Chapter 732
As he spoke, Christopher could not help but want to hold Bella’s hand
again.
Suddenly recalling her discomfort, his hand paused mid-air, his
fingers trembling and curling slightly.
Bella’s heart tightened along with his trembling fingers.
At this moment, Christopher’s secretary ran over, panting with sweat
on his forehead.
“Mr. Christopher! Things are bad!”
Christopher frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Charles has taken the horse you wanted to give Ms. Bella to the
racecourse.”
Upon hearing it, Christopher adjusted his glasses, his eyes burning with rage. His expression turned frosty.
On the other side, Charles had his horse trainer lead a well- proportioned and majestic Akhal-Teke with a shiny coat for display
to the guests he invited.
“Mr. Charles, this horse is a rare treasure! I’ve only heard of it before. It’s my first time seeing it!”
“This horse must cost at least ten million!”
“Thirty thousand? You’ve underestimated it.”
Charles could not hide his smile as he gently stroked the Akhal-Teke’s
silky
ky coat. “This Akhal-Teke is a rare breed from overseas. There are not many of them. This horse is worth at least $15 million.”
The guests exclaimed and took out their phones to take pictures.
They could afford it, but they would much rather use the money to buy sports cars, villas, or yachts. If they bought a horse, the
maintenance fees would be extravagant. Only extremely wealthy
families like the Iversons, Thompsons, and Salvadors would own
such an expensive pet..
“Come. Give me a hand. I want to see if this horse runs well.”
Charles rubbed his palms and grabbed the saddle, about to climb
onto the horse.
“Who allowed you to touch my belongings?”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, taking everyone present by surprise!
“Fuck!”
Charles was also frightened. He missed a step and fell off the horse.
Luckily, the horse trainer quickly caught him, but he still looked
embarrassed.
“Oh! Mr. Charles, be careful!” The guests acted concerned, but they were suppressing their laughter.
Charles gritted his teeth and pushed the horse trainer away. He
turned around and glared fiercely at the two figures that approached.
It was Bella and Christopher. A handsome couple like them was a
feast for the eyes!
“Look! Who is that woman? She’s so pretty. She looks familiar!”
“It’s Wyatt Thompson’s daughter, Bella Thompson!”
“The man beside Ms. Bella is... Oh God! They look perfect together!”
“I remember now! He’s Lance Iverson’s fourth son, who just returned
to the country! I didn’t know he was so close to Ms. Bella. He must be
an extraordinary man!”
Seeing that Christopher stole his spotlight in a scene he set up, Charles was so furious that his eyes turned red.
Bella did not pay attention to Charles’ ever-changing expression.
Her lips parted as she stared at the shiny Akhal-Teke, letting out a sigh of admiration.
“Beautiful... It’s so beautiful.”
Christopher turned around and looked at the radiant woman beside him. His gaze turned gentle as he smiled softly.
“Christopher, why did you come over?” Charles straightened his back and patted the dust off his body with a plastered smile.
“Charles, how’s my horse? Does it really make you so proud to flaunt someone else’s belongings everywhere?”
Christopher tilted his head and glanced at Charles disdainfully. “If you really want it, you could just ask to borrow it from me.
What’s the point of secretly taking possession of it?”
“You...” Charles turned green from the embarrassment.
“But even
if you ask, I won’t lend it to you.”
