Wendy's screams were getting quieter, but it did nothing to stop the whip in Chloe's hand.
"Please stop... I’m begging you..."
Fear was taking over Wendy. She even thought she might be beaten to death by Chloe today.
"Please stop hitting her."
Someone tugged at her clothes from behind. Chloe turned around and saw a girl with a worried look on her face. "Just stop it, if she dies, you're going to end up in jail. It's not worth it..."
Chloe turned back to look at Wendy, who was curled up on the ground, and finally put away her whip.
"You're right, killing her would just be a waste of my time and energy. It's not worth it!"
When she finished speaking, she turned to look to the side. There stood Damon, his gloomy gaze moving away from Wendy.
As Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed to see the tall figure standing not far away. She froze, then looked up. The pain of each whip lash seemed to have suddenly eased.
Chloe also clearly saw the murderous intent in Damon's gaze as he turned away from Wendy.
From the moment Wendy's whip fell on Chloe, Damon wanted Wendy dead. When did he really care about the power of the Alonso family or Wendy, whom he grew up with?
Only when he saw Chloe angrily go over to Wendy and personally teach her a lesson, did his murderous intent lessen somewhat.
Seeing Chloe finally stop, a few working staff standing next to Damon looked at him nervously, cautiously seeking his opinion.
"Mr. Harper......can we... go over now?"
"Yeah, make sure she's not dead."
Even if she was dead, it wouldn't matter, but if she died at Chloe's hands, that would cause some trouble. Killing someone in front of everyone would not be good for her image.
Wendy was scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweat by the emotion in Damon's eyes. Did he just stand there and watch as Chloe whipped her over and over again?
And he didn't even let others help her? How cruel could this man be to her?
After the competition, people in the stands also came over to watch.
Some were checking on the girl's injuries, asking about the situation. Others were concerned about the horse Wendy rode.
"My God, will the wounds on this girl's back leave scars?"
"That's so cruel!"
"Come and see this horse, oh my God, there's not a single spot on its ass that's intact, it's all bloody and torn, there's not a single place that's complete."
"Let me see, let me see, ah! This is too cruel, it's all blood!"
"How could a woman do such a thing?"
"A woman's heart is truly terrifying!"
Hearing the people around her talking, Wendy was shivering all over, and closed her eyes.
The girl grinned, "I know you, I've seen you on TV. It's nice to meet you."
Chloe wasn't surprised, she had indeed been... very noticeable lately.
She had made a name for herself, it was just the circles she appeared in were different, so the attention she received was naturally limited. But even so, there was still no word from her mother. If she saw her on the news once in a while, she would have recognized her as well. Why was there still no news of her now?
The man not far away walked over, his face so gloomy it was terrifying.
"Is this the result you asked me to wait patiently for?"
His voice was so cold it was scary, which made the girl hide behind her. This man looked really scary right now.
Chloe's lips tightened, she knew she was in the wrong, and said quietly:
"I'm sorry."
Damon's gaze landed on her shoulder. The angle of the whip on her shoulder was irregular, causing her riding suit to tear open, revealing the red swollen wound on her shoulder, the torn edge of her clothes also stained red.
Damon's expression grew colder, he was both angry and furious, but didn't know how to handle it.
"I really am sorry, I really didn't expect Wendy to do something like this."
Damon's expression softened slightly, then became heavy again.
Seeing Damon's attention diverted, Chloe tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "She's your childhood friend and an avid pursuer of yours, I should be the one feeling wronged..."
