The assistant said, “All the board members are there. Do you want to head over?”
Jasper’s face was cold as he walked in.
Meanwhile, in the conference room, Gresham sat at the head of the table, hands folded, looking serious.

He cleared his throat and went straight to the point. “This emergency meeting has only one point–should we remove Jasper from the CEO position?”
His voice was heavy. “You’ve all seen the news. Kain Group’s reputation can’t be ruined by this scandal. As founder, I’m taking away his CEO role temporarily and handling this myself.”
Those words immediately caused an uproar.
The directors exchanged shocked looks.
They’d thought the media reports were false, but Gresham’s statement basically confirmed Jasper had harassed his stepmother.
He was being publicly shamed.
Jasper walked in just in time to hear it.
He couldn’t believe his father would do that to him.
The executives spotted him and showed complicated expressions.
Gresham glanced at Jasper, froze for a beat, then forced a calm look.
“Jasper, you’re right on time. I’ve decided to strip you of the CEO role,” he said, voice hard. “From today, you have no position at Kain Group.”
“Is that so?”
Jasper stayed unnervingly calm. He even sat down. “Too bad your words might not mean anything.”
“What do you mean?!”
“I’ve run Kain Group since I was 20,” Jasper said slowly, tapping the table. “In ten years, our market cap went from tens of billions to hundreds of billions. Who here has done better?
“Yes, the scandal hurt, and the stock dipped. But I can fix it. Shareholders need to trust me. Or do you really want to hand the company to my weak, timid father?”
“Jasper!” Gresham roared, shaking with rage. “You ungrateful brat! How dare you speak to me like that?!”
“Wow, so tough now, huh? Not only did you harass your stepmother, but you even tried forcing yourself on her while she was pregnant! And now you don’t even see me as your father!”
The moment those words hit, Jasper signaled someone to close the conference room doors.
“Dad, this is a misunderstanding.” Jasper’s voice dropped. “Do you really want to air this in front of the board?”

Everyone here might have guessed. After the storm, they could call it media hype and move on. But Gresham’s words pinned Jasper down publicly. If it got out, Jasper would never wash it off, and the Kain Group could collapse.
Luckily, everyone in the room was on their side.
They probably wouldn’t leak it.
Gresham was losing it. Being called timid stung the most. He shouted, “Afraid people will know what you did? Louise’s injuries are proof! She’s your stepmother! You did something vile to her! Want me to call her in to show them her wounds?”
“Security!” Jasper barked. “Get him out!”
Two guards rushed in as the doors swung open.
Gresham stared, eyes wide. “How dare you?!”
Jasper stayed calm. “You’re sick. Stop talking nonsense. Go home and rest.”
He gave a signal, and the guards moved to drag Gresham out.
Gresham refused and kept shouting. Then, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the table.
Everyone jumped.
Jasper’s eyes narrowed. “Call 911 now!”
Gresham was rushed to the hospital.
The results came quickly.
“Uh… Mr. Kain tested positive for AIDS.”
The doctor hadn’t even finished before the corridor erupted.
The few directors who’d come along exchanged glances, shocked and rattled.
