The Taylors were also enraged. They were about to lash out when someone else reacted even more

strongly than they did.

Jasper's muscular shoulders were tense. Blood rushed to his eyes, and he curled his fingers inward

into fists so tightly that his veins were popping.

He was about to rush forward to give Preston a lesson when a warm hand clasped around his fist.

"Jasper, don't."

Jasper held his breath. He looked into Alyssa's eyes, which were as bright as the stars. He felt as if he

was being immersed in clear mountain springs and found himself calming down gradually.

Alyssa stepped forward and sniggered, "Mr. Preston, there is nothing for you to worry about since

Jasper is the one handling it. He will definitely not let any guilty persons off the hook and will not

accuse anyone who is innocent."

With what she just said, it was evident that she was still claiming that Harper Group was in the wrong!

"As for Mr. Horatio, he claimed that Jasper was framing your family as per my instruction. That's funny.

There are CCTV cameras everywhere.

"If I truly wanted to frame you, wouldn't there be some trace of it somewhere? Wouldn't there have

been some clues pointing toward you? Would we just grasp at anyone from your side for no reason

and claim that they are the murderer?

"You say that I have a grudge against Ms. Zoe. If so, why wasn't it the Harper's horse that was hurt?

Why didn't anything happen to Ms. Zoe?

"Did you think I would put myself in a situation where I'm also at a loss, even when victory isn't

guaranteed for me?"

Alyssa sounded very convincing.

When the people around them heard her arguments, they found themselves nodding in agreement.

Even Penelope thought that Alyssa's points made sense.

"You ... How rude ..." Cornelius stuttered. His eyebrows were quivering in his anger.

Alyssa's gaze was cool and sharp. She raised the corner of her lip and scoffed, "Truth be told, if I really

wanted to hurt Ms. Zoe, I wouldn't have to wait till today to do so. The thing about me is that I can be

ruthless.

"It wouldn't be enough just to frame her. She would have met the same end as my horse if it were up to

me!"

Everyone was astounded! She was indeed cold-hearted!

"Alyssa! You ... You're too heartless! How could you have such an evil thought?" Penelope's health

wasn't great in the first place. As her rage rose from within her, she clenched at her chest, feeling short

of breath.

"Deep breaths, Mom. You have to watch your health ..." Zoe quickly reached out to help support

Penelope. She had a resentful look on her face and spite in her eyes as she glared at Alyssa.

"Evil? Do you think that it was right for you to say so, Penelope?"

Lyla's expression was serious. Her voice, which normally sounded warm, had turned frigid.

She said in a relaxed yet resolute voice, "Lyse was just making hypothetical statements. Your daughter,

on the other hand, was bold enough to act on it.

"Before the horse race started, Ms. Zoe shot herself in the foot and still attempted to slander Lyse. The

incident is still trending as one of the top searches. Even if you have forgotten about it, we remember it.

"You should very well know who the evil one is and who is the one doing the provoking."

Penelope and Zoe's faces flushed red, then turned pale. They couldn't think of a comeback.

Winston observed Lyla's stern expression from the side. A look of surprise came across his face, and

he twitched his eyebrow.

Lyla had been with him for over 20 years. She was always gentle, introverted, and timid. This was the

very first time that he had seen the fierce and powerful side of her.

Yes, this was the right thing to do.

She should let people know that the people from the Taylor family shouldn't be messed with.

"Wow! Ms. Alyssa, you're such an eristic person. You've just got so many rebuttals against me, don't

you? I'm really impressed by the Taylor family's upbringing!"

Preston acted as Cornelius' spokesperson. He had to seize all the opportunities to fight back and make

every effort to portray himself as a loyal follower.

"But, no matter how good you are at arguing, you can't bend the truth! You have smeared our family's

innocent reputation and ruined our reputation. We will not just forget about it!"

"Ms. Alyssa, you've already won first place in the horse racing competition. What more do you want?"

Cornelius couldn't hold back any longer. His face was glum.

In a sarcastic tone, he asked, "Must you drag the Harper Group down to make yourselves appear to be

of a higher status? Will it only give you peace of mind when no one else gets in the way of your

collaboration with Mr. Ezzo? Is that what you're aiming for?"

Alyssa maintained a calm look on her face. It was Ezzo who looked as if he was feeling conflicted.

It was obvious that he was persuaded by what the Harpers said.

All of a sudden, almost simultaneously, everyone's cell phones pinged.
