“A million?” Victor guessed.
“Ten million,” Jonah revealed.novelbin
Jonah, born into wealth, seemed to have an unusual definition of al small sum of money.
Victor, cheered up by Jonah’s lone support, said, “Thank you for your support, Jonah!”
“Pfft. Careful not to lose your shirt.” Winston did not hold back when he addressed his son.
Jameson asked softly, “Lyse, which horse will you bet on?”
Without looking at him, Alyssa said flatly, “I’m not betting. It’s best to stay away from gambling.”
With Alyssa remaining hostile to him, Jameson tried to shrug it off and turned to speak to Winstoninstead. “Uncle Winston, I’ll join in on the fun too. I am betting on Blaze from KS Group. Just like Mr.Jonah, I’m putting down ten million.”
Victor nodded approvingly at his youngest son’s move.
“Not bad, Jimmy. You’ve got good taste. At least, you’re better than my son,” Winston remarked with asmile.
Once again, Jameson had scored points with Winston.
“Well, this is just entertainment. What matters is we’re happy!”
Meanwhile, Alyssa and Jonah quietly studied Jameson with chilling looks in their eyes.
“Mr. Taylor, may I join?”
The guests turned around to find Jasper making his way toward Winston with a smile. Jamesoninstantly adjusted his glasses with newfound wariness.
One could tell Winston’s favorite from his unenthusiastic tone. He mused, “Oh? Mr. Beckett, are youinterested in betting?”
“Some gambling won’t do any harm. Besides, I have always loved Blaze. I have been a fan ever sinceit was at the Yoarkley Royal Equestrian Center.” Jasper flashed an enchanting smile at Winston.
Jonah lowered his face and betrayed a grin. Anyone who had a slight understanding of Jasper wouldknow how much effort he had put in just to pursue Alyssa. In the past, Jasper would never openly seek.-favor from anyone like he just did.
Now, Jasper was willing to set aside his ego to rehabilitate his image in Winston’s eyes, even if itwouldn’t be of much use.
Winston appeared shocked by Jasper’s depth of knowledge about his favorite horse, Blaze. He wasabout to speak when Alyssa went up to Jasper and playfully poked him on the chest. She grumbled,“You’re just a wealthy fool. Why would you bet on a horse just because it’s Winston’s?”
Jasper, smiling sweetly, put a hand on his chest where she had poked him. He explained, “That’s notthe only reason, though. I have been rooting for Blaze for a while.”
“That’s because you don’t know horses at all! Blaze is at Tornado’s level! Do you want to lose your shirtas well?” Putting her hands on her hips, she shook her head disappointingly and mumbled, “How didyou stay as the president with that poor common sense of yours?”
The guests, including Winston and Victor, were dumbstruck by Alyssa’s unusual expression of love.
Taken back, Jasper whispered into her ear with a twinkle in his eyes,” Lyse, are you worried for mymoney?”
Blushing, she complained, “It’s not just about losing money. It bothers me to see you losing.”
His smile deepened as he resisted the urge to hug her. “It doesn’t matter if we’re betting with family. Idon’t mind losing to your father.”
