Chapter 543: 543: Open for Business, Welcome Both Humans and Ghosts
Yigol Mamet’s face was gloomy as he muttered in a low voice, “Not welcomed…”
“Since it’s open for business, it naturally doesn’t matter whether it’s a human or a ghost.” Xaviera Evans spoke first, a mocking smile on her face.
“They’re all guests, of course, we should welcome them. We can’t be picky when doing business, right, Caleb?”
Zara Woods’s smile was stiff.
Yigol Mamet reluctantly echoed, “Sister-in-law is right. I’m in business, after all. I don’t care who the other party is, as long as they pay. So, welcome, everyone.”
Zara didn’t pay any attention to Yigol Mamet and walked directly to Xaviera’s side.
“Xaviera, can you give me this horse?”
Yigol Mamet suddenly became angry, “Zara, although my horse farm isn’t big, there are thousands of horses for you to choose from. Why do you have to have Xaviera’s horse? Have you forgotten what you did at the design contest? And you still dare to come in front of Xaviera and annoy her, don’t you feel bothered?”
These sarcastic words made everyone’s faces change.
Zara’s eyes were full of resentment as she suppressed her anger, “The previous incident was a misunderstanding. I was deceived by Jason. And… I’ve already apologized. I just think this horse is too big and I’m afraid Xaviera will get hurt. I mean well, but I didn’t expect you to think of me this way.”
As Yigol Mamet was about to explain that the horse belonged to Xaviera, Xaviera simply nodded, speaking before him, “Miss Woods is really kind!”
Everyone looked at Xaviera, who unfastened the rein and looked indifferent, “I don’t know much about horses, I just chose one at random. Since Miss Woods said it’s not suitable for me, then forget it. I’m also afraid of getting hurt.”
Caleb Mamet gave a meaningful smile.
Zara’s face was triumphant. Xaviera was quite pragmatic!
Immediately afterward, Xaviera spoke nonchalantly, “Since Miss Woods has been insisting that this horse isn’t suitable for me, and claiming to be an expert in riding, that means Miss Woods has the ability to control this horse, right? Why don’t Miss Woods demonstrate how to handle this horse herself and let us learn something.”
Zara gently looked at Caleb, “Caleb, what do you think? I’m not trying to steal Xaviera’s things. It’s just that she…”
The man’s expression was indifferent, his thin lips lightly opened, “Whatever.”
Everyone was taken aback. It was rumored that Caleb Mamet and Zara Woods had completely fallen out, but now they watched as Zara took Xaviera’s horse, and he said nothing. Did Caleb still have feelings for Zara?
Zara’s face filled with gratitude, “Caleb, thank you.”
She spoke gently, “Xaviera, I’ll take this horse then. If I can tame it, I’ll bring it back and let you try it out.”
Xaviera smiled, “Sure! I’ll be looking forward to your good news! I think with your skills, you shouldn’t fail! After all, you are an expert in riding!”
Xaviera then tossed the rein to Zara.
Zara didn’t find anything strange; instead, Xaviera’s quick agreement gave her a strong sense of confidence.
Everyone was also waiting for Zara to demonstrate her superb riding skills, ready to deride Mrs. Mamet’s arrogance and teach her a lesson.
Zara smiled triumphantly. In fact, she couldn’t tell the nature of the horse at all. She just saw that Xaviera was not wearing riding gear and obviously didn’t know how to ride. The horse was well-behaved by Xaviera’s side, seeming like a gentle horse with no difficulty.
She didn’t care whether she could control the horse or not; as long as she could snatch it from Xaviera, she would feel happy.
As long as she rode the horse around once, she could imply that Xaviera was incompetent, not only losing her own face but also embarrassing Caleb.
Zara’s lips curved up in a smug smile as she nodded, “In that case, let me give it a try.”
As soon as her words fell, Zara grabbed the rein, posed to mount in a standard manner, but in the next second–
The originally gentle horse suddenly raised its head, neighed loudly, and directly threw Zara away.
Zara was startled, holding the rein steady, stepping on the stirrup with her heart pounding.
Roar–
The horse let out a long neigh, acting aggressively, which scared Zara pale.
