Alyssa was incensed after Victor brought up David. “Mr. Schdmit, do you know what I regret the most? I


    regret saving David’s leg.”

    Hearing that, Victor looked shellstruck. He gritted his teeth as his expression sank.


    “Alyssa Taylor, that’s enough. Victor has always treated you like his daughter. How dare you speak to


    him in that manner?” Winston


    berated Alyssa.


    He was very taken aback by Alyssa’s odd behavior. Did she have tool


    much to drink?


    “Mr. Taylor, calm down,” Jasper broke his silence.


    He ced a hand on Alyssa’s waist, drawing her into aforting embrace. “Don’t mistake her as


    being unreasonable. She has her reasons for saying so, and you’ll know them soon enough.”


    All of Alyssa’s heartache and disdain melted away when she


    up into Jasper’s passionate eyes.

    “Mr. Beckett, this is between the Taylors and the Schmidts. It’s n


    of your business,” Victor snapped at Jasper with a warning look. What was that anyway? Did David


    offend you or something? Watch your tone.”


    Jasper merely studied Victor with a grin, sending a shiver down. Victor’s spine.


    At the same time, Zoe scowled upon seeing Jasper with Alyssa, envy gnawing at her soul. Where had


    they been before this? Were they having fun in a corner where no one could see them?


    She yelled in exasperation as the imagery of them being intimate


    nces from the guests around her.


    Javier furrowed his brows at Zoe’s faux pas. No one would have. thought that the dumb woman was


    Landon’s sister. To be honest, he admitted that Alyssa made a better partner for Jasper in terms of her


    talents and her family background. Compared to Alyssa, Zoe was a disaster.


    Still, he was concerned about Alyssa’s calctive and fickle behavior. Besides, she had Jasper under


    her control and attempted to cause trouble for the Becketts. Such a capable yet ruthless woman was a


    ticking time bomb for the Becketts if she married Jasper.


    “I’m delighted to see our industry friends attending the first dinner we hosted in Sna City. I express


    gratitude on behalf of my dad and the Jesselton family,” Zeke began the speech, which was met with


    apuse.


    “As you know, we’ve wrapped up our first strategic cooperation with the Beckett Group. The project has


    achieved considerable sus, and the oue was delightful. Therefore, we’ve decided to sti with a


    business partner from Sna City for our racecourse hote project.”


    Some guests turned to Javier while the rest stared at Victor. As Winston and his KS Group hailed from


    Belbanks, everyone thought it was only normal to exclude him.


    On the contrary, Cornelius appeared displeased when no one paid. attention to the Harpers. The public


    made it clear they regarded the Harpers as beneath the Becketts and the Schmidts.


    After the speech, Zeke handed the floor to his father. Standing on the stage, Ezzo calmly scanned the


    faces around him, lingering on Javier, Cornelius, and the rest.


    Finally, he looked away and announced loudly, “I hereby announce that Jesselton Inc. has decided to


    work with KS Group on the


    racecourse hotel project!”
