He thought that it would be a long fight. Little did he expect this day to be here so soon.
“Hey, I haven’t been promoted officially. I am just serving as an interim.” Despite his words conveying a sense of embarrassment, Landon had a luminous glint in his eyes.
“You are the only grandson that Mr. Cornelius has. It is only fair that he supports you. It is also inevitable that he does so.”
Jeremy extended his arm to give him a pat on his shoulder. He advised him sincerely, “Landon, I am truly happy for you. Now that steps have been taken to get back into the legal business, you should rid yourself of any ventures in the gray area.
“At the very least, on the surface, it should appear as if you have no involvement in it. This will impact your image in the Harper Group and in the public eye in the future.
“Also, I don’t wish for Lauren to be worried for you day in and day out. You have to carry out your work properly. Do you understand me?”
Landon perceived Jeremy’s advice to be heartfelt and thoughtful. At that moment, it was as if Jeremy was no longer a mere friend to him. Instead, he was like an elder brother whose blood was thicker than water.
Landon felt his throat tighten. His eyes welled up as he said, “Damn it, you’re making me tear up.”
Actually, he had already thought of it, even if Jeremy hadn’t said anything. He would certainly grasp onto the opportunity. He definitely wanted to provide a bright future, one which would be the envy of all for Lauren.
“People from the KS Group are here!” someone shouted.
Jeremy’s entire body tensed up. It was as if a current had just passed through him. He straightened his back as straight as a die. His heart, which was calm before, began to pound.
He breathed deeply and lifted his hand to adjust his bow tie. He then fixed his soulful eyes on the entrance to the banquet hall.
By the side, Landon covered his mouth and chuckled to himself.
Those who didn’t know would have thought that this man was at his wedding, waiting for the arrival of his bride.
A moment later, Winston and Jonah stepped into the banquet hall. Behind them were two gorgeous ladies¡ªAlyssa and Tatiana.
One was like a bright and beautiful red rose that captivated people’s hearts. The other was like an elegant and adorable white rose.
The pair of sisters captured the attention of all the men there. The other women looked like they had simply gone overboard with drugstore makeup.
“Needless to say, the most stunning of them all tonight is still Ms. Alyssa.”
“Is the one next to her Mr. Taylor’s obscure, youngest daughter? The daughter he had with Madam
Lyla?”
“Should be. She looks pretty decent, too. Even when she’s standing next to Alyssa, she isn’t completely overshadowed. They are each elegant in their own way!”
“Wow, if anyone were to marry those sisters, they’d even wake up from their dream laughing.”
“It is already a pipe dream to marry one of them, but you’re thinking of marrying both? Dream on! You can dream about all the women you like and work your nuts off!”
The men’s imagination ran wild with the Taylor sisters.
Jeremy’s eyes turned dark. He curled his fingers inward as anger surged within him.
“Hey, don’t get so stirred up, Jeremy.”
Landon nudged him in the rib. He consoled him with a smile on his face. “Actually, they’re not being disrespectful. We’re all men, so I understand.
“They are just voicing out their thoughts. The harsher their words, the more it underscores Alyssa’s beauty.”
“That’s quite broad-minded of you. Would you be able to take it if it were Lauren?” Jeremy’s rage was concentrated between his eyebrows.
“Umm …” Landon was stuck.
Jeremy regulated his breathing. With a heavy heart, he started to walk over to Alyssa.
As if she was telepathic, Alyssa also turned to look at him.
Their zealous gaze met with one another. Her radiant red lips curved into a wide smile as she playfully winked at him.
Jeremy felt as if she had just lit his heart on fire. He swallowed his saliva in an attempt to refrain himself.
At that very moment, two figures had stepped ahead of him and were already at the front of the Taylor family.
They were Ezzo and Zeke.
“Mr. Taylor, we meet again.”
Ezzo initiated a handshake with Winston. He then turned his intrigued eyes toward Alyssa and remarked, “And your beautiful daughter. She left a strong impression on us the last time we saw her.”
Winston narrowed his sharp eyes slightly. He remained calm and glorious. His hands gripped Ezzo’s tightly.
He held his own in all aspects.
“I know that you were disturbed by the previous incident at the horse racing arena, Mr. Ezzo. This daughter of mine is rather mad. She is still inexperienced. I hope for your understanding over her inappropriate ways,” Winston said in a raspy voice.
He had a smile on his face as he spoke eloquently. He gave off the air of an aristocrat in every way.
The people were amazed.
They weren’t dreaming, were they?
This was a nobleman from Mosgravia and the heir to the Royal Castle. This top-tier financial leader actually took the initiative to reach out to Winston in such a friendly manner, even though the Taylor family’s riches were known to be unparalleled. However, this was only true in Belbanks.
The Walsh Group and the Schmidt Group were the top financial groups here at Solana City. How could Ezzo simply disregard them like that? Winston was so thick-skinned!
Then, Javier, Cornelius, and Victor also rushed over and stood by the side.
While they witnessed the scene in front of them, each of them had different expressions on their faces.
They were each thinking of their own agenda.
The others’ expressions were still pretty decent. It was only Javier who couldn’t quite conceal his feelings. His jawline was so tense that it was as sharp as a blade.
Everyone in Solana City knew that Jesselton Incorporated’s first business collaboration in the country was with the Walsh Group.
This was supposed to be when both corporations were working closely together. However, Ezzo’s attitude toward Javier appeared to be cold.
On the contrary, he seemed to be closer to Winston, whom he wasn’t partnering with.
This made Javier feel a little embarrassed. It was like a form of oppression.
“You’re being too humble, Mr. Taylor,” Ezzo chuckled.
He didn’t hold back and continued to sing praises about Alyssa. “Your daughter is a rare gem. Not only does she have the looks, but her horsemanship is comparable to that of a jockey’s. Among all the female riders in our country, her skills are top-notch.
“After the horse racing event that time, Zeke couldn’t stop complimenting Ms. Alyssa after we went back. He was also hoping that he could meet her again.
“They are both people who love and understand horses. I’m sure that they’ll have common conversation topics between them.”
Ezzo signaled to his son. Zeke adjusted his bow tie hurriedly before striding over.
He suddenly glanced over at Jeremy and raised the corner of his lip into a smirk, making Jeremy uneasy. Jeremy clenched his fists as the look in his eyes turned frosty. He began to burn with anger!
Landon noticed Zeke’s smirk, and it also made him harden his fists. “Shit. Jeremy, is that blondie provoking you? This is Solana City, not Mosgravia. Why is he trying to show off here? What an ass!”
“He fancies Lyse. I noticed it the first time I saw him.” A curtain of gloom came over Jeremy’s eyes. He felt green with envy.
“Ah, Alyssa is too outstanding. Which man wouldn’t fall into a daze and go over their head when they catch sight of her? If they didn’t, I would doubt their sexual orientation. Or if not, maybe they aren’t able to get it up.”
At the same time, Landon felt fortunate that his Lauren was like a shiny, white pearl from a shell. He was the only one who could enjoy her beauty.
If he had fallen for such a stunning and talented woman like Alyssa, he would have been heartbroken from worry.
“Glad to see you again, Ms. Taylor.” Zeke reached out his hand to Alyssa gentlemanly while he stared at her with a burning gaze.
Jeremy held his breath, his eyes red from fury.
Even though that was just a polite gesture, he knew that Zeke wasn’t harboring good intentions!
Right when Jeremy was about to rush forward, Landon held him back just in time.
