Jasper smiled slightly at Jason as he got into the car. He extended his hand first.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Derullere." "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Beckett." Jason shook Jasper's hand. Jasper's strength and composure eased Jason's nervousness.

"Please forgive my bluntness, Mr. Beckett. I am a lawyer for Schmidt Group. Meetingprivately like this... Isn't it inappropriate?" Jason was both stating a fact and testing him at the stime.

"While we may be on opposing sides," Jasper explained seriously, "I share your deep grudge against Jameson. However, I've always believed the guilty should be held accountable. I'm a fair man and won't target the innocent." "Moreover," Jasper continued, his posture unwavering, "I have a feeling we're not enemies, but rather friends on opposite sides." "Friends..." Jason's eyes welled up. He couldn't believe his ears.

"Since you risked meeting me," Jasper's gentle voice resonated with Jason, "I believe you acknowledgeas an ally. Am I right, Mr. Derullere?" Upon hearing that, Jason, a distinguished lawyer in his 50s, burst into tears in front of Jasper.

"I can't take it anymore, Mr. Beckett!" he cried out. "Working for Jameson another day is unbearable. We're not even human to him, just expendable pawns! "Mr. Victor, though flawed, cared forand my family. But since his passing, Jameson has my partner and son under constant surveillance. He knows my loyalty to Mr. Victor and uses their safety to control me. Betrayal would mean their lives are in danger. It's a despicable strategy!" Jasper frowned when he heard Jason's laments. Xavier, on the other hand, sighed in exasperation.

"Schmidt Group is a façade for Jameson's illegal activities," Jason continued. "He's involved in smuggling, drug trafficking, and various criminal enterprises. He's lawless! He even askedto tamper with Mr. Victor's will." Jasper's gaze darkened. "What about the will?" "Anticipating his health decline, Mr. Victor hadwitness him writing his will. He left nothing to Jameson, neither control of Schmidt Group nor any family assets." Jason's anger was evident. "Jameson seized everything by force!" Jasper's gaze sharpened. "Can I ask you a question, Mr. Derullere?" "Of course, if I can answer." "Did Jameson have anything to do with Mr. Victor's death?" Jason faltered. "Though I didn't witness it... I'm sure he was involved. Mr. Victor had a heart condition, but with timely medication, he wouldn't require emergency measures.

"Mr. Jameson was with him that day when his condition flared up. Mr. Victor always carried Nitroglycerin. But that day, of all days, he skipped his medication.

"Later, I confirmed that the medication wasn't on him. Who else but Jameson could have watched Mr. Victor suffer and do nothing?" "That's a logical conclusion," Xavier said, "but we lack evidence." Jason shook his head, defeated and angry.

l"Jameson has committed countless crimes. While Mr. Victor's death was unfortunate, we can still find other ways to persecute Jameson." Jasper fixated on Jason with a serious expression. "Mr. Derullere, would you be willing to cforward and testify about Jameson tampering with the will and his illegal takeover?" "I would, but I fear for my family..." "Don't worry. My wife and I will do all we can to protect you and your family. I can send your wife and son overseas on my private jet. Even Jameson wouldn't be able to track them, and if he's that capable, he can scour the entire world for them. "Once things settle here, I'll reunite you. Does that sound agreeable?" Jasper offered sincerely.

Gratitude filled Jason's eyes as he wiped away his tears. He nodded. "Alright. I'll do everything in my power to get rid of that scum!" Inside the car, the three solidified their plan. Afterward, Jason left.

"Xavier," Jasper instructed, influenced by Alyssa's caution, "take smen and discreetly follow Jason. I'm worried about his safety." "On it!" Xavier immediately exited the car.

Jasper then headed toward Beckett Group in his black MPV. During the drive, his phone rang. It was Alyssa, her voice laced with urgency. "Jasper, cto the station@ight away. Nicholas wants to see us!"
