Chapter 278: Chapter 290: The Repeated Confessions (27)

Suddenly, when he heard Isabel Smith’s cry, "Elijah, watch out—" his brow furrowed and he turned his head, only to see the horse above him raising its front hooves, neighing and pouncing towards him.

Elijah Smith was so scared that he froze on the spot, completely forgetting to dodge. Just as he was thinking in his heart that he was done for this time, suddenly a figure threw itself onto him. Then, a faint, muffled groan sounded in his ear, followed by the figure behind him pushing him down heavily, nearly falling to the ground.

Elijah Smith propped himself up with his hands on the ground, and before he could recover, he felt the figure behind him lighten, and the figure fell off his back onto the ground next to him.

Subconsciously, Elijah Smith twisted his head to see Isabel Smith, her face pale and her eyes closed, lying motionlessly beside him, as if her whole body were limp.

Elijah Smith suddenly froze there, his brain seemed to solidify, completely unable to think about anything, just staring blankly at Isabel Smith.

The horse field instantly became chaotic due to this sudden change. Many people screamed and dodged to the side, and CEO Wood also rode his horse away with the crowd.

Percy Stanton and Raymond Thompson were some distance away from Isabel Smith; although he seemed to be focusing on accompanying his son in horse riding, his gaze would occasionally sweep over Isabel Smith.

After Percy Stanton helped adjust Raymond Thompson’s helmet, he habitually glanced once again at where Isabel Smith was, only to find her being thrown off the horse like a severed kite.

The hand Percy Stanton used to fasten Raymond Thompson’s helmet strap trembled slightly, and then he quickly said, "Stay here and behave, I’ll be right back!"

He then mounted his own horse and rushed towards Isabel Smith.

When Percy Stanton arrived, the stablemen of the horse field had already rushed over to subdue the crazed horse, and many people were gathered around, whispering to each other.

"There’s so much blood..."

"What happened? How could she fall off the horse for no reason?"

"Yeah, and it’s not just one person who fell..."

Percy Stanton dismounted from his horse, casually discarding the reins, and was about to squeeze through the crowd when he suddenly heard these conversations.

Percy Stanton felt as if all his courage had been forcibly taken away, and he paused abruptly.

So much blood...

Who was bleeding?

Was it Isabel Smith?

In a moment, Percy Stanton’s heart seemed to stop beating as well.

Someone had already informed Mrs. Smith, and a waiter from the horse field quickly drove a small sightseeing car to bring her over.

"Make way, make way, the family is here, make way—" The crowd parted, allowingMrs. Smith to walk in briskly.

Upon seeing the comatose Isabel Smith and the weeping Charlotte Green on the ground, Mrs. Smith immediately frowned and demanded, "What on earth happened?"

Charlotte Green never expected her little trick to have such serious consequences. As her back was stinging from the whip Isabel Smith had struck her with, she broke into tears. Now, upon seeing Mrs. Smith walking over, Charlotte Green cried even more pitifully, then quickly confessed, "Grandma, it’s all my fault. Elijah and I were playing around, and I accidentally hit Sister Isabel’s horse with the whip. Sister Isabel fell off because of it. Don’t believe me? Just ask Elijah; we really didn’t mean to do it..."

After finishing, Charlotte Green even raised her hand, gently tugging the still-hugging Elijah Smith.

Only then did Elijah Smith’s gaze leave Isabel Smith, his face full of confusion as he looked at Charlotte Green first and then turned to look at Mrs. Smith. Finally, his gaze returned to Isabel Smith’s body.
