Chapter 65

The white horse suddenly went wild, scaring the crowd into scattering in all directions. Alexis, still shaken, barely

dodged the horse's flying hooves, which had nearly kicked her. She shouted, "What did you do to the horse?"

The white horse thrashed its limbs and twisted its body, its distressed neighs showing a peculiar sense of

grievance.

Paisley shrugged casually. "I didn't do anything. Didn't you see? | just gave it a pat." Under the watchful eyes of

the crowd, there was no way she could've done anything sneaky. It really was just a light smack on the horse's

rump.

Usually, a horse that was suddenly frightened might have becagitated, perhaps even started kicking.

However, these were specially trained horses, and the strength of one woman wasn't enough to provoke such a

strong reaction in a thick-skinned animal.

The white horse seemed to settle down as the sharp sting of pain began to fade. Under everyone's wary gaze,

Paisley began walking toward it.

"Stop! That's dangerous. Don't go near it." Dominick instinctively got up, ready to stop her from approaching the

agitated animal.

Noticing that, Marissa quickly grabbed his arm and leaned into him weakly. "Don't go, Dom... I'm scared," she

whispered, her voice trembling.

While they hesitated, Paisley had already stepped forward, now standing right in front of the horse. Dominick's

brows furrowed deeply, but when the horse showed no signs of harming her, his tensed shoulders finally relaxed.

Paisley gently stroked the horse's neck. "Typically, when administering injections to horses, this spot here is the

safest," she explained, her hand sliding down to its chest. "Next would be this area, the pectoral muscles."

"Finally..." Paisley walked to the horse's right hindquarters. "There's this spot here-the semi-tendinosus and semi-

membranosus muscles." The crowd looked utterly confused, unsure of why she was rambling on about horse

anatomy out of nowhere.

She then continued like a teacher giving a lesson, saying, "So why is the hindquarters the last resort? It's

because this area is close to the horse's powerful hind legs. And for the horse, this spot is essentially in its blind

spot.

"If you inject here, it's easy to startle a horse, especially if it's nervous or skittish. That's why when people give

injections to unfamiliar horses, this spot is never their first choice."

For sreason, the crowd actually listened as if they were attending an impromptu equine science class.

Dominick's gaze softened as he quietly watched Paisley speak, an inexplicable ripple stirring in his chest. Even

the anger on Grayson's face began to fade as he focused intently on her words. Marissa's face darkened when

she saw how Paisley had shifted the atmosphere. A flicker of malice crossed Marissa's face, but she quickly

masked it with a pained expression and let out a soft, deliberate cough.

The sound immediately snapped everyone back to reality. Alexis shook her head, wondering how she had been

drawn into Paisley's words so easily. 'What am | doing? I'm on Marissa's side. | need to show where my loyalty

lies," she scolded herself in her mind.

With a hardened expression, Alexis cut Paisley off, "What's the point of all this? Does any of this prove you didn't

cause Marissa to fall off her horse?"

Hearing that, Paisley couldn't help but scoff, "You bunch of idiots."

Actually, Paisley knew that it wasn't fair to call these people idiots. It was more accurate to say they were simply

used to weighing their options.

After all, in their eyes, Marissa was Dominick's future wife-the future matriarch of the Vanderbilt family.

Compared to Paisley, dressed modestly and with no clear standing, it was painfully obvious who carried more

weight.

Paisley understood that they didn't really care about the real reason Marissa fell off the horse. They just wanted

to impress and flatter her.

Paisley also knew that if their roles were reversed, even if she had deliberately caused Marissa's fall, these

people would still side with her, spinning baseless arguments to defend her.

Having seen through all this long ago, Paisley didn't let it stir her emotions. To her, these people were nothing

more than clowns.

"Of course, | can prove it," Paisley said.
