Chapter 183
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Despite raising her voice deliberately so that Domenic could hear, he turned a deaf ear to her taunts and focused his attention solely on Lindsey.
On the racecourse, Lindsey was pulling the reins as hard as she could, but the black horse completely ignored her.
It turned around in circles and kept kicking its hind legs up like crazy, as though it was trying its best to throw Lindsey off its back!
It was clear that Lindsey wouldnât be able to hold on for much longer.
She was tossed around like a ragdoll, and there was nothing she could do but hold onto the reins and clamp her legs around the horseâs belly as tightly as she could.
But the black horse was too powerful.
Seeing that it couldnât throw her down, it changed tactics and started galloping towards the highest iron hurdle on the field.
In an attempt to get rid of Lindsey, the black horse planned to head straight into the hurdle!
âOh, my God! Thatâs the highest hurdle on the whole course! Not even the experts are able to jump it! If the black horse rams into it head-on, the contestant will be flung from its back and will be seriously injured!â
âBut the rules state that the competition canât stop until the contestant gives up!â
âWhy hasnât she called off the competition yet?! Does she really think sheâll make
it over that hurdle?!â Some exclaimed excitedly.
âSheâs crazy! Even the clubâs senior coach canât control Lightning, let alone a rookie equestrian!â
Restraining the urge to run straight to the racecourse, Domenic gripped the seat handles so tightly that blue veins popped out on the backs of his hands.
Domenic Walsh, a man known for keeping calm in even the most intense of situations, was now sweating buckets.
Lindsey mustâve had her own reasons for not calling off the competition.
He trusted her.
He had to.
Surely, her tough, unyielding spirit would put the crazy horse in its place!
Seeing that Domenic had broken into a sweat, Shelia smiled gloatingly.

âMaybe Lindsey will fall, and maybe sheâll break a few bones.
I really donât know why sheâs even here.
Sheâs no equestrian; sheâs just an opportunist! She just wanted to attract the attention of the rich, and now, sheâs going to reap the consequences of her reckless actions.
Iâm sure sheâs going to make a fool of herself!â
Seeing that the black horse was about to ram into the hurdle, Lindsey forced herself to calm down.
Time around seemed to have slowed down all around her.
Domenicâs words echoed in her ears.
âIf you want to tame a wild horse, you have to show it that youâre not afraid.
You have to let it know that youâre even more difficult to deal with than it.
Make it surrender to you in fear!â
In a moment of sudden clarity, Lindsey braced herself and stood up from the back of the horse!
Instead of using brute force, she listened to Domenicâs advice and pulled the reins skillfully.
Just as the black horse was about to hit the hurdle, she planted her feet firmly on the stirrups and pulled even harder, forcing the horseâs head back!
Everyone in the stands watched with bated breath.
Just when everyone thought that Lindsey would fall off the horse and break her neck, a miracle happened.
The black horse neighed and raised its front hooves high.
Then it leapt into the sky like a majestic beast, soaring over the tallest hurdle effortlessly!
ALL of a sudden, a hush fell over the stands.
Two seconds of stunned silence later, thunderous applause broke out.
