Keiraâs offhand remark made Lewis frown and blurt
out involuntarily, âNo way!â
Ellis hadnât expected Keira to agree. All he wanted was
to humiliate her with a few words and use her to mock
Lewis, to thoroughly slap their faces in public.
So when Keira agreed, he was momentarily stunned.
Then, hearing Lewisâs words, he immediately laughed. âWhy not, Lewis? Could it be that you donât have confidence in your own wife? Itâs just horse racing,
isnât it?â
Lewisâs sharp gaze instantly turned toward Ellis, and he said angrily, âDonât you know the dangers for a novice in horse racing?â
Ellis pursed his lips. Although he had a nasty temperament, he hadnât actually wanted to cause a fatal accident, so he quickly retorted, âTsk, if you canât handle it, then donât participate! She wants to join in everything without the ability, but she should just stay home and be a trophy wife. Donât come out and disgust us!â
The group of rich heirs behind him immediately echoed one after another:
âExactly, Mr. Horton. You treat an illegitimate daughter
like a treasure. If sheâs so precious, she shouldnât be brought out to embarrass herself!â
âOf all people, Lewis Horton is infatuated with a
woman, to the point of being blinded, who would have thoughtâ¦â
âHey, illegitimate daughter, if I were you, Iâd just be his canary and not leave home to embarrass him!â
Amidst the mockery of the crowd, Isla and Jake exchanged glances, excitement gleaming in their eyes.
This time, Keira had made a huge fool of herself!
Once back home, Nathan would certainly seize this point to push for their divorce again.
How could the Horton family have such a disgraceful hostess?!
Isla took the opportunity to speak. âMr. Olsen, please be reasonable. My aunt has never seen such a sceneâ¦â
Ellis snickered. âItâs so disappointing to have something that canât even make a public appearance!â
After saying that, his gaze turned back to the racetrack, and upon spotting Chasing Wind, his eyes immediately lit up. He then said to Lewis, âIâve long heard thereâs a horse in Oceanion named Chasing Wind, and seeing it today, it truly is outstanding.
Lewis, a hero deserves a splendid horse. With you, the horse is just a tool to amuse a beauty. How about this, since your wife dares not race with me, why donât you sell the horse to me? Name your price!â
Ellis had long been drooling over Chasing Wind.
Fine horses were hard to come by, especially one with a wild temper that only obeyed its master. It was a genuine treasure for any horse enthusiast.
Seeing Chasing Wind leisurely strolling in the racetrack with Lewis had nearly infuriated him.
In his view, a horse like Chasing Wind deserved
respect!
Lewis replied coldly, âNot for sale.â
Ellis pressed on, âYet you let this illegitimate daughter
to anail it? When we were in school hour did I not realize you had become so lovesick?â
He frowned. âMoreover, I heard that when Chasing Wind was sent to Oceanion, no one could tame it; it nearly starved to death alive! It was Oceanionâs most skilled horse trainer who subdued it in the end. Are you really honoring the trainerâs efforts by doing this?â
Someone behind him asked, âWhich horse trainer?â
Ellis explained, âIn recent years, a horse trainer appeared in Oceanion. Rumor has it sheâs a woman who can tame any horse. Many untamable wild horses would rather die of starvation than submit, but this
trainer really understands them. The horses she has tamed still retain their wild nature; sheâs quite
remarkable!â
âA woman? Taming horses? Is that true?â
Ellis snickered, âOf course, itâs true. Chasing Wind was tamed by that person. Just look at its condition nowâ¦â
Leaving behind those words, he was so transfixed that he entered the horse ring and walked up to Chasing
Wind.
His passion for horses had reached an obsessive level, and he exclaimed in astonishment âLook at that shinv
coat and all those muscles. Itâs just standing there, yet I can imagine how the muscle lines would flow when itâs running at full speed⦠Do you know what the most incredible thing about that horse trainer is? The wild horses she tames hardly ever get hurtâ¦â
Ellis said, âI really want to meet her!â
Jake said hastily, âThen, Mr. Olsen, stay a few more days. Iâll invite her over, so you two can meet.â
Ellis immediately scoffed. âClance is so far from Oceanion; Iâm staying a few days for sure. But you donât need to call anyone. If I get any news of that horse trainer, Iâll personally pay her a visitâ¦â
Someone beside them laughed. âMr. Olsen, itâs just a horse trainer. Is it worth it?â
Ellis lifted his chin right away. âHow is it not worth it? So many strong men canât tame that valuable horse, yet she can. Sheâs truly a heroine among women!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After saying that, he deliberately looked toward Keira. âUnlike some people who have never ridden a horse. She still needs someone to hold the reins when riding a horse. How pretentious!â
Keira the horse trainer herself was just called
pretentiousâ¦
She figured it out.
Ellis wasnât displeased with her identity; he disliked her as a person.
Thinking about it carefully, she knew what was going on. It must be because of something Isla had saidâ¦
While she was pondering, Lewis had already stepped forward. âEllis, if you have the guts, race me on horseback. What kind of man constantly targets
women?!â
Ellis chuckled. âI wouldnât compete with you. I couldnât beat you abroad, so Iâm not stupid enough to humiliate myself here.â
After saying that, he approached Chasing Wind, subconsciously wanting to pat its head.
But he didnât expect that in the next moment, Chasing Wind suddenly lifted its front hoof, let out a neigh, and aimed a kick at Ellisâs groin!
Ellis was terrified and immediately took two steps back, stabilizing himself just in time.
The others didnât believe this was happening, and one
muscular man shouted, âHey, is this horse that wild? Iâll give it a try!â
He grabbed the reins and mounted the horse.
He was Ellisâs exclusive riding coach, usually the best at taming horses, but Chasing Wind was different from ordinary wild horses. As soon as the man mounted, it immediately started bucking in place.
Not even two minutes had passed before it threw him off!
âWhat a fiery horse,â praised the coach.
The people around them immediately gathered to watch the horse.
After throwing off the rider, Chasing Wind instantly raised its head and spun in place. It was an arrogant pose.
Others wanted to step forward and try, but the coach stopped them. âThis horse isnât to be trifled with. I just provoked it, and now itâs in a state of agitation. It could be dangerous to approach.â
Everyone immediately started to back away.
Keira was enjoying the commotion; just as she was about to take a step back, a sudden force from behind pushed her forward, sending her straight in front of Chasing Wind!
