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 fiance, 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 fiance? 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?"
Landon still looked euphoric and optimistic. He continued, "There are only the two of us here. Mr.
Taylor is certainly not looking at me. He is definitely looking at you!"
Jasper was shaking like a leaf. He tried to maintain control over his breathing.
He looked deeply at Alyssa with his piercing eyes.
"Us Taylors have always had a low profile, including my daughter. She is not the type to seek attention
by exposing her personal life to the public.
"Tonight is the business dinner party that you, Mr. Ezzo, have carefully prepared. My family's matter
shouldn't overshadow your event.
"Plus, Lyse and I feel that now is not the right time to announce any marriage news. Naturally, we will
inform the public when the time is right."
Winston looked away from Jasper coldly. "When that time comes, I will send you an invitation
personally. If you don't mind, Mr. Ezzo, I will invite you to Belbanks to attend the reception. How about
that?"
Ezzo laughed. He replied politely, "That's just nice. I have never been to Belbanks. I heard it is
beautiful, with blue seas and white, sandy beaches. Do ensure that you inform me when that time
comes!"
Alyssa's heart was unsettled. She only breathed a quiet sigh of relief when she saw that Winston had
carried the conversation topic over.
She wasn't sure if it was due to the medications that Winston had been taking recently. Sometimes, he
could be inhumane. At other times, he could be quite sensible. It was almost as if he was bipolar.

"So, who is Alyssa's fiance? 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
fiance?"
"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 fiance, 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 fiance 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.
