Tatiana was always considerate and grateful, so Alyssa never really knew how to pamper her.


    “Taty! Are you back in the city?” Alyssa asked happily over the phone.


    “Yep, I’m at the school,” Tatiana replied. She sheepishly asked, “Um… Are you doing anything


    tonight?”


    “You wanna hang out?” Alyssa immediately knew what Tatiana was up to.


    “Mhm!” Tatiana eagerly answered. “We haven’t had a chance to properly spend time together


    since you came home. Why don’t we have dinner tonight? My treat!”


    “Just dinner? No drinks after?” Alyssa teased.


    Tatiana’s tone took on a mischievous edge. “Drinks afterward, then! We’ll go for some karaoke too.


    We haven’t had that much fun in ages. I’ll definitely sing better than you.”


    “Hahaha! You’re on!” Alyssaughed. “We’ll see who’s the final victor tonight!”


    During the board meeting at the Beckett Group, Javier emphasized three critical directives. The


    first was to eliminate any negative consequences resulting from the actions of Sophia and Henry,


    with the aim of halting thepany’s tarnished reputation and preventing a decline in its stock


    value in the market.


    Secondly, Javier called for the removal of all of Henry’s authority and his official title. He also


    urged for immediate investigations into the projects that Henry had overseen, along with interrogations


    of all relevant personnel involved. 1


    Finally, to strip away Sophia’s authority and title on the board. He emphasized that any additional


    changes would be contingent upon thepletion of the ongoing investigations.


    Everyone left the conference room feeling like they had just participated in a war, feeling


    thoroughly exhausted and stressed.


    “Stay back, Jasper. I want to have a word with you,” Javier said to his son before thetter could

    leave.


    Jasper turned around silently and went to sit back in his seat.


    +15 BONOS:


    The atmosphere grew heavy and tense, even though it was just the two of them.


    Javier cleared his throat and asked sternly, “How would you handle this issue as CEO?”


    “In ordance with standard procedure, without any bias or personal feelings involved.” Jasper’s


    tone was calm and t.


    He continued, “All Sophia can do now is to cooperate with the Investigative Bureau and tell them


    all she knows about this. There’s no other way to recover her for the time being.”


    “I will find a way to get her out of there!” Javier swore vehemently.


    “Do you really think you can?” Jasper asked. “I heard that the investigating officer handling


    Henry’s case is Ss Taylor.”


    “Ss Taylor?”


    “Winston Taylor’s second eldest son and Alyssa’s second elder brother.”


    Javier’s breathing caught nervously, and he leaned back into his chair as if he’d just seen a ghost.


    “Alyssa has had a knife against our throats from the start. Of course, it’s without a doubt that


    Sophia and Henry are to me for getting themselves into this mess too.


    “As President of thepany, you need to start thinking for the good of the big picture. For example,


    making contingency ns for our stocks crashing on the market.” Jasper sped his hands together,


    ready to rise from his seat. He no longer wished to discuss this.


    “Wait!” Javier cried. “You know Dr. Frederick Gunn from Yoarkley, don’t you? If we can get him to


    be our biomedical department’s specialist cum consultant, our reputation will surely


    recover! Contact him right away and persuade him toe on board!”


    Jasper narrowed his eyes just the slightest. “Alright.”


    Javier’s shoulders finally rxed. But just when he thought things had calmed down, Jasper


    suddenly said, “On one condition.”


    “Yes?”


    “You make me Vice President of thepany board.”
