Chapter 29
The pain never came, but Isabella heard the jarring
neigh of a horse falling to the ground, followed by
the shrill screams from Freya and Lyra.
Isabella had forgotten to breathe, and her gaze
fixed on someone not far away.

A man with a cold expression holstered his
bird–hunting rifle and tossed it into a leather pouch
hanging from his horse’s neck. Gripping the reins
with one hand, he let the horse trot leisurely
forward.
Before him sat a bashful–looking woman, who just
happened to be the woman Isabella had picked
out–Selena.
Isabella felt her heart pounding in her chest and
the skin on her entire body radiating heat. Upon
recalling what had just happened, she felt her legs

Seth and his gang slowly approached them, and
besides Selena, there was also Dariel and the
eldest son from the Gates Family, whom Isabella
had once met before.
Everyone in that group rode horses and wore
striking equestrian outfits, making them seem very
handsome.
Simon Gates was wearing a white outfit and
exuded a gentle demeanor. He got off his horse
before reaching Isabella and jogged over. “Are you
alright?”
He extended his hand toward Isabella and nodded
toward the two frightened women beside her.

While tugging her lips, Isabella didn’t wait for him
and forcefully tried to get up. However, her legs
were indeed weak, and she stumbled as she tried
to stand.

Simon rushed over to support her. “Be careful.”
“Thank you.” Isabella took a step back, avoiding any contact with the man.
But when she raised her head, Simon raised an
eyebrow. “Isabella… Symons?”
It was perfectly normal for him to recognize her at
a glance, as they had met before, given her
association with Seth for the past five years.

Simon’s gaze had a trace of scrutiny as he turned
to look at Seth and Dariel, both still on their horses.
Seth had a cold expression, while Dariel had a faint
smile in his eyes.
Smiling, Simon made a rough guess of the
situation.
“My apologies for startling you and your friends. I’ll
get someone to send you back.” As Simon spoke
politely, Lyra and Freya, standing to the side, looked
at each other and got curious about Isabella’s
identity.
Just as the atmosphere had turned awkward, the
sound of galloping hooves was heard from not far
away. It was clear that they were rushing this way.

Gordon and the others went after the horses but
felt worried halfway, so they abandoned the
several hostesses and came back to check on
Isabella and the others.
When Freya saw Skyler, her tears instantly rained
down her cheeks, causing the scene to become
very nerve–wracking and awkward.
Gordon immediately went over to Isabella after
getting off his horse. He pulled her over to him by
her arm and asked nervously, “Are you okay? Did
you get hurt?”
