Alyssa and Jasper shot one another a knowing look, their hearts beating in
unison.
Javier's face had long paled as he watched them leave. It felt like all the blood in
his veins had turned to ice.
There were three luxury cars waiting outside the cemetery.
Alyssa and Jasper climbed into the first car while Newton sat in the second.
Soon, Javier walked out of the cemetery with Rory by his side, the former looking
quite dejected.
"Mr. Javier," Ben greeted respectfully. "Mr. Newton is asking for you to join his
car. He would like to speak to you about something."
Javier's eyes darkened.
The father and son sat together in the car as if an invisible wall separated them.
"Did you want to talk to me, Dad?" Javier asked quietly.
Newton said calmly as he stared straight ahead, "Now that Sophia has admitted
to her crime, only death awaits her—unless you still have feelings for her and
plan on reducing her sentence.
"I'm still going to make myself clear right now—I will definitely make Sophia pay
her life in return for taking Jasper's mother's. I have tolerated her vile acts for
years. All I want to do now is to send her to her death. No one can stop me."
Javier gritted his teeth, cheeks flushed. "I won't, Dad. I've seen Sophia's true
colors. I won't interfere anymore."
"Good."
Newton then said solemnly, "Jasper was originally our family's proper heir, yet
because of that evil woman's doings and your neglect, you let Jasper bear the
humiliation of being a bastard for 20 years.
"Now that the truth has been revealed, you should start thinking about how to
return Jasper to his original status.”
Javier sullenly said, "Yes, I understand. I really did wrong both Jasper and Anne
in this."
"How do you intend to make it up to Jasper?"
"Too many things have gone on in the past two days. I'm dealing with them one
by one. Once I'm done, I'll think things through.”
"I know you're busy, so I've already thought about it on your behalf.” Newton
turned to look at Javier, his eyes menacing and sharp. "Jasper has given his all
to the Beckett Group as its CEO all these years but never complained even once.
"I've noticed your strong opposition to preventing him from joining the board of
directors, but I've never commented.
"You know our family's situation best. Justin is crippled, and neither Betty nor
Lauren is suited to take over the business. The only person who could do so is
Jasper.

shares in my name to him so he can
have more authority in the company.
