Chapter 445
“What’s wrong?” Emeric asked, his voice a deep rumble.
“Our jockey got injured by some crazed horse from the Lockwoods while he was out walking ours!”
The Ashbournes exchanged shocked glances.
“What?”
Emeric’s eyes widened with concern. “How is he? Not in any life–threatening danger, I hope?”
́Although Emeric was known as a ruthless tycoon in the boardroom, he was known for his benevolence towards his staff. His first
thought wasn’t about the race, but about the jockey’s safety.
Mr. Dylan, the estate manager, wiped his brow. “No, thank goodness. He’s got multiple bruises and a broken arm. We’ve sent him to the hospital, but there’s no way he can compete now.”
Emeric exhaled in relief. “As long as he’s okay, that’s what matters.”
“Which horse caused the injury? We must hold them accountable,” Myra gently reminded.
“Don’t
worry, Myra dear. The Ashbournes won’t be pushed around. I’ve already handled it. They will be held fully responsible.”
But now, the Ashbournes were in a tight spot….
Without a jockey, were they to bow out of the competition, just handing over this grand opportunity on a silver platter?
Emeric clenched his jaw, his face etched with frustration.
“Chairman Emeric, it’s a true shame your horse won’t compete in such a prestigious event.”
Frederic’s mouth spoke of regret, but his lips curled into a smug smile. “Nonetheless, there’s always next year. No need to dwell on it too much.”
Emeric’s expression darkened.
He thought, “So, your son bullies my daughter, and you think you can gloat over my misfortune? Over my dead body!”
The Chambers and the Fairhavens breathed a sigh of relief, with one less contender to worry about.
“Regret? Mr. Frederic, you speak too soon.”
Evadne stepped forward with a confident grace, her tone conveying an undeniable sense of pride. “The Ashbournes don’t leave room for regrets, nor do we accept defeat.”
Frederic’s smugness faltered.
Evadne’s decisive words shattered the tension and redefined the atmosphere.
Thaddeus watched his spirited love with a gentle smile, eagerly anticipating the surprise she was about to unveil.
