Can’t Win Me Back

The birthday party was about to start. Alyssa smiled. She felt glad to see Winston and Newton engaged in

an animated conversation at the front.

“Oh, is this real? That’s Newton Beckett!” a guest exclaimed.

“Hey, you’re right! He looks great for his age.”

“Newton is quite close to Mr. Taylor. It’s uncommon to see such good friendships these days. One might

mistake Mr. Taylor for Mr. Beckett’s son!”

“I heard that Javier Beckett’s wife is hosting her birthday celebration at Berenike Hotel tonight. It’s quite intriguing to see Mr. Beckett attending Lyla Nelson’s birthday party instead of attending his own family

event.”

The guests shared hushed chuckles and snorts.

“Mr. Beckett obviously doesn’t approve of his daughter-in-law, Sophia Kirkman. She’s been embroiled in bribery and counterfeit scandals for the past six months. Besides, her niece cheated on Jasper Beckett.
