Chapter 1920
In Mosgravia, Justin was seated behind a sculpted wooden screen in a tea room filled with incense smoke. Dressed in white, helooked elegant, divine, and otherworldly, like he had walked out of a painting. He was in the middle of a chess game with Sheryl.
"Sir, we got news from Solana City. Javier Beckett has completely given up on Betty," Sheryl muttered quietly. "The paternity testresult you dropped at the press conference was a huge blow to Mr. Javier."
"That was expected.” Justin lowered his gaze. He said indifferently, "Sophia Kirkman was useless. You can't expect much fromher daughter.
"| knew Betty wasn't a Beckett many years ago. | was aware of Sophia Kirkman's secrets as well."
"Were you? Why didn't you call them out?" Sheryl looked taken aback. "Sophia Kirkman abused her position as the familymatriarch to misappropriate company funds. Weren't you worried about her actions? What if she got her hands on the companystocks or made Javier Beckett her puppet as she took control of the company? Were you not worried that she would be athreat?"
"| was not worried at all." Picking up a crystal chess piece, he calmly captured her knight. “Sophia Kirkman was greedy, but sheoverestimated her might. Besides, my grandpa was keeping an eye on company affairs. She'd be delusional to think that shecould gain control.
"Since | was absent from Solana City, | needed someone to keep Jasper in check. Otherwise, life would be too smooth sailing, orin other words, boring for my dear brother. Too bad, Sophia Kirkman let me down."
Sheryl finally came to understand Justin's strategy of killing with a borrowed knife. Although Sophia suffered a total defeat in theend, her presence ensured that Jasper failed to gain a foothold in the company and contributed to his deteriorating relationshipwith Javier.
"Call Mr. Schmidt when you're free." Justin gracefully took a sip of tea. "This is the start of a new round of the game. I've offeredhim enough help. Now, the ball is in his court."

Late at night, a medical staff shuffled down the empty corridor, dressed in a doctor's coat and wearing a mask. He pushed openthe door to the patient's room and wheeled in a cart. After that, he locked the door behind him.
Preston remained awake in bed. Intubated, he stared at the ceiling. He was immobile due to being handcuffed to the bed railing.
For a moment, he appeared pitiful and vulnerable, even looking like a victim. One could never tell that he was a psycho whomurdered his own dad.
"Preston Harper, it's time to take your meds."
Upon hearing that, he turned to look at the staff who had just entered. Suddenly, he felt his heart racing. His eyes were filled withfear. Preston was about to scream when the man taped his mouth.
Eyes bulging from the panic, he trembled so violently that the bed rattled.

Jordan took a syringe from the stainless steel tray on the cart. The needle was thick.
