Chapter 1116
Zoe’s eyeballs could pop out of her head.
Bethany snickered and teased, “Oh, your mouth is jinxed.”
“Hmph! There’s no point in stopping her since she wants to play the hero. I hope she falls.” Zoe gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes dangerously at Bella’s confident face.
“Can you do it, Bella?” Wyatt was worried and doubtful.
“You know better if I can do it, Dad.” Bella winked at her father cheekily.
Wyatt, Celeste, and Asher exchanged looks.
They knew that Bella could ride. However, riding and racing were two different things.
“Ms. Thompson, horse racing isn’t child’s play. The race concerns a
commercial deal and the honor between our four families.
Logan sized the insolent girl up. “It’s fine to back down from the
competition. Chairman Thompson will be heartbroken if you fall or if
anything happens to you.”
In other words, Bella would be making a fool out of herself.
They all believed Bella would embarrass herself.
“Yeah, Ms. Thompson. Do you see any women competing? I don’t
think you should participate.”
Since Logan had spoken, Zoe joined in the taunting. “We know that you are competitive, but know your limits.”
“Ms. Hoffman, do you think horse riding isn’t a sport for women, or do you believe women are inferior to men?”
Bella looked indifferently at Zoe and smirked. “As far as I know, your grandmother was a well-known equestrian in her time. Your grandmother represented our country in international competition and brought home the trophy when equestrian wasn’t popular in our nation. Are you saying that your grandmother’s behavior was
inappropriate? You can show me contempt, but are you giving your family the same attitude?”
“You!” Zoe flushed embarrassedly. She just shot herself in the foot.
Logan glanced at his reckless granddaughter and shook his head
with a frown.
“Um… Ryan.”
Carrie drooped her shoulders. Her fingers gripped Ryan’s hand as she
asked shyly, “Bella must have gotten on Zoe’s nerves again. I-Isn’t she
scared?”
“Scared? Why should Bella be scared of Zoe? Justin yields to Bella
willingly. Nothing else in the world scares her. This is new.” Ryan grinned and held Carrie’s cold hand tight, caressing her at times.
“No… That’s not what I mean.”
Keeping her head down, Carrie murmured under her breath, “I’m
scared… I’m scared that Zoe will pick on Bella.”
