All eyes fell on Wyatt.
âWhat's the matter?â Wyatt asked solemnly.
âOur jockey was trampled by an out-of-control horse while taking the horse for a stroll.â The Thompsons exchanged glances in
shock.
âWhat?â With widened eyes, Wyatt asked anxiously, âHow is he now? Is he alright?â Wyatt was a capitalist, but he was kind to his
people.
The race was the least of his concerns, as the jockeyâs safety took precedence.
Quentin wiped away his sweat.
âHeâs alright, but heâs bruised, and he has a broken arm.
| had him delivered to the emergency room, but< heâs in no shape to compete.â âAll that matters is that heâs safe.â Wyatt sighed
in relief.
âWhose horse injured him? The owner of the horse should take responsibility,â Celeste urged.
âDon't worry, Celeste.
Our jockey won't suffer for nothing.
I'll make sure the owner takes full responsibility.â The Thompsons were in a difficult position.
Without a jockey, the family had to drop out of the competition and hand over the opportunity.
Tensing his jawline, Wyatt was reluctant to give up.
âChairman Thompson, itâs such a shame that your horse canât participate in the race.â Gregory expressed lament, but his lips
curled.
âBut there is always next time.
You can try again next year.â Wyatt grimaced harder.
âJustin took advantage of my daughter, Bella, and now Gregory thinks he can one-up me? Well, not on his watch!â The lversons
and Hoffmans were relieved because they had one less opponent to compete with.
âA shame? You spoke too soon, Chairman Salvador.â Bella drew close with composure, her voice reflecting determination.
Our family is committed to success.
We never let ourselves down.â Gregory froze, feeling tightness in his chest.
Bella's words broke the tension in the air.
Justin narrowed his eyes tenderly at his woman.
He looked forward to the surprise she would bring.
âTsk! The bitch is at it again,â Bethany hissed through clenched teeth.
âHmph! She's just trying to get some
attention because her family is out of
the running.â Zoe t irleg\percurts! \!
and eneeted fH] can fight for time,
but where is she going to find help
when the race is about to begin? If
sheâs any good, she could ride the
horse herself.
Hahaha!â As Zoe snickered, Bella
said, unfazed âDag Slcnebresehe RS
Arup. âthe group was shocked.
What did that mean? Was Bella
volunteering herself to-bexthe jookey?
Justin yaped ts Balia's back, and his
breath hitched.
