Had it not been for the interference, Brenna could have early surpassed Alex Finally, someone had calong who could challenge Alex.

As Brenna slowed her horse to a steady trot, the cameras zoomed in on her. The sight of her poised confidence and striking beauty sent another wave of excitement through the stands.

She acknowledged the cheering spectators with a wave before guiding her horse toward the stables at a leisurely pace.

Rosie, finishing in second place, glanced at the scoreboard in disbelief. She had completed the race in twenty seconds her personal best. But it wasn't enough. Only the first-place winners advanced to the finals. Despite her efforts, she wouldn't get the chance to compete alongside her idol.

She was filled with rage, clenching her fists as she watched the audience roar for Brenna Jealousy gnawed at her insides.

How was Brenna so good at horseback riding? Hadn't the Barrett family kept her confined at home, forcing her to focus on nothing but design? Wasn't she stopped from going out? Hadn't they denied her access to extracurricular activities? Rosie believed this didn't make sense. Brenna seemed like a mystery-one she couldn't unravel.

Rosie had intended to disgrace Brenna through this race, expecting to see her falter in humiliation. Yet, the plan had backfired spectacularly-Brenna had not only triumphed but had also captured the attention of high society.

The more Rosie dwelled on it, the deeper her resentment grew.

At the stable entrance, Ethan stood waiting, his effortless charm on full display. A warm smile played on his lips as he extended a steady hand to help Brenna down from her horse.

She instinctively pushed against him "Mr Mitchell, could you let go ofnow asked Ethan smiled lightly and released her, though not before steadying her arms to ensure she regained her balance Rose, unable to stand the sight of them being so close, walked over and wedged herself between them, forcefully separating them like that?" Pouting, she turned to Ethan and said, "Ethan, how could you hold her like that?" Ethan flung her an icy stare. "Who gave you permission to ride my horse?" he asked sharply.

A tense silence fell over the stable. The manager, standing off to the side, paled. Only now, after witnessing the outcof the race, did he realize the truth-Ethan had intended for Brenna, the first place winner of thi round, to ride his horse, not Rosie.

He had completely misunderstood the instructions earlier. And now, he feared for his job. Seeing Rosie clinging to Ethan, the stable manager took his chance to plead his case with Brenna "Miss Harper, I sincerely apologize. Mr. Mitchell originally meant for you to ride his horse. I misunderstood hum and assumed he was referring to Miss Rosie Harper. Thankfully, no harm was done-otherwise, I'd be in serious trouble. Mr. Mitchell wouldn't have letoff so easily." Brenna barely reacted. She had little interest in Rosie's childish theatrics, let alone the misunderstanding over a horse.

Her relationship with Ethan was simple-Ethan hired her to treat his grandfather.

As for the horse, that was a separate issue between her and Rosie.
