Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

The call was from Jason.

Jasper's face lit up. He answered the call immediately. "Hello, Mr. Derullere."

"Mr. Beckett, there's been a major upheaval at Schmidt Group!"

Jasper had sent Jason's wife and son overseas and hired professional bodyguards to ensure their safety. Jason no longer had anything to fear and could now openly join forces with his savior.

"Right now, Schmidt Group has been taken over by the acting vice president. Moreover, it has been secretly acquired by a holding company in Kontina. A company I've never heard of before," Jason explained.

A cold gleam flickered in Jasper's eyes. As an experienced businessman, he understood Jameson's intentions. He was certain Jameson was the owner of that holding company. It was a classic business tactic -repackaging oneself like old wine in a new bottle.

"Jameson is getting desperate as his dirty deeds are coming to light," Jasper said, his voice calm and deep. His mind raced. "Schmidt Group has become a risk to him. He cleaned up the mess his father and brother left behind. He was well aware of the tactics he used. He can't afford an investigation.

"The fact that his aide hired a killer has been exposed. Even if Carl admits to his crime, the police will investigate Jameson thoroughly. He'll still lose. So, the only option is to abandon Schmidt Group and escape.

"That said, he's only separating himself superficially. He set up a holding company in secret to acquire and secretly own Schmidt Group."

Jason let out a frustrated sigh. "That makes perfect sense, Mr. Beckett. Actually, I had this suspicion too!"
