Chapter 240
Tatiana was always considerate and grateful, so Alyssa never really knew how to pamper her.
“Taty! Are you back in the city?” Alyssa asked happily over the phone.
“Yep, I’m at the school,” Tatiana replied. She sheepishly asked, “Um… Are you doing anything
tonight?”
“You wanna hang out?” Alyssa immediately knew what Tatiana was up to.
“Mhm!” Tatiana eagerly answered. “We haven’t had a chance to properly spend time together
since you came home. Why don’t we have dinner tonight? My treat!”
“Just dinner? No drinks after?” Alyssa teased.
Tatiana’s tone took on a mischievous edge. “Drinks afterward, then! We’ll go for some karaoke too.
We haven’t had that much fun in ages. I’ll definitely sing better than you.”
“Hahaha! You’re on!” Alyssa laughed. “We’ll see who’s the final victor tonight!”
During the board meeting at the Beckett Group, Javier emphasized three critical directives. The
first was to eliminate any negative consequences resulting from the actions of Sophia and Henry,
with the aim of halting the company’s tarnished reputation and preventing a decline in its stock
value in the market.
Secondly, Javier called for the removal of all of Henry’s authority and his official title. He also
urged for immediate investigations into the projects that Henry had overseen, along with interrogations of all relevant personnel involved. 1
Finally, to strip away Sophia’s authority and title on the board. He emphasized that any additional
changes would be contingent upon the completion of the ongoing investigations.
Everyone left the conference room feeling like they had just participated in a war, feeling
thoroughly exhausted and stressed.
“Stay back, Jasper. I want to have a word with you,” Javier said to his son before the latter could
leave.
The atmosphere grew heavy and tense, even though it was just the two of them.
“Silas Taylor?”
