Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 121 - Bab 130

The so-called provocation strategy was quite cunning.Not responding would lead to being mocked, while responding would play right into their hands.Whether he responded or not, it was a frustrating situation.Charlotte's remarks had put Griffith in a bind.No one in the room dared to witness Griffith's embarrassment. Someone took the initiative to suggest the pleasure of night horse racing."Horse racing alone isn't very interesting. We stopped doing that when we were teenagers."Simon looked at the person who spoke, smiling with a hint of mischief. "What kind of game do you find enjoyable, Mr. Dean?""Let's bet on the horses."The group became interested.Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte leaned forward slightly, her chest nearly touching the table's edge. Avoiding Griffith's grasp, she asked, "How do we bet?"Mr. Dean lit a cigarette and explained, "Of course, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lewis won't need to participate personally. Each person will choose a horse, and we'll appoint

The crowd had just offered a few compliments, but the horse seemed to deliberately go against the tide, lifting its front hooves and displaying a frenetic state.The owner quickly called someone, and Charlotte noticed a tranquilizer dart among the tools.Without waiting for the owner's order, Griffith calmly stepped forward.Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.Allison immediately called out, "Mr. Wilson!"Everyone was stunned.The horse was quite spirited, sensing the nearby danger and detecting Griffith's extraordinary aura. In an instant, as he drew closer, the horse shook its mane and assumed a fully armed stance.However, even in such a state, Griffith seized the opportunity and skillfully mounted the horse.His movements were so fast that they left people in shock.Unable to accept this change, the horse tried to dislodge him by repeatedly lifting its front hooves to toss him off.However, Griffith held the reins firmly, unwavering like a mountain.After trying to fling h

Simon's horse was indeed good, and the woman riding it was experienced. She knew how to conserve energy and did not constantly charge ahead. As for Griffith's choice of horse, it had been trailing behind, neither too far nor too close to the lead, managing to keep up with the main group.Charlotte was caught up in the atmosphere and remained tense even though she had not placed a bet. She knew Griffith too well. If he were to lose, it would be a loss of face for him, and the situation would not look good. As for Simon, he seemed to have thick skin, and if he lost, it probably would not bother him much. Hence, Charlotte hoped that Griffith would win."That horse is quite impressive, holding on without faltering," Simon remarked as he watched Allison's horse fall further behind.Charlotte glanced at Griffith. He remained silent, his emotions unreadable.In the arena, the horses had reached halfway. Simon's horse had gradually moved to the front. The cheers grew louder, and those who

Charlotte was already convinced that Griffith would give the horse to Allison, but the next moment, he said, "I'll have a set of jewelry delivered to the Garden of Eden tomorrow morning."Allison was stunned.Griffith lit a cigarette. With his other hand, he fed grass to the nearest white horse. The white horse, tall and majestic, lowered its head in front of him, eating docilely.The owner looked at him, then glanced at Charlotte and Allison."Mr. Griffith, what about this... wild horse?""Handle it according to the racetrack's rules," Griffith replied, then dropped the horse's food and walked away.Charlotte stood still for a moment, then quickly chased after him. "Griffith!"But he did not stop. She continued to follow, grabbing his arm. As they entered the indoor area, Allison wanted to follow, but Ash said something to her, causing her to change her mind.Charlotte looked back and saw the horse was already being dragged away. Before she could say anything, her hand was sha

Charlotte rushed downstairs, barely paying attention to her small injuries. Back at the stables, the scent of blood grew stronger. She walked along the horse stalls, one by one, until she reached the stubborn horse at the very end.Unlike when it entered the arena, it seemed more desolate, leaning in the corner quietly. Although Allison had removed its restraints in the arena, she had used quite a bit of force during the intense race to control it. As a result, when she unbridled it, it had sustained several wounds on its neck that were now oozing blood.Charlotte watched with a heavy heart. She turned to a young female worker nearby. The girl approached and asked if she had any instructions."Was this horse like this when it arrived?" Charlotte inquired.The girl shook her head. "No, it acted up after being drugged."Charlotte was baffled. The girl continued, "Don't think only humans have emotions. Animals do too. This horse is a bit peculiar. It has a bad temper and is stubborn.
