“Er?”
Everyone turned their attention to the sound and spotted a group of young men and women strolling in leisurely.
Leading the way was a woman clad in a black waistcoat and black riding boots.
The lady possessed a fetching countenance and a slender form, yet her demeanor exuded a certain haughtiness, hinting at a sense of superiority.
As she entered, she held a glossy-maned black horse, presenting a majestic sight.
“Sheila Murray?”
Upon glimpsing the newcomer, Sheila Murray couldn’t help but knit her brows ever so slightly.
Sheila Murray was her cousin, and they were known for their constant clashes.
Especially after her father stepped down as the family head, the other party became even more audacious.
They were perpetually seeking trouble, which thoroughly irked her. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Sheila Murray, I had quite the chuckle hearing you boast about how Zhui Feng never met his match.”
Sheila Murray scoffed with no mercy, “You clinched championships in previous years because everyone yielded to you. Do you truly believe you’re all that formidable? It’s quite the joke!”
“You’re spouting nonsense!”
Sheila Murray’s countenance darkened a tad, clearly showing signs of irritation.
“Nonsense? Ha! If you’re not convinced, let’s settle it with a contest: see if your Wind Chaser outpaces my Black Dragon.” Sheila Murray provoked.
In days gone by, Sheila Murray was favoured, her father helming the Sheila Murray family, garnering her universal respect.
Now the tables had turned. Her father was at the helm, freeing her from any restraints.
“It’s a challenge, think I’m scared of you?!” Sheila Murray raised her chin.
She’d been honing her equestrian skills since childhood, and with Zhui Feng’s assistance, challenges didn’t faze her.
“Very well!”
Sheila Murray’s eyes sparkled, “But merely winning a horse race is hardly meaningful. Dare you up the stakes with me?”
“And how do you propose we bet?” Sheila Murray inquired.
“It’s quite simple. We’ll stake our respective BMWs. Whoever loses parts with their horse,” Sheila Murray curled her lip.
“Betting on horse races?” Hearing this, Sheila Murray couldn’t help but hesitate.
When it came to gambling with money and goods, she’d agree in a heartbeat. Yet, if it involved parting ways with her beloved horse, she’d need to weigh the options.
Zhui Feng had been her companion for six years, and she’d grown attached to him as a friend. Letting go was no easy feat.
“What’s the matter, scared?” Sheila Murray continued to provoke, “If you’re not up for it, spare yourself the future embarrassment of boasting!”
“You…”
Sheila Murray was so irate she ground her teeth, “Fine! We’ll bet! I won’t lose to you, mark my words!”
“Agreed! I hope you won’t rue this decision!” Sheila Murray sneered.
“What’s all the excitement about?”
At that moment, three more individuals entered the stable.
One man and two women.
The man was dashing, tall, and bore a striking resemblance to Sheila Murray.
The two women, on the other hand, were even more strikingly beautiful, one outshining the other.
Whether in looks, physique, or bearing, they all exuded excellence.
“Er?”
Upon seeing the newcomers, Dustin couldn’t help but raise an intrigued brow.
He’d noticed that the two women who had just entered were Dhalia and Feng Miaozhu!
As Dustin’s gaze swept over, Dhalia’s eyes happened to meet his.
Their gazes locked, but neither uttered a word.
Dhalia’s brow furrowed slightly, a peculiar expression crossing her face. She hadn’t anticipated crossing paths with an insurance salesman several times by chance.
Feng Miaozhu, standing beside her, evidently hadn’t registered Dustin’s presence, her attention wholly fixated on the white horse, Wind Chaser, a look of great longing in her eyes.
“Brother, you’re here?”
Having spotted the man, Sheila Murray offered a slight smile, “Just now, I wagered a horse race with Sheila Murray. The stakes are our respective cherished horses. What do you think?”
“Oh? Horse racing?” Murong Gaochao’s eyes gleamed, and he spoke with a grin, “Since you’re so keen, I’ll act as your judge.”
“Very well!” Sheila Murray agreed.
“Dustin, what’s your take?” Murong Gaochao inquired once more.
“Brother Gao Chao has always been impartial, of course, no objections from me.” Dustin nodded.
“Alright, prepare yourselves, folks.”
Murong Gaochao smiled, “Friendship first, competition second, let’s not let this mar the harmony.”
