Chapter 459
From a distance, Nola watched in fury as the mighty horse collapsed to the ground and Emmett, the saved boy, lay beside it. Grinding her teeth, she spat out,
“What the hell happened? Why did that horse just keel over p>
“I… I don’t know, everything was set up perfectly. Could it be the dose of the sedative was too strong p>
“Idiot p>
Nola cursed, her gaze then shifting to Evan, who was now running wildly around the stable. She let out a cold laugh,
“Let that little brat live if he must, but make sure this one ends up dead! This kid deserves it more than anyone p>
“Don’t worry, miss. With such a small kid on a big horse like that, he’s bound to fall off. If the fall doesn’t kill him, the hooves will. And if by some miracle he survives that, he’ll be nothing but a cripple p>
Nola’s eyes gleamed with malice,
“I’d rather he doesn’t die too quickly. Dying fast would be too kind. I hope the horse tortures him to death!…What? What is he doing now? Why is he running into the stable p>
Before Nola could comprehend the situation, Evan emerged from the stable riding the big horse, leading a stampede of other horses out with him! Evan in the lead, the herd of horses charged out of the stable in a mighty rush.
Nola was stunned, “What p>
What on earth were they planning?
A stampede like that could demolish her family’s estate!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Nola shouted desperately, “Stop him! Someone stop him p>
But the Slater family’s security guards and servants, trembling in fear, weren’t about to intervene. A single kick from one of those towering beasts could be fatal, especially with some of them hopped up on stimulants!
Despite Nola’s cries, not a single Slater family staff member dared to step forward, each of them dodging hastily to avoid being trampled!
Evan, riding the lead black horse, stormed into the backyard first.
The backyard, home to chickens, ducks, geese, and even pigs, all raised for the Slater family’s consumption, was his next target.
Evan broke through the fence, releasing them all and herding them toward the main building.
Inside, Aileen was admiring her latest acquisition, a piece of coral jade.
This was a treasure she had won at a major auction in King City, for a whopping half a billion dollars!
Half a billion!
The thought alone was painful.
But to Aileen, it was worth every penny.
Jewelry like this represented not just wealth but status as well.
This piece of coral jade had become famous among the circle of wealthy wives.
The moment its picture was released, it had caught the attention of all the high-society ladies, each of them eager to possess it.
In the end, it was Aileen who secured it with her half-billion-dollar bid!
Remembering the envious glares from the other wives, Aileen couldn’t help but burst into laughter,
“Call me a homewrecker all you want, look down on me all you like. Still, you’ll watch me with envy and jealousy!
I am Mrs. Slater, the mother of Tarquin’s benefactor! My status and wealth are beyond your reach! Everything you desire ends up in my hands! Ha p>
Aileen’s rise as the other woman was no secret among the elite, and the legitimate wives detested her the most.
They looked down on Aileen, the homewrecker, and refused to associate with her.
This angered Aileen greatly!
Fortunately, the protection and high status provided by the Slater family restored her dignity.
As Aileen was laughing heartily, a rooster suddenly flew in, its wings flapping wildly.
Aileen was taken aback.
Before she could react, the rooster landed on her head, clinging to her scalp as if it had found a lifeline, crowing in panic.
The scent of chicken droppings hit her, and her eyes nearly popped out of her skull!
