“Mr. Schmidt! Ms. Alyssa! Be careful!” A swift wind stirred up yellow sand and dust. Alyssa’s eyes widened as a black horse broke through the fence, charging straight at them!
Alyssa’s eyes widened. Every nerve in her body tensed. Her red lips quivered. She wasn’t slow to react, but it had happened too fast.
A purebred, powerful horse charging at full speed was equivalent to top te sports car
“Mr. Schmidt!” Todd yelled, desperately trying to reach Jameson for protection, but it was too late.
The uncontrollable black horse charged into the stable, panting heavily, its eyes crimson. It headed straight for Alyssa like a raging madness.
Alyssa’s breath caught. She wanted to run, but in the overwhelming panic, her legs felt like they were nailed down.
“Lysel”
Alyssa’s pupils contracted, and her vision darkened.
Jameson threw himself at her, sweeping her into his arms and flipping them both to the other side just the horse went berserk.
With a loud thud, they landed together. Dust rose.
Jameson’s back hit the ground first, and Alyssa, protected in his arms, suffered only minor scrapes.

Even so, during the fall, she felt a violent shock to her internal organs. It was as if everything inside her was shaken up. One could only imagine the pain Jameson must have endured at the moment of impact.
“Jimmy! Are you okay?!” Alyssa’s eyes reddened in panic.
Jameson’s face turned pale.
“I… Be careful!” Ignoring the pain, he tightened his grip on Alyssa and rolled to the side with all his strength.
The black horse let out a loud neigh and suddenly changed direction. It raised its front hooves abruptly.
Jameson felt a sharp pain in his back. His sult was almost soaked through with his weal
“Jimmy!” Alyssa’s chest felt constricted. She felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing her tightly, ranking it hard to breathe At that moment, Todd and two horse trainers arrived.
They successfully subdued the frantic horse by giving it a powerful tranquilizer. Under the influence othe tranquilizer, the horse’s emotions gradually calmed, and its crimson eyes regained clarity.
Alyssa’s chest

things to come easy. I want to enjoy the rewards without much effort and reach the top in one leap
Jameson softly chuckled by her ear. “Oh? Lyse, can you read minds? Let’s figure it out together.”
Alyssa raised an eyebrow. “You, a grown man, thinking of an easy life without challenges? Aren’t your lacking ambition?”
Jameson continued, “You misunderstood me. I hope my wife lives carefree. His warm breath hinted a desire. “Be my woman and enjoy the easy life. Only men without abilities let their women suffer.”
Alyssa’s breath caught, wondering if she overthought. Jameson’s seemingly gentle words felt a bit sarcastic. Suddenly, a loud neigh broke the silence in the quiet horse stable.
“Mr. Schmidt! Ms. Alyssa! Be careful!” A swift wind stirred up yellow sand and dust. Alyssa’s eye widened as a black horse broke through the fence, charging straight at them!
“Jameson, is this the time for jokes?” Alyssa raised her voice as she was both anxious and angry.
Jameson dared not tease her further. He endured the pain and softly said, “My arm and back are a bit sore.”
Before he finished speaking, Alyssa paused, precisely locating the position of his broken arm. Touching the protruding bone, she recalled the heart-stopping moment just now. A pang of guilt pierced her heart.
“It’s okay, Lyse.” Jameson’s eyes met hers as he said gently.
“And you say it’s okay? You have a fracture!” Alyssa’s eyes reddened as she shouted at him.
He was the one injured, yet he tried to comfort her. It made her feel even more guilty.
“Don’t worry. I’ll mend every bone you break. Even if all the bones in your body break, I’ll fix them all. I will be responsible for you!” Alyssa reassured him.
Jameson felt warmth in his heart. No woman had ever dared to say she’d take responsibility for him. That audacity was one reason he was deeply infatuated with her.
“This is really strange!” One of the horse trainers scratched his head in bewilderment. “This black horse is usually the gentlest and most obedient in our stable. It’s usually timid, so why did it suddenly lose control today?”
Todd glared at him irritably. “Who the hell are you asking? Don’t you know what’s going on? Useless!”
Alyssa seriously contemplated and said, “Normally, horses exhibit abnormal behavior after a severe fright.
“How is that possible?” another horse trainer exclaimed, “This horse has been peacefully staying in the stable. No one touched it or let it out. How could it be scared out of control?”
Upon hearing that, Alyssa and Jameson shared a darkened expression.
Solana City Center was a high-profile gathering of business moguls Javier was busy chatting with familiar business tycoons.
“Mr. Javier! Long time no see
Surprised, Javier turned to see Dominic walking toward him with a champagne glass
“Oh, Mr. Dominic, nice to meet you,” Javier casually greeted.
Compared to Dominic’s warmth, Javier’s attitude seemed somewhat aloof. Despite being Winston’s only brother and holding the position of vice chairman at KS Group, the majority of KS’ shares and industries were still under the control of Winston and his children.
Dominic was more of a figurehead. Even within the company, he lacked the influence Jonah held as the company’s president. Naturally, Jonah was poised to inherit the KS conglomerate as Winston’s legitimate eldest son.
In a few years, Dominic’s status would become virtually obsolete! Business circles always played this name of influence.
Javier might not like Winston, but at least Winston’s status warranted a conversation. Dominic, on the other hand, was a different story.
“Mr. Dominic, is Mr. Winston not coming? Are you here alone?” a tycoon curiously inquirer
“Winston has been busy with family matters lately. He couldn’t make it.” Dominic sighed with feigned concern.
“You’ve likely heard about Lyla’s recent struggles. It’s been tough for her, almost unbearable. Winston fears she might do something drastic, so he’s been by her side day and night. Social events are the last thing on his mind.”
Javier remained a straight face upon hearing that. However, his eyes betrayed a myriad of emotions.
“Oh! I heard about this before. Come on! It has been so many years, and someone still brought it up. Don’t they have better things to do?” someone commented
Another person commented, “I’m sure it’s jealousy! They can’t stand seeing the attention she gets on her birthday. Besides, she married a wealthy man and is beautiful!
“They can’t stand all that, so they resorted to digging up old dirt. It’s an everyday occurrence.
“It happens all the time with celebrities managed by my entertainment company. They’re always backstabbing and spreading rumors for no good reason!”
Javier pursed his lips and furrowed his brows slightly. Even though they were just expressing their opinions without mentioning anyone, he still felt an indescribable discomfort.
“Mr. Taylor is truly a loyal person.”
“Indeed. After all, Lyla was an actress and on! gave birth to a daughter. Yet, Mr. Taylor treats her well. It truly speaks volumes about his character!”
Upon hearing those words, the guests nodded in agreement. On the other hand, Dominic smiled awkwardly. He could not help but feel resentful.
He h thought by bringing up this matter, people would see Winston as a laughingstock. To Dominic’s dismay, his plan backfired.
To make things worse for him, the attendees even praised Winston. He thought they were status-
conscious, trying to bootlick Winston at every opportunity.
Javier looked up to check the time. Then, he glanced around. Nevertheless, Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.
“Mr. Javier, why isn’t Mr. Walsh here? This is an important occasion, after all,” Dominic asked tentatively.
Javier replied, “Oh, he’ll be here soon.”
“Is that so? That’s great!” Dominic exclaimed as his eyes lit up.
In the next rond, his tone became more polite. “Our group is currently working on a promising project
