To Jasper’s surprise, Alyssa frowned and decisively stepped on his toes with her heels, sending pain


    across his body. It was one thing to have his expensive tailored shoes ruined; it was another to suffer


    from a crushing pain.


    “Behave yourself, Mr. Beckett,” Alyssa chirped and flicked her hair.


    Strands of her hair brushed against his cheek, tempting him. She warned, “If you don’t, I’ll see to it that


    your toes are crushed by horse hooves.”


    Lowering his gaze, he croaked, “When we get home, can we-”


    “We’ll talk about thatter,” she cut him off.


    Despite her stubbornness, she was overwhelmed by embarrassment. Hershes flickered.


    Meanwhile, Jasper felt sorry for himself. It seemed that Alyssa had the final say when it came to


    intimacy.


    “I believe everyone here has a rich experience in maintaining racecourses and horse breeding. It’s a


    close fight.” Ezzo seemed excited. An idea crossed his mind. This was a great chance to test them out.


    “Why don’t we start a littlepetition at this event?”


    “Apetition?” The guests around were astonished at the suggestion.


    “I heard that all of you have brought your horses to the race. You might not have handpicked the horse,


    but you must have raised and trained the horse by yourself. Let’s have a horse race of our own. My


    company will partner with the winner to develop the racecourse hotel project.”


    Everyone gasped at the notion, which seemed quite rash. However, Ezzo had his own reason for doing


    so.

    Firstly, the four distinguished families were simrly powerful and giants in their respective industries.


    Choosing a partner via apetition was the best way to pacify those who lost out. Secondly, Ezzo


    was rather unenthusiastic about the idea of another business venture with the Becketts, mostly


    because he was dissatisfied with Jasper.


    However, he could not make his feelings known due to the Becketts’ standing in Sna City.


    Therefore, he would use thepetition as a front to introduce three strongpetitors into the game.


    When Alyssa learned about the n, she furrowed her brows. She was very enticed by the racecourse


    hotel project.


    As always, she was very ambitious and wouldn’t miss any opportunities to make money. Reading her


    mind, Jasper asked gently, “Lyse, didn’t you mention that ze was mediocre? I noticed that my dad’s


    horses and those owned by the Harpers are expensive thoroughbreds. They clearly want to show off at


    the event.


    “How confident are you? If… If you don’t think you can win, I’ll get Xavier to swap ze for another


    horse right now. How does that sound?”


    As Alyssa’s man, he did not want her to lose out on the excellent opportunity.


    “It’s toote for any swapping. Besides, Winston is an arrogant man. Swapping out his horse is like an


    insult to him. You’re basically telling him that you look down on him.”


    After some thinking, she replied, “Leave it as it is. The quality of the horse matters, but one should also


    take into ount the equestrian’s talent. Only a good racer could maximize the potential of a top-notch
