I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 564 - 562: Horse Duel (Part 3)
"How about we go for a meal first and then come back?"
"A meal certainly won’t be enough; I think we should soak in a hot spring before we come back?"
"In my opinion, it’s better if we come back tomorrow. As expected from the Turtle Family, this speed is truly impressive!"
...
Everyone laughed loudly while mocking from the sidelines.
Manager Xu and Tommy Taylor had previously thought, seeing Vera Wave proactively asking for a race, that she must be extraordinary at riding. Now watching her proceed leisurely, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing that hint of surprise in each other’s eyes.
Not far away, Irene Spencer had already dismounted and was seated under a sunshade, taking a drink handed to her by her assistant, and took a sip.
"Sister Randy, who do you think will win?" the assistant asked quietly.
Irene Spencer smiled faintly, "Does it have anything to do with me?"
The assistant was stunned, then fell silent, not daring to speak again.
Lazily sipping her drink, Irene Spencer squinted her eyes, watching from afar Vera Wave riding her horse, slowly climbing the low slope, with a cold smile playing on her lips.
Smoothly going up the small slope, Vera Wave pulled Snowball to a stop, glanced around at the scene inside the paddock, and gently tugged on the reins.
"Giddy up!"
Snowball immediately loosened its hooves and charged down the slope.
After a short familiarizing stint, the person and horse quickly found their old harmony. However, because they were separated by a grassy slope, no one saw the speed at which she charged down.
Sprinting down the grassy slope, Vera Wave reined in the horse at the base, bent over, hugged Snowball’s neck, and patted its fur.
"Buddy, your speed is indeed faster than before. Come on... let’s go beat that brat and make her concede graciously!"
Turning the reins, she gently squeezed the horse’s sides, and Snowball swiftly got up and galloped up the grassy slope again, then slowly down the slope back to the crowd.
"Ah..." Ria Chapman yawned, "If we don’t start soon, I’m going to fall asleep!"
Vera Wave ignored her sarcasm, merely guiding Snowball to line up next to her.
At this moment, one of Ria Chapman’s companions leaped off their horse and jogged over to take the hat from a staff member’s head, hanging it on the fence.
"Whoever returns first and grabs this hat wins!"
"Miss Belle!" Tommy Taylor jogged over, pulling on Vera Wave’s reins, "I just called the gentleman, and he said he’s on his way. Do you want to wait for him before racing?"
His meaning was clear: if she could think of a way to delay a little longer until Kris Cooper arrived, even if she didn’t race, Ria Chapman wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
"No need!" Vera Wave straightened her back on the horse, "Manager Xu, let’s start!"
Manager Xu glanced at Tommy Taylor, then walked to the front of the two.
"Both of you, please remember to be safe."
"Got it, you’re annoying, hurry up!" Ria Chapman urged.
"Alright... both of you get ready! Three, two, one!" Manager Xu raised his right hand, then swung it down, "Start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ria Chapman fiercely kicked her horse and charged forward first.
"Giddy up!"
Vera Wave also flicked the reins, and Snowball immediately bolted out. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Both horses, like two gusts of wind, swept past Manager Xu and galloped forward.
Tommy Taylor turned around, frowning as he watched their figures, while Manager Xu also hurriedly turned and looked toward the direction they headed, waving to the staff on the side. Two equestrian coaches immediately urged their horses forward, pursuing to prevent any accidents.
