At that moment, Ste was pretending to pack her luggage and handbag when her phone rang. When she saw “Secretary Qin” sh across the screen, she deliberately ignored it, switched to speakerphone, and set the phone aside. “Secretary Qin, I’m about to board the ne soon. If there’s anything urgent, let’s discuss it after I’m settled,” she said.


    The voice on the other end was hurried. “Miss, there’s been an ident with the olddy!”


    Ste’s heart raced. “What happened? Is my mother okay?”


    The secretary replied quickly, “The olddy was riding with the young master today. I’m not sure of the details, but it seems the horse got startled and kicked her. She’s unconscious and has just been taken to the hospital. The doctor said her condition is quite serious.”


    Ste, now anxious, eximed, “What on earth… How could my mother be kicked by a horse? What’s the housekeeper doing? What about the manager of the racetrack? Get the manager on the line immediately! That horse has to be dealt with! If it can kick my mother today, it could hurt my son tomorrow!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The secretary hesitated before responding, “Miss… that horse was purchased from Turkmenistan for over 8 million US dors by your husband. It’s a real thoroughbred. Killing it might be too extreme…” <fnea91> Updates are released by find{n}ovel</fnea91>


    Ste retorted coldly, “If I say to kill it, then do it! I won’t keep a horse that can’t be controlled, no matter how valuable it is! It must face consequences for this!”


    ine, who was nearby, was taken aback and thought to herself, “So a thoroughbred worth over eight million dors is being put down because it kicked the olddy? That rounds up to nearly half a billion! I really don’t understand the world of the rich…”


    On the other end of the line, the secretary said helplessly, “Alright, Miss, I’ll arrange for that. But the olddy’s condition isn’t looking good. Would you like toe and see her?”


    Ste replied, “I have to see her… I’ll be through security in about half an hour; there’s nothing I can do until then…” She quickly added, “I’m heading back now. I’ll meet you at the hospital!”


    The secretary responded respectfully, “Understood, Miss. See you at the hospital!” After hanging up, Ste turned to ine, frustration evident on her face. “ine, I’m so sorry, but my mother has been kicked by a horse and I need to go to the hospital. I can’t go today.”


    ine felt a twinge of disappointment. She had hoped to use the long flight to bond with the wealthy woman beside her, but now she was unable to leave because of this unexpected situation.


    Suddenly, ine had an idea and said, “Oh, Ste, if the olddy is that badly injured, of course you should go see her! I won’t leave today; I’ll apany you to the hospital. Once she’s alright, we can head back together!”


    In truth, ine wasn’t particrly concerned about a woman she had never met. She hadn’t even bothered to check on her own mother in years. The real reason for her offer was that she didn’t want her trip to Hong Kong Ind to go to waste. After all, she was looking forward to spending a few days at Ste’s mansion on Shixun Road and enjoying the luxury. If Ste didn’t leave today, her ns would be in jeopardy.
