Chapter 2382

Author: Ginger Sue
Newton's heart ached as he looked at Jasper, his favorite grandson. "Jas, you've been out for three days."

Three days.

Jasper inhaled sharply. His head started spinning, and he felt weak.

In a concerned tone, Newton asked, "Jasper, are you feeling okay?"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Jasper gulped. "It's the time when we're about to bid for such an important project for Beckett Group, but I've set us back."

"Oh, silly. It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing?" Newton stroked Jasper's head, just like he would when Jasper was a kid. "To me, no bidding or project is more important than my youngest grandson.

"Jasper, don't worry about Beckett Group. You don't have to worry about your passing out in front of the board of directors affecting your position in the corporation. You are my appointed heir. This is a fact that will not change no matter what happens."

Even though Jasper looked emotionless, Newton's words of resolution stirred something within him.

    The look in Jasper's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer. His car windows were tinted, preventing the reporters who had come after hearing the news about his health from getting a clear view of his frigid expression.Nevertheless, they pressed their faces against the car window until their features looked distorted.Jasper curled his lips downward as an inexplicable feeling of frustration simmered within him. He lifted his hand and dug into the knot of his tie, tugging it downward. "Mr. Beckett! I heard that you were hospitalized for several days after collapsing in front of everyone. Do you actually have health problems?""If there are no issues with your health, please step forward and clarify to put the public at ease.""Beckett Group's shares were somewhat affected when the stock market opened today. This was surely related to your hospitalization. Could you share some comments with us?" Jasper's car drove out of the crowd and into the underground parking lot with great difficult

    Xavier approached Cyrus hastily, his smile stretching from ear to ear when he saw someone from the Taylor family."Are you here to see Mr. Beckett? Come upstairs with us!" he invited in an especially friendly manner."No need for that," Cyrus replied, his expression stern. He continued formally, "We are here to see Mr. Beckett. We need him to come back to the station to cooperate with our investigation."By this time, a crowd of Beckett Group's employees had gathered. They all heard Cyrus clearly. He had used the word "cooperate", not "assist". One word made all the difference.Xavier's mind raced. He instantly lowered his voice and pleaded, "Chief Taylor, this doesn't look good with so many people watching. Can we continue our conversation upstairs?"Cyrus knitted his brows tightly. He was extremely well-versed in the procedures. But this time, Jasper was the person he was taking away personally—the man who almost became his brother-in-law, the one who had risked his life rep

    Rio approached Jasper and confidently flashed out the arrest warrant, deliberately raising his voice so everyone present could hear. "Mr. Jasper Beckett, you are suspected of drug abuse. Please come with us!" The moment he spoke, it was as if the skies had crashed down, catching everyone completely off guard. Jasper raised his eyebrows, his temples throbbing. "Drug abuse… You're claiming Jasper took drugs? That's slander!" Javier's face turned pale with shock. Xavier's head buzzed. He almost passed out upon hearing Rio's accusation. Rio stated calmly, "We will not arrest anyone without proof." Cyrus gritted his teeth in anger, clenching his hands into fists. He would never believe that Jasper would do drugs! Yet, he had no way to involve himself in the case. He couldn't prove Jasper's innocence, no matter how much he wanted to.The Beckett Group employees present had heard Rio's words. Their jaws dropped, and they began chattering among themselves.Within an hour, news

    "How could that be?" Sean's eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Justin relies on a wheelchair wherever he goes, and has to be on medications all year round. He needs constant care. "How could someone like him take up the position of president? Also, Mr. Jasper has Mr. Newton's support and has reconciled with Javier. "How could Mr. Justin take down Mr. Jasper and take over his position? Does he even have anyone supporting him? "How is he going to manage with his condition? He will end up falling even after he takes that position. Mr. Newton is not going to just sit back and watch!""Still, there are only two heirs to Beckett Group—Justin and Jasper." Alyssa closed her eyes tight and fell into deep thought. She bit her lip. "If Jasper collapses, the entire corporation will be negatively affected. "No matter how much Grandpa Newton loves him, he would have to take their family into consideration too. Plus, don't forget that Mr. Javier is no longer biased toward Jasper since Justin return

    Despite possessing tremendous willpower, the sensation felt like living hell to Jasper."Do you know what this is?" Rio questioned.Jasper asked in a low voice, "What is it?" "It is known as Crystal Ice," Rio explained. "It's a new type of drug, currently the most addictive and lethal on the market."Jasper's pupils constricted, and his breathing became uneven. "What is it again?" "Mr. Beckett, now that we have concrete evidence, there's no need to continue this charade in front of me, is there?" Rio stated, standing before Jasper and studying him with a frigid gaze. "Come clean with us. Don't waste our time or yours. You're the president of a corporation; I know your time is precious."This is your first offence, so you won't receive a severe sentence. You should take responsibility for your actions. Don't dwell on it."Jasper lowered his eyes, a frown deepening on his face. Zealous balls of rage burned in his eyes. Sheryl had given him those pills. In other words, Justin h

    Jasper sat upright next to Steven, looking unperturbed. Yet deep within, he held immense admiration for the man beside him. Born into nobility, Jasper was naturally aloof, and Steven's humility and poise were qualities Jasper rarely encountered, even among the elite circles. Only a select few had ever earned his respect. If he managed to navigate this ordeal and return safely to the Beckett Group, he already resolved to approach Steven personally. He would offer Steven the position of the company's legal advisor, with remuneration entirely at Steven's discretion—a gesture of Jasper's utmost sincerity. As the interrogation progressed, Rio's confidence began to falter. His expression grew stiffer with each passing moment until he finally let out a frustrated sigh. He was cornered.Steven, exuding the authority of a judge, spoke firmly. "It's one thing to summon my client for questioning or harbor suspicions about him. But every case must adhere to one fundamental principle—procedu

    "Mr. Beckett's blood sample contained methamphetamine…" Rio's eyes widened in shock. He knew this substance all too well—it was a component found in crystal meth.Sebastian hesitated, then lowered his voice. "Also, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Beckett was hospitalized due to severe withdrawal symptoms. He didn't take his drugs on time, and his body couldn't handle it. Would this count as evidence?""Dr. Bender, thank you for the crucial information you've provided. We greatly appreciate your assistance in this case!" Rio shook Sebastian's hand vigorously, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.Meanwhile, just around the corner, Cyrus stood with his back against the wall. He had heard every single word of their exchange. His chest burned with rage as he clenched his teeth. Pulling out his phone, he quickly texted Alyssa. "Lyse, the situation has changed. I can't join the investigation, but you must save Jasper this time."…An hour later, Rio strode back into the interrogati

    The complexity of Jasper's case far exceeded Rio's expectations. There were so many underlying factors! "Firstly, I didn't know this was a narcotic, Chief Olson," Jasper explained calmly. "As you mentioned, this is a new drug that's only emerged in Solana City over the past two months. Most people haven't encountered it yet. Even someone as informed as you likely just started learning about it. How could I have known?"Secondly, I wouldn't have taken it if I'd known it was a narcotic. I'm dealing with health issues right now. Taking drugs would only harm me further. Why would I jeopardize my own life? Why would I not want to live a long life?"Jasper's posture was upright, exuding an air of sternness reminiscent of a disciplined soldier. His righteous demeanor made it hard to believe he was a man struggling with drug addiction. Who could look at him and think otherwise?While Rio mulled over the situation, Steven interjected with a serious tone. "Chief Olson, I strongly suggest qu

    Jasper's eyes glimmered as he walked to Julien's side. His trembling hand found Julien's shoulder, gripping it firmly. They exchanged a solemn look. No words were needed.Sheryl's heart pounded with urgency, sweat beading on her forehead. The evidence was undeniable—she had no immediate way out. All she could do was lash out in a desperate attempt to sow confusion."Even with these reports, all they prove is that Mr. Jasper didn't do drugs. It was just a misunderstanding! How can you accuse Mr. Justin of orchestrating this?"Alyssa stepped forward, her expression glacial. A smirk played on her lips as she questioned, "If Sir had nothing to do with it… does that mean you did?"Sheryl's eyes widened in fury. "Sir and I have never—"She cut herself off abruptly, her breath hitching. A cold sweat broke over her skin. She had just called Justin "Sir" in public—his greatest taboo.Alyssa. That bitch. She had set her up.Justin's pale face remained unreadable, but the tension in his

    Julien's questions sent the hall into an uproar. In an instant, the number of viewers on the live stream shot up to 50 million, and the comment section exploded."Dr. Lovelace has presented Mr. Jasper's examination reports. He never did drugs—he was framed! This is undeniable!""He risked his life to save Ms. Alyssa, yet ended up being manipulated, dismissed, and investigated like a criminal. He almost carried a lifelong stain on his name. What a despicable move by whoever did this!"Then, a comment appeared, saying, "Wasn't it Justin Beckett, the current president of Beckett Group, who orchestrated all of this? He set up his own younger brother just to seize power. What a vile man!"Yet, less than two seconds later, the comment vanished.But no matter how many trolls swarmed in or how quickly posts were deleted, the public's outrage could not be silenced. Suspicion against Justin surged, and tens of thousands of negative comments flooded the chat.Julien stood below the stage,

    The once lively and fashion-loving Julien now seemed like a star that had lost its light. The radiance that once defined him had vanished. Julien walked past Jonah without stopping. The short distance between them gave Jonah a painfully clear view of the cross-shaped scar on Julien's cheek. His heart wrenched, the pain so intense that his vision blurred. He staggered. "Jonah, are you alright?" Fortunately, Landon was beside him and caught him just in time. Staring at Julien's slim figure, Jonah parted his dry lips, but no words came out.Bitterness filled the back of his throat, and his longing for Julien sent sharp, stabbing pains through his body.Julien stopped beside Jasper, offering him a small smile and a nod as a greeting.Then, his gaze turned fierce as he locked eyes with Justin's hypocritical expression."My name is Julien Lovelace. I was once Mr. Jasper's primary physician. Approximately six months ago, Mr. Jasper made a deal with Jameson to rescue Ms. Alyssa w

    Alyssa stood at the doorway, her slim figure framed against the light, yet she seemed to tower over the room. Her presence commanded attention, filling the hall with an air of reverence and grandeur. From across the room, Jasper's dark eyes burned with intensity. To him, Alyssa was like a golden phoenix, its wings unfurling as it soared, radiating brilliance over everything in its wake. "Lyse!"Jonah and Landon stared in shock. They hadn't expected Alyssa to show up at the press conference. Camera flashes erupted once more."It's Ms. Alyssa Taylor!""We should address her properly now—she's the head of KS Group!" "Wait… Is she here to support Jasper? I thought they broke up?""What do you even know? They used to be in love!" Justin narrowed his eyes at Alyssa's frigid, determined expression. Slowly, his lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.Alyssa met his gaze, suppressing the hatred surging within her. Then, with an air of composure, she turned to the crowd. "W

    "That's rubbish. I never asked you to do anything like that!" Sheryl's bloodshot eyes burned with fury. She clenched her fists, longing to silence Sebastian."I didn't expect you to admit it," Sebastian said coldly. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his phone. After scrolling briefly, he held it up for all to see. "You were wary of me recording our conversations, but you never suspected I'd install a hidden camera in my office. This footage clearly shows you bribing and threatening me. With this evidence, denial is futile!"The crowd turned to Sheryl, their gazes heavy with shock and suspicion. When their eyes shifted to Justin, doubt lingered in the air.Sheryl's heart sank, her face draining of color.As cautious as she was, she had miscalculated. But it didn't matter. She had carried out the task herself, avoiding any direct mention of Justin's orders. Justin could still be saved.It was Sheryl who had fallen short in her responsibilities, and she was ready to tak

    Jasper's eyes blazed with fury as he locked his gaze on Justin, a sharp, determined gleam in his dark eyes. "I will clear my name and restore my reputation, no matter the cost!" he declared, his voice ringing with resolve.The tension between Justin, standing on stage, and Jasper, positioned below, was palpable—like a killer whale facing off with a great white shark. The outcome was still uncertain."I, Landon Harper, swear on my name and the entirety of Harper Group that Jasper never did drugs. The whole situation was a setup!" Landon's voice resounded throughout the entire hall. The reporters buzzed with questions. "Who would do such a thing?"Landon refrained from directly naming Justin, aware that exposing the wolf in sheep's clothing would not be easy. Accusing him too hastily might provide Justin with an opportunity to counterattack, exploiting any gaps in their case.Landon had no fear of tarnishing his own reputation, but he was deeply concerned about the damage it m

    Everyone turned to look behind them.Justin's icy gaze locked onto the doors, his expression dark and foreboding. The light pouring in from outside was blinding, piercing through the shadows like a blade. As the crowd squinted against the glare, two figures emerged, standing tall and resolute side by side.It was Jasper and Landon. Clad in a sleek black suit, Landon bore traces of dust but appeared otherwise unscathed. Jasper, however, was a stark contrast. His clothes were torn and bloodied, his appearance disheveled, but his demeanor was anything but defeated. Standing straight and proud, his frigid stare was enough to make the crowd shrink back, unwilling to meet his eyes."Mr. Justin," Landon began, his voice sharp and cutting, "you've gone to great lengths to keep Jasper from this press conference."Ever the rebel with the air of a street-hardened fighter, Landon didn't mince words. "To stop him, you sent assassins to ambush him. You had your people block his way in the

    Meanwhile, the light above one of Taylor General Hospital's emergency surgery theaters flickered off. Moments later, the door swung open, and a doctor emerged, pulling down his surgical mask. Mandy hurried toward the doctor, her eyes brimming with worry. "How is that poor man doing?" "Mrs. Taylor, it's fortunate you brought him in when you did. Ten minutes later, and we might not have been able to save him. He went into shock from excessive blood loss, but he's stable now. I gave him a transfusion and sutured his wounds. He'll need rest and proper nutrition to recover fully."Relief washed over Mandy, and her tense body slackened. Her knees nearly buckled as she murmured, "Thank God… Thank God!" Once the doctor departed, Mandy instructed her driver to purchase the best blood-replenishing supplements available, sparing no expense.The driver had only been employed by the Taylor family for the past two years, so he was unaware of the true reasons behind Mandy's actions. To him, h

    Soon enough, Jasper and Jonah found themselves surrounded by a horde of fighters. The atmosphere was charged with a vicious, merciless tension that heightened their awareness. They were now in the underground parking lot of Berenike Hotel.This was one of the Beckett family's properties, with Newton overseeing the construction personally.Berenike Hotel had always been the leader among all the five-star hotels in Solana City. Yet, on this day, when a critical press conference was about to begin, Justin chose to start a massacre in the hotel's parking lot, disregarding the potential damage to the hotel's reputation. His actions were utterly insane and perverse. "Shall we each take down ten of them?" Jonah nudged Jasper with his elbow. Narrowing his eyes, he added, "The press conference starts in ten minutes. Think you can wrap this up by then?"A cold, fierce glint flashed in Jasper's usually dull eyes. "I'll take down 15 and leave five for you." "Why only five for me?"Jasp
