Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2383

The look in Jasper's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.

His car windows were tinted, preventing the reporters who had come after hearing the news about his health from getting a clear view of his frigid expression.

Nevertheless, they pressed their faces against the car window until their features looked distorted.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasper curled his lips downward as an inexplicable feeling of frustration simmered within him. He lifted his hand and dug into the knot of his tie, tugging it downward.

"Mr. Beckett! I heard that you were hospitalized for several days after collapsing in front of everyone. Do you actually have health problems?"

"If there are no issues with your health, please step forward and clarify to put the public at ease."

*Beckett Group's shares were somewhat affected when the stock market opened today. This was surely related to your hospitalization. Could you share some comments with us?"

Jasper's car drove out of the crowd and into the underground parking lot with great difficulty.

"Shit. Damn it!" Xavier slammed his fist in anger onto the car window. "Who dared to expose your hospitalization to the press?"

"Who else could it be?' A fiery gaze flashed across Jasper's bloodshot eyes.

Xavier had a moment of realization. "J-Justin!"

The other board members were not daring enough.

Plus, the health conditions of family members from wealthy families were strictly confidential. This information was not revealed to the public to prevent competitors from getting the wrong idea and trying to sabotage them secretly.

The only one who had the guts to expose this, had the capability to do so, and would benefit from it...

There could be no one other than Justin.

"Mr. Beckett, that older brother of yours who acts sanctimonious and gracious before others has started to show his true colors," Xavier remarked.

Infuriated, Xavier scoffed. "I knew it... I just knew he didn't come back with good intentions. It hasn't even been six months, yet he can no longer keep up with his act.

'Did he think he could cause your position in Beckett Group to waver by revealing such groundless information? He's dreaming!"

"Why did the reporters show up here?" Jasper mumbled to himself as he frowned.

Xavier was enraged. "Of course it's so that they can humiliate you! He created chaos and then hid in the shadows. As the president of the corporation, you'd be forced to step forward to calm the masses. That's freaking disgusting and despicable of him!"

For some reason, Jasper still felt uneasy. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.

He left the parking lot and entered Beckett Group Tower.

Jasper had a majestic bearing as he stood tall. His every step was firm and steady. He did not appear tired, let alone unwell.

Xavier and four uniformed bodyguards followed behind him.

Jasper was used to being alone and keeping a low profile. Xavier was usually the only one who accompanied him whenever he went out.

Today, however, he adopted a more showy approach. This was part of Newton's plan.

Jasper was making his return after being unwell for about a week. He couldn't allow himself to return in a disappointing manner.

"Mr. Beckett!'

Those who had met Jasper previously were all lined up. They greeted him respectfully.

Jasper nodded. The deep gaze in his eyes and his intimidating bearing sent chills through all those he walked by. Just as the entire group of people was walking toward the president's elevator, a commotion erupted in the lobby.

Xavier glanced over and furrowed his brow. He instructed one of the bodyguards, "Go and see what's going on there."

The bodyguard had just taken a few steps forward when three men approached him.

"Outsiders aren't allowed past this point," he said sternly.

"Police," a crisp, familiar, and confident voice sounded.

Jasper, who had been expressionless the whole time, slowly turned to look.

His eyes widened. Much to his surprise, it was Alyssa's seventh brother, Cyrus, who appeared before him. "Mr. Cy-Chief Taylor!"
