Chapter 181

Upon hearing this, the spectators in the grandstand were taken aback.

They gave Domenic an odd, sympathetic glance.

Jacob had bet two million dollars on Lindsey losing, yet Domenic was still willing to bet on her winning.

What was the difference between that and throwing money away?

Jacob laughed harder and wrapped his arm around Shelia, exclaiming, “Did you catch that? This guy probably has no more than ten thousand dollars, and he’s betting on Lindsey to win.

Unbelievable.

Can you imagine how he’d react if he lost that ten thousand dollars?”

Shelia nestled against Jacob, grinning.

“Ten thousand might be nothing to us, but it’s a big deal for this kept man.

He might even… cry over it.

”

Upon hearing Shelia’s words, everyone turned to Domenic with a disdainful gaze.

“Looks like he’s just a kept man after all.

”

“How did a guy like him even get into the club?”

“If he loses, it’ll be a lesson for him that this place isn’t for everyone to stroll in and have fun.

Because he can’t afford to lose at all.

”

Domenic paid them no mind.

He remained composed and used his phone to transfer ten thousand dollars for the bet, not bothering with his black card.

Lindsey stood backstage, waiting for her turn in the game, unaware of what had transpired in the grandstand.

She had no clue that the crowd wasn’t very hopeful about her, except for Domenic, who had bet on her victory.

The horse, named Snowball, had formed a strong bond with her during their training sessions in recent days.

However, right before the competition, Snowball unexpectedly collapsed to the ground, its front legs buckling, and began foaming at the mouth.

“Snowball! Snowball, are you okay?” Lindsey knelt beside Snowball, her heart pounding with worry, and urgently called one of the staff members.

“Get the vet here.

There’s something wrong with my horse.

”

Currently, a staff member brought a black horse to Lindsey’s side.

“Miss, your horse is unwell and won’t recover quickly.

It’s time for your competition.

I’ve arranged another horse for you.

”

“But…”

Lindsey had been putting in her training hours with Snowball lately.

However, now she had to switch to a horse she wasn’t acquainted with.

The risk of making errors in the competition due to their unfamiliarity was high.

However, Lindsey had been gearing up for today’s event for nearly a month.

She wasn’t about to back down easily.

“Miss, there’s a rule in the game that if you don’t enter the course on time, it will be counted as a forfeit.

Are you sure about your decision?

The staff’s words came across as stern and decisive, leaving Lindsey with no room for hesitation.

She certainly wasn’t going to quit.
