Chapter 186

Domenic nestled his head into the curve of Lindsey’s neck, gripping the back of her head as if she would vanish the moment he let go.

Lindsey, soft and flexible, found herself tightly embraced, struggling slightly for air.

“Mr.

Walsh, are you alright? Your embrace is too tight.

I’m finding it hard to breathe.

”

Only then did Domenic relax his hold.

He gently pressed her shoulders, positioning her in front of him.

“Next time, don’t do such a dangerous thing again.

What if something happens to you? Maybe I shouldn’t have taught you how to ride a horse.

”

Domenic couldn’t help but blame himself.

He had the power to bring Andrew to Lindsey’s attention whenever he wanted.

However, he chose not to reveal his identity, wanting to test Lindsey’s capabilities and hoping to uncover the truth about Selah’s disappearance through her efforts.

So, Domenic remained a bystander.

However, after today’s events, he came to realize that nothing was more important than ensuring Lindsey’s safety and well-being.

Unaware of Domenic’s turmoil, Lindsey looked at him with her bright eyes and reassured him, “Mr.

Walsh, just now, I remembered the technique you showed me, and that’s how I managed to control the horse.

I’m safe and sound because of you.

”

Domenic offered a helpless smile.

Could she grasp the danger she was in moments ago? If she had fallen, the outcome could have been disastrous.

Domenic clasped Lindsey’s delicate fingers firmly, cherishing her as if she were a precious find

he had once lost.

At that moment, Shelia and Jacob approached from behind.

Shelia looked at Lindsey with disdain.

“Don’t get too carried away.

You just got lucky.

”

Jacob, noticing Frank, wrapped an arm around Frank’s shoulders, greeting him, “Mr.

Hudson, it’s been a while.

”

Frank greeted Jacob with a forced smile, saying, “Hello, Mr.

Perry.

”

He then glanced at Shelia next to Jacob.

He shrugged off Jacob’s arm and made his way towards Lindsey and Domenic.

Frank greeted them with a polite smile and said, “Just a moment, please.

I have something urgent to attend to.

”

Lindsey reassured him, “There’s no rush.

Go ahead and take care of your business.

”

Frank nodded and as he turned, his expression turned grave and stern.

“Mr.

Perry, we went to the waiting area and just discovered that Lindsey’s horse was intentionally swapped out right before her competition.

Upon investigation, we found that the woman next to you is the one who ordered the switch.

”

Jacob’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to Shelia.

Lindsey’s expression darkened.

So, it was Shelia who had meddled with her horse, intentionally complicating things for her.

Shelia, her face white with shock, protested in a sharp voice, “That’s ridiculous! Mr.

Perry and I have been in the grandstand the entire time.

I haven’t been anywhere else.

How could I switch her horse?”
