Victoria listened to Asher's sincere words. She was surprised.She asked, "Don't you know what happened at the stables?"Asher was confused as he shook his head. "I went to deal with some business. After that, I went back to the gazebo. You know everything after that."What happened at the stables?"Asher had been harboring Yves in a small wooden house behind the paddock.The wooden house was like a secret base. Very few people knew about it. The public had not discovered the house either.His sister, Anna Chadler, had joined today's birthday banquet. However, Anna had stumbled upon Yves and took a liking to him. She even said she wanted to marry him.Asher quickly rushed over to handle that issue. Then, he quickly rushed back to his guests.Victoria thought quickly and smiled. "Nothing happened."Asher looked at her mischievous smile and did not believe her. He said with determination, "You're lying!"Victoria did not argue with him. Instead, she changed the subject."Mr. C

Wendy listened to Asher's introduction. She exclaimed, "Horses No. 3 and No. 8 seem to be the best contestants out there."If nothing unexpected happens, the winner will be between them. If everyone bets on them, wouldn't you lose all your money?"Sebastian smiled and said, "Mr. Chadler always loses money whenever he invites people over to bet on horses."Victoria thought she heard wrong and looked at Asher in disbelief. "You suffer a loss every time?"Asher nodded as if there was nothing wrong with it. "Happiness is more important. Ms. Victoria, you can bet on Horse No. 8. My lucky number will definitely bring you some luck.""You—You find joy over losing money?""Money is a materialistic object. We earn money to spend it."Money was meant to be spent, but not in such a way.What was this called? He was basically earning money for other people to spend.Victoria had met people who spent money like water, but she had never seen anyone spend like Asher was doing.Rather than l

Benjamin watched as Victoria tried hard to control the smile on her lips but still failed.There were a few moments where her smile would stretch to her ear.Benjamin felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.It was almost as if he had seen Victoria act like that before.At the same time, an uncontrollable sense of jealousy began to form in his heart.He glanced at Sebastian, who was standing beside him. Sebastian was looking at Victoria with a warm smile on his face.Benjamin frowned at the sight.Sebastian's feelings for Victoria seemed much grander than he had expected."Mr. Veron, your calculative reputation exceeds you."Sebastian collected his gaze. "You decided to injure Mr. Hughes without hesitation. Mr. Harper still seems to be as vicious as before."However, you're in the Hughes clan now! You're not in the outside world!""Does where I am make a difference?"No matter where he was, he would not allow himself to be controlled by other people."Mr. Veron, don't fo

Roxy stood on the second floor. She watched as Victoria clapped her hands, opened her arms, and shouted. Roxy smiled mockingly.Did Victoria think doing something like that would work? What an idiot!Even if she clapped her hands till they bled, that horse would never overtake No. 8, no matter how fast it could run.Victory was hers!Victoria wanted to step on Roxy's pride. However, Victoria would only fail and be humiliated."Look at how Ms. Victoria's behaving. Doesn't she look like a monkey from the circus? She looks so funny!"Everyone began to mock her and laughed at her.Roxy felt even more smug.Suddenly, there was a loud neigh.The audience was shocked and turned to look at the race tracks.Horse No. 15 had kicked down a hurdle on its track. Onyx raised its upper two legs and neighed loudly.Its voice was loud and clear. Onyx sounded like a commander giving out an order. Its presence was also powerful and commanding.Then, something that shocked everyone present hap

The competition had already ended. Only a black horse was left running on the field.On the horse's back was a woman in white.The woman had a pair of bright eyes and some light makeup. She was beautiful.She rode on the horse's back. Her slender body was surprisingly strong.Victoria held onto Onyx's reins. Her body leaned forward as the horse jumped past hurdle after hurdle.The wind ruffled her hair. Her dress was also raised slightly. She raised one hand to feel the wind.She looked wild and free.Just like that black horse, she did not have a care in the world. She was beautiful and strong, demanding people's respect.Victoria sat on Onyx's back. She felt like she was flying.She had nearly died. She managed to survive and came to the Hughes clan. She found Benjamin and won the competition.All of these things made Victoria feel lucky and happy.Although it had been a harsh ride, she had managed to overcome it.It had been a long time since Victoria felt so happy. It w
