Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 245

Zayn fell into deep thought and suddenly recalled that when Angela had first mounted Charcoal, everything had been fine. Then, Charcoal had gone berserk out of nowhere. It was highly likely that something had suddenly provoked him.

"Our horses are generally chosen for their gentle temperament, and they are trained daily by professional horse trainers. They wouldn't just go mad for no reason," Mia said, furrowing her brows.

She then added, "If anything happens to them, I won't be able to forgive myself even if I die a hundred times over."

She lowered her head in shame. No matter what, the incident had happened at her club. She wouldn't be spared from blame.

Suddenly, Elena stood up and said coldly, "Ms. Spencer, you'd better hurry up with your investigation. This concerns the safety of the Bamford family's heir. If anything happens to Dexter, the Bamford family will not let this go easily.

"At that point, it won't just be you. You'll drag the Jewell family down with you as well."

"This is her problem alone. What does it have to do with the Jewell family?"

To everyone's surprise, Florence had arrived at the scene. Clad in a brown trench coat, she entered with two bodyguards flanking her sides. Her powerful presence sent chills down everyone's spine.

As soon as she arrived, she glared at Zayn, her useless son, before turning to Mia.

Her voice took on a detached and somewhat accusatory tone as she said, "Ms. Spencer, you better brace yourself to explain this to the Bamford family. No matter how you try to spin this, you won't be able to escape accountability."

Florence had received the news about the incident half an hour earlier. At that time, she had been attending a banquet and having a good chat with her friends.

She had been in a good mood until her assistant had informed her that there had been an incident at the equestrian club. She had rushed over immediately.

Angela forced a small smile. "I'm fine. Don't worry."

"That's a relief… I'm so sorry." Mia's voice was heavy with guilt, and her eyes were red with distress.

Angela could see how tense and anxious she was, so she offered a few comforting words before settling down to wait with everyone else.

"Angela, you seem to be holding up well. Can you tell us what exactly happened back there? It was your horse that went berserk, but why was Dexter the one who ended up injured?" Elena spoke up all of a sudden.

Her voice was gentle, but there was unmistakably an element of blame in her choice of words.
