“No, not that… I just feel like something is about to happen.”
Jeremy’s gaze was deep. He wasn’t sure if it was due to excessive concern, but he felt an unexplainable oppression.
He didn’t mind if Alyssa didn’t win first place. He just wanted her to return safely to his side. That was the most important matter.
“Josh, Jimmy keeps talking to the Taylors. It seems like he’s really ingratiating himself with Mr. Taylor.”
Worried, Daisy whispered to Josh, “Mr. Taylor wouldn’t really want to marry his daughter to Jimmy, right? That would be a disaster! If that viper marries Mr. Taylor’s most beloved daughter, the Taylor family will assist him in seizing control of the Schmidt Group.
“Now that I’m married and David is disabled, you don’t have anyone by your side. In the future, if Jimmy has Mr. Taylor’s support, he won’t even spare us a glance. It might even threaten your position as president-“
“Enough!” Josh interrupted in a low voice, a cold gleam in his eyes.
“Worrying about this now is too early. Alyssa is not an ordinary woman. She once managed to secretly marry Jeremy against Mr.
“That’s true, but-“
“Also, looking at it from a different perspective, I’m actually looking. forward to the moment when Mr. Taylor forces Alyssa to marry Jameson.”
Josh’s eyes were inscrutable, and he smirked. “It will cause quite a stir.”
Alyssa was covered in sweat on the racecourse, urging Blaze forward at breakneck speed, startling the onlookers.
“Blaze! Go!”
Blaze exerted all its strength, running like the wind.
Just two seconds ago, it was neck and neck with Sapphire, but Sapphire was left far behind in the blink of an eye. The gap kept widening, making it impossible to catch up.
The foreign equestrian turned around, glaring fiercely at Alyssa while vigorously whipping his horse’s hindquarters.
Alyssa clenched her teeth, her desire for victory igniting. Her eyes turned red as if blood were about to drip.
Suddenly, Blaze staggered, and its breath became unstable.
Alyssa’s body sank suddenly, feeling that something was amiss.
Something was wrong with Blaze. Having dealt with horses for many years, she quickly realized that there was an issue with its legs.
“Blaze! Stop! Don’t run anymore!” Alyssa urgently commanded, tightly pulling the reins.
She could accept losing the race, but Blaze must not be hurt!
Unexpectedly, the usually obedient Blaze kept running recklessly, its heart, too, stronger than that of its owner.
“Blaze! I asked you to stop!” Alyssa exerted all her strength to rein it in, but she couldn’t control this runaway wild horse.
The finish line was within sight.
The VIPs in their seats held their breath. Even Ezzo and Zeke leaned forward in their chairs and stared intently at the imminent revelation. of the match’s outcome.
“No… something’s wrong.” Jeremy’s eyes contracted sharply while. his heart was pounding wildly.
Perhaps it was a keen intuition, or he sensed something unusual from Alyssa’s excessively tense expression. He dropped the binoculars and sprinted away, disregarding the crowd’s gazes.
“Jeremy! Wait! Where are you going?” Landon panicked, torn between going after Jeremy and leaving Lauren alone.
Jameson’s eyes darkened. He quietly instructed Carl, “Find out what happened.”
Only about 100 feet were left, and the Harper Group’s horse was leading.
Cornelius was so excited that his hands trembled as he gripped his cane. Meanwhile, Preston had walked up to Ezzo and Zeke, ready to shake hands and celebrate.
At this moment, Alyssa completely disregarded the outcome of the race. She was only concerned about Blaze’s safety.
Just when the foreign equestrian thought victory belonged to him and was already waving to the audience, a gust of wind swept past him. It was so fast that he couldn’t even see it clearly.
Following that, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.
“Horse number five breaks through the finish line first! Congratulations to KS Group and Ms. Alyssa for winning the championship!”
Led by Winston, the Taylors burst into excited cheers.
“Lyse! You’re amazing! Lyse!” Even the usually soft-spoken Lyla shouted joyfully.
Jonah had a beaming smile, clapping until his hands turned red.
On the other hand, Cornelius, who had just seen his major project slip away, stiffened and took a deep breath.
Meanwhile, Preston found himself in an even more awkward situation, as his outstretched hand was left hanging in mid-air.
“I guess there’s no need for handshakes,” Ezzo said, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.
Preston could only force a smile and walk away, dejected.
While some were rejoicing and others were upset, the whole arenal suddenly gasped.
“Oh no! Look, everyone! Ms. Alyssa and her horse fell to the ground!” Zoe immediately sprung up from her seat, pointing directly at the horse racing arena. Her eyes were gleaming with excitement.
A cloud of dust rose as Blaze’s large body abruptly dropped, sliding several feet on its knees after crossing the finish line. It then crashed heavily onto the ground, emitting a frightening neigh.
Alyssa was thrown off as well, smashing into the nearby advertising boards and barriers.
“Lyse!”
The Taylors were frightened out of their wits. Winston’s vision went black, and he would have likely fallen if Lyla hadn’t supported him in time.
At the same time, Jonah and Neil had already left their seats, rushing toward Alyssa.
“Alyssa… Alyssa!” Lauren covered her mouth, bursting into tears on the spot.
“It’s okay, Lauren. Lyse will be fine. It’s okay.” Landon’s heart tightened. He hugged his wife and comforted her with constant pats.
At the same time, his sharp gaze swept toward Zoe.
She happened to wear a triumphant smirk, a sight that grated on his eyes.
He had harbored suspicions just a moment ago.
Alyssa’s fall happened suddenly, and no one reacted in time. But Zoe something was going to happen.
That was too strange.
Alyssa’s back took a hit. A metal frame scraped her waist, causing her to curl up in pain.
At this moment, her mind was blank. She closed her eyes, gasping for breath with all her might. Distant and blurry shouts surrounded her, like being in a terrifying nightmare.
In her hazy thoughts, Alyssa heard footsteps rapidly approaching and anxious calls as if someone were shouting her name.
Were they medical staff?
Was it her father? Or her brothers?
“Lyse!”
The next moment, Alyssa felt her weakened self enveloped in a ho embrace, holding her tightly. That irreplaceable sense of belonging instantly brought clarity to her dazed consciousness.
She slowly raised her eyes, meeting Jeremy’s crimson, teary eyes. She lightly smiled. “Ha… So it’s you…”
“Yes, it’s me… Lyse, it’s me.” Jeremy’s mind buzzed, and his voice was hoarse.
He tightly embraced the trembling Alyssa as if she might vanish into thin air if he loosened his grip. His heart felt like it was shattering into pieces. “Lyse… Tell me where it hurts. Quickly.”
“Blaze… Blaze.”
Regaining her ability to think, Alyssa immediately thought of the poor little creature. She struggled to break free from Jeremy’s embrace and rushed toward Blaze, who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath.
