Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2369

Everyone in the conference room exchanged shocked glances. Even so, none of this was entirely unexpected.

Justin was the only son Javier had with his late first wife. Beckett Group and the Beckett family were originally meant for Justin to inherit as the eldest son. However, due to Justin's health issues, Javier's second son, Jasper, had been the one to benefit from Justin's health issues and take charge.

Now that Justin had returned with a clean bill of health, it was clear he intended to reclaim what he had lost. And joining Beckett Group was the first step in his quest for power.

The power dynamics within Beckett Group were poised for a major shift. A leadership change seemed inevitable. At that moment, Rory stepped forward. In a stern voice, he announced, 'We will now conduct a vote by a show of hands to decide on Mr. Justin Beckett joining Beckett Group's board as a managing director."

As soon as Rory finished, three board members enthusiastically raised their hands.

Justin remained expressionless, but Javier's eyes gleamed with approval as he glanced at the three supporters. Noticing this, the other board members began to follow suit.

After all, Justin was Javier's eldest and legitimate son, favored by him and likely to become a significant figure in the future-especially in any battle against Jasper. For the board members, approving Justin's entry was a simple decision. Resisting Javier's wishes would only invite trouble.

Moreover, some board members harbored grievances against Jasper. While he had led the company to impressive growth and profits, his upright and rigid nature alienated others. Jasper's refusal to curry favor or compromise made him a target of envy.

Before long, nearly every board member had raised their hand. The only exception was Jasper, who sat straight- backed, his eyes lowered, offering no response.

With a faint smile that didn't reach his eyes, Justin observed Jasper's impassive expression.

Jasper's deep, frigid eyes revealed no emotion, appearing as enigmatic and dark as a shadowed sea.
