Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1359

"Madam Alyssa, the land auction process is messed up in Tsulu. Don't you agree?" Xavier took the opportunity to praise Jasper to the heavens, "Fortunately, our wise Mr. Beckett brought up the issues to Mr. Jonah, just in time to turn things around. Mr. Jonah would suffer a greater loss if the construction kicked off."

"Xavier, are you implying that Jonah isn't as wise?" Alyssa crossed her arms and directed an imitating gaze at Xavier. The latter tensed up and clarified, "M-Madam, please don't misunderstand! That wasn't what I meant!"

"Xavier, watch your mouth." Jasper cast a piercing glance in Xavier's way. "He who talks much errs much. Remember, your bonus…"

Xavier was even more intimidated by Jasper's subtle threat on his bonus.

To err was human nature, and the same applied to businessmen. Jasper wasn't born with keen business acumen. It was the cumulation of experience from years of running the Beckett Group and making various mistakes along the road.

He was slightly more knowledgeable about Tsulu than Jonah, which happened to be of help.

"I pointed out the problem for Jonah to transfer the land to someone else, but he struggled to find a willing buyer," Jasper explained calmly as if he hadn't done much to help.

More than a willing buyer, they were looking for a victim. To their surprise, they found the perfect victim when they dealt with Sean's case.

"That's why you thought of using the project as a peace offering to the Schmidts. Was that why you called up Jonah and had him hurry over with the agreement of transfer at the last minute?" She squinted with a gleam in her eyes.

Jasper caressed her radiant tresses and remarked, "I can't hide anything from you at all."
