Chapter 86:
Rosie, unable to stand the sight of them being so close, walked over and wedged herself between them, forcefully separating them. Pouting, she turned to Ethan and said, “Ethan, how could you hold her like that p>
Ethan flung her an icy stare. “Who gave you permission to ride my horse?” he asked sharply.
A tense silence fell over the stable. The manager, standing off to the side, paled. Only now, after witnessing the outcome of the race, did he realize the truth—Ethan had intended for Brenna, the first-place winner of this round, to ride his horse, not Rosie.
He had completely misunderstood the instructions earlier. And now, he feared for his job. Seeing Rosie clinging to Ethan, the stable manager took his chance to plead his case with Brenna.
“Miss Harper, I sincerely apologize. Mr. Mitchell originally meant for you to ride his horse. I misunderstood him and assumed he was referring to Miss Rosie Harper. Thankfully, no harm was done—otherwise, I’d be in serious trouble. Mr. Mitchell wouldn’t have let me off so easily p>
Brenna barely reacted. She had little interest in Rosie’s childish theatrics, let alone the misunderstanding over a horse.
Her relationship with Ethan was simple—Ethan hired her to treat his grandfather. As for the horse, that was a separate issue between her and Rosie.
“It doesn’t matter,” Brenna said with a shrug. “I can win on any horse p>

His voice was challenging. “I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Today, I’ll defeat you and erase my disgrace once and for all p>
Brenna scowled, her dislike unmistakable. She had no fondness for Alex. He had already proven himself arrogant and disrespectful earlier. Since he wanted to compete with her now, she believed this was a perfect chance to teach him a lesson.
She said, “That depends on whether you’ve actually improved over the years p>
Alex was confident, smirking. “I’ve been training non-stop. This time, I will win p>
Isabella’s stomach twisted with irritation as she stood in the stands. From her vantage point, she had watched Jordy throw himself over another woman in a dramatic rescue. Sylvie was not only more attractive than her but also came from a far more prestigious family. Worse, she had riding skills that put her to shame. A creeping fear settled over her—what if Jordy turned his affections toward Sylvie now? If that happened, she would lose everything.
She picked up her pace, her heart hammering as she ran toward Jordy and Sylvie. The moment of danger had long passed, yet the two remained locked in an embrace, with Jordy hovering over Sylvie in an intimate position.
