Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221

The KS Group? The Taylors?

After a brief shocked silence, the applause thundered across the hall as the spotlight shifted onto Winston, who looked surprised before. putting on a relieved smile.

He gracefully went up the stage to shake hands with Ezzo. “It’s our honor to work with you.”

Since Ezzo chose the Taylors as his business partner, his demeanor underwent a significant shift, and he began heaping praises upon Winston. “You demonstrated your outstanding capability at the horseracing event. Besides, I promised to select the horseracing winner as my business partner. I’m keeping my word.”

No one except for the Jesseltons knew about the international call an hour ago between them and Justin Beckett, who resided in Mosgravia.

“Ezzo, Zeke, as a good friend of yours, I hope you’ll take my advice and pick KS Group as your business partner,” Justin suggested.

At that time, Zeke was still reeling from Alyssa’s rejection. Ezzo frowned and asked, “Why? Wouldn’t you and your dad benefit from a partnership with us?”

Hearing that, Justin chuckled knowingly. “You and I will both benefit from a partnership with KS Group.

If you really need to know, all I’d say is I admire Ms. Alyssa’s character, and I’d hate to see her hard work go down the drain.”

Alyssa, despite her silence, looked excited and glad for Winston. All of a sudden, she felt a warm grip on her hand.

Jasper took her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers. ”

Congratulations, Lyse and Mr. Taylor. I knew you’d succeed.” His fingers gently caressed hers.

Alyssa felt a jolt of electricity through her body. Her heart raced, and a blush crept up her ears as they held hands.

While Winston was immersed in the joy of triumph, Javier and Cornelius seemed cross and disappointed, particularly Cornelius, who felt as though he’d been fooled. He coughed in frustration, and Zoe hurriedly patted him on the back.

The Schmidts, close with the Taylors, would surely benefit from the announcement. As the Jesseltons’

partner on a previous project, the Becketts had formed a camaraderie with the Jesseltons. Only the Harpers were at a disadvantage. Cornelius felt as if he was nothing but a joke.

However, Javier felt similarly humiliated and framed when he witnessed the Taylors in their glory. Taking a deep breath, he put on an unbothered smile and marched up to Wiston and Ezzo. “Winston Ezzo, congratulations.”

“Same to you, Javier,” Winston remarked with a light smile.

“Winston, you’re spot on,” Javier replied with an amused raise of his brow. “I do plan to take this opportunity to announce some good news.”
