All eyes were on Winston. He asked sternly, âWhatâs wrong?â
âOur equestrian was injured by another horse when he was on a stroll with Blaze.â
The Taylors exchanged shocked glances. Eyes widening, Winston gasped with concern, âWhat? Howâs he doing? Heâs safe, right?â
Winston might be a ruthless businessman, but he was exceptionally generous to his residence staff.
More than the competition, he was worried about the condition of the equestrian.
Neil wiped away his sweat. âHe suffered from multiple injuries and a broken elbow, but heâs overall fine.
Iâve arranged for him to be sent to the hospital. Anyway, he canât participate in the race anymore.â
Winston let out a long sigh. âGosh. Oh, well, Iâm glad heâs fine.â
Lyla softly reminded them, âWhose horse was responsible for that? The owner must be held accountable.â
âDonât worry, Madam Lyla. The Taylors will not be taken adva Iâve taken care of the matter. The owner will assume full responsibility.â
Putting aside the matter, the Taylors faced another huge probl Without an equestrian, they would have no choice but to exit the competition. Were they about to miss out on such a rare opportunity Winston clenched his jaw. He appeared dissatisfied and indignant.
Javier lamented with a faint grin, âMr. Taylor, itâs a pity that your horse is out of the race at this major event, but fret not. There will be another time. Try again next year. Donât feel too bad about it.â
Upon hearing that, Winstonâs expression hardened. He was already upset at the Becketts after what Jasper had inflicted on Alyssa, and he was even more irked by Javierâs taunting.
The Schmidts and the Harpers were visibly relieved after learning that they had one less competitor.
âIs it a pity? Mr. Javier, youâve gotten ahead of yourself,â Alyssa retorted excitedly.
She marched over and declared with confidence, âThe Taylors will never lose. Weâll have no regrets.
Javierâs expression froze. He sensed a weight on his chest. Her determination had changed the mood of the situation and introduced a new dynamic.
Jasper squinted and beamed warmly at his woman, anticipating the surprise she would bring.
âPfft. That bitch is showing off again!â Betty clenched her jaw indignantly.
Zoe toyed with her wavy curls and smirked. âWhatâs good about a Hailâ¹ Mary attempt? How is she going to solve this before the race? Maybe she should put her name forward. Haha!â
Her laughter was cut short by Alyssaâs proposal. Alyssa suggested, much to everyoneâs surprise, âDad, Iâll represent KS Group in the race.â
What did she mean? Was she qualified to participate as the substitute equestrian?
Jasper stared adoringly at her stunning figure, his breath growing ragged from the shock.
