Somehow , Marissa ended up eating it .
Paisley didnt know Marissa was allergic to mango just like Dominick and Grayson didnt remember that the next day was Paisleys birthday Paisley remembered how Grayson had looked at her back then .
It was exactly just as furious as he was now , convinced she had deliberately given Marissa the mango cake to hurt the girl he liked .
Dominick had believed in Paisleys innocence at the time .
Even so , he spent ther entire birthday at the hospital with Marissa , completely forgetting about her special day .
Even after all this time , the memory of that day still weighed heavily on Paisleys heart .
As Paisley was lost in her thoughts , Alexis was already speaking , her voice firm and accusatory .
Alexis said firmly .
Are you still going to deny it ? It was you .
You were scared Marissa would outshine you , so you sabotaged her .
When she rode past you , you spooked her horse and caused her to fall off Paisley couldnt help but nod in admiration at those words .
There really was some truth to them .
Do you have any proof ? she asked , utterly calm , showing none of the anxiety one might expect from someone whose misdeeds had been exposed .
Proof ? What more proof do we need ? Alexis shot back .
Everyone here saw it with their own eyes .
Thats proof enough .
The crowd then murmured in agreement .
It wasnt that they couldnt be bothered to find evidence it was that they didnt care to .
Theyd rather side with Marissa .
As for the truth ? It didnt matter to the Just like Alexis said , theyd all witnessed Marissas horse go wild just as she was about to overtake Paisley .
And Paisley seemed almost prepared , not only avoiding the chaos entirely but also leaping her horse cleanly out of the arena It was such a flawless reaction that some even thought not even the renowned equestrian Yohan could have pulled it off .
Just then , a voice cut through the chatter .
Maybe theres been some kind of misunderstanding What shocked everyone wasnt just the words themselves but the person whod said them Dominick Alexis , who had been fervently championing Marissa just moments ago , froze in disbelief , wondering if shed misheard him .
Even Marissa herself hadnt expected him to take Eisleys side at a time like this , Marissa looked at Dominick with a pitiful expression , her beautiful eyes brimming with grievance .
Dom … but my horse was fine before .
How come it freaked out right when I was about to overtake her … He didnt believe Paisley would stoop to ich dirty tricks , but he also didnt think Marissa would falsely accuse her .
So , he could only say , Theres probably some misunderstanding here .
Maybe something really is wrong with the horse But you were the one who chose the horse for me .
How could there be a problem ? Marissas voice was tinged with frustration .
Dominick had chosen the horse himself , so it couldnt possibly have any issues .
Marissa was kind hearted and wouldnt try to frame Paisley .
Thus , that left only one possibility Paisley had to be the problem .
Paisley , unfazed and unbothered , raised an eyebrow .
If theres a problem , why dont we ask the horse ? As she spoke , a staff member led the horse over with an apologetic expression .
Im so sorry .
The horse got spooked and caused your injury .
Ive already contacted David and the medical team theyre on their way .
Yet , no one paid attention to the staff members explanation .
All eyes were fixed on Paisley instead .
Alexis crossed her arms and said sharply .
The horse is perfectly fine now .
Think you can make it freak out again ? Someone in the crowd echoed her thoughts , pondering , Exactly .
The horse was fine before , and its fine now .
It only freaked out when it was near Paisley .
Nobody would believe her unless she can make it act up again Paisley chuckled , Sure , lets make it act up again .
Earlier , while everyone else was fussing over Marissa , Paisley had noticed something unusual about the horse .
The white stallion had been repeatedly swishing its tail against its right hindquarter .
Stepping closer , Paisley raised her hand and gave a firm slap to the spot where the tail had been brushing .
The horse immediately neigh and went berserk once more .
