I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 573 - 571: Now I Admit Defeat
Just now, this incident really touched her a lot, she was already petrified with fear.
It wasn’t until she arrived at the hospital and saw her parents that she came back to her senses from the shock. This time, she took the initiative to come and express her gratitude. "I... I don’t know what to say, anyway..." She raised her face and looked at Vera, "It was always my fault before, in the future, I... I’ll definitely be good to you."
The girl in front of her had bandages on her hands, and several cuts on her face, already lacking the arrogance when she targeted her before, her eyes full of embarrassment and regret.
"Actually, I... at first I was quite jealous of you, but now I’ve conceded, in the future... can we be friends?" Ria Chapman bit her lip.
After speaking, she cautiously watched Vera, waiting for her reaction.
Vera pursed her lips and started with a smile.
"Let’s get one thing straight, next time I won’t race horses with you!"
Hearing her voice, Ria Chapman’s face immediately brightened up.
"Racing again? Spare me, I want to live a few more days!"
The entire room burst into laughter, and even Kris Cooper’s expression eased a lot.
After all, he grew up together with Ria Chapman, and knows her temperament. She’s usually a bit arrogant and willful, but fundamentally not a malicious person.
"I told you, Vera isn’t as petty as you!" Mrs. Chapman laughed, patting her daughter’s shoulder, "This time, you’ve both spoken your minds. From now on, just be good friends. Learn properly from Vera, don’t always be mischievous, and stop hanging out with a bunch of delinquents making trouble for me every day!"
"Mom!" Ria Chapman glared at her, displeased, "Can you say a few words less?"
Saying this, her gaze shifted to Vera.
"Um... you’re... not seriously hurt, right?"
Vera shook her head, "Just scraped my hand, it’s fine."
Ria Chapman hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "Actually, I can’t quite figure it out, why... why did you save me? You... you should really hate me, right?"
Vera smiled, "We’re not at a life-or-death stage, right?"
"Of course not." Ria Chapman also smiled, the movement pulling at her wounds, making her wince with pain, "Actually, I... I just wanted to show off by winning against you, never thought your riding skills were so good. Who taught you?"
Turning her face, Vera gestured towards Kris Cooper.
Before going to the US, she learned horsemanship, but later stopped riding after falling once.
Later, she met Kris Cooper, who sensed her fondness, bought Bailey for her, and personally taught her riding skills. Vera’s riding skills were honed from then on.
"Brother Kris, can you also teach me?"
The Chapman family only has this one daughter, and their business inevitably will be inherited by Ria Chapman. This time, Vera successfully endeared herself to this little girl by risking herself for her, fostering a good relationship with the Chapman family to mutual benefit.
So, Kris Cooper went with the flow and spoke up.
"Just let your sister-in-law teach you, she surpasses the master herself."
The word ’sister-in-law’ carried significant meaning.
On one hand, it clearly established the relationship between him and Ria Chapman, and on the other, it also warned Ria Chapman to show respect to Vera.
Kris Cooper’s temper can be slightly volatile, but having been trained in the Shopping Mall for years, learning from his elders since childhood, he naturally understands interpersonal relationships.
