Chapter 529 Watching as Jessica gracefully made her way back to the riding track, Taya clenched her hands into fists and tightened them. She locked her gaze on Jessica, who got on the horse and quickly caught up with Griffon as if she had said something to him. Griffon slowed down, and then he followed the direction in which Jessica pointed and saw Taya sitting in the rest area. He and Jessica were riding their horses side-by-side. They seemed like a perfect match, while Taya, who couldn’t ride a horse, could only watch from a distance. The fact that those born at the bottom of the social ladder were at a disadvantage since birth was despair-inducing. It was harder for them to learn things like that after growing up. Although Taya had gotten Jessica riled up, she still felt insecure deep down. Thus, she slowly looked away, got up, and walked to the changing room. Jessica told Griffon, “Griffon, Taya is relying on you to back herself up. She’s deliberately acting arrogant in front of me.
Aren’t you bothered?” After Griffon glanced at Taya, he looked away before pulling out a slender whip from the saddle. He raised his hand and aggressively whipped Jessica’s horse. The horse raised its front hooves in pain, and after neighing, it went crazy, stomping on its hooves and galloping wildly toward the track.
Jessica, who hadn’t managed to balance herself, tried her best to hold on to the reins so that she wouldn’t fall off. However, her upper body was hanging upside down on the horse’s back, making it difficult to get up. She tilted her head with her eyes wide open. She looked at the man wearing sunglasses, who was riding a white horse and
staring at her coldly. She felt increasingly indignant. Why was he so gentle to Taya but so cruel to her? If she wasn’t skilled at horse riding, that whip would have killed her. Griffon retracted his icy gaze. He turned his horse away without saying a word and quickly ran toward the stable. Seeing Griffon’ sudden anger, and the look on Jessica’s face, his friends were disgusted. “Who invited Jessica here? Don’t you know that Griffon hated
her back in school?”
“Was it Leo? He’s close to Jessica. He must be the one who let her know.”
Leo Warren, who had been accused, immediately grabbed hold of the reins to retreat. He slipped away quietly as if he didn’t know anything. Just as Taya left the changing room, she saw Griffon striding over to her. He took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, looking down at Taya who had already changed. “Are you tired, Taya?” Taya nodded lightly. Before she had time to respond, Griffon said, “Wait for me. I’ll go change.” After he finished speaking, he turned around and quickly made his way into the changing room. As soon as he entered, the other noblemen in the distance rushed to the changing room one after another. Griffon quickly changed his clothes and came out. He bid his friends farewell before leading Taya toward the exit. As soon as they reached the door, they encountered a woman wearing a white feather mask,
The mask only covered her eyes, as if she had just attended a masquerade party and forgot to take it off.
What made Taya’s eyes light up was not the mask, but the face under it. Tara and Jessica were considered the cream of the crop among all the pretty women she had seen before, but the woman in front of her was even more stunning. Her skin was as white as snow, so fair and smooth that no pores could be seen. Under the mask, those slightly slant ed, fox-like eyes clearly possessed a captivating nature. However, it was suppressed by the coldness and arrogance in her eyes, so she simply looked beautiful. She was tall and slim, and had a pure and untouchable aura. It made her seem ethereal. The elegant and glamorous woman paused her graceful steps at that moment, staring at Griffon. Griffon glanced at her indifferently, then looked away. He took Taya’s hand and walked out the door. When the two passed by the woman, she raised her fingers and tapped the mask lightly three times. Only Griffon understood her Morse code-like actions. After walking past her, he suddenly stopped. 5/5 He lowered his head and whispered to Taya, “Wait for me a little longer…” Taya seemed to have understood that he was going to talk to that woman. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it subconsciously. Her intuition told her that the woman wearing the mask would make her even more insecure than Tara and Jessica had. However, Griffon let go of her hand. He turned around, quickly followed the woman’s pace, and walked toward a corner.
