NovelEnglishChapter 558
The Bennett Estate was buzzing with excitement, its grand mansion lit up like a beacon, signaling something big
was happening. The courtyard was packed with luxury cars of all makes and models, as movers and shakers
from the business and social scenes made their entrances, adding their own sparkle to the night.
Ever since Josh passed away, the Bennett family hadn't hosted any gatherings. Everett, in particular, had been
buried in work, too busy to make any social appearances, leaving folks with no chance to connect or network
with him.
But tonight, things were about to shift.
After three long years, Everett was introducing the new Mrs. Bennett to society, along with their three-year-old
son. A man with a family is a man looking to reconnect with his loved ones, which also means he's more likely to
show up at social events. Plus, it opened up the possibility of influencing him through his wife.
Everett, dressed to the nines in a formal black velvet three-piece suit, looked every bit the noble gentleman. He
mingled with the guests, champagne in hand, but his eyes kept darting towards the entrance.
Upstairs, in one of the rooms.
Little Mateo sat sulking on a small sofa, his cheeks resting on his hands, clearly not in a party mood.
Alex walked in and saw the tiny suit she'd laid out for him still untouched on the bed, and she couldn't help but

Kneeling down to his level, she gently asked, "Hey champ, the party's about to kick off. Why aren't you dressed
yet?"
Mateo gave her a look, then suddenly blurted, "Alex, is Dad really going to get engaged to someone else?"
He hadn't quite grasped what engagement meant at first, but after hanging around his dad at the Bennett
Corporation and overhearing schatter, he had put two and two together. Engagement meant his dad would
live with another woman, and if his mom couldn't get him back, he'd have to call this stranger '"Mom' and be her
son.
He didn't want anyone else; he just wanted his mom.
Alex sighed internally at this. The kid was too young to get tangled up in adult . Mateo clearly favored his
mom, and if he spilled anything to Selena, Alex would have to face Everett herself.
So she gently patted his head and
smoothly changed the subject, "Con, little man, we need to get you dressed. Otherwise, Mr.
Everett's going to have that stern
look again. You're the star of nex
tonight's show; it's your tto shine."
Mateo wasn't having it, though. He turned his head away, stubbornly silent.
But Alex was patient. With a smile, she tapped his nose and said, "Don't you want to see your mom? If you
cooperate tonight, I'll have a word with Mr. Everett and see if we can arrange a meeting." Find
And just like that, Mateo's eyes lit up.
He hadn't seen his mom in ages, and his dad wouldn't even let him call her. He missed her like crazy.
"Really?" he asked, still a bit wary.
Alex reassured him with a warm
smile, "When you grow up and take
over your dad's spot, you'll be

That convinced him, and without
