"Sir, I'm really sorry for troubling you. You even had to make arrangements for me," Sheryl said apologetically.
"I just made use of my connections. It's nothing. Besides, I figured they'd summon you-Jasper did get his medications from you, after all." Sheryl, still shaken from earlier, lowered her gaze. "Is that cop, Olson, one of us? He seemed eager to arrest Jasper, so I thought you might have recruited him. But during the interrogation, he was relentless. He wouldn't go easy onat all." "He is one of Mr. Barrett's men. That's enough for now." Sheryl mulled over it for a moment. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Sir, Jasper can only be charged for drug use.

But opposition was equally fierce.
"The share price has plummeted for three days since Mr. Jasper's incident. We've lost billions. How do we recover from that?" "Even if he avoids prison, this scandal will stain his reputation permanently. The public knows, and it's already damaging Beckett el.ne Group's image.
