Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2410

"Sir." Sheryl immediately stood and greeted Justin respectfully as he entered the room.

"What are you doing here?" Justin's cold gaze swept over her as he strolled leisurely to the couch and sat down.

Sheryl quickly explained, "I received a parcel for you from the administrative secretary half an hour ago. I thought it might be something important, something you wouldn't want too many people to handle. So, I waited for you to return and open it personally."

"A parcel?" Justin frowned.

Why would anyone send him a parcel to Beckett Group, of all places?

How strange.

Sheryl presented the parcel to him with both hands. He took it from her and then opened it right before her.

After removing three layers of wrapping, each from outside and inside the box, the parcel turned out to contain only a plain white envelope. His expression darkened. It felt like someone was toying with him.

Then, he looked down and opened the envelope, which contained a stack of photographs. Pinching a corner with his fingers, he pulled the photographs out of the envelope slowly.

In an instant, his eyes widened, and all color drained from his usually composed face.

"Sir, what's wrong? Are you feeling okay?" Sheryl inquired in a concerned voice when she noticed that Justin looked emotionally disturbed.

"Get out," Justin growled through clenched teeth.

"But, you—"

"I said, get out."

Sheryl shuddered in fright and scurried out of Justin's office.

Once outside, she turned to glance at the heavy door, her mind racing. Justin's outburst had been terrifying—and utterly out of character. What could he have seen to provoke such a reaction?

Meanwhile, Justin was looking through the photographs in his office one by one. Every single photo was getting crumpled as rage boiled within him.

The pictures showed a young boy, battered and bloodied, confined in a filthy dog cage. Surrounding the cage were men—laughing, mocking, and mercilessly beating the boy.

Smiling candidly, Zachary continued, "Also, I should remind you that Gustav was only sentenced to life in prison, not death. Also, his younger brother, Kenneth Holm, is still alive. I hear he's recently returned to Solana City after years of wandering."

Through gritted teeth, Justin said, "Uncle Zachary, I know what I need to do. You don't have to remind me like this."

"You managed to endure all the humiliation when you were locked up in the dog cage back then. I'm sure you'll be able to take on a small matter like this with no issue. After all, you are one of us Duttons."

Suddenly, Zachary's voice deepened, as if he had become a different person. "I need to invest in Project A5."

"This is Solana City, not Kontina."

"Justin, if you can't meet my demands, you should know what I'd do next. I suppose you wouldn't be able to remain steadfast in that position as CEO, would you?"

The call ended.

Justin sat on the couch without moving a muscle. After some time, his eyes had turned bloodshot.

With a sudden outburst, he hurled his phone at the widescreen television mounted on the wall. The screen shattered, sparks flying as the phone and TV broke simultaneously.
