Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2260

"Back then, the Dutton family was a wealthy family who was as highly regarded as the Beckett family is today. Mr. Javier's first wife was the second daughter of the Dutton family, Caroline Dutton. Their marriage was ordained by Mr. Newton personally and was publicly known as a marriage alliance between corporations.

"It is said that both parties barely met a few times before their marriage, so there was no opportunity for them to date romantically. In other words, their marriage wasn't built on love. Back then, the marriage alliance Mr. Newton forged with the Dutton family was only to salvage the Beckett Group, which was embroiled in some financial turmoil at the time."

As Alyssa listened to Jonah's elaboration, she looked unperturbed. "Marriage alliances between wealthy families are commonplace. Winston even wanted to have Taty marry into the Schmidt family previously."

"Mrs. Beckett only had one son, Mr. Justin. Even though the relationship between Mr. Justin's parents wasn't great, there weren't any malicious rumors at the time either. After all, the Becketts benefited from the Duttons power, and Mrs. Beckett gave birth to a son. Even if Mr. Javier has any objections about anything, there's no way that he would've shown it.

"This harmonious relationship went on until Mr. Justin turned four."

Cyrus listened intently, as if he were listening to a story. It was the same for Alyssa. She quickly prompted, "What happened after that?"

The look in Jonah's eyes dimmed. "One night, Mrs. Beckett used a shotgun to end her life by the pond in Seaview Manor."

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. She started breaking out in cold sweat. "She took her own life with a gun? But, why?"

"Damn! That's real brutal of her!"
