Alyssa and Jasper climbed into the first car while Newton sat in the second. Soon, Javier walked out of the cemetery with Rory by his side, the former looking quite dejected.
"Mr. Javier," Ben greeted respectfully. "Mr. Newton is asking for you to join his car. He would like to speak to you about something." Javier's eyes darkened.
The father and son sat together in the car as if an invisible wall separated them.

All | want to do now is to send her to her death. No one can stop me." Javier gritted his teeth, cheeks flushed. "I won't, Dad. I've seen Sophia's true colors. | won't interfere anymore." "Good." Newton then said solemnly, "Jasper was originally our family's proper heir, yet because of that evil woman's doings and your neglect, you let Jasper bear the humiliation of being a bastard for 20 years.
"Now that the truth has been revealed, you should start EXking about how to return Jasper to his original status."

Newton turned to look at Javier, his eyes menacing and sharp. "Jasper has given his all to the Beckett Group as its CEO all these years but never complained even once.
"I've noticed your strong opposition to preventing him from joining the board of directors, but I've never commented.
"You know our family's situation best. Justin is crippled, and neither Betty nor Lauren is suited to take over the business. The only person who could do so is Jasper.

"In addition to that, I'll give all my shares in Brighton Technology and Alcove Travels and Entertainment Co. to Jasper as well.

Newton's words had a profound impact on Javier and the entire Beckett Group.
