Chapter 673 Chapter 673 Chapter 673 The SPain Emelie tightened the reins, leading the horse away from the feed trough, and turned to face Jodie. "My methods may not be honorable, but I would never resort to such despicable tactics." Jodie didn't understand. She didn't subscribe to the idea that "Discretion is the better part of valor". Therefore, she thought that shortcuts were simply tools for accomplishing tasks.
Tampering with William's horse to kill him seemed like a perfectly logical strategy, and an easy one too. Why wouldn't she do it? Emelie dismounted from her horse and walked up to Jodie. "Do you truly believe eliminating William would bring my revenge to an end?" Jodie frowned, confused. Wasn't that the goal? Emelie was amused. "If it were that simple, I would've hired mercenaries to eliminate the venomous snake, the eagle, the black panther, and the lion." Why would she go through all the trouble of a complex schif her grudge could be resolved so easily? "Even if he was removed, the Middleton family and the Cloudex Corporation would still exist. They have a solid foundation, the resources, and the talent to quickly replace William and stabilize the company. It's like when I took over the Filo family during Wesley's coma," Emelie explained.

"I want them to experience the spain we endured. Only then can I consider it an apology," she said. A shiver ran down Jodie's spine. She bowed slightly, saying, "I understand. I won't take any actions without your orders." Emelie grabbed the saddle, stepped on the stirrup, and mounted her horse. "Just you wait, they should too. They will pay for their betrayal, right under their noses." She tugged on the reins, and her horse walked toward William. "Which team will you be joining, Mr. Middleton?" Riding attires were usually fitted. From the shoulders to the waist to the thighs, the fabric clung close to the body, showing off a person's figure.
William had broad shoulders and long legs, so he looked dashing in his white shirt, white trousers and black boots. No matter how bad his character was, William always looked handsome.
He wore a pair black leather gloves and held a riding crop. He raised his head to look at her. "There are enough people on your team, Ms. Pierce. I'll join Mr. Davis." Charles was in high spirits. "With you on my team, it seems I will definitely win today!" Emelie replied, "Mr. Davis, don't boast now. It would be embarrassing if you lost later." Charles laughed. "We'll see!" The stableman brought William's horse over. It was a maroon mixed-breed horse. He stepped on the stirrup and mounted the horse in one swift motion.
Emelie rode up to William, who looked at her.
William said, "Your riding skills are quite impressive." Emelie forced a smile. "You flatter me, Mr. Middleton."

The forest was huge, so once the horses entered, they disappeared like sands trickling through marblesm Emelie and Jodie were the first to enter the forest, but the dense trees quickly disoriented them. However, they were in no hurry to win the race since they had another goal in mind. As they continued their journey, an unsettling silence enveloped the forest. The absence of other riders was unusual.
Emelie smirked. "It seems I overestimated the integrity of our competitors. Just becayset wouldn't stoop to their level doesn't mean they wouldn't. As the saying goes, 'Nobility will only inhibit you, while despicableness allows you to do as you please"." Ashburn > Right after saying that, four masked men jumped down from the trees and surrounded Emelie and Jodie.
