Alyssa’s decision blew Zoe’s mind. Betty guffawed and teased her, Wow, you’re great at making

predictions, aren’t you?”

“Hmph! Let her be. She’ll only overexert herself and fall on all fours!” Zoe’s teeth clattered from rage as

she stared hatefully at Alyssa’s confident expression.

Winston was doubtful and concerned. “Lyse, can you do it?”

“Dad, you know me best.” She winked playfully at her father.

Winston, Lyla, and Jonah exchanged gazes. Alyssa might be adept at horse riding, but horse racing

was an entirely different matter.

“Ms. Alyssa, horse racing is not a child’s play. Moreover, this race. concerns an important business

in the race, don’t you think? Mr. Taylor would be heartbroken if that happened,” Cornelius remarked.

He was subtly warning her about losing face in the race, which was worse than losing the race itself.

Everyone present assumed that she would lose badly.

“That’s right, Ms. Alyssa. There are no female equestrians in this competition. Do you think it’s

Harper represented the country at international races and won the gold medal.

“Ms. Zoe, by the sound of it, do you think your grandma’s behavior was ‘inappropriate’? I don’t mind

you looking down on me, but it isn’t right to look down on your own grandma.”

“You-” Zoe was at a loss for words after she shot herself in the foot.

Frowning, Cornelius cast a look at his reckless granddaughter and shook his head.

“Um, Landon,” Lauren mumbled as she faltered. She grasped his hand tightly and said weakly, “H-Has

Alyssa angered Zoe? Isn’t she scared of Zoe?”

“Why would she be? Even Jasper is afraid of Alyssa. She probably fears no one else. Isn’t that

interesting?” Landon chuckled and rubbed her cold hand.

“No, that’s not what I mean…” With her head hung low, she said in an almost inaudible voice, “I’m

“Lauren, what is it?” Landon missed her words.

“N-Nothing.” She shook her head vehemently as fragments of horrible memories flashed across her

mind overwhelmingly.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and forced herself to dismiss the thoughts as cold sweat

formed across her forehead.

“I wouldn’t have suggested myself if I was not up to the task,” Alyssa announced, flashing a wide grin at

Cornelius as her eyes sparkled. ” Mr. Cornelius, thanks for the concern, but I only participate in
