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.

"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!"

"Truth be told, no external party knows what Mrs. Beckett's cause of death was. That said, our father is an extremely nosy person. Back then, he even had that buddy of his, Mr. Victor, who was a busybody. So, as much as the Becketts tried to keep everything under wraps at the time, there were
