After the meeting, Javier and Jasper headed toward the entrance of the Beckett Group building with


    their secretaries under the protection of their security guards.


    A father and son were supposed to be close, but the two of them behaved like strangers, not speaking


    to each other on the trip.


    "Come with me to Southsmire on my private jetter. I''ve invited Darren Daneman for golf tomorrow


    morning, and I have a business cocktail party in the afternoon. These events will y a huge role in our


    future expansion and projectunches in Southsmire."


    Jasper was about to reply, but he was interrupted by a jarring honking. A Rolls Royce with the Spirit of


    Ecstasy mascot on its bo came to a stop in front of Jasper and Javier.


    Jasper squinted at the car as his heart raced.


    When the car door opened, Javier heard a melodious voice from within, even though he couldn''t make


    out the figure seated in it. "Mr. Javier, you don''t mind me picking up Jasper from work, do you?"

    Javier''s breathing grew heavy upon recognizing Alyssa''s voice. Before he could say a thing, Jasper


    had eagerly hopped into the car without even saying goodbye to him.


    After Jasper joined Alyssa in the car, he held her hand and gently kissed her on the back of her hand.


    His lips rubbed and caressed her smooth skin with much affection.


    Javier''s expression fell. He thought, "How shameless and brash of him to do so!"


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Javier." Jasper held Alyssa by her waist and stated, "I''m afraid I can''t travel with you to


    Southsmire to golf with Mr. Daneman."


    "Jasper Beckett, do not forget your role!" Javier''s expression hardened. Gritting his teeth, he hissed,


    "The partnership with Southsmire will be crucial to thepany''s expansion in the southern cities by


    the sea!


    "You can date anytime you like, but how could you prioritize romance over thepany''s interest? This


    project is very important. You''re showing yourself unfit as thepany president."


    "It took me nearly five years to lead the Beckett Group to be the toppany in Sna City and


    make myself the top tycoon. This is all to boost our stature in business negotiation. I''m not going to


    y boring golf and attend boring parties just to ink deals," Jasper dered.


    Staring lovingly at Alyssa and kissing her on the temple, he said softly, "I''d rather spend time with my


    love than waste my time in Southsmire."


    Upon hearing that, Javier clutched his fists spitefully as rage pulsed through his veins.


    Alyssa gracefully craned to peer at Javier through the car window. She remarked, "Mr. Javier, you may


    cancel the trip if it is to discuss thete-night districtmercial project with Darren Daneman of


    Oceanic Inc."


    Frowning, Javier questioned, "What do you mean?"


    "Three days ago, Mr. Daneman had agreed to jointlyunch the project with the KS Group." Beaming


    brightly, she quipped, "There, I saved you from taking a trip."


    "What did you say... How is that possible?" Javier looked shell-shocked.


    Unlike Javier, Jasper looked calm. "Mr. Daneman is a close acquaintance of Mr. Winston. Oceanic Inc.


    has worked with the KS Group on more than one asion. I researched these facts before, but you


    never believe in my words."


    After Jasper closed the car door, the Rolls Royce sped away, leaving Javier freezing on the spot.
