Engaged?
Alyssa's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened. She stared right at Winston's charming side profile.
Jasper's eyes contained infinite nervousness and worry. His body was as tense as a taut bowstring. He seemed about to charge over in the next moment, pull Alyssa away, and leave with her at all costs.
Similarly, Javier and the Harper family members all had upset looks on their faces.
Zoe looked especially unhappy. Her heart pounded like a jackhammer as she glared at Alyssa with an anxious yet evil look.
She uttered in a scornful voice, "Oh? Ms. Alyssa is engaged? Who is the lucky man to have a marriage alliance with the Taylor family?"
Through gritted teeth, Javier said, "It doesn't matter who has a marriage alliance with the Taylors. All I know is that it will surely never be the Beckett Group!"
Zoe turned her lips into a wide smile. Her perturbed emotions settled down.
Zeke's face had turned glum. He felt that Winston was making a perfunctory excuse so that he could help Alyssa out of an awkward situation.
At the horse racing arena, it was apparent that Alyssa and Jasper had a strong connection.
However, he had witnessed too many similar love affairs within the upper-class society in Mosgravia. To him, they were only lovers.
If she had a fiancé, Winston would've announced it to the public during the horse race. Why would he wait till now?
Meanwhile, Ezzo looked completely undisturbed. He smiled and asked, "So, your daughter already has a fiancé? That's great news! Who is the fortunate man?"
The crowd's curiosity was piqued, too.
Winston laughed coldly. Suddenly, his deep gaze turned casually toward Jasper!
Zeke followed the line of his sight and looked over. He clenched his teeth hard when he realized who Winston was looking at!
"Oh, my! Jasper! I'm not imagining things, am I? Is Mr. Taylor looking at you?" Landon chirped. He shook Landon by the arm like an excited kid.
Jasper's breathing quickened as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He replied in a low voice, "Don't overthink it. Perhaps Mr. Taylor is using this as an excuse to reject Zeke's friendliness."
"If that were true, what is Mr. Taylor looking over here for? Wouldn't it be enough for him to just lie through his teeth?"
The crowd was not satisfied. They continued to discuss among themselves.
"So, who is Alyssa's fiancé? Previously, I noticed that Jameson Schmidt was quite close with Mr. Taylor. Moreover, Mr. Victor and Mr. Taylor are sworn brothers. I'm guessing that Jameson is her fiancé?"
"If it were him, wouldn't he be here tonight? My guess is that it is unrequited love between Jameson and Alyssa. My bet is on Mr. Beckett!"
"I think so too. Wasn't it obvious enough at the horse racing arena? When Ms. Alyssa was injured, who was the one who stayed by her side? If Jameson were her fiancé, how could he not appear? He would be completely heartless if it were so!"
Tatiana fixed her eyes on Alyssa's blushed pink face. She felt really envious. Her eyes glistened as tears formed in her eyes.
Winston's signal was obvious. Alyssa's fiancé could only be Jasper.
It was significant to receive approval from her parents to be with the one she loved.
Till now, Tatiana had never hated Alyssa or her parents.
Simon sided with the wrong side. He was helping Alyssa and Jasper's enemy get acquitted. Furthermore, the Lynch family's background wasn't of much help to them.
