words."
After Jasper closed the car door, the Rolls Royce sped away, leaving Javier freezing on the spot.
