Chapter 44 How Could You

Hold Her Like That

Jordy and Sylvie crashed onto the track, the impact jarring Just as Jordy lifted his head, he caught sight of Vivian's horse thundering straight toward them Instinct took over he grabbed Sylvie and rolled them both to the side in time

Had they hesitated for even a second, they would have been trampled beneath the charging horse Meanwhile, Brenna had already crossed the finish line, securing first place in the tenth group

The electronic scoreboard flashed her time-it was identical to Alex's

The crowd burst into deafening applause. Had it not been for the interference, Brenna could have early surpassed Alex

Finally, someone had come along who could challenge Alex.

As Brenna slowed her horse to a steady trot, the cameras zoomed in on her. The sight of her poised confidence and striking beauty sent another wave of excitement through the stands.

She acknowledged the cheering spectators with a wave before guiding her horse toward the stables at a leisurely pace.

Rosie, finishing in second place, glanced at the scoreboard in disbelief. She had completed the race in twenty seconds her personal best. But it wasn't enough. Only the first-place winners advanced to the finals. Despite her efforts, she wouldn't get the chance to compete alongside her idol.

She was filled with rage, clenching her fists as she watched the audience roar for Brenna Jealousy gnawed at

her insides.

How was Brenna so good at horseback riding?

Hadn't the Barrett family kept her confined at home, forcing her to focus on nothing but design? Wasn't she stopped from going out? Hadn't they denied her access to extracurricular activities?

Rosie believed this didn't make sense. Brenna seemed like a mystery-one she couldn't unravel.

Rosie had intended to disgrace Brenna through this race, expecting to see her falter in humiliation. Yet, the plan had backfired spectacularly-Brenna had not only triumphed but had also captured the attention of high

society.
