Upon hearing these words, Charlesâ expression fell.
The crowd was stunned. Christopher Iverson spoke so arrogantly, and
his attitude was provocative.
They started whispering to each other.
âThese two Iverson brothers donât seem to get along well, huh?â
âDonât get along well? They look like enemies!â
âDid Mr. Christopher say the horse belongs to him? Does it mean Mr.
Charles touched his stuff without telling him?â
âIsnât this inappropriate?â
The murmurs reached Charlesâ ears, and he could not bear it
anymore. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, âChristopher, itâs just a
horse. Do you need to say such words in front of so many people?â
âYes.â
Christopherâs delicate brows furrowed as he said aggressivel
were an ordinary horse, I would be generous enough to let you h
But this is a gift I intended for Bella. She hasnât even seen it, yet youâve already touched it. Do you think
itâs appropriate?â
Bellaâs excited gaze still lingered on the Akhal-Teke. When she hea Christopherâs words, her eyes
widened!
âCharles, how did you become more disgraceful over the years?â
Christopher did not conceal his mockery, not even with his brother. â Didnât Dad tell you that touching
someone elseâs belongings without permission is rude?â
Charles felt as if Christopherâs words were a slap in the face. His composure cracked.
He did not care about the guests he invited. However, the humiliation. multiplied a hundredfold with
Bellaâs presence. Anger surged in his
veins.
âSince you wanted to give this horse to Ms. Bella, why did you tie it up
here? If you tie it here, Iâll assume itâs a horse from our familyâs
racecourse. I am an Iverson. Canât I take it out for a walk?â
Christopher pushed his glasses. His lips curled into a sneer. âIf youâre tied up here, does it mean I could
take you out for a walk too?â
âYou!â
Someone in the crowd could not suppress their laughter. Charlesâ face flushed with anger, and he took
a step forward, clenching fists.
If his secretary had not stopped him, Charles would have rushed and grabbed Christopherâs collar!
âChris, itâs not a big deal. Donât ruin the mood.â
Bella lightly touched Christopherâs arm and said, âLet us not disturb Mr. Charles and his guests. We
can walk around somewhere else.â
âOkay.â
Christopher went forward to take the horseâs leash and left with Bella
under everyoneâs watchful gaze.
At this moment, he was like Prince Charming, strolling under the
starry sky with his beloved princess.
Charles gritted his teeth in hatred. He hated how Christopher humiliated him in public. Even more so,
he hated how Christopher brought Bella around the racecourse as if they were on a date, treating him
like he was invisible!
In the lounge, Charles angrily downed a glass of whiskey, then smashed the glass on the floor.
âBastard⦠Heâs just a stupid mutt. Why is he acting all arrogant?â
âMr. Charles, heâs not arrogant because he has an Akhal-Teke. Heâs arrogant because he has a reason
to humiliate you in front of the guests,â Charlesâ secretary huffed.
