Connor's voice was cold and indifferent. "I warned you before, if you pull any more stunts or hurt anyone, I won't let you off the hook."
Kalilah raised her voice, "I didn't do anything!"
Connor's tone was calm but firm, "Then why did those two horses go wild today?"
Kalilah froze for a moment, as if realizing something. "What does that have to do with me?"
Just then, the riding instructor walked in. He approached Claire with respect and said, "Ma’am, we reviewed the surveillance footage. Juliet and Shakespeare went mad because Miss Kalilah gave them banned substances."
These horses were racehorses and needed daily training. Next to the stables was a specialized hospital stocked with various medications for treating any injuries. The instructor had even given tours of the facility before.
Kalilah's eyes widened in disbelief, "You're framing me! I didn't do it!"
Claire seemed uninterested in her defense. She waved her hand dismissively. "People like her should be sent back and handed over to the police. We live in a society governed by law, where evil deeds must be paid for. Before the law, everyone is equal; we must always abide by the rules and not harbor ill will towards others."
Kalilah was dragged away, screaming that she was being set up. Connor listened to Claire's righteous speech and suddenly laughed. The person who most disregarded the law and treated lives as expendable was now lecturing about legal equality.
At that moment, Diana's fork clattered to the floor. She quickly bent down to pick it up. Connor glanced at her again. Diana's fingers were trembling slightly as she retrieved the fork. Connor's eyes flashed with sternness.
