“Who is that? They look local.”
“I’m not sure, but don’t you think he looks a bit like Mr. Beckett?”
“I didn’t notice it before, but… he does, yeah!”
Javier’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at the screen.
It was Justin!
Why was he sitting there with Mr. Jesselton?
As if oblivious to the fact that the call had gone through, Justin was chatting merrily with the Jesseltonfather and son. They looked to have quite a friendship.
“Justin, you…” Javier was taken aback. The script he had meticulously prepared the previous nightquickly became a jumble.
Only then did Justin react by turning to the camera. He waved at Javier. “Long time no see, Dad.”
The board members were stunned.novelbin
Was this handsome, refined young man Justin Beckett, the eldest son of the Beckett family who hadnever once revealed himself publicly in Solana City?
Just then, Ezzo turned to greet Javier with a smile through the screen. “I believe we have much todiscuss regarding our partnership, Mr. Javier.”
The moment the meeting came to an end, Ben sent word of what happened to Newton.
“The company has successfully partnered up with Jesselton Incorporated, sir.”
“Oh? It went so well?” Newton was surprised to hear this. Still, it was a cause for joy. “Then we’ll havehim fly to Mosgravia to sign the agreement with Mr. Jesselton right away.”
“It’s already been signed on the spot.”
“That was fast!” Newton exclaimed. “None of us have any personal dealings with JesseltonIncorporated. Plus, several other companies in the city have also offered them favorable deals. Whydid they decide to work with us so quickly?”
There was a glint in Ben’s eyes as he said in a hushed tone, “It Mr. Justin Beckett who signed theagreement on our behalf in Mosgravia. Technically, he made this negotiation a success, not Mr. Javier.”
Newton’s expression grew solemn upon hearing that.
“Mr. Justin’s appearance alongside Mr. Jesselton and his son truly caught everyone present bysurprise. I don’t think even you yourself would’ve guessed that Mr. Justin was on such good terms withthe Jesselton family, sir.”
Naturally, Newton was able to pick up on the underlying meaning in Ben’s words.
“Do you think this eldest grandson of mine will make a sudden return to Solana City, Ben?” Newtonasked.
Ben pursed his lips, unsure how to answer that question.
“Where’s Jasper? I haven’t seen him around these past few days. Didn’t he attend the meeting?”Newton’s tone was laced with anxiety.” His position is nearly at risk here, yet he doesn’t seemconcerned. Does being CEO mean he doesn’t have to worry about this anymore?
“Mr. Newton, Mr. Jasper is… he’s currently overseas.”
“What? Where?”
Newton didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m not sure where exactly, nor could I trace him. But I didask Rosie. She said it was likely Mr. Jasper had gone to do something incredibly important for Ms.Alyssa. The kind that requires his presence and no other.”
Newton was surprised by this information. He then sighed, the anger in his chest dissipating slightly.
Alyssa’s matters were always so important to Jasper.
Newton himself knew what that felt like. Back then, he himself had doted on Jasper’s grandmother tono end. Newton had even considered giving up his position as head of the family to spend his life withher.
But…
“I’m afraid Jasper’s path forward won’t be easy anymore, Ben. powerful brooks no rivals …”
