Chapter 274
Emily, furlous, made a threatening promise. “Just you wait, I’ll make her pay today”
Jensen’s brow furrowed as he grabbed her arm. “What have you done?”
Before Emily could answer, Gilda’s scream came from the stables.
Gilda, attempting to feed Whitey, was shocked when the horse, seemingly startled, charged straight at her.
The sight terrified Gilda, who, in the moment, forgot how to react. Just as the horse was about to pounce, Jackson swiftly covered her, tumbling her to the ground and protectively holding her light. “Be careful-”
Whitey, now seemingly enraged, struggled violently against the rope, attempting to break free from the stable.
Gilda sensed something was off.
Having been around horses for years, she immediately noticed the horse’s unusual behavior. “Jackson, something’s wrong with this horse!”
Jackson realized it too. “Whitey is usually gentle. It has never acted like this.”
Just as he spoke, Jensen rushed in, his tone laced with concern. “Gilda, are you alright?”
Upon seeing Emily follow closely behind, Whitey, with a powerful surge, rammed into a nearby pillar, Jackson quickly shielded Gilda, “Careful-”
In the next second, Whitey broke free from the rope, charging straight at Emily.
Terrified, Emily turned to flee.
“Don’t. Don’t come here-”
But Whitey, as if enraged, lunged at Emily, causing her to stumble and fall, and then trampled towards her back.
What followed was a scream echoing through the air.
Emily’s face twisted in agony as Whitey didn’t stop, circling back to stomp on her body again.
The staff, witnessing this, rushed forward. Jackson, with a stern look, called out to Whitey, “Whitey!”
But Whitey was beyond reason, continuing to charge in anger.
Fortunately, the staff arrived in time to pull Emily from under the horse.
By then, Emily was so frightened that she had fainted.
