While Ezzo was hesitating, Jasper interjected in a deep and fierce voice, "Mr. Cornelius and Preston,
are you both considering taking the opportunity to escape?
"The Harper Group is infamous out there. As it turns out, it seems like you are all just cowards who
aren't willing to take responsibility."
"Cowards? Who are you referring to, Jasper? Explain yourself!" Preston shouted. His face turned red
with fury.
Everyone was shocked. They were gobsmacked!
It was one thing for Winston to tell Sophia off. For one, she did indeed deserve the scolding.
Additionally, he was pretty much on the same level as Javier, although some would say he was a big
shot with a net worth higher than the Beckett Group.
He was getting anxious. He even rebuked Javier. Who would dare to stop him?
But, as someone younger, Jasper didn't have the guts to do so. If he did, how would he continue being
friendly with the Harpers? Wouldn't he be afraid that the Harpers would start plotting against him?
Alyssa looked up and studied Jasper. Her heart rate increased, and it beat faster and faster.
Deep down, she had made up her mind. Even if Jasper were to offend the entire Solana City, she

With her support, who else would be so dense to lay a finger on her man?
Cornelius' eyes turned dark from his anger. He used his walking stick to hit the floor hard.
"Mr. Javier! Aren't you going to pull in the reins on your son? Are you just going to allow him to spew
nonsense and be disrespectful to his elders?"
With his entire being, Jasper gave off an air of mercilessness and intimidation. He turned his thin lips
into a smirk. "You are only an elder of mine if you act like one.
"If you don't know how to distinguish between right and wrong and even try to defend a murderer, don't
blame me for not acknowledging you."
Javier glared at Jasper. "Shut up, Jasper!"
Jasper completely disregarded him. He turned his dark and terrifying gaze toward Zoe and continued,
"Today, there are only two options for you—you can either sort things out by yourself, or I can get rid of
this person on your behalf, according to my own means."
Zoe was scared out of her mind. Her expensive dress was almost soaked in her cold sweat!
Why was he looking at her? Was he suspicious of her?
No ... She didn't act on this matter personally at all. She hadn't even been to the stables. It was all
Max's work and had nothing to do with her!
"Alright then ... Alright! I will investigate it with you if that's what you want!"
Cornelius clenched his teeth. He said in an icy and threatening tone, "However, it'd better be as you
said! If I find out that it wasn't one of the Harpers who was behind it, don't be surprised if we break ties
with you!"
Jasper scoffed coldly.
In actual fact, he didn't care about the Harper Group. So, why would he care about what Cornelius just
said?
That said, Alyssa was still concerned for him. She hadn't participated in any of the planning after all.
Thus, she wasn't sure if he had any evidence.
As the person in charge of the arena, Josh commanded one of his staff to pull up the CCTV footage of
the stables as soon as possible.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot long after, they retrieved all the relevant footage.
Unfortunately, the whole stable was thousands of square feet big. Even though the resolution of the
surveillance cameras was clear enough, the corner where Blaze was was rather awkward.
Coincidentally, the corner in Section D was one of the blind spots.
They could even see a dark shadow cast on the haystack. Yet, the horse's large body obstructed the
camera's view, and they couldn't see the person's face at all! They were at a dead end.
Max breathed a sigh of relief quietly. As for Zoe, she let out a smug smile for the close call while hiding
behind him.
Preston harrumphed and burst out into laughter. In a sarcastic tone, he mocked, "So, it seems like you
didn't have any evidence at hand after all. What were you barking so loudly for then?
"You have no witness and no surveillance footage. How dare you point your fingers at us, saying that it
was one of us Harpers who did it?
"Even if you were to fly into a rage, you should first assess if the other party is someone you can afford
to infuriate, Jasper!"
