Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Speaking without Trust, Breaking the Agreement
“Although Mr. Yigol Mamet was a bit scared, he couldn’t help but run over when he saw Xaviera riding the tall horse so handsomely
Xaviera gently stroked the horse and whispered a few words to it, then swiftly dismounted.
Following that, Yigol effortlessly mounted the horse, which began to run with him at a fast pace without any intention of throwing him off. After a round, the horse obediently returned to the starting point.
The crowd was extremely astonished.
“This horse seems well behaved!”
“Yeah, you can see that it’s been trained and has a clever mind. It even knew to bring Mr. Yigol Mamet back to the starting point. We just don’t know why it was so unruly before.”
“Mrs. Mamet said she couldn’t ride, yet she was able to tame this horse. Meanwhile, Miss Woods said she was an expert rider but got thrown off by this horse.”
Upon hearing this, some people began to doubt: “Miss Woods, could it be that you don’t know how to ride at all? This horse is clearly gentle.”
“Even if she’s the daughter of the Woods family, it’s fine if she can’t ride. But boasting about her horsemanship and initially mocking Mrs. Mamet for not being able to ride, then snatching the horse away from her.”
Zara’s face was as pale as paper, her teeth clenched in rage, then she glared at Xaviera viciously.
She had actually lost to that bitch Xaviera!
At this moment, someone abruptly asked, “So many people placed bets earlier, and now that Mrs. Mamet has tamed the horse, isn’t it time to fulfill the promise?”
Zara lowered her head even more.
“Someone said earlier that Mrs. Mamet was capricious, causing Mr. Caleb Mamet to lose 5% of his shares because of her wanting to save face. Now, who’s the cause of Mr. Drew losing his shares?”
“Mrs. Mamet was right. Some people just bring it upon themselves, insisting on snatching away someone else’s horse, and it’s ultimately embarrassing and hurtful to themselves.”
At this moment, Zara felt as if a bomb had exploded inside her heart, and she desperately wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
She hurriedly refuted, “I… I merely made a casual remark earlier and didn’t mean to criticize Xaviera. Besides, I’ve also said, even if Xaviera loses, I won’t take Caleb’s shares.”
As soon as her words fell, Xaviera sneered, “Can’t take the pressure? Mr. Drew, both you and Miss Woods are well-known members of the upper class, yet you don’t keep your word. You were quite happy to place bets earlier, but now that you see I’ve won, you refuse to fulfill your promises?”
Xaviera spread her hands helplessly, “Fine then, if you don’t want to give, then let it be. I can’t force you. But if this gets out, people might say Miss Woods contradicted herself after losing and that Mr. Drew is an untrustworthy person.”
Though her tone was indifferent, red and white hues flashed across Zara and Boyd Drew’s faces.
“Yes, whoever loses face knows in their hearts.”
Yigol derisively and arrogantly commanded, “Someone! Get these people out! They dare to cause trouble on my newly opened horse ranch, clearly looking down on me, the Little Master of the Mamet family!”
At this order, the bodyguards immediately charged forward.
Yigol roared confidently, “Today I’ve truly seen something new – people who place bets but dare to renege on them. Their faces must be thick!”
Everyone felt extremely awkward.
Zara knew that if they fulfilled the bet, the loss would be devastating, and even the entire Woods family would not be enough to compensate.
She quickly approached Xaviera, and Xaviera felt a slight pain on the back of her hand.
Xaviera didn’t let her feelings show, and merely observed Zara’s little act with indifference.
Zara gently advised, “Yigol, don’t be angry. This was actually just a joke.”
Yigol immediately retaliated, “Xaviera didn’t want to bet with you in the first place, but you all insisted one after another. Now that you’ve lost, you say it was just a joke? Zara, you say it’s a joke, but when everyone was pressuring Xaviera to ride earlier, why didn’t I see you stop them? I think you just wanted to see Xaviera humiliated but never thought she’d actually tame the horse!”
Zara was left speechless and her face turned sullen.
Yigol’s invited friends also joined in the discussion.
“I didn’t know you could back out of bets. In that case, let me find someone to bet with. If I lose, I’ll say it was just a joke. If I win, I’ll ask to fulfill the bet. Either way, I can’t lose.”
Everyone laughed, “Haha, you got a point!”
