“What?”Everyone exchanged nces when they saw the ck needle, surprised.They had seen Dustin removing the needle from the horse’s head. There was even blood on it.


    So, someone purposely inserted it into Gale’s head.“Seriously? Could this guy be tellingthe truth?”Everyone turned to look at Jayden, waiting for an exnation.


    “Now that I’ve found the evidence, what else do you have to say?” asked Dustin.Then, he flicked the needle and sent it flying. Itnded near Jayden’s feet.“What do you mean? Are you suspecting me?” Jayden frowned.


    “I’ve no idea who did this. But I can swear that I haven’t done anything to harm She!”Dustin replied indifferently, “Yeah, keep up with the act.


    “Just moments ago, your sister admitted you were the only one who touched Gale. Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”


    “Yes, I did touch Gale. But that doesn’t mean I inserted this needle,” Jayden answered.“Perhaps someone had already inserted the needle before we arrived.”


    “That’s right! She has a lot of enemies, and they’re always targeting her,” Roxanne chimed in.“There have been frequent kidnappings and assassination attempts. I’m not surprised that someone would target Gale!”


    Dustin scoffed. “You guys sure can give a reason for everything.”Jayden’s expression turned serious, and he turned to Shelia. “She, you know me best. Do you think I’m the kind of person who would harm you?”


    “Of course not. Jayden has always been very nice to me. How could he harm me? This must be a misunderstanding, “She muttered while repeatedly shaking her head.


    Her cousin had always been gentle and kind. Jayden had never done anything bad. She did not think he was a bad person.


    Jayden said coldly, “Did you hear that? She and I are very close. Don’t try to stir things up between us.”“She, you should always keep your guard up,” Dustin reminded.


    He was not expecting to prove thatJayden was guilty with just a needle. However, Dustin hoped that She would stay alert.


    “She! This man has ill intentions! He’s trying to ruin our rtionship,” Jayden dered.“You’re better off without a friend like him!”


    After listening to their argument, She tried to smooth things over. Calm down, guys. It was just an ident. Let’s not let this incident ruin our friendship.”


    One was her cousin, while the other was her savior.She felt awkward as she was caught in between them.“Forget it. For She’s sake, I won’t hold it against you this time.


    “But one more word of nonsense from you, then I won’t hold back,” Jaydenthreatened.Dustin almost exposed him for pretending to care about She. Jayden could not help but feel frustrated.


    Suddenly, Vivian spoke up, “Wait a second. Since someone tampered with Gale, this race should be dered void. We can’t consider it as She had lost.”


    “That’s right! Under normal circumstances, Gale had a better chance of winning,” Evan and the others chimed in.Roxanne pursed her lips. “Hmph! There will always be unexpected events during a horserace.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “So, a loss is still a loss. What’s with all this nonsense?”“Let it go, Roxanne. We’re a family, after all. Our rtionship is more important. Return Gale to She.” Jayden spoke up as well.


    “Why should I?” Roxane asked with her head tilted.“She should honor her bet! I won Gale fair and square! Why should I return him to her?”


    She had been eyeing Gale for a long time. After all, it was a fine horse. After going to great lengths to obtain Gale, Roxanne was reluctant to return it.


    “Roxanne, be nice. Give Gale back to She. I’ll get you another fine horse in a couple of days,” Jayden tried to convince Roxanne.


    “I don’t want anything else but Gale!” Roxanne was stubborn.No matter what Jayden said, she refused to budge.“She, you’re a grown-up already. Are you going to back out on your asked Roxanne. words?”


    “I…” She was at a loss for words.
