Luke and the others came back from the race, and they were all drenched with sweat. However, their faces were filled with excitement and it was obvious that they enjoyed the game.
"President Chase, here’s some water.” Sharon picked up two bottles of water and threw one of them to Luke.
Luke took it. "Thanks."
"Where's mine?" Hunter was upset when he saw that she only gave the water to Luke and not himself. "I brought you here. Why are you giving him water and not me?"
Sharon rolled her eyes. "Take it!"
She threw the other bottle over to him.
Hunter smiled in satisfaction. He opened the bottle and took a big gulp, then poured the remaining water onto his head. "Feels great!"
"Yup." Luke shook the water from his head and agreed.
On the other side, Lyra gave a bottle of water to Julien. "Julien, drink some water."
"Sure." Julien took the bottle and twisted it open, but he did not drink and passed it back to her. "You drink some.”
Lyra smiled at how considerate Julien was. "Thank
you, Julien."
Julien nodded, bent down, and took another bottle of water to drink.
Just then, a panicked cry came from afar.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the voice.
Luke saw that Sydney's horse was ramming around violently as though it had gone crazy.
Sydney was horrified, her face pale from fear. Her body tilted back and forth repeatedly with the horse's violent movements. Even though she held the reins tightly, if this carried on, she might be thrown off the horse sooner or later.
"Darling!” Luke quickly threw the bottle in his hands and ran toward his horse intending to save Sydney.
Just when he got up his horse, another figure ran past him.
It was Julien.
Luke frowned, kicked his horse’s abdomen, and chased after Julien.
Only Lyra and Hunter were left in the rest area.
Sharon just went to the washroom, and Jayden was still at the other side of the park.
Hunter saw Lyra's twisted expression and laughed. " My gosh, Julien went to save Sydney. Are you feeling very upset?"
Lyra knew that he was mocking her. She tightened her grip on the water bottle, yet her face remained calm. "Of course, not. Since something happened to Ms. Raines, it’s only natural for Julien to save her. I'm not upset."
"Really? Your actions are telling me otherwise." Hunter looked at the twisted bottle in her hands, while her smile became more forced.
Lyra’s expression stiffened and her grip on the bottle loosened immediately. She was speechless.
Hunter laughed. "Ms. Madden, your hypocrisy never ceased to amaze me. When Julien fell in love with you, I thought he must be blind. Now, his blindness seemed to be getting better.”
He held his chin as he looked at how Julien saved Sydney. "When something happened to Sydney, the fear on his face was real. He has Sydney in his heart, just that he hasn't realized it yet. When he realizes it someday, what do you think will happen, Ms.
Madden?"
"Enough. Stop talking." Lyra stood up and tightened her fist, urging Hunter to stop talking.
Hunter raised his eyebrow. "Are you mad?"
Lyra looked at him with gloominess in her eyes. "Mr. Cohen, I know that my father offended your family in the incident previously, but you don't have to ruin my relationship with Julien. Are you not afraid that Julien might get upset with you?"
"Afraid? Why would I be?" Hunter smiled as he replied, "Julien is my friend. I think that you and Julien aren't suitable for each other, so it's better for him to break up with you. I did this for his own good, so why would I be afraid?"
"You..." Lyra's face twisted horribly.
Hunter felt rather relieved.
He initially did not have any intentions to break Julien and Lyra up. After all, this was none of his business.
However, the Maddens were horrible people. They almost made the Cohen family lose years of hard work. He naturally could not stand Lyra and swore to make her unhappy. He was just a petty person after all.
