Chapter 28
Isabella kept the fact that the Gates and Shaffer
families jointly developed the horse ranch in mind
because she was afraid to bump into Seth.
Fortunately, they didn’t encounter anyone they
knew before entering the pasture, let alone Seth.
Gordon took good care of her at first, but as Tyrone
and the others teased him, he ended up mingling
with the other men.
While Isabella knew how to ride a horse, she was
not that proficient in it. The last time she had any

substantial lessons was when Seth was in the
mood to teach her. Therefore, she felt uneasy while
holding the reins at this moment and didn’t dare to
squeeze the horse’s belly too hard, fearing it might
suddenly bolt.
Meanwhile, Lyra and Freya were chatting with each
other, and since Isabella wasn’t familiar with them,
she looked to be ousted. Unknowingly, the men’s
female companions had surrounded her.
“Isabella, where are you currently working?”
“You really are something. I haven’t seen Mr.
Dunkstein treat anyone as good as he treats you.”
“Why don’t you teach us a trick or two?”

Once those words were said, Isabella immediately
knew that these women were probably hostesses
from high–end clubs. Therefore, she held the reins
and clamped down slightly harder on the horse’s
belly, not bothering to engage with them.
“What’s with the act? You’re just the same as us. Do
you think you’ll earn more money just because you
have a cold face?” one of the young women.
muttered from behind.
Holding tightly onto the reins, Isabella turned
around and saw the one who spoke was the young
woman named Kiki.
“What are you glaring at us for? Do you think we’re
afraid of you?”

hushed tones. They wore smiles on their faces as if
they were getting along well with Isabella.
Isabella found it quite repulsive–a group of young
women, not even twenty years old, who acted that
way. Also, beneath those delicate faces harbored
countless sordid thoughts, and they were afraid
that someone might steal their business.
She wanted to ignore them, but the girls were
persistent and gradually approached her while
seemingly unintentionally surrounding her horse.
“You guys pushed me into this,” she whispered.
Kiki snorted, obviously not taking her words.
seriously.

Then, Isabella tightened the reins and suddenly
raised her leg to kick the horse on her left, followed
by kicking the one on the right. Both horses were
startled at the same time and neighed in unison
before frantically running away.
“Help!”
All four horses surrounding Isabella got startled,
and since all the young women didn’t know how to
ride them, they were all scared out of their wits.
Isabella had been holding tightly onto the reins in
advance, so her horse turned two circles and soon
calmed down.
The commotion drew everyone’s attention, and the
men quickly noticed them. They rushed to get the

ranch’s personnel to go after the startled horses.
Being the kind woman she was, Freya was worried
for the few hostesses and insisted that Gordon and
the others head over to check on them. Therefore,
the men threw away their reins and ran after the
horses, leaving Isabella and the other two women
alone.
As the surroundings quieted down, Freya and Lyra
approached Isabella.
“Would you like to ride a few rounds?” Freya came
over and patted Isabella’s horse.
Isabella shook her head. “I’m not that skilled in
riding horses, so I’m afraid I’ll fall.”

Chuckling, Lyra waved her hand and assured
Isabella, “It’s fine. This horse is very gentle. It won’t
run wild as long as you don’t do anything stupid like
those idiots.”
Her horse was privately kept, so there were quite a
few decorations on her saddle, which chimed
wherever her horse moved.
Upon hearing that, Isabella was intrigued and
thought perhaps she should take the horse for a
few laps. The horse was indeed very gentle.
“Oh, gosh!” Lyra’s sudden exclamation brought
Isabella back from her thoughts.
“Quick! Your horse’s mane is caught on my bell.”
Dhapter 28 The Horse Get Out of Control
Looking down, Isabella noticed that the two horses
were too close together, and her horse’s mane got
snagged at some point. She hurriedly bent over to
untangle the horse’s mane but discovered it was
snagged too tightly and couldn’t be untangled.
Moreover, her horse was clearly agitated from its
mane getting tugged on.
The originally gentle horse began to rear up. The
large movement was intended to throw Isabella off
its back, but it broke the strand of hair, causing the
horse so much pain that it went crazy on the spot.
“Quick! Get someone to help. I can’t control it.”
Isabella panicked and could only grip tightly on the
reins while screaming for Freya and the others to

get someone.
However, everyone around them had gone to
chase after those idiots, so the place was empty.
Not even a single rider could be seen.
The horse was in so much pain that it couldn’t be
calmed down. Then, it stubbornly reared up,
insisting on throwing Isabella off its back.
At first, Isabella could still grasp the reins, but she
couldn’t hold on after it attempted to shake her off
several times.
“Watch out!” Freya’s yell wasn’t put to much use
because when the horse kicked out its front hooves
once again, Isabella fell straight from its back. The
horse was tall, and falling from it rendered

Isabella’s back in excruciating pain.
Before she could yelp in pain, she felt a wave of
fear wash over her.
“Isabella, get out of the way!”
Get out of the way? How am I going to move?
Isabella’s eyes widened, and she had no time to
dodge. All she could do was watch as the horse’s
hooves came down on her. Instinctively, she moved
an inch to the side, but it was useless.
Bang! A gunshot sounded.
