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.

“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 Jaspers gift for Lyla but

hadn't expected such a grand presentation.

The 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!
