Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Zara felt extremely embarrassed; how could the horse be so docile around Xaviera Evans just a moment ago and suddenly become so temperamental near her?

The horse that Xaviera could ride, she couldn’t control, this was simply impossible!

Zara awkwardly laughed, “It’s been a long time since I last rode a horse, I’m probably a bit rusty and scared this horse.”

Those who had followed her immediately tried to comfort her, “It’s alright. This horse seems quite spirited, but Zara is skilled in horsemanship. Taming this horse is only a matter of time.”

Zara’s face relaxed a little, her palms sweating from anxiety, but she still gritted her teeth, grasped the reins tightly, and stepped on the stirrups to attempt mounting the horse again—

However, the horse became even more violent, leaping madly and throwing her off.

The scene fell silent.

After three attempts without even mounting the horse, it was clear that Zara’s horsemanship was nothing to brag about. The previously boastful Zara felt so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

No one dared to speak, only Xaviera watched her seriously and sighed, “Ah! Miss Woods kept boasting about her excellent horsemanship, but she can’t even get on the horse!”

The air was eerily quiet, and the horse stood obediently to one side, with innocent eyes, as if everything happening had nothing to do with it.

Zara’s mouth twitched slightly, her face extremely ugly. She clenched the reins tightly and, gritting her teeth, she forcefully mounted the horse.

Xaviera’s eyes narrowed slightly; this was the horse her brother had given her, which she didn’t even dare to scold on an ordinary day, and now Zara was treating it so cruelly.

Zara finally managed to mount the horse and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Xaviera with a smile, “Xaviera, this horse indeed has a fierce temperament. Fortunately, I didn’t let you ride it earlier, or you would’ve been hurt badly if you fell.”

At that moment, Zara felt the horse beneath her growing restless, shifting back and forth. She immediately tightened the reins, choking its neck, her voice filled with a hint of fear, “A horse is just like a person; if you’re tough with it, it’ll behave. Xaviera, you don’t know how to ride, and if you were to get on this horse, you’d definitely… Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, the horse suddenly let out a long cry and dashed off in agitation, furiously shaking its hooves to throw off the rider. Zara’s face turned pale, and she clenched the reins tightly with her life.

Apparently, the choking had hurt the horse, and it grew even more violent, throwing Zara off with all its might.

“Ah!”

Zara instantly felt the world spin around her as she fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, she was wearing protective gear, so her injuries weren’t too severe, but she still felt a sour pain all over her body.

Upon seeing this, Zara’s admirers immediately rushed over to help her up and shouted, “Mr. Yigol Mamet, the horses in your stables are so untamed that they even injured Miss Woods! What should we do now?”

“Yes, this wild horse has hurt someone. Keeping it around would be a disaster. Why not just kill it and avenge Miss Woods?”

Zara was furious and gritted her teeth in hatred. This beast was just like Xaviera, deliberately making things difficult for her. Not only had it humiliated her, but it had also injured her. It deserved to be killed.

“Didn’t Miss Woods claim to be an expert in horsemanship? In reality, she’s not that great!”

Xaviera laughed and said in a nonchalant tone, her face filled with surprise, “I learned something new today. If you can’t tame a horse, you have to kill it? Mr. Yigol Mamet runs a stable, not a slaughterhouse! You say you’re here to show support, but I think you’re here to cause trouble!”

Yigol Mamet quickly chimed in, “Exactly, one shouldn’t attempt what one cannot handle. If you have poor horsemanship but still insist on riding a horse, it’s no wonder you’d want to kill it. Zara, if every untameable horse had to be killed, how could my stable stay in business?”

Zara’s face turned pale.

Xaviera said leisurely, “Miss Woods went to great lengths to steal my horse, I thought her horsemanship would be amazing. To think that she could barely mount it before falling off again.”

Yigol Mamet sneered disdainfully, “Zara, just forget it. If you have to kill every horse you can’t tame, I can’t afford it. After all, you got injured in my stable. Let’s just put the medical expenses on my tab and send you to the hospital!”

The two of them exchanged verbal blows, infuriating Zara to the point that her face turned green with anger.
