I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 562 - 560: Horse Duel (Part 1)
"Oh!" Ria Chapman’s lips curled up, "I can’t tell, you have guts, huh? Don’t cry later!"
Beside her, a few rich kids laughed giddily.
Vera Wave patted Bailey’s beautiful mane, but said nothing.
It had been a long time since she last rode a horse, and today was the first time she rode Bailey after many years. She wasn’t sure if they still had the rapport from back then.
It was just her deep-seated pride that wouldn’t let her easily lose.
Seeing her silent, Ria Chapman became even more arrogant.
"Since it’s a competition, there should be some stakes to make it interesting, right, everyone?"
"That’s right!"
"Yeah!"
...
A few of her companions quickly chimed in.
In the distance, Tommy Taylor and the Manager were sitting on chairs chatting. Hearing the commotion, they saw the situation wasn’t good and hurriedly got up and ran over.
"Make way, everyone!"
The Manager pulled the horses aside, and with Tommy Taylor, squeezed into the crowd.
Upon seeing Vera Wave surrounded by people, Tommy Taylor immediately squeezed over, shielding her by his side.
"Miss Chu, what are you trying to do?"
"Nothing, really," Ria Chapman recognized him but didn’t hold back. He was just an Assistant, why would she care? "It’s no fun for Vera to play alone, can’t we accompany her for a game?"
"Miss Chu!" The Manager noticed their ill-intentions and quickly walked over, smiling, "Let’s have fun peacefully, so we don’t spoil the harmony. I’ll have the staff bring you a big fruit platter, how about that?"
"Tch, who needs your fruit platter!"
"You think a fruit platter can shoo us off, like beggars?"
...
The spoiled brats, each more sharp-tongued than the last.
The Manager dared not lose face, still smiling, with some helplessness looking at Tommy Taylor.
Tommy Taylor tried to pull Vera Wave’s reins to lead her out of the horse mob.
Seeing this, Ria Chapman had no reason to stop them but continued to mock from the side.
"I thought you really had guts. Turns out, you’re just a cowardly turtle. No wonder your dad committed suicide... Indeed, the Wave Clan is full of cowards!"
"Ha!"
...
All around, people burst into ear-piercing laughter.
Vera Wave’s fingers gripping the reins tightened suddenly, and from exerting too much force, her fingers appeared a bit pale.
"Whoa!" She jerked the reins, turned to look at Ria Chapman, "You say... how do we compete?"
"Miss Wave!" Tommy Taylor anxiously spoke from the side.
The Manager’s face changed as well, hurrying over to persuade, "Miss Wave, this is too dangerous, let’s not compete!"
Ria Chapman and her group were regulars here, the Manager naturally knew their backgrounds. While he didn’t like her personality, her equestrian skills were undeniable, indeed not something an ordinary person could compare to.
They were all major clients of the company, and the Manager dared not offend any of them, let alone allow them to compete.
None were ordinary people, and if something did happen, he wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.
"Yes, the President will be here soon, shall we go greet him first?"
Tommy Taylor suggested as he tried to lead her horse forward.
"Let go!"
Vera Wave shouted lowly.
"Miss?!"
"Let go!"
Tommy Taylor looked at her serious young face on horseback, saw her determination, and reluctantly released the reins.
Taking a deep breath, Vera Wave turned to face Ria Chapman.
"No matter what you bet, I’ll go along with it till the end."
