Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2468

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor.

Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him.

In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision.

"Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"

Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips.

"Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.

Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy.

"As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything.

"However, as a board member, I cannot stand idly by while the corporation faces turmoil. It is my duty to share the burden."

Javier pressed his lips together so tightly that they turned pale. Still, he was left with no choice but to concur with Newton.

He had spent nearly two decades climbing to Chester's former position, gaining Newton's trust, and coming close to obtaining full management rights over Beckett Group.

Now, Newton's sudden reappearance and his renewed involvement in the corporation felt like a betrayal. It was as though Newton was reneging on his promises. Javier's face burned with frustration.

"Javier."

Newton's serious tone jolted him.

Javier straightened. "Yes, Dad?"

With a solemn look on his face, Newton said, "I'm aware of the negative public sentiment against the corporation due to recent events. The board is about to vote on whether Justin, as president, should be held accountable."

Justin remained expressionless, but his eyes dimmed.

Javier cleared his throat. "That's correct…"

"Set that aside for now. I have an important announcement."

Silence filled the room as everyone waited.

"Beckett Group will soon welcome a new board member."

The announcement sent shockwaves through the room.

Jasper and Justin sat up straight, eyes locked on Newton's calm expression.
