Meanwhile, Clarissa was pretending to pack her suitcase and handbag when her cell phone rang. When she saw the words ‘Mr. Challe’ displayed on the caller ID, she deliberately pretended as if she could not be bothered to pick up the phone and put it to her ear to answer the call. So, she turned on the speakerphone directly, put her cell phone aside, and spoke up, “Mr. Challe, I’m about to board the plane. If there’s anything, we can talk after I land instead.”
The other party’s voice sounded very urgent as he said, “Miss, Madam met with an accident!”
Clarissa suddenly tensed up and hurriedly asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with my mom?!”
The other party said, “Madam went riding with the little master today. I don’t know what happened, but the horse got scared and kicked Madam. Madam passed out. I just took her to the hospital and the doctor said that her condition is a little serious.”
Clarissa said anxiously, “What exactly happened? How did my mother get kicked by a horse?! What was the steward doing? What was the manager of the race course doing? Tell the manager of the race course to pack up and get lost immediately! Take that horse out and kill it! If it could kick my mother today, it might drop my son tomorrow!”
The other party stammered, “Miss... that is the horse that Sir bought from Turkmenistan for more than eight million dollars. It is an authentic Ferghana horse. Wouldn’t it be a little too hasty to kill it just like that?”
Clarissa said coldly, “You will kill it when I ask you to kill it. Even if it is a good horse, I do not want it if I cannot tame it! This is the price it has to pay for making mistakes!”
Elaine, who was aside, was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she thought to herself, ‘Clarissa is going to kill this horse that costs eight million dollars just because it kicked her mother?! If this figure is rounded up, it’s close to half a billion dollars! I really do not understand rich people’s mentality...’
The secretary, who was on the other end of the line, could only say helplessly, “Okay, Miss. I will arrange for someone to do it later, but Madam’s condition is not optimistic. Do you want to come over and see her?”
In truth, Elaine did not really care about an old lady she had never met. In fact, not to mention Clarissa’s mother, Elaine would not even be bothered to ask about her own mother, and for so many years, she had rarely even gone back to her own mother’s house to see her.
The reason why Elaine had said this was mainly because she did not want her trip to Hong Kong to go down the drain.
After all, she was still waiting to go to Clarissa’s big villa on Steerlain Island so that she could enjoy herself for a few days.
Wouldn’t all her plans be ruined if Clarissa did not leave today?
