Chapter 673
Alyssa couldn’t help but sit up straight, her heart pounding as she fixed her gaze on the
stage.
Miley instantly picked up on the change in Alyssa’s behavior as they were seated next to
each other. The
look in her eyes deepened.
All eyes in the room shifted from Jameson to the stage.
Underneath the stage, Newton gleefully patted Jonah and Victor, who were seated beside
him. “Heh heh!
It’s time for my grandson’s gift!”
Newton was confident that Jasper wouldn’t let Jameson steal the limelight with an inferior
gift..
“By the way, Victor, judging from your son’s behavior… Is he interested in Alice?” Newton
wondered
curiously with an arched brow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Alice?”
“Ah, sorry. It’s Alyssa’s nickname. I’m used to calling her that,” Newton explained. He
hadn’t shaken off the
habit.
Victor pursed his lips with an unreadable expression on his face. He remarked, “Jimmy, my
fourth son,
has been living abroad without my supervision for a long time. I have no idea what’s on
his mind.”
“Don’t you think he’s making his intentions clear by giving Lyla a 30-million-dollar
antique?” Newton asked
with a wry smile and a raised brow.
“It seems your youngest son is quite interested in Alyssa.”
Victor offered a tight-lipped smile, trying to divert the conversation. “I don’t know much
about the affairs
of young people.”
Newton leaned back with a triumphant smile and continued, “Well, let me offer you some
advice. Lyse
will eventually date my grandson. You should talk to Jameson about this.
“There are plenty of other women out there who are more suitable for him. He shouldn’t
waste his time on
someone who won’t choose him.”
Victor smiled at him, looking shocked and abashed. Even Jonah looked quite taken aback
as he
concealed a small grin.
Newton could be quite unpredictable sometimes, which was a testament to his charisma
in his
days.

Back on the stage, Jameson wore a sullen expression. He had anticipated Jasper’s gift for
Lyla but hadn’t expected such a grand presentation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe emcee had placed a tray on the table. A cloth was draped across the gift.
Jameson stared unhappily at Jasper, who showed up poised and calm. Jasper addressed
Lyla, “Madam
Lyla, this is my gift for you.”
Then, he stood right next to Jameson, like a figure out of an oil painting.
Smiling, he said to Lyla, “I wish you a very happy birthday. May everything go well for
you.”
Jasper’s class and manners were typical of a gentleman. Newton was grinning under the
stage, thinking that Jasper looked way better than the four-eyed Jameson.
Alyssa cast a complicated glance at Jasper. She was curious about his gift for Lyla.
Jameson’s expensive antique gift had set a high bar. What could Jasper possibly present to
outshine him?
“Thank you for your kind wishes. I’m honored to have you and Mr. Newton Beckett at my
party,” Lyla gracefully expressed her gratitude.
Winston gave Jasper an amused look. Despite his silence, he was upset at Jasper, who had
deeply hurt Alyssa. How bold of him to show up at his family’s event!
