Chapter 65 The white horse suddenly went wild , scaring the crowd into scattering in all directions .
Alexis , still shaken , barely dodged the horses 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 .
w the Paisley shrugged casually .
I didnt do anything .
Didnt you see ? I just gave it a pat Under the watchful eyes of the crowd , there was no way wouldve done anything sneaky .
It really was just a light smack on the horses nump .
Usually , a horse that was suddenly frightened might have become agitated , perlups eve even started kicking .
However , these were specially trained horses , and the strength of one woman wasnt enough to provoke such a strong reaction in a thick skinned animal , The white horse seemed to senle down as the sharp sting of pain began to fade .
Under everyones wary gaze , Paisley b began walking toward it .
Stop ! Thats dangerous .
Dont 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 .
Dont go , Dom Im scared she whispered , her voice trembling- While they hesitated , Paisley had already stepped forward , now standing right in front of the horse .
Dominicks brows furrowed deeply , but when the horse showed no signs of harming her , his tensed shoulders finally relaxed .
Paisley gently stroked the horses 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 horses right hindquarters .
Theres 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 List resort ! Its because this area is close to the horses powerful hind legs .
And for the horse , this spot is essentially in its blind spot , If you inject here , its easy to startle a horse , especially if its nervous or skittish .
Thats why when people give injections to unfamiliar horses , this spar is never their first choice .
For some reason , the crowd actiny listened as if they were attending an impromptu equine science class .
Dominicks gaze softened as he quietly watched Paisley speak , an inexplicable ripple stirring in his chest .

Even the anger on Graysons face began to fade as he focused intently on her words .
Marissas face darkened when she saw how Paisley had shifted the atmosphere .
A flicker of malice crossed Marissas 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 Paisleys words so casily .
* What am I doing ? Im on Marissas side .
I need to show where my loyalty lies , she scolded herself in her mind .
With a hardened expression , Alexis cut Paisley off , Whats the point of all this ? Does any of this proye you didnt cause Marissa to fall off her horse ! bunch of idiots .
Hearing that .
Paisley couldnt help but scoff , You bu Actually , Paisley knew that it wasnt 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 Dominicks 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 didnt really care about the real reason Marissa fell of 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 Marissas fall , these people would still side with fier , spinning baseless arguments to defend her .
Having seen through all this long ago .
Paisley didnt let it stir ser emotions .
To her , these people were nothing more than clowns .
Of course , I can prove it , Paisley said
