Chapter 99
Natalie looked at Mira in surprise. “How did you know p>
“Is it really true?” Liora and Celine asked in unison.
“If I’m not mistaken, the person you’re engaged to is Wesley p>
“What? You two are together? And this fast?” her two friends cried out.
This was typical of the Scott family-classic business people, extremely pragmatic, and always prioritizing their own interests over personal feelings. In her past life, the moment Mira’s reputation was tarnished, which threatened their own name and stock price, they immediately switched their choice to Mara.
In this life, right after their falling out with the Mercer family, they were eagerly arranging an engagement with the fifteen-year-old heiress of the Rivers family. They didn’t care if the two were in love or compatible; all that mattered was solidifying the alliance as quickly as possible. This was how high-society marriages worked.
But none of this had anything to do with Mira anymore.
The Scotts weren’t good people, but they had no direct involvement in her death in her past life. It was best to treat them as strangers. For now, Mira and her friends would just enjoy Miss Rivers’ generosity.
However, she suspected that Mara and Shane wouldn’t let go of the Scott family so easily. A good show was about to start.
In her past life, the Scotts hadn’t been much luckier than the Mercers. They hadn’t escaped their clutches, and Shane had made a massive fortune off their downfall.
Natalie was in high spirits today. She had the stable hands bring out four of the gentlest and most beautiful horses.
“Lightning is mine. You three can take your pick of the rest,” Natalie said before leaping onto her horse in one fluid, graceful motion.
“Wow, she really is the princess of the stables,” Liora couldn’t help but praise.
“Of course,” Natalie replied without a hint of modesty.
Then, the four girls let loose, chasing each other across the lush green fields, their crisp laughter echoing through the air. They were a beautiful sight, drawing the attention of other visitors.
Just as they were having the time of their lives, Liora suddenly pointed to the side. “Look, who are those two p>
Mira and the others

finger. In the distance, a man and a
woman were riding a single horse galloping forward. The man,

handsome and dashing, held the reins while the petite woman was nestled protectively in his arms.
“They look so familiar,” Liora said, observing them closely.
“I think they’re Celine glanced at Natalie and quickly covered her mouth.
“Go tell them to get off that horse,” Natalie said through gritted teeth to a nearby staff member.
“But… but. Forcing a guest to dismount was a bad idea, and this young miss was notoriously. temperamental. He didn’t want to get in trouble because of her.
“Just do as I say. I’ll take responsibility for it p>
“Yes, miss p>
With the young miss’s order, the security guard didn’t dare to disobey and quickly rode after them.
Natalie followed on her horse at a calm, unhurried pace. Mira and her friends were actually impressed. Her high-society upbringing was still intact They had expected her to charge forward and start a fight the moment she saw them.
Mira and her friends trailed behind, ready to watch the show.
“Mira, aren’t you going to stay out of this?” Celine couldn’t help but ask.
“Why should I? I’m not a Mercer anymore p>
“Exactly. Mira doesn’t need to worry about them anymore,” Liora added, always one for straightforwardness.
Just then, Mara’s sharp, shrill voice carried over from ahead. “Why should we get off? We paid to rent this horse p>
Who was this clueless person? What rotten luck! She had finally managed to get Wesley to come to the stables with her and was hoping to nurture their relationship.
