Zoe's eyeballs could pop out of her head.
Bethany snickered and teased, âOh, your mouth is jinxed.â âHmph! Thereâs no point in stopping her since she wants to play the
hero.
| hope she falls.â Zoe gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes dangerously at Bellaâs confident face.
âCan you do it, Bella?â Wyatt was worried and doubtful.
âYou know better if | can do it, Dad.â Bella winked at her father cheekily.
Wyatt, Celeste, and Asher exchanged looks.
They knew that Bella could ride.
However, riding and racing were two different things.
âMs. Thompson, horse racing isnât childâs play.
The race concerns a commercial deal and the honor between our four families.
Logan sized the insolent girl up.
âIt's fine to back down from the competition.
Chairman Thompson will be heartbroken if you fall or if anything happens to you.â In other words, Bella would be making a fool
out of herself.
They all believed Bella would embarrass herself.
âYeah, Ms. Thompson.
Do you see any women competing? | donât think you should participate.â Since Logan had spoken, Zoe joined in the taunting.
âWe know that you are competitive, but know your limits.â âMs. Hoffman, do you think horse riding isnât a sport for women, or do
you believe women are inferior to men?â Bella looked indifferently at Zoe and smirked.
âAs far as | know, your grandmother was a well-known equestrian in her time.
Your grandmother represented our country in international competition and brought home the trophy when equestrian wasnât
popular in our nation.
Are you saying that your grandmother's behavior was inappropriate? You can show me contempt, but are you giving your family
the same attitude?â âYou!â Zoe flushed embarrassedly.
She just shot herself in the foot.
Logan glanced at his reckless granddaughter and shook his head with a frown.
âUm... Ryan.â Carrie drooped her shoulders.
Her fingers gripped Ryanâs hand as she asked shyly, âBella must have gotten on Zoeâs nerves again.
|-Isnât she scared?â âScared? Why should Bella be scared of Zoe? Justin yields to Bella willingly.
