76 Invitation To the Exhibition Match
Compared to Caroline, who was famous but not favored, or Kelly, who was favored but not famous, Fiona was undoubtedly the true pride of god.
Just like everyone else, she sized up Caroline the moment she arrived. However, she hid her surprise very well. If not for Caroline’s sharp senses, she would not have noticed the surprise that flashed across her eyes.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Fiona Porter.” With her usual reserved look, she said, “As the president of the Equestrian Association, I would like to invite you to be our guest and participate in the horse riding exhibition that will be held tomorrow.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a lackey behind her came forward and handed her an exquisitely designed invitation card covered in high-quality perfume.
As one of the top elite schools, Alexandria College naturally had all kinds of interesting group activities. First, it was to cultivate students’ multi-faceted skills, and second, it was to create a social circle in advance. The Equestrian Association was one of them, and it was quite a good one, thanks to Fiona’s presence.
As for the original owner of the body, because she had been shrouded in the shadow of bullying and domestic violence for many years, she had developed a character of avoidance. She wished that everyone could not see her, so she did not participate in these associations at all.
Caroline glanced at Fiona and then at the invitation, but she did not take it. “I remember that non-members of the Equestrian Association are not allowed to participate in the exhibition competition.”
“In principle, that is true.” Fiona was not afraid of this, but as the president of the Equestrian Association, she still had a little privilege. “Of course, if you’re afraid and unwilling to attend, I won’t force you to accept this invitation.”
She sounded like she was respecting her opinion, but she did not give her a way out at all. If Caroline did not dare to accept the invitation, rumors of her being timid and incompetent would probably spread in the next second.
Even though Caroline didn’t care much about these rumors, these people were all here for her identity as the future lady of the Anderson family. So, even if it was to thank Edwin for supporting her, she had to help him maintain his reputation.
Thus, Caroline accepted the invitation. “Since you’re so sincere in inviting me, if I reject it, I’ll seem like I don’t know what’s good for me.”
Caroline’s action caused a commotion in the crowd. They did not expect Caroline to accept the challenge. This was especially so for her classmates who had been promoted directly like her. They could not understand Caroline’s behavior.
Could it be that she had already forgotten that during the horse riding class three years ago, she had been thrown off the horse because she could not control it, and had almost died under its hooves? Ever since then, Caroline had been absent from all the riding lessons.
Caroline, who had sharp ears and eyes, naturally heard their discussion and knew that the original body had experienced such a thing. She found it a little funny, but she also felt a little sad.
As the precious daughter of old Mr. Lambert, how could the original not know how to ride a horse? When she was five or six years old, her grandfather had personally carried her onto a horse to learn horsemanship. On her eighth birthday, old Mr. Lambert had even specially purchased a purebred Ferghana horse for her as a birthday present.
However, the horse was later taken by Kelly and she was never able to touch it again. As for the incident at the horse riding class, it was all thanks to Kelly.
As she had been practicing horse riding since she was a child, the original Caroline was quite good at it. Therefore, when she was praised by the teacher in horse riding class, it made Kelly jealous. She secretly bribed the horse deputy and gave the horses assigned to the original body medicine in advance. This caused the horses to go berserk in public and left the original body behind.
After the original owner found out about this, she was frightened and never dared to ride a horse again.
However, this wasn’t her original body. As Caroline, who had been inseparable from horses since she was young, a mere horse-riding exhibition competition was just a warm-up for her. Therefore, she wasn’t afraid at all.
Fiona’s gaze hardened as she looked at Caroline, who was playing with the invitation calmly. A voice came out of her heart, telling her that Caroline was not as simple as the rumors said. However, Fiona had always been a very confident woman, so she wasn’t afraid of Caroline’s challenge.
“I’ll wait and see, then. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” She nodded.
After Fiona finished speaking, she left with her men. Caroline sensed something unusual when she mentioned Edwin’s name, but she didn’t pay much attention to it.
