Chapter 1150
A pair of bright eyes flashed with excitement, instantly shifted, replaced by a smirk that sent a chill down Wendy’s spine.
“No need,” she said calmly, sidestepping Wendy and Rhys, heading forward.
Nathan, too, couldn’t wait to follow her.
Stanley trailed behind, his expression cold, his gaze fixed on Rhys like a razor–sharp blade, as if he couldn’t wait to slice the man’s soul in two. Rhys cast him a sideways glance, meeting his gaze head–on, his eyes flickering with undisguised contempt and superiority. Then he caught up with Chloe, “Ms. Chloe, Ms. Alonso was right, you’re a beginner. How about I pick out a gentle pony for you? Ponies are small and totally safe.”
“I said I don’t need it.” Chloe was really fed up with this man’s persistence, her tone already exuding impatience.

Watching Chloe bypass the pony stable, Rhys‘ eyes flashed, and he suddenly started laughing again.
‘No need for a pony, I’ll teach you to ride. How about this one? It’s big, but it’s tame, should be easy to control.”
Wendy was trailing behind them, leading a horse. Although she was smiling, she was far from happy. She personally didn’t like Mr. Rhys, but she didn’t want to see a man not liking her.
Especially since Rhys seemed interested in her from the start, from his compliments to his current fascination with Chloe, she was both angry and jealous.
The reins in her hand were suddenly pulled. Wendy turned her head, just about to tighten the reins when her movements froze, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes.
As for Rhys‘ suggestion, Chloe didn’t give a damn. She had taken a full circle and had seen all the horses. And Stanley and Nathan had already chosen two horses. Both were tall horses, with strong muscular lines, smooth manes, strong limbs, and looked good.
“How do you like my horse? Handsome, isn’t it?” Nathan patted the horse’s neck beside him, looking very pleased with himself.
Chloe smiled, “Very.”
Nathan raised his brows, his gaze shifted to the horse by Wendy, and he regretfully said, “But compared to hers, her horse is the best.”
Chloe turned to look but found that Wendy had somehow already brought the horse to her side. And it was quite evident that the horse was a bit restless. Its breath was heavy and fast, its hooves occasionally kicking the ground.
Rhys was more than happy to show off his equestrian superiority, saying, “Ms. Alonso is very professional, this horse is a purebred from Ireland. Purebreds are bred from champion horses on the race track. They are born with the physical qualities needed for fast running. The beauty of this horse is not only in its appearance but also in its vibrant state of movement.
“Although it looks beautiful now, once it starts running, it will be even more attractive. Because it is a noble breed, the treatment it gets is naturally the best. But these horses often have a big temper.”
As if to prove Rhys‘ words right, the horse started to lose its temper, kicking up dust as it started to tug at the reins, trying to break free from Wendy’s
grip.
Wendy held onto the reins tightly, trying to soothe it, but the horse wouldn’t calm down. Chloe frowned, taking a couple of steps back.
Wendy looked a bit flustered. She turned to Chloe and said, “This horse has a bad temper. I had a hard time getting it to let me approach it. Be careful…
Ah…!”
Before she could finish, the reins in her hand loosened a few loops, and the horse took a couple of steps toward Chloe.
“Oh my god! Watch out!” Nathan’s heart leaped into his throat. If the horse really kicked Chloe, the consequences would be unthinkable. He rushed over, snatching the reins from Wendy and pulling hard to the side. The horse’s head turned, its body following suit.
Wendy was pushed aside by Nathan, almost stumbling. She watched as Nathan pulled the horse to the side, his face very stern. When she looked back at Chloe, she found her standing there quietly, watching her with an icy, emotionless expression, like a frozen lake.
Wendy felt a chill, her gaze meeting Chloe’s making her feel flustered, and she began to cough.
Nathan calmed the horse down, and threw the reins back into Wendy’s hands, his gaze icy cold. Wendy gripped the reins tightly, looking at Nathan, smiling, “Thank you.”
Nathan coldly said, “If you can’t control it, don’t do dangerous things. If you hurt Chloe, do you know what the consequences will be?”
Wendy coughed a couple of times, “I didn’t mean to…”
Nathan sternly said, “Do you think anyone cares if you meant to or not?”
Nathan’s face was very stern, his attitude towards Wendy very harsh.
Wendy bit her lip, looked up at Chloe, her eyes filled with apology. She said, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect the horse to suddenly lose its temper. Are you okay?”
Chloe gave her a deep look, a mocking smile playing on her lips. She took the whip from the coach’s hand, held it, and said, “I thought you were adept, didn’t expect you not to be able to handle such a small matter.”
Wendy’s face stiffened instantly, then she forced a smile, “I think, no matter how bad I am, you’re not qualified to judge me, right? I know you’re biased against me, whatever happens, you’ll suspect me first…”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, cast a sidelong glance at her, “Seems you know your reputation isn’t exactly stellar.
Wendy felt a wave of pressure; this woman was really hard to deal with. “I’ve already said, I didn’t mean to do anything, whether you want to believe it or not is up to you.”
Who said you did it on purpose? The horse suddenly became violent. Could you control it?”
Wendy’s heart tightened. She looked up at Chloe, only to see her sarcastic and indifferent smile.
The horse suddenly got all antsy, but it had nothing to do with her, she didn’t need to chirp in. But now she was all eager to clear her name, which kind of made her look guilty, didn’t it?
