“Don’t cross the line, Jasper Beckett!” Javier cried, slamming his hand on the desk.
“Business is business, Dad. Keep the personal things out of it. That’s what you’ve always taught us
Jasper languidly leaned into his chair, expression calm.
“You’re greedy, that’s what you are! Haven’t you had enough? What should have been Justin’s post
was given to you already, yet now you still want to aim for the board? Why don’t you just swap in
as President yourself?” Javier roared.
Jasper sneered, shooting his father a cold glare. “Haven’t you benefited more from me being in my
current position? Ever since I was young, you have set a price on every single thing I wanted to
attain.
“You know full well why I’m in the CEO’s chair today, so why act like the innocent victim here?
We’re the only ones in this room. Don’t you get tired of putting on this act?”
Javier was left red–faced and speechless.
“Me as VP, in exchange for the company’s salvation from a serious crisis. It’s your choice.” Jasper
stood up from his seat and went to the door.
Before he left, he looked back and said, “Of course, you could continue insisting on Sophia to
become VP if you don’t mind things spiraling further out of control.”
When Jasper returned to his office, it felt like a great weight had been lifted from his chest. He closed the door behind him and took a deep breath, flexing his clenched fists.
He hadn’t had that much fun in ages.
Seeing Javier suffer for Sophia’s crimes and feeling helpless in meeting his demands was so refreshing and welcoming. It felt like he had been rejuvenated with a life elixir. 1
Still, Jasper had to admit that he couldn’t have done it without Alyssa’s help.
He had only planned to push Sophia out from the board, not cause such a commotion as to crash.
