Still, Javier confidently addressed Ezzo, "Mr. Ezzo, the Beckett Group owns our racecourses in Solana City and other cities. We're considered the most experienced in developing racecourses."Hearing that, Cornelius scoffed under his breath. "Pfft. That's very cocky of him."Victor could no longer hold back and opined, "Mr. Javier, the Beckett Group indeed owns racecourses, but it's an overstatement to claim that you're the most experienced in building one. We're the host of the horseracing event this year. You do know that this is the largest racecourse in Solana City, don't you?"Javier calmly argued, "That's because it's built new. Back in the day, the Beckett Group was unrivaled."Equally irked, Victor countered with an example of Winston's, "The KS Group built its racecourse 30 years ago. Not only was it the largest in the country, but it is also the only racecourse in Belbanks until today. Quite a stretch to say that you're the most experienced in racecourse building when Wins

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 that later," she cut him off.Despite her stubbornness, she was overwhelmed by embarrassment. Her lashes 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 little competition at

All eyes were on Winston. He asked sternly, "What's wrong?""Our equestrian was injured by another horse when he was on a stroll with Blaze."The Taylors exchanged shocked glances. Eyes widening, Winston gasped with concern, "What? How's he doing? He's safe, right?"Winston might be a ruthless businessman, but he was exceptionally generous to his residence staff. More than the competition, he was worried about the condition of the equestrian.Neil wiped away his sweat. "He suffered from multiple injuries and a broken elbow, but he's overall fine. I've arranged for him to be sent to the hospital. Anyway, he can't participate in the race anymore."Winston let out a long sigh. "Gosh. Oh, well, I'm glad he's fine."Lyla softly reminded them, "Whose horse was responsible for that? The owner must be held accountable.""Don't worry, Madam Lyla. The Taylors will not be taken advantage of. I've taken care of the matter. The owner will assume full responsibility."Putting aside the matte

Alyssa's decision blew Zoe's mind. Betty guffawed and teased her, "Wow, you're great at making predictions, aren't you?""Hmph! Let her be. She'll only overexert herself and fall on all fours!" Zoe's teeth clattered from rage as she stared hatefully at Alyssa's confident expression.Winston was doubtful and concerned. "Lyse, can you do it?""Dad, you know me best." She winked playfully at her father.Winston, Lyla, and Jonah exchanged gazes. Alyssa might be adept at horse riding, but horse racing was an entirely different matter."Ms. Alyssa, horse racing is not a child's play. Moreover, this race concerns an important business opportunity and your family's reputation. It's fine to stay out of the race. Better than falling off the horse in the race, don't you think? Mr. Taylor would be heartbroken if that happened," Cornelius remarked.He was subtly warning her about losing face in the race, which was worse than losing the race itself. Everyone present assumed that she would lose

Even as Zoe's grandfather, Cornelius admitted that Alyssa was a fine young lady with wits and guts. If only Landon had considered dating Alyssa, Cornelius would have considered giving his blessing."Dad, Lyla, Jonah, time's running out. I'll go change." With that, Alyssa coolly waved at her family and left the seat with Neil."Lyse, be careful!" Lyla called out to her worriedly. Alyssa turned around and briefly gestured "okay" at her."Fine. Since she can't sit still even for a minute, she can join the race," Winston grumbled.He was worried for Alyssa but refused to openly display his emotions. At the same time, Jasper's passionate gaze followed Alyssa until she vanished from sight."Surprised, aren't you? You probably didn't know Lyse is good at horse riding." Jameson approached him with a smile, causing him to frown.The two good-looking men stood side-by-side like something out of a painting. One wouldn't have known that they were archenemies."Lyse is God's gift to me," J

Betty silently scoffed at Zoe, thinking, "Tsk! Seriously? You're the biggest bitch here."After a long silence, Betty sighed and fueled the fire, "Even if you marry Jasper, you're in for a rough ride. He's infatuated with that bitch, and he might cheat on you."Jasper cheating? Zoe rubbed out the cigarette as she imagined all sorts of humiliating scenes in her mind and upset herself. She vowed, "I must get rid of Alyssa once and for all!""That's easier said than done. The tricks you have up your sleeve are not enough to take down Alyssa. Don't you know how powerful the Taylors are? Do you really think you have what it takes to deal with her? You would have defeated her long ago if you could," Betty said as she rubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray. She added, "I prodded around. They say Alyssa's pretty good in horse riding. She was the champion of some regional junior championships. She was even interviewed by foreign media, unbeknownst to everyone. I guess that bitch is going

When it was time for the race, the equestrians elegantly entered the course with their healthy horses amid the anticipation and cheering of the crowds.They stood tall and proud like warriors, showered with flowers and applause. The emcee passionately introduced each equestrian and the horse.Everyone was focused on the race, but some of the VIP guests held their breath for Alyssa's appearance."And our next equestrian is—" The emcee halted in shock when he stared at the list of names.A hush fell over the audience as well.The emcee continued, "She's the daughter of KS Group's chairman, Alyssa Taylor!"The audience gasped at the sudden change in events. Was Alyssa going to join the race? They wondered if her horse riding skills were up to par. Alyssa was the renowned designer Alexa, an excellent hotelier, the fashion designer Sharon, and the miraculous Dr. White. And now, she could add the title of an equestrian to her list of accomplishments. What more surprises did she have

Betty texted, "Mom, Dad sent someone to look for you. Be careful."…Landon saw Alyssa appear. She was the only woman among a group of male equestrians, like a flower surrounded by green leaves.He couldn't help but act as the cheerleader, shouting, "Oh my goodness! Lyse looks so cool! Good luck! Oh!"Standing nearby, Lauren didn't show any displeasure. Instead, she clenched her fists and looked straight with eyes full of anticipation.The Harpers were all speechless.But what could they do with this troublemaker? They could only pretend not to know him."What are you oh-ing about? Are you a monkey?"Jasper gave a cold glance and sarcastically retorted, "Be quiet. Do you think you are the only one with a mouth?""Oh, please. I'm just expressing myself. If Lauren were on the field, I'd jump down from here, stand by the racetrack, and run with her. I'd wave a flag and cheer for her, disregarding my reputation."Jasper sneered. "Do you think you have any reputation to disregard

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
