Chapter 71 Nathaniel and Paisleys departure brought a temporary sense of relief to David and the staff at the stables .
But deep down , David knew he had caused a major problem this time , Just because Nathaniel hadnt confronted him now didnt mean he wouldnt later .
At this point , David figured his best option was to curry favor with Paisley , hoping shed put in a good word for him with Nathaniel .
Even so , David couldnt afford to neglect Dominick the more intimidating figure .
David turned toward Dominick and lowered his head slightly .
He was just about to speak when lie noticed Dominicks dark expression and the suffocatingly tense atmosphere surrounding him , David hesitated for a long moment , too scared to say a word .
He thought , Im done for this time .

To make matters worse , Mr.
Beaumont just walked off like it didnt matter .
Who wouldnt be furious ? Its clear that Mr.
Vanderbilt values Ms.
Prescott a lot .
Left with no choice , David forced himself to speak .
Uh , Mr.
Vanderbilt , about Mr.
Beaumont , he Dominick shot him a cold glare that immediately shut him up again .
Then Dominick turned to Grayson .
Do you still want to ride ? Grayson had already lost all interest and shook his head .
He pondered with a heavy heart , No , I dont want to ride anymore … Then lets go , Dominick said cuntly .
Just then , a choked voice called out from behind them .
Dom Sonny Grayson suddenly remembered she was still hurt .
He hesitated before speaking .
Dad , what about Marissa … His emotions were a tangled mess .
He had always liked Marissa , but today , she had lied and even wronged Paisley .
He wasnt sure how to deal with Marissa now .
The Marissa 1 liked would never lic , Grayson reflected .
But that other woman she lies all the time .
Why does it feel like everythings so different today ? Yet , Marissa had always been kind to him .
Grayson couldnt bring himself to ignore her , leaving him caught in an internal struggle hed never experienced before Dominick , on the other hand , couldnt stop thinking about Paisley how her daughter had clung to Nathaniel , calling him handsome , and how Paisley had chased after them , her expression tinged with amused resignation .
Dominick mused bitterly .
Why is it that you can be warm and kind to everyone else but always give me the cold shoulder .
Paisley And your daughter why does she smile and hug everyone else but see me as the scary and bad guy ? Dominick spoke sharply .
Julian , take Marissa for a detailed checkup .
After leaving that instruction , he took Graysons hand and walked away from .
the stables .
The others were left exchanging uncertain glances , unsure of what to do next The truth was , they were only here because of Dominicks connections .
Without him , they didnt have the privilege to use the premium members- only facilities .
If they wanted to ride , theyd have to return to their own level appropriate grounds .
But with Dominick gone , what was the point of staying For a moment , everyones thoughts diverged , and they regarded Marissa with mixed expressions .
One person wondered , Does Dominick truly care about Marissa ? If he does , why leave her in the care of an assistant while taking his son and leaving first ? But if he doesnt care , why does he constantly protect hert And after all these years , shes still the only woman who has been able to stand by his side .
That much is obvious to everyone ! Marisa could feel all the probing gazes in the room directed at her , and she gritted her teeth silently In the infirmary , the medical staff conducted another thorough examination of Marissa again .
Thanks to her full riding gear , there were no open wounds or cuts on her body or limbs .
The only noticeable injury was a minor scrape on her forehead , but it barely bled .
Bruises marked several parts of her body , but none of them were serious and would fade in a few days .
All in all , she looked more battered and pitiful than she actually was Alexis handed the brooch to Marissa with a complicated expression .
Marissa , heres your brooch .
I had the blood cleaned off it Alexis had stayed with Marissa throughout the checkup and saw everything clearly .
The tiny amount of blood from Marissas forehead couldnt possibly have stained the brooch .
It was olivinan whose blood had been on it .
