Chapter 444

Ella and Jack stood facing each other in silence, but the air was thick with a syrupy sweetness that everyone in the room could feel.

Love didn’t need a grand declaration; their tender gazes and subtle gestures said it all.

Jeff furrowed his brow, glancing at his companion Emeric, whose expression also betrayed a hint of gloom:

“Alright, alright, I can’t tell you what to do. Toss your money around as you please,” Evadne said, turning away to hide her smile.

Avery was left stewing on the sidelines, a tempest of anger brewing in his chest.

Thaddeus noticed Avery’s face grow paler by the second, his features twisting into a sinister sneer, reminiscent of a devil waiting to devour his prey.

Thaddeus felt no thrill of victory. On the contrary, he feared the man might be concocting some vile scheme in the shadows. His only concern was keeping Evadne safe.

Instinctively, he moved to stand protectively behind Evadne, like a silent, imposing mountain, offering his unwavering support.

The big shots began placing their bets. Jareth didn’t go for the Abernathy Group’s horse nor the Ashbourne family’s steed. Instead, he followed Marilla’s advice and chose a radiant white horse, albeit not the most outstanding contender.

His reasoning? It looked good.

After all, girls don’t differ much when it comes to picking horses or cars. It’s not about horsepower or performance. It’s about the aesthetics!

Jareth was in high spirits, waving his hand and betting a cool two million on horse number fourteen as easily as flicking away twenty thousand jellybeans. All he cared about was making his darling wife happy.

“Mr. Morris, would you care to place a wager?” Frederic asked, standing beside William and his son with a genial smile.

“I am indeed interested, but horse racing isn’t just entertainment, it’s also an investment,” William said, scanning the expansive track through his binoculars. “I’m looking for a horse with excellent pedigree and quality. If its owner can take proper care of it and finish first, then I believe their business acumen and strength won’t be lacking.”

Frederic’s brows knitted slightly.

It seemed William was hinting at scouting for new business partners.

The Abernathy Group had already signed a contract with the J Group to build a commercial complex in the nation’s largest city next year, with everything ready to go.

William had other business plans in mind,
