Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2570

"Justin, what's going on with your Uncle Zachary's death? Why are the police investigating you?" Javier demanded. Dark circles hung beneath his eyes, clear evidence that he hadn't slept at all.

Justin crossed his legs nonchalantly, an unperturbed smile spreading across his face. "Dad, I know what you're afraid of. But what's there to fear? No matter how terrifying or perverse Uncle Zachary was, he's already dead."

Javier flew into a rage. "Me? Afraid of him? The police are after you because of his death! Cyrus Taylor took you away in front of everyone at yesterday's board meeting. The news has spread across Solana City; it's even trending online!

"Beckett Group's share price plunged into the red first thing this morning. Do you even realize how much trouble you've caused the corporation?"

Justin merely shrugged. "So what? The contract for Project A5 has already been signed, and the project is underway. Besides, we have government-backed projects supporting us. These fluctuations are only temporary."

Javier stared straight into Justin's dark, unfathomable eyes. The man before him was his son, known for his gentleness, elegance, and composure. Yet now, Justin felt like a stranger.

"Be honest with me—did you have anything to do with Zachary's release from prison? Did you pull strings to get him out? Otherwise, how could a death-row inmate from a fallen family pull something like this off without outside help?"

Justin looked at Javier as though he were a fool. Even now, Javier remained completely oblivious to Zachary's true capabilities. He was truly an idiot.

Even if Justin had orchestrated everything himself, there was no way he would admit it. He would never hand over such a damning piece of evidence.

Javier's anger only deepened at Justin's silence. In a cold voice, he declared, "Given the controversy surrounding you and the impact it's having on the company, I want you to lie low for now.

"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to Beckett Group. Jasper will handle the daily operations in your place."

"Excuse me?" A surge of rage burst from Justin's chest, sending a sharp pain through his body. Bitterness rose in his throat as he forced out, "Jasper is no longer the president of Beckett Group. What right does he have to take my place?"

"Even if Jasper isn't the current president, he used to be. In terms of experience, he far surpasses you." Javier clasped his hands behind his back and paced before Justin, his expression dark. "You're the center of public attention right now. It's inappropriate for you to appear at such a sensitive time. Just stay out of sight for the time being.
