Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2386

"How could that be?" Sean's eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Justin relies on a wheelchair wherever he goes, and has to be on medications all year round. He needs constant care.

"How could someone like him take up the position of president? Also, Mr. Jasper has Mr. Newton's support and has reconciled with Javier.

"How could Mr. Justin take down Mr. Jasper and take over his position? Does he even have anyone supporting him?

"How is he going to manage with his condition? He will end up falling even after he takes that position. Mr. Newton is not going to just sit back and watch!"

"Still, there are only two heirs to Beckett Group-Justin and Jasper." Alyssa closed her eyes tight and fell into deep thought. She bit her lip. "If Jasper collapses, the entire corporation will be negatively affected.

"No matter how much Grandpa Newton loves him, he would have to take their family into consideration too. Plus, don't forget that Mr. Javier is no longer biased toward Jasper since Justin returned. He now sits on the fence.

"When push comes to shove, Grandpa Newton would very likely give up on Jasper and allow Justin to take his position instead."

Upon hearing that, the color drained from Sean's face.

Alyssa let out a heavy sigh. 'Of course, that is the worst possible outcome. After all, to Grandpa Newton, the health and safety of his grandson is more important than status and authority. If the fight between Justin and Jasper continues, I can't imagine what horrible things Justin might do.

*Grandpa Newton has been keeping that bloody secret all to himself. I'm sure it has been agonizing for him to bear with all that stress for so many years."

"Ms. Alyssa, we have to come up with a way to help Mr. Jasper through this difficult situation!" Sean said, lowering himself and looking at Alyssa with a troubled expression. Her eyes were filled with worry.

He continued, "Mr. Jasper has strived for years to build Beckett Group to be where it is today. We cannot let it fall into the hands of that scheming man!"

"I, more than you or anyone else, wish that Jasper will win this fight. If the legal route doesn't work, we'll take the illicit approach. I must protect Jasper and Beckett Group no matter what it takes.

After ruminating further, Alyssa opened her eyes again. Her eyes had turned completely red.

"Ever since Jul left, Justin planted Sheryl by Jasper's side. Justin was the one who provided Sheryl with the illicit drugs that Jasper had been taking.

'He has been keeping watch in secret. When the time was right, he contacted the reporters and reported Jasper to the police. He made his series of schemes so natural that it caught everyone off guard."

Sean swore out of anger, "Damn it... That fucking crook!"

*Sean, we have to send a reliable, top-notch attorney from our end."

Alyssa was a sensitive and cautious person. She made sure that she made no mistakes whenever she took action.

"Right now, I can't trust anyone from the Beckett Group, other than Grandpa Newton. However, he is an elderly and doesn't have enough capacity to help us. Mr. Gorham aside, we wouldn't even know if Justin has bribed anyone around Grandpa Newton."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

*Ms. Alyssa, do you trust my brother, Steven? If you do, how about entrusting Mr. Jasper's case to him?

Sean looked at Alyssa with an earnest and fiery gaze. "All of Solana City once saw my oldest brother, Simon, as the best attorney in the city. But, they were unaware that Steven was actually the most talented one in the

political and legal fields in Solana City.

"Him working as a judge all year round just meant that he hadn't had a chance to represent clients in court. In actual fact, he's extremely skilled. It's just that everyone overlooked his abilities."

"I trust all you Lynch brothers. Let's go ahead with your suggestion." Alyssa took a deep breath. "There is an even tougher battle up ahead. Jasper's arrest stirred up all sorts of comments from the public. Don't worry about the financial cost. The most important thing is to rein in all negative sentiments."

With a serious look on his face, Sean nodded. "I understand! I will get in touch with the Public Relations Department and the media to sort this out now."

A glaring beam of white light shone on Jasper. He had been sitting in the interrogation room at the police station for three whole hours. Yet, there wasn't a single hint of tiredness on his face. His suit remained neat, and he was still sitting with his back upright.

He was a perfect example of someone who wouldn't crack under pressure.

After some time, the door to the interrogation room opened.

Rio and another police officer strutted in. Rio slammed a test report down in front of Jasper. With an icy look on his face and an intimidating gaze, he announced, "The results are out. You have tested positive."

A flicker flashed across Jasper's eyes. He curled his lips downward. "I didn't do drugs."

"It's written in black and white. How could it be false? Mr. Beckett, did you think that the forensics department at the force is just for show?" Rio scoffed. He pulled out a small plastic bag and waved it in front of Jasper. "You should be very familiar with this, Mr. Beckett. We found this in a drawer in your office."

Jasper's eyes dimmed as he stared at that bag of blue pills. The veins on the back of his hands began to pop as he clenched his hands into fists on his knees.

This was his last bag of pills.

He didn't carry it with him because he realized he had developed a strong dependence on them. He wanted to hold himself back and stay away from them as much as possible.

In the past, he would only have headaches without the medication. Now, if he stopped taking them, he would feel like he had ants crawling all over his body, nibbling and chewing away at his bones.
