Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 243

Shelley was at the front of the group. Her horse was much taller than the others. It gave off an imposing presence.

She turned her head and lifted her chin in Angela's direction to taunt her.

Angela, however, simply averted her gaze indifferently. She didn't even bother to spare Shelley so much as a glance.

As soon as the whistle blew, Shelley shouted, "Giddy up!"

Her riding posture was textbook perfect. She leaned slightly forward, her gaze sharp and focused, every muscle in her body tense. She clamped her legs tightly against the horse's belly, coordinating her reins with the occasional whip.

In less than a minute, she had already pulled ahead by half a lap.

The race was only five laps long, so it would be over quickly.

At this moment, Angela had no intention of stealing the spotlight. She planned to take it easy and just enjoy the ride. It was clear that Shelley was determined to win first place today.

But just as Charcoal carried her through the second lap, he suddenly became frantic for no apparent reason. He let out a strange, low-pitched grunt as if he were in deep pain.

Then, he started galloping unusually fast. Worst of all, he started galloping wildly, completely ignoring Angela's commands.
