Chapter 100
Both horses were still moving forward. Since Wesley and Mara refused to stop, the security guard didn’t hold back. He spurred his horse, caught up, and grabbed the reins of their horse.
Anyone working security at the stables had top-notch equestrian skills.
“I told you, there’s a problem with this horse. Are you getting down yourselves, or do I have to pull you down p>
“My friend, if there’s a problem with the horse, why did your stable rent it to guests?” Wesley finally reined in the horse, dismounted, and then carefully helped Mara down.
But the moment they saw Natalie, they understood everything.
“This is your doing, isn’t it? You’re jealous that I’m with Wesley p>
Natalie ignored Mara and looked straight at Wesley. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation p>
“Mara was upset and just wanted me to come out with her for a bit,” Wesley said, not looking the least bit ashamed. This was his usual style.
“Just for a bit? She has four older brothers. Why did she have to ask you? Aren’t you afraid people will say you’re playing both sides? You can’t possibly be this clueless about her intentions, can you p>
“Playing both sides? What do you mean?” Mara seemed to be unaware that the two were engaged.
“It means exactly what it sounds like. Our engagement ceremony is on the sixth of next month. I hope that in the future, you’ll stop trying to seduce other people’s boyfriends. Next time, it won’t be just a simple warning.” Natalie said, looking down at her from atop her horse.
Mara instantly lost her composure. “You shameless man-stealer! Wesley, tell me it’s not true!” she shrieked, grabbing his arm.
“Shameless’ is a word that suits you better. No one in the world is more shameless than you. Wesley, answer her p>
“It’s true p>
“Wesley, how could you p>
“Why couldn’t he?” Natalie interjected. “Before, he was your sister Mira’s fiancé, and you kept hitting on him. That wasn’t my business. But now, he’s my fiancé. If you keep up your fickle, shameless behavior, don’t blame me for not being polite p>
“Escort this young lady out p>
A staff member moved to grab Mara, but she slapped his hand away.
“Natalie, you’re going too far! Wesley, help me!” She clung to Wesley’s arm.
*Smack! Smack!* Natalie’s patience finally snapped, and she delivered two sharp slaps to Mara’s face.
As she raised her hand for a third slap, Wesley caught her wrist.
“Just let her leave. I’ll spend the day with you p>
“Fine.” Natalie lowered her hand and looped her arm through Wesley’s.
“Natalie, you’re shameless p>
“Shut her up p>
“Mara, just go home. The Mercer bodyguards are at the entrance,” Wesley said.
But Mara continued to struggle and scream, refusing to leave.
Wesley looked up and suddenly spotted Mira. “Please, take your sister and leave. I’m begging you p>
“Have you forgotten? I’m not a
Mercer anymore. Their business has to do with me Mira

looking down at him from her horse.
Wesley frowned, clenching his jaw as he watched Mara being dragged away.
After that, with Wesley joining them, Mira and her friends didn’t want to be third wheels, so they split off from Natalie’s group to ride on their own. As Wesley watched Mira walk away, a look of deep conflict flashed across his face before he masked it. As the heir to a powerful family, many things were not his decision to make.
Meanwhile, after being escorted home by her bodyguards, Mara didn’t even have a chance to
complain to her parents before
