Davidâs face turned from red to green as he listened to Jamesonâs taunting words. The crowd began to murmur and gossip. âAre the two sons of the Schmidt family not getting along?â
Someone remarked, âIs this just a lack of harmony or a full blown feud?â
Another quest chimed in, âDid Jameson just claim that the horse is his? Did David use Jamesonâs horse without permission? Isnât that a bit inappropriate?â
The murmurs reached Davidâs ears, and he couldnât bear it any longer. He clenched his teeth and said coldly. âJimmy, itâs just a horse. Is it necessary to say such things in front of so many people?â
Jameson replied, âYes, it is.â His refined features were icy, and his voice was cutting. âIf it were just an ordinary horse, I wouldnât argue with you.â
He continued, âBut the horse you touched is a gift I intended to give to Ms. Taylor. She has seen it yet, and you laid your hands on it. Do you think thatâs appropriate?â
Alyssaâs excited gaze was still fixed on the splendid horse. However, she was suddenly stunned by Jamesonâs words. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
âDavid, how come your manners seem to have deteriorated over the years?â Jameson openly mocked David. âWhen we were kids, didnât Dad tell you that touching someone elseâs things without permission is impolite?
David felt as if he had been slapped in the face. The humiliation was multiplied a hundredfold with Alyssa present. It coursed through his veins, driving him insane.
âSince itâs a horse you intended to give to Ms. Taylor, why did you tie it here? If you leave it tied here, Iâll assume itâs a horse from the Schmidt familyâs stable. Iâm a Schmidt family scion, and I canât even lead a horse?â
Jameson adjusted his glasses and flashed a sardonic grin. âDoes that mean I can lead you with me if youâre tied up here?â
Davidâs face flushed with anger. âYou!â
Laughter broke out among the crowd, and Davidâs face turned red with anger. He took a half step forward and clenched his fists.
If it werenât for his secretary holding him back, he might have charged at Jameson.
âJimmy, itâs just a minor issue. Letâs not spoil the atmosphere over this,â Alyssa said.
Alyssa gently touched Jameson a couple of times and go somewh Letâs not disturb Davidâs meng Shall Jameson replied softly, âSureâ He approached the splendid horse and led it away with Alyssa under everyoneâs gazes. At that moment, he appeared as a prince, walking under the starry moonlight with his beloved princess David seethed with hatred. He despised Jameson for humiliating him in public. He even took Alyssa away as if he were nothing. In the lounge. Davidâs chest swelled with anger He downed a glass of whisky before hurling the glass to smithereens âThat bastard. Itâs just a stupid horse. What makes him so arrogant? David fumed âMr. David, itâs not just about the horse itâs about how he has humiliated you in front of others his secretary snapped
