Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128

Jonah took care of the tasks Alyssa assigned and returned with a stern face.

Before Winston and Lyla could speak, Zeke rushed up, asking with concern, “Mr. Jonah, how is Ms.

Alyssa? Is she seriously injured?”

“Thanks for your concern, Mr. Zeke. My sister is fine for now. Apart from a few superficial injuries, the injury to her waist is a bit severe, but Mr. Beckett has already treated her. Right now, he’s accompanying her to rest in the infirmary,” Jonah replied with a smile, but his expression didn’t appear relaxed.

When Zeke heard that Jasper was with Alyssa, his expression darkened.

“Phew… Thank God, and may God bless her.” Ezzo showed his kindness, making the sign of the cross over his chest.

Meanwhile, Winston’s pale complexion eased a bit. With Lyla’s support, he slowly sat down. However, he remained anxious and abruptly stood up again, preparing to go see his daughter.

Suddenly, Preston frowned and spoke, “Oh, how’s the horse?”

Silence fell among the group.

“Mr. Preston, I just inquired. Blaze is not doing well. It seems like the Taylors’ horse trainer neglected to check the horse properly. The leg injury went unnoticed.

“The horse barely made it through the race and collapsed at the finish. line. Oh, the poor horse!”

Preston’s assistant secretary chimed in. The two of them echoed each other, clearly having arranged it beforehand.

“How’s Blaze’s leg?” Zoe asked with feigned concern.

“Its leg is completely fractured. It might have to be euthanized!”

“Oh, my God! Euthanized! How terrible! How pitiful!” Zoe covered her mouth, her eyes shimmering with tears, as if genuinely heartbroken and on the verge of crying.

But she was smiling sinisterly under her palm.

“E-Euthanized? Blaze doesn’t have a terminal illness. Why should it be euthanized?” Lyla couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Madam Lyla, you may not know.” Preston suddenly acted as though he knew everything. “A horse’s knee joint is connected internally. The injured area quickly gets infected. The best solution is amputation, but even if that’s done, it won’t live much longer.

“Sigh. Blaze is a racehorse. If it becomes disabled, it can’t gallop on the racetrack anymore. For it, it’s better to be euthanized for a quick and humane end.”

“Humane? It could live, but you want to make it die. Is that what you call humane?” Landon gave a cold glance at the scheming Preston,, wishing to give him a lethal injection.

No, this scumbag didn’t deserve a painless death. He should drink deadly poison and have his intestines rot.

Zoe played her part perfectly, shedding tears as if genuinely distressed. “Alyssa understands horsemanship, so she must know about horses. If there was a problem with the horse’s leg, she should have noticed when she mounted, shouldn’t she?”

“If that’s the case, Ms. Alyssa is too ruthless and cruel!” Betty also seized the opportunity to criticize Alyssa.

“Is it worth sacrificing an innocent life just to win a project, just to secure the first place? This behavior truly disgusts me! Mr. Ezzo, Mr. Zeke, both of you are horse lovers, Can you accept this outcome?”

“Yes, Mr. Ezzo. I hope you can reconsider your decision,” Preston chimed in, playing his role.

Zeke looked at Ezzo. Ezzo frowned deeply, and his expression was complicated.

Javier, Cornelius, and the others, who had lost hope, now became anxious, awaiting Ezzo’s decision.

After a while, Ezzo’s gaze darkened. “I think this collaboration-”

“Preston, for someone who rarely rides horses, you surprisingly seem to know a lot about them. Google is a wonderful tool. It allows you to quickly search and learn.”

As the words fell, everyone turned back in astonishment.

They saw Alyssa walking side by side with Jasper, wearing a smile that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
