Chapter 182

She had no option but to steel herself and muster her spirits.

Determinedly, she accepted the black horse from the staff.

It was time for the competition.

Lindsey mounted the horse, tightened her grip on the reins, and confidently entered the course, where all eyes were fixed on her.

The brilliant sunlight bathed Lindsey’s shoulders as she rode into the course, and her view cleared up.

With her bowler hat perched on her head, her stylish tuxedo fluttering in the breeze, and her white breeches neatly tucked into tall riding boots, she had an air of royalty and bravery about her.

Her makeup was subtle, enhancing her natural beauty.

Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, and her red lips stood out, complementing her graceful and refined posture.

Seated in the grandstand, Domenic couldn’t hide his frown.

Lindsey had been practicing with a white horse all along.

So, why was she now riding out on a black one?

Jacob couldn’t resist being captivated by the courageous and fierce girl before him.

Seeing Jacob’s continuous gaze on Lindsey, Shelia felt her anger bubble up, causing her to bite her lower lip in frustration.

Sheila inhaled deeply and shot a fierce glance at Lindsey, who was bursting with energy.

Sheila knew there’d be some entertaining amusement to witness soon.

Lindsey steered the black horse to the front of the first challenge and gently pulled the reins.

Without hesitation, the black horse effortlessly cleared the obstacle, and the crowd in the grandstand burst into applause.

Yet, as Lindsey sighed in relief, the black horse surprised everyone by lifting its front hooves skyward and dashing ahead with wild abandon as though it had completely lost its composure.

The audience was left breathless with amazement.

“Hold on, doesn’t that horse seem familiar? That horse appears to be…

Lightning!” A person in the crowd spotted the black horse and jumped up from his seat.

“Lightning? They say it’s the wildest horse in the club, and they call it that because of the lightning bolt-shaped mark on its forehead.

Rumor has it that nobody has managed to tame it yet.

”

“Once, there was a coach who doubted the tales.

He attempted to tame Lightning and got injured badly in a fall.

”

“Goodness gracious! It’s such a dangerous situation.

Why on earth did the club permit Lightning to compete?”

“Mr.

Perry, am I right? Lindsey’s surely going to lose today.

” Shelia stood with her arms crossed over her chest, wearing a_ proud expression.

Jacob was thrilled; it appeared that he was about to make a fortune today.

Jacob wrapped his arm around Shelia’s slender waist and ki*sed her heavily made-up cheek excitedly.

“You really are my lucky charm! If I win today, you’ll definitely be rewarded handsomely.

”

Wrapping her arms around Jacob’s neck, Shelia gave him her most charming smile.

“Trust me, Mr.

Perry!”

Afterward, she shot Domenic a disdainful glance and sneered, “What a waste.

I can’t believe he thinks actually Lindsey’s going to win.

I can’t wait to see the look on his face when she loses miserably!”
