Chapter 311

Chapter 311 “Okay.” Aikin waved his weapon around, about to walk away when Iris grabbed him again.

He turned to look at Iris, his tone showing a hint of impatience, “Do you have anything else to say?”

Iris said, “Astrid and I work for the same company and we have conflicts over resources, so I have reasons to oppose her. But you and her have no conflicts of interest, so why are you targeting her?”

“That’s my business. You don’t need to know.” Aikin shrugged off Iris’s grip and stride away.

Iris watched Astrid chatting and laughing with Gracie. A hint of viciousness flashed across her face.

She had been hustling in the entertainment industry for over a decade, but never had a chance to be the lead. This time she got the supporting role only because the previous actress stepped down due to a scandal.

1 Meanwhile, Astrid, who only did a small role in a web drama, got the lead role in a blockbuster. Even before the film was released, she landed the lead role in this film.

All this happened in just a few months! They’re in the same company. How could she swallow this?

This time, she vowed to completely ruin Astrid’s reputation.

A few minutes later, the contest began.

Aikin walked into the competition area only to find the prepared horse had been swapped for a fake one and thick padding was laid on the ground.

Seeing this, Aikin irritably said, “Gaines, what do you mean?? We agreed on a horseback competition, what’s the point with a fake horse?”

“Aikin, enough is enough. You’re a veteran. Horse riding and martial arts are no problem for you. But Astrid isn’t good at these, so you’re already bullying the weak. Do you really want her to fall off a real horse and get hurt?” Clearly, Gaines was pissed.

Knowing that Gaines was worried about her, Astrid stepped forward and said, “Gaines, thanks for your concern, but I want to compete with him on a real horse. I want a convincing defeat!!”

“Astrid.. Gaines was exasperated, “A real horse is unpredictable. I can’t bear to risk it.”

Chapter 4596 “Gaines, Aikin and I are volunteering for this competition. Even if something happens, it’s our issue. I have prepared a waiver, both Aikin and I will sign.” Astrid knew she wouldn’t lose, but she was worried that Aikin might blackmail the crew, hence the necessity for the waiver!

Aikin indeed had this plan, but Astrid signed the waiver in public first. He had nothing to say but to sign as well.

in public Unable to dissuade Astrid, Gaines had no choice but to bring in real horses.

He had medical staff on standby, just in case anything went wrong.

Aikin mounted the horse gracefully, causing a few girls to gasp in admiration.

Just when everyone thought Astrid would need help, she effortlessly got on the horse, her movements swift and sure, matching Aikin stride for stride, The onlookers were a bit dumbfounded. Can Astrid ride a horse?

Those who signed the bet including Iris started to feel nervous because Astrid’s horsemanship was obviously well–trained, even professional!

“Iris, what should we do? Astrid isn’t gonna win, is she?” Actress Andrea whispered.

Iris bit her lip nervously, “Absolutely not. Aikin is an expert. There’s no way he’d lose to a newbie like Astrid!”

Andrea: “But from the looks of it, Astrid certainly knows how to ride a horse!”
