It was truly unusual.
“How is this even possible? The pony outran a Thoroughbred?” “What the hell just happened? How could he have won?” “What the hell was Roxanne doing? Why didn’t she just gallop straight to the finish line? Why did she waste time?
After Dustin won, the entire scene was thrown into chaos. Everyone gaped in disbelief, finding it hard to accept.
In the beginning, they were certain that Roxanne would win. The horse race proceeded exactly as expected, with Midnight Shadow dominating the entire course.
However, no one could have predicted that at the last moment, Midnight Shadow would suddenly falter and refuse to run. What just happened?
Was it a protest? A tantrum? “We won! We won! Dustin won!” After collecting herself, Sheila beamed as she cheered and leaped for joy. She couldn’t believe that Dustin had won even after choosing a pony. It was truly astonishing!
“This guy was lucky. He won just like that.” Vivian was irritated. “What the fuck? How? How did a pony win?” Evan was jealous and couldn’t accept the outcome.
If he had known that it would be that easy, he would have competed in the race instead. That way, he would not only stand in the spotlight but also gain Sheila’s attention. He could have killed two birds with one stone!
“No way! He won the race by strolling throughout? How is that even possible? “Elena’s eyes twitched, and she was unsettled. She had been looking forward to humiliating Dustin after his defeat. Instead, he had won the race.
“That’s strange.” Dahlia looked on curiously. She found it unusual that Dustin remained calm throughout. It was as if he had already expected the outcome.
“Roxanne was too arrogant. She would have won if she finished the race sooner. She just had to toy with Dustin. She brought this upon herself.”
Jayden frowned, looking grim. If she hadn’t paused throughout the race, she would have easily won. This loss would ruin her reputation. If word spread out that her Midnight Shadow lost to a pony, how would she face the public?
“Roxanne, it seems like your Thoroughbred isn’t all that impressive, “Dustin remarked. He had a subtle sarcastic smile, looking amused. After crossing the finish line, he turned back and continued leisurely toward Roxanne on his pony.
“You-!” Roxanne gritted her teeth as she seethed in anger. Rage overtook her, and she dismounted. Taking out her whip, she struck Midnight Shadow repeatedly. She struck so hard that the sound of the whip cracking echoed loudly.
“You damned animal! I lost the race because of you! “Why did you stop? Why did you make me trail behind? I’ll beat you to death!
“You fucking beast! You’ve ruined my reputation!” Roxanne whipped continuously in anger, releasing her pent-up frustrations.
Midnight Shadow neighed endlessly and grew agitated under the relentless beating. Finally, it couldn’t take it any longer and kicked Roxanne straight in the face.
Roxanne was sent flying before crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness. That kick had shattered her jaw. Her teeth had also been knocked out. Blood trickled from her mouth and nose.
She was nearly disfigured. It was a horrifying sight. Midnight Shadow had taught her the true meaning of karma.
