Chapter 79 - 79 Before the Match
79 Before the Match
Caroline noticed the change in his emotions and sneered in her heart. So, they were planning to do something to White Snow?
The reason why she didn’t choose White Snow was that she was afraid that they would find out about the target in advance and attack White Snow in advance. Also, she felt bad for White Snow. If they had drugged it, it would cause too much damage to the horse, so it was best to save White Snow before it acted up.
However, she didn’t expect that Calvin would panic and give himself away after a little test. Such a low-level trick. They thought that Caroline was as innocent as she was three years ago. The same method had to be used again.
Seeing Caroline leave the stable, Calvin’s face darkened for a moment. Then, he asked someone to take the white horse away and put it in another stable. Since Caroline didn’t choose this white horse, he naturally couldn’t let others choose it.
Caroline took the reins of black horse No. 6 from the horse deputy and led it slowly on the track. At this moment, the stands were already full of people. Everyone saw that she was just leading the black horse and walking slowly, not riding on it, and couldn’t help but hiss.
It seemed like the rumors about Caroline falling off her horse and having a phobia of riding horses were true. There was a lot of discussion.
“Since you have a phobia of horse riding, why did you agree to participate in the exhibition match?”
“It’s probably to maintain her dignity, so she’s forcing the duck onto the rack.”
“I think it’s because the person who invited her was Fiona. She didn’t want to lose to her, so she agreed.”
“But what does this have to do with Fiona?”
“I’ve heard that the Potter family has always wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Anderson family. In fact, they’ve even gotten Old Madam Anderson to promise that when Fiona grows up, she’ll marry Mr. Anderson.”
“Fiona is indeed outstanding, so it’s normal for her to be chosen by Mrs. Anderson. However, no one expected Caroline to suddenly appear and end all of this.”
“God knows what Mr. Anderson was thinking. He actually abandoned such an outstanding young lady like Fiona and chose the infamous Caroline.”
“I’m afraid that Old Madam Anderson and the Potter family hate Caroline, the destroyer.”
“Well, it’s Mr. Anderson who’s in charge of the Anderson family now…”
Caroline could vaguely hear their discussion and finally understood why Fiona’s unusual behavior the other day. However, what did this have to do with her?
The person who had chosen her, and the person she had chosen, was Edwin.
Caroline continued to walk steadily. She would occasionally stroke the black horse and interact with it. Only when all the participants were ready did she lead the black horse back to the starting point.
The exhibition match was divided into two rounds. The first round was a race, which simply pursued speed and warmed up the horses. The main event was the obstacle race in the second round, where the participants had to ride the horses through the many obstacles set up on the track.
Caroline’s number was 7, so she led the horse to race track 7. A girl on the No. 8 race track next to her sat on her horse with her chin up. She looked down at her and said, “If you don’t even dare to get on the horse, you’d better go back now. You can still keep your life.”
“Thank you for your concern.” Caroline raised her head and smiled at her. This person’s words were unpleasant, but her intentions were good.
Seeing that she did not appreciate it, the No. 8 girl snorted and turned her head away.
At that moment, the starting officer raised his gun, and she had no time to care about the others. She lowered her body and was ready to attack.
Bang!
There was a flash of white smoke. Just as female No. 8 was about to ride the horse, she saw a white shadow jump up from the corner of her eye. Then, the black horse beside her ran out of the starting line before she could.
“Go!” Girl No. 8 didn’t have time to think about what was going on. She could only ride her horse and follow her. However, in this race that raced against time, the difference between a slight miss and a thousand miles was really great.
She had already used the horse’s speed to its maximum, but she was still behind Caroline by more than half a horse’s length. She watched as Caroline pulled the distance between them further and further.
Looking at Caroline’s skillful way of lying on the horse’s back, she was no different from a professional horse rider. The girl in track No. 8 felt her heart tighten for a moment. She cursed in her heart. Who was the one who spread the rumor that Caroline wasn’t good at riding horses and had a phobia of horses?
