Chapter 38 See You At The Competition

Isabella cast a disdainful glance at Brenna. In her eyes, there was nothing extraordinary about her. Sure, she had good looks, a bit of medical knowledge, and some design talent But beyond that, there wasn't much to her

The Barrett family had raised Brenna for years, yet they had never invested in her growth-to extracurricular activities and no specialized training-nothing that nurtured her potential Given that, the fact that Brenna had achieved any level of success in both design and medicine was surprising

What irritated Isabella the most was Brenna's so-called design talent. She had seen Brenna's work, and opinion, it was mediocre at best. The Barrett Group specialized in mid-to-low-end auto parts, so naturally.

Brenna had experience designing within that range

But high-end automobiles? That was an entirely different level. There was no way Brenna could handle that

And as for Brenna's medical skills, Isabella remained skeptical. It was probably just luck. Her parents had never even seen Brenna study medicine, so at most, she had a basic understanding Nothing significant

The thought of this made Isabella feel better. She eagerly waited for Brenna's response and decided to push things a little further. With a smirk, she threw out a casual but pointed remark. "You can't ride a horse, right?"

She then burst into laughter and looked at Brenna with evident disdain

Jordy, just as arrogant, chimed in arrogantly, "I knew it! You can't ride a horse! You should just stay by Mr. Mitchell's side and continue to be useless "

Brenna caught the smugness in their voices and felt a sharp urge to put them in their place. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Do you both know how to ride?"

She had no doubt that Jordy could. After all, he came from a rich family, where horseback riding was a standard social skill learned from a young age. But Isabella? Her background wasn't as privileged. If the rumors were true, her family was fairly ordinary and likely hadn't had the means to cultivate such expensive hobbies. Sure enough, Isabella's confident smirk faltered for a split second. She exchanged a quick glance with Jordy, and something flashed in her eyes. But just as quickly, she lifted her chin and said, "Who says I don't know how to ride a horse?"
