All Chapters of Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

"Did Ms. Graham and Ms. Spencer get on someone's wrong side somehow? I don't understand why some people just have to be so confrontational. Don't they know that they should at least have basic respect toward others?"The people around them whispered among each other, criticizing Shelley for being inconsiderate and lacking in manners.Shelley winced slightly in embarrassment. She stammered with an awkward expression, "I-I didn't mean it that way! I'm blunt with my words, but I never looked down on them. If I did, why would I even come here?""Need I remind you that you just ordered me to lead your horse, saying that menial work like this is fitting for a lowly horse trainer like me? We've long moved past the master-slave dynamic in society. Don't you understand that everyone is equal in the modern world?" Mia questioned.Her voice was calm and indifferent, yet it carried an inexplicable authority that made everyone feel uneasy.Shelley was at a loss for words, and her face turned a

Shelley was at the front of the group. Her horse was much taller than the others. It gave off an imposing presence.She turned her head and lifted her chin in Angela's direction to taunt her.Angela, however, simply averted her gaze indifferently. She didn't even bother to spare Shelley so much as a glance.As soon as the whistle blew, Shelley shouted, "Giddy up!"Her riding posture was textbook perfect. She leaned slightly forward, her gaze sharp and focused, every muscle in her body tense. She clamped her legs tightly against the horse's belly, coordinating her reins with the occasional whip. In less than a minute, she had already pulled ahead by half a lap.The race was only five laps long, so it would be over quickly.At this moment, Angela had no intention of stealing the spotlight. She planned to take it easy and just enjoy the ride. It was clear that Shelley was determined to win first place today.But just as Charcoal carried her through the second lap, he suddenly bec

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."

Elena's face instantly turned pale. She gritted her teeth and was about to speak when Natalie's voice rang out from outside the door."How is Dexter doing?"Elena's expression brightened immediately. She shot Angela a meaningful glance before stepping outside to greet Natalie."You're finally here, Mrs. Bamford Senior," Elena said, supporting Natalie as she walked in. "Dexter is injured. You should go check on him."Natalie hurried into the hospital room and asked Dexter various questions. When she saw that he didn't seem to be in extreme pain, she finally relaxed a little."Aren't you going to ask what exactly happened? Aren't you curious how Dexter ended up like this, Mrs. Bamford Senior?" Elena prompted.But Natalie didn't go along with Elena's deliberate attempt to steer the conversation in a particular direction. It was as if she already knew the answer.Instead, she turned to Angela and said, "Are you okay, Angela? Horseback riding is kind of dangerous. Maybe you should tr

As Elena's words fell, everyone in the room looked flabbergasted—including Angela.She had never expected that Elena would go as far as confessing her feelings in public upon being driven into a corner.Elena ranted, "Dexter, can't you open your eyes and see who's truly the best for you? You never thought much of her before, so why are you—""Shut up!" Dexter's face contorted with fury.He angrily glared at Elena, who was running her mouth, then gave a firm order to Rocky. "What are you waiting for? Take her away!"Rocky called two men in to assist him. Together, they dragged Elena out of the hospital room.Finally, the farce came to an end.After the crowd dispersed, only Angela and Dexter remained in the room."What do you plan to do with her?" Angela asked, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window as she watched Mia and Zayn leave. She was kind of surprised by the turn of events.Dexter responded simply, "I've asked Rocky to handle it."What he essentially meant was that
