Seeing this made Harper fly into a fit of rage, so she kicked Jack off of the horse. Not wanting waste any time, she strode away at full speed. At that moment, she was afraid that if she stayed with Matthew for even a second longer, she wouldn't be able to stand him anymore. Moreover, she might need to teach him a lesson, leaving him crippled.
