“What?” The group turned to look in the direction of the voice.They saw a group of young men andwomen. The group strolled into thestable leisurely.
A woman led the group. She wore a ck vest and ck riding boots.She was beautiful and had a slender figure. But she looked arrogant, giving off a high and mighty vibe.As they entered the stable, she held a ck horse by the reins. It had a shiny coat and was magnificent.
“Roxanne?” She frowned at the sight of the woman.Roxanne Murray was her cousin, and she always liked to challenge She.Roxanne had be more daring after Caden stepped down as head of the family.
Roxanne would look for trouble every day, annoying She very much. “She, I can’t stopughing when Iheard you brag about Gale. He neverloses?” Roxanne mocked.
She did not hold back and continued to poke fun at She. “Come on, you only won in previous years because everyone lets you.“Did you think you’re that good? Don’t be ridiculous!”
Upon hearing her words, She’s expression darkened. It was obvious that she was annoyed.“You’re spouting nonsense!” She snapped.
“Hmph! If you don’t believe it, let’s race then! We’ll see if Gale or Midnight Shadow is better,” Roxanne taunted.Back then, everyone favored She.
After all. her father was the head of the Murray family. So, everyone treated She with respect.But things were different now.
Roxanne’s father was the new head of the family. So she could do whatever she wanted.She lifted her head and answered confidently, “Bring it on! Do you think I’m scared of you?”
She had been practicing horseback riding since she was young. With Gale by her side, She was not afraid of a challenge.
“Great!” Roxanne’s eyes lit up at that.
“But simply winning a race isn’t satisfying. Let’s have a little bet?”
“What are we betting on?” She countered.Roxanne grinned slyly. “It’s simple. Let’s bet our prized horses. Whoever loses has to give up their horse.”
“Our horses?” She was hesitant upon hearing that.If they were betting money or valuables, she would agree in a heartbeat. But Gale was her beloved horse. She needed to think about it.
After all, she had spent six years with Gale. He was already a friend to her. So, of course, she was reluctant to part with Gale.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Roxanne provoked.“If you’re afraid, then stop bragging! Otherwise, you’re just embarrassing yourself!”
“You-!” She was furious.
She gritted her teeth. “Fine! Let’s do it! I refuse to believe that I’ll lose to you!”“It’s a deal! I hope you won’t regret it!’ Roxanne sneered.“What’s all themotion about?”
Right then, three more people walked into the stable. It was a man with two women.The man had a distinguished appearance. He was tall and had amanding aura. He also resembled Roxanne.
The two women with him had stunning looks and a beautiful figure.“What?” Dustin raised his brows in surprise when he saw the trio.
That was because the two women were none other than Dahlia and Elena.As Dustin’s gaze swept over them, Dahlia’s eyes happened to meet his.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
They made direct eye contact, but neither of them spoke. Dahlia frowned as she looked at him weirdly. She did not expect to bumpinto this insurance agent again.
Elena stood next to her but did not notice Dustin’s presence. Her gaze was fixed on the white horse, Gale. She looked interested in it.
As a horse enthusiast, Elena was captivated by such a valuable and majestic horse.“Jayden, you’re here!” At the sight of Jayden, Roxanne smiled.
“She and I just made a bet on a horse race. We betted our respective prized horses. What do you think?”“Oh, a horse race?” Jayden’s eyes shone with delight.“Since you’re both so excited about it, I’ll be the judge.”
“Sure!” Roxanne agreed without hesitation, Jayden turned to look at She andasked, “What do you think, She?”
“You’ve always been fair, Jayden. So it’snot a problem.” She nodded.“Great! You both get ready then,” Jayden smiled.
“Remember, friendshipes first.Thepetition is secondary. Let’s not ruin our rtionship, okay?”
