Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2382

Newton's heart ached as he looked at Jasper, his favorite grandson. "Jas, you've been out for three days." Three days.

Jasper inhaled sharply. His head started spinning, and he felt weak.

In a concerned tone, Newton asked, "Jasper, are you feeling okay?"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Jasper gulped. "It's the time when we're about to bid for such an important project for Beckett Group, but I've set us back."

"Oh, silly. It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing?" Newton stroked Jasper's head, just like he would when Jasper was a kid. "To me, no bidding or project is more important than my youngest grandson.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Jasper, don't worry about Beckett Group. You don't have to worry about your passing out in front of the board of directors affecting your position in the corporation. You are my appointed heir. This is a fact that will not change no matter what happens."

Even though Jasper looked emotionless, Newton's words of resolution stirred something within him.

*Just focus on resting up and recuperating. I will take charge of everything else on your behalf," Newton assured.

There was a quiver in Jasper's eyes. "I'm fine now. I can be discharged today."

Xavier protested immediately, "Mr. Beckett, there's no rush. Do not force yourself!'

"The bidding for Project A5 is happening early next month. It is just around the corner. We can't afford to have any other hiccups, "Jasper uttered calmly while skillfully and casually pulling out the cannula on the back of his hand.

"Xavier, get me my clothes. I'm going back to Beckett Group."

No one could stop Jasper when he was being stubborn.

In the end, neatly dressed, he headed back to Beckett Group Tower by car. Xavier went along with him.

Jasper closed his eyes and rested the entire way. His well-defined face looked dejected and haggard.

What replayed in his mind over and over was the sinister smile he saw on Justin's face at the final moment before he fell unconscious during the board meeting that day.

That smile revealed a hint of excitement over a long-awaited moment. Justin did not look surprised at all. It was as if everything that happened was as he had expected.

"That's strange. Why are there so many reporters gathered at the entrance to the corporation?' Xavier peered out the window, his brows knitted together.

Jasper instructed, "Go to the underground parking lot."

Xavier then drove the car down to the underground parking lot. Nevertheless, quite a number of reporters were also gathered here. They charged forward and surrounded Jasper's car when they saw it approaching.

"Mr. Beckett! It is said that your current health condition is quite worrying, and that you might not be able to manage the corporation in the future. Could you comment on this?"
