Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2376

It was a quiet night, with pin drop silence filling the hospital's VIP ward.

In the office of Jasper's primary physician, Sheryl placed a bank card on the coffee table and sipped her tea relaxedly.

"Ms. Gillis, what is the meaning of this?" Sebastian Bender stared at the black-colored bank card in shock.

Nonchalantly, Sheryl smiled and asked, "Mr. Jasper's blood test results are out. I'm sure you have identified some issues with them, haven't you, Dr. Bender?"

Sebastian hesitated. "Indeed, there was an unusual substance detected in Mr. Jasper's blood sample..."

"Methamphetamine, for instance?"

Sebastian cried out in shock, "How did you know that?"

To be frank, you've had your suspicions ever since you started treating Mr. Jasper, haven't you? His symptoms are more like those of drug addiction rather than a simple headache. Am Iright?" Sheryl pressed on, a sinister gleam in her eyes.

Sebastian's hands trembled as he held his teacup. He argued, "Patients under extreme pain could also show symptoms such as acute headaches. It might not necessarily indicate a drug addiction.'

The president of Beckett Group was being suspected of a drug addiction?

If word of this got out, not only would Beckett Group and Solana City be completely shaken, but Sebastian himself might not even survive.

He had to be careful with his words!

With a loud thunk, Sheryl placed her teacup down and lifted her lips into a cold smile.

What if these were indeed symptoms of drug addiction?"

Sebastian broke out in cold sweat. With a quiver in his voice, he probed, "Ms. Gillis, what are you actually trying to say?"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I want you, as Mr. Jasper's primary physician, to issue a conclusive test report proving that his condition results from drug abuse. Make sure to indicate each of the relevant components clearly.

There are 10 million dollars on this card. Consider it a down payment. Once your work is complete, you will receive another 20 million dollars. It will be most worthwhile for you."

Sheryl tilted her chin upward slightly, scrutinizing Sebastian with a prideful gaze. "That's 30 million dollars, Dr. Bender. It's an amount you wouldn't earn even if you toiled away in this field for years.

"Plus, I know you're in desperate need of money. Your son, studying overseas, beat someone up so badly that they were severely injured.

"Right now, he remains in the detention center, waiting for you to secure the vast sum needed for his release. And I reckon you've already spent a considerable amount on your wife's bone marrow transplant surgery, haven't you?"

Sebastian's eyes widened in shock. He felt completely exposed, as if Sheryl had stripped him bare. She had a clear hold over his weaknesses. There was no way he could refuse her.

"You're hesitating because you're afraid of smearing Jasper's name. You're worried about offending him,' Sheryl observed.

A relaxed smile spread across her face. 'Don't worry. Firstly, you've discovered a prohibited substance in Jasper's blood sample, so you won't be making a false accusation. Secondly, Beckett Group will soon be welcoming its new era.

"New era?"

Sheryl's eyes twinkled with a proud gleam. In an imprudent tone, she said, 'Jasper's health has been deteriorating. Whether he's been taking banned medications or abusing drugs, he no longer deserves his position. He can no longer be president of the corporation.

"Mr. Justin has now returned. He's the legitimate eldest son of the Becketts. His health is improving daily, and his capabilities match Jasper's. If Jasper steps down, Mr. Justin can surely take over Beckett Group completely and become the sole heir.

When that time comes, you will have made a major contribution, Dr. Bender. Mr. Justin will see that you are well taken care of in the future.

Sebastian was on edge and highly strung. But he knew he had no other choice. It was simply his misfortune to be caught in the battle between the Beckett brothers. So, he could only accept the card with resignation.

Jasper remained unconscious. Newton insisted on staying at the hospital to keep watch over him. Despite his advanced age, he forced himself to remain vigilant. No matter who tried to persuade him otherwise, he remained steadfast. He made such a fuss that Javier had no choice but to also stay back at the hospital.

Nevertheless, Justin could tell that Newton was insisting on keeping watch, despite his failing health, because he didn't want Justin to have a chance to harm Jasper.

As Justin sat outside the hospital ward, he gazed at the unconscious Jasper through the glass window on the door.

He curled his lips upward in a subtle smile.
