As Jameson spoke, he reached out for Alyssaâs hand. He then recalled her uneasiness, and his hand stopped mid-air. He curled his fingers.
Alyssaâs heart skipped a beat when she saw him reaching out At that moment, Jamesonâs secretary, Carl, ran over, panting. He exclaimed, âM-Mr. Schmidt, I have bad news.
Jameson knitted his brows. âWhatâs wrong?â
âMr. David has led the horse for Ms. Alyssa to the racecourse!
Upon learning that, Jameson adjusted his glasses with a burning rage in his eyes.
David sent a horse trainer to present the guests with a magnificent champagne-colored Golden Ausman horse.
âMr. David, this horse is truly rare! Iâve heard of Golden Ausman horse before, but seeing it in person is a first!â
âThis horse probably costs a good ten million.â
David gleefully replied, âTen million dollars? Youâre underestimating its value.â He gently caressed the horseâs smooth skin. âThese pure-bred horses from Bahari are rare. They fetch at least 15 million.â
The guests gasped at the value of the horse and started taking photos. While they could afford 15 million dollars, they preferred to spend it on luxury cars, mansions, and yachts.
Racehorses required substantial long-term care, a luxury only extinguished families like the Becketts, the Schmidts, and the Taylors could afford.
âCome, help me out! I want to test out the horse!â David rubbed his hands and grabbed the saddle, ready to ride the horse.
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted, making everyone jump. âWho gave you permission to touch my horse?â
âGoodness!â Daviú clumsily fell off the horse but was caught by the trainer on time.
The guests expresund concern but secretly laughed at him, âOh no! Mr. David, be careful!â
David shoved the trainer away and turned around with a malicious expression Jameson and Alyssa âWhoâs that pretty woman? She looks familiar.â
âSheâs Alyssa Taylor, the daughter of the Belbanks tycoon Winston Taylor!
âAnd w what about the man by her side? They look good together!â
âI just remembered. Heâs Jameson Schmidt, who recently returned from abroad. I didnât know he was close to Ms. Alyssa. I bet heâs pretty accomplished as well.â
David was fuming after Jameson took the spotlight at his carefully planned event, but Alyssa was oblivious to his emotions. She gaped, captivated by the horse. âWow, itâs beautiful Jameson smiled at the sight of Alyssaâs bright eyes and rosy cheeks.
âJimmy, what brings you here?â David questioned with a fake smile while dusting his outfit.
âDavid, is my horse that good? Does it make you happy to show off the possession of other: Jameson tilted his head and taunted his brother. z Jameson continued, âIf you want that horse, you can always borrow it from me. Taking it without my permission? What are you thinking?â
âYou-âDavid seethed with anger and shame.
âBut even if you ask to borrow my horse, I wonât lend it to you,â Jameson added.
