“Quick, check out the upper echelon forum! Soren Zeller fell into the artificial lake and was just pulled out!”“How did he fall into the lake?”“The northern area of One Equestrian Club was just acquired at the beginning of the year and it's not completed yet. It's all fenced off with iron railings! What was he doing there?”“Look at his bruised and swollen appearance; he must have been beaten up and thrown into the lake! This fool is always offending people!”“That’s true, Soren Zeller is notorious for his foul mouth. He is always spouting obscenities. It’s disgusting! I’m guessing that some powerful figure got fed up and decided to deal with him today.”“Who could this powerful figure be? The Zeller family is not to be trifled with. If exposed, it could be troublesome.”“Yes! According to the information posted on the forum, the Zellers have already reported this matter to the police!”-Harmonia listened to the surrounding discussions. She recalled when Soren had used vulga
Harmonia squinted her eyes, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and tilted her head slightly as she glanced at Luna. She took a deliberate moment to appraise Luna, who was dressed in white equestrian attire from head to toe. “It's fine if you want to compete with me, but wouldn't you consider changing your clothes first?” Harmonia remarked, a touch of playful mockery in her tone. “After all, our strengths are worlds apart. When Firefly dashes, it tends to splatter quite a bit of mud around.”"It would be quite unfortunate if your mourning is affected because your mourning attire got stained. However, rest assured. I'll strive to create a three-second gap, minimizing the chances of you getting splashed to ensure that your mourning attire stays pristine. Don't thank me too much, last place.”With these words, Harmonia turned around and departed, leaving Luna utterly flabbergasted. She was fuming with rage, and her face alternated between pale and flushed. Luna glared fiercely at
Harmonia actually rode in on Firefly in the finals!Luna’s pupils trembled. She was in absolute disbelief. Just when everyone was puzzled about whether Firefly had entered the arena while unwell, a gunshot echoed!Firefly surged forward with its hooves!Harmonia was the first to charge out! Their coordination was flawless!Mud splattered, dust filled the air, and the sight of the rider and the horse were both heroic.They dashed past the finish line, and it was as if time had frozen. Fifty-six seconds!The entire arena erupted in cheers, and thunderous applause resonated!Harmonia secured first place in all three races—the preliminary, semifinals, and finals!She broke the fifty-eight seconds record set by Safan thirty years ago! Furthermore, Safan was an Olympic champion, so anyone who could break his record in the 1000-meter race could boast for a lifetime!The vast screen displayed replays of Harmonia crossing the finish line.Finally, there were suddenly enlarged words
Scenes captured by hidden cameras unfolded on the wide screen! A staff member adorned in equestrian attire initiated the sequence by shutting down the water circulation system! Subsequently, an unidentified yellow powder was added to Firefly’s water tank in its individual stable! Following this, a wave of recorded voices sounded.“How is it? Has the substance been added to the tank?”“Yes, Miss Woods,” came the reply.“Did that foolish horse drink it?” Luna’s tone was a blend of disdain and satisfaction.“It drank with pure joy! I witnessed it finishing the entire drink.”The video and audio evidence were conclusive and irrefutable. Anyone familiar with Luna would recognize her distinctive voice!Luna’s complexion turned instantly pale. In the prior moment, she had accused Harmonia of mistreating horses, only to reveal a video recording of herself administering a substance to a horse! Her actions were the epitome of lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot!“I-I… I di
In that fleeting moment, he stood out remarkably amidst the vast sea of people. He chuckled as their eyes met, radiating a dazzling brilliance under the blazing sun.-In truth, as long as one was not blind, one could certainly discern whether there was something wrong with a horse at a glance.Firefly did not look like it had any issues at all. It was merely momentarily intoxicated by victory, and it seemed to be over the moon. That was all. Soon, the police arrived at the scene and took Luna away for investigation.Discussions erupted in the spectator stand. Horses were the symbols of prosperity for many affluent families.Everyone was indignant because of Luna’s actions and condemned her shameless behavior. No wonder the Woods had faced bankruptcy! After all, it was already a blessing for the Woods, who had already gone bankrupt, to be able to participate in the upper echelon event.However, Luna actually dared to commit such an act of harm against a horse in full view of th
Dimas took out his phone and saw the money he had just received from Harmonia.Shortly after, he received a WhatsApp message: ‘The five million dollars is to thank you for your hard work today.’Dimas was puzzled and questioned her: ‘What hard work?’‘You helped me beat Soren Zeller up, helped me retrieve the surveillance footage and displayed it on the large screen, and you even asked Rio to act as a veterinarian to testify on my behalf. In addition, I should cover the medical expenses for the horse that resembles Firefly as well.’Harmonia had a clear understanding of everything, and she did not miss out on any detail at all. She knew that he had taken action against Soren because of her, so she specifically paid him for his hard work.Even though it was her idea to retrieve the surveillance footage and display it on the large screen, she still rewarded him for his hard work even though he did it with little effort.As for Rio playing the role of a veterinarian, Rio truly had a
“We’ve just had a brief encounter, and he arrived swiftly with an air of determination before I even had the chance to have a meaningful conversation with you. You didn’t believe me when I told you that he was worried about you and afraid that you would be aggrieved!” Mr. Parish shook his head and chuckled as he observed the expressions of the two individuals with a meaningful gaze.Dimas had a dangerous look in his eyes as he squinted and walked directly toward Harmonia, reaching out and pulling her behind him. “She came with me, so it’s my responsibility to protect her.”Harmonia looked at her hand that was being firmly held by Dimas. She pursed her lips and was momentarily speechless. Although Mr. Parish was someone whom Dimas trusted and they shared a seemingly good relationship, he still rushed to them as soon as possible. Did he genuinely fear she might suffer injustice, even from someone he trusted?“That’s right. You should protect her well. If you keep protecting some
“Mr. Parish, that was what my mother left behind for her daughter-in-law.”Mr. Parish suddenly came to a realization. He patted his leg lightly and laughed heartily as he said, “You haven’t felt any love or affection toward anyone in twenty-eight years, but now, you’re taking action even faster than a rocket.”Dimas smiled faintly, but his gaze turned cold. Was he fast? Not really. It was because he came too late that the young lady mistakenly thought that Absalom was the one who saved her and married him wholeheartedly. However, his scumbag nephew failed to provide her with the happiness and safety she deserved. Dimas’ eyes turned colder. After leaving the round meeting room, he immediately instructed Rio, “Make sure that there’s no possibility for Luna to be released no matter who tries to bail her out.” Rio complied immediately but was a step too late. “Sir, Absalom paid a hefty bail for Luna three minutes ago. She has already been released.”Dimas’ expression changed abr
