Chapter 225


    Zoe and Jordan weren’t the only ones who were stunned. Even the staff members


    were scared by the air ric was emanating. It felt like a storm was approaching.


    He was the most powerful person in the course right now, and no one wished to get


    on his bad side, so none of them tried to mediate things.


    Unlike everyone else, Victoria was calm. She was unaffected by ric’s displeasure,


    and she even frowned. “You got the wrong person. I’m with Mr. Floyd, not you.” That


    was a refusal.


    Everyone’s eyes widened in shock as they were surprised she would say that to


    ric. They were bbergasted that she would cross him in public.


    ric narrowed his eyes, staring at her. Then, he kicked the horse’s side and


    charged straight at her.


    Zoe covered her mouth, screaming in shock. Everyone else almost shouted when


    they saw what was happening. He’s not nning to crash right into her, is he?


    Even Jordan was shocked. Thinking that ric wanted to attack Victoria, he shouted, “ric!” Right


    then, he tried to pull Victoria over, but someone had beaten


    him to it.


    ric had pulled Victoria onto his horse, much to her shock, and she gasped. In all


    honesty, she wasn’t scared at all when he was charging at her. Even though it’d been


    five years since she met him, she knew him all too well. He would never ram into her


    for real, so she knew that was just a feint.


    That was why she stood her ground, but she never thought he would pull her onto


    the horse.


    “Let’s go.” ric rode ahead, and the howls of wind shocked Victoria into holding


    tightly onto him, her hair billowing in the wind. The man smiled and pulled her in


    front of him before stopping the horse.


    She red at him. “What are you doing?” Still, she held him tightly as she looked


    down below. The horse was big and strong. If I fall from up here… She instinctively


    held him tighter, oblivious to his smile.


    Even though she was angry at him, she held onto him tightly, afraid of falling. The


    sight of this doused ric’s anger, and he stared at her with a faint smile. “You were


    going to ride with someone else? They might fling you into the air if they’re not


    careful.”


    “Huh? The fact he asked me means he’s confident in his horse-riding skill, is he


    not?”


    “Is that so?” ric raised his head proudly. “Then, why don’t you ask him if his ribs


    are all healed? He broke his ribs from a ridest time.”


    “Hey!” an angry Jordan shouted. “I heard that!”


    Right then, he saw Victoria giving him a doubtful look. Oh, I should not have said


    that. “Dammit!” he cursed. However, he quickly added, “Wait, why did you take my


    woman? Do you know her?”


    ric shot him a look. “Your woman?”


    The icy fury in those eyes made Jordan shiver, but the sight of Victoria fueled his


    courage, and he said, “I brought her here, so give her back to me.”


    ric sneered and took Victoria away.


    The moment his horse started to move, Victoria held him tighter. “Hey, put me


    down! Put me down!”


    Everyone watched as he took her to the starting line. She wouldn’t stop yelling at


    him, but he wouldn’t even budge, nor did he get mad at her for yelling at him. Jordan


    cursed again. Guess I’m not getting her back.


    He turned around, looking at the dumbfounded Zoe. “Wanna ride with me?”


    She snapped out of it and nodded dumbly as she followed him. When she came to

    his horse, she asked, “Do they know each other?”


    “Duh. Why else would he take her? That man wouldn’t even let any woman near


    him.” Jordan was in a foul mood since ric had exposed him in public.


    Zoe was a little miffed, and she poked her fingers together in slight grievance. Just


    then, Jordan looked at her, and she looked back at him. Silence ensued.


    A few momentster, he urged, “What are you waiting for? Get up. You’re not


    expecting me to scoop you up like he did, right?”


    Zoe was left speechless upon hearing that. Still, she got up on the horse’s back.


    despite feeling a bit annoyed. Once she settled in, Jordan got up as well. Then, he


    heard her asking, “Um, is it true you fell and broke your ribs?”


    Goddammit, I am not living that down, am I?


    They came to the starting line. Seeing Victoria on ric’s horse angered Jordan.


    She should’ve been with me, not him! “The race is nothing without a bit of a side bet,


    don’t you think?”


    Chapter 225 Give Her Back


    Ever since ric got Victoria, he seemed a littleckadaisical. The race didn’t matter


    as long as he had Victoria with him. Thus, he didn’t even look at Jordan when he


    proposed a bet.


    5/6


    Victoria tried to exin, “Mr. Floyd, about the ne-”


    ric looked at her and coldly said, “What’s the bet?”


    He stopped her from talking to Jordan.


    Jordan knew what ric was thinking, and he sneered. “If I win, we’ll race another


    round.” He pointed at Victoria. “But you will have to give her back to me.”


    She thought, What? Why am I the prize?


    ric sneered. “You think you can win?”


    Jordan provoked, “Just tell me yes or no. Are you up for the challenge?” In most


    cases, he wouldn’t provoke ric that way, but thetter had taken it too far. ric


    had embarrassed him, and if he couldn’t salvage the matter, everyone wouldugh


    at him.


    ric took the bait, and he looked at Jordan. “Are you sure about this?”
