So everyone tacitly understood and didn’t interrupt, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Lauryn glanced at Lennon and his gaze was too piercing. Lauryn felt a bit scared and stammered, “It’s just a misunderstanding. I thought Marie didn’t like me and intentionally made the horse go crazy to harm me. Later, I heard that there was a scar on the back of the horse’s neck, which was probably injured before it was led out. I accidentally pressed on the wound at that time, which caused the horse to go mad.” Lauryn glanced at Mariela, her eyes filled with sadness. “I’m sorry, Marie, I misunderstood you. I shouldn’t have maliciously doubted you. Can you forgive me?”
Mariela frowned at her, not saying anything.
Rayne reproachfully spoke, “Lauryn, how could you think of Mariela like that? How could she possibly harm you?”
Lennon’s father, who is also Lauryn’s stepfather, Royce Stark, was somewhat displeased.“Why didn’t you specifically enroll in a horse riding class if you wanted to learn how to ride? Not only did you not learn how to ride properly and ended up getting injured, but you also caused such a misunderstanding with your sister–in–law.”
As soon as Lauryn heard the words “sister–in–law,” a raging jealousy instantly surged in her heart.

Lauryn’s tears

Deandre and Haleigh also understood.
Deandre looked displeased, “Bella, Mr. Stark, Mariela would never do anything harmful, your child lied and accused Mariela, you should give an explanation, right?”
Haleigh also said, “Yes, Mariela is the apple of our family’s eye. Although the Logan family may not have the power and influence like your Stark family, our daughter is pure–hearted and kind, and would never do such despicable things.”
Hearing Deandre and Haleigh say this, Mariela was deeply moved.
Over the
years, she had a strained relationship with her family, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t love and care for her.
