Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1522

It was public knowledge that Newton, despite retiring from his role as the Beckett Group's chairman, held the company stocks and remained the shareholder and the honorary chairman across many other companies.

He remained in control of Brighton Technology and Alcove Co. Although Javier was eager to get his hands on the two companies, Newton refused to give him the opportunity.

However, Newton had breezily given Jasper power in the two companies, which was clearly an act of favoritism. It was also a subtle declaration that Jasper was the "chosen one" and the heir of Beckett Group.

He's always managed to solve the problems. Isn't that right? He's driven by challenges. Put pressure on him, and you'll help him release his potential.

I can't have them looking down at him. It's not like he's marrying up," Newton said aloud as he pictured the future marriage of Jasper and Alyssa as well as his great-grandchildren.

Javier had wanted to talk back, but he held his tongue out of fear of provoking Newton into transferring more power to Jasper.

Newton leaned back into the chair and waved dismissively at the glum-looking Javier. "You may leave the car. I'm about to have dinner with my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law. I don't want to ruin the mood, so I'm not inviting you."
