Chapter 119 The High–Stakes Bet
Niall’s dark eyes narrowed. “Nyla, right? Are you with the trade association?”
Nyla looked slightly surprised at his words.
“Oh, you know about the trade association?”
Trade association? Hmph! Not only did Niall k
about it, but he also had extensive connections!
Today’s incident would not be brushed off lightly.
Although they were all adults, Niall, being the oldest in the group, naturally had to take on the role of the leader.
“You will pay for this. I guarantee you will regret what happened today.”
Nyla laughed loudly. “Ha, such bold words!
“But it’s okay. Considering how good–looking you are, I’ll forgive you. You probably don’t know how influential my family is around here, do you? Julian, why don’t you explain it to them?”
Julian despised Nyla’s arrogant attitude, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
He bit his lip and reluctantly said, “Nyla’s father is the vice president of the trade association.”
A mere vice president?
Jasper and Liam exchanged glances, a hint of mockery in their eyes.
Showing off in front of experts!
Nyla noticed their defiance and lifted her chin. I’m not just relying on my family.
“You were picking horses earlier, right? Planning to join the horseback riding challenge? Do you know who holds the record for the horseback riding challenge? Julian, tell theth.”
Julian clenched his fists. “It’s her.”
Nyla was extremely pleased with herself. “Hahaha, I hold the horseback riding record in Yurtlandia. I also broke the horseback riding challenge record, and no one has beaten it since. Hmph, and neither will you.
Nyla was unbelievably arrogant.
Only Julian and Sara knew that the reason Nyla broke the record was because of her superior horse.
To set the record, Nyla used a top–notch Akhal–Teke, which was far superior to ordinary horses in terms of speed and lineage.
Naturally, she was able to break the record.
Nyla glanced at the horses in the stable and sneered, “These meat horses are the worst. Even if they run until their legs break, they won’t beat my record.”

Then she stepped forward and said to Nyla, “What if I break your record? What will you do then?”
Nyla scoffed, “You? Hah, dream on!”
Violeta replied, “Me with her.”
She pointed to Princess, who was eating grass in the stable. The moment Violeta first saw Princess, she recognised her Thoroughbred lineage.
After hearing that Nyla had bought Princess but couldn’t tame her and returned her, she was even more certain.
Princess had to have Thoroughbred blood, or else Nyla wouldn’t have chosen her in the first place.
As expected, Nyla’s expression faltered slightly when she heard Violeta’s words. “With her?”
Princess was indeed a very fine Thoroughbred, but she had a proud temperament. When Princess was younger, Nyla had bought her, but unfortunately, she couldn’t tame her.
Unwilling to simply return her, Nyla used scissors to leave a permanent mark on her ear.
“Hah, this horse may be better than the others in the stable, but there’s no way you can tame her. Besides, she’s already an old horse.
“You won’t break my record,”
Violeta didn’t want to hear any more of her nonsense. “If I break your record, you let me whip you once. If I don’t, you can whip me once.”
“Viol
Niall couldn’t allow Violeta to take such a risk.
Niall had already stepped aside to call someone from the trade association. It half an hour for them to arrive.
uld take no more than
Although powerful outsiders often had a hard time asserting themselves in local territories, Niall had plenty of people willing to act on his behalf.
“Bro, I have to whip her at least once!”
Violeta couldn’t let Hayden take that lash for nothing.
And she wasn’t the only one who wanted to teach Nyla a lesson–Jasper and the others were equally fed up with her.
Hayden’s forearm was slowly bleeding, staining his white jacket.
Niall walked over to Violeta. “Vio, don’t use your body as a wager.”
Violeta could tell that Niall had another plan, but she wanted to whip Nyla herself and make her admit
defeat.
Besides, she believed in Princess, who was far from an ordinary horse.

However, Nyla didn’t take Violeta seriously.
“I told you, you can’t break my record. But if you want to bet, fine, I agree,” Nyla said.
“If you break my record. I’ll admit you’re the best horse rider in Yurtlandia and let you whip me once. But if you don’t, I get to whip you twice.”
Two lashes? Nyla was really pushing her luck.
It was supposed to be one lash for one lash, but now she wanted to whip Violeta twice.
Hayden was the first to object, “No way!”
Violeta responded, “Fine, I accept!”
It would still be a while before the trade association people arrived, and there was no guarantee Nyla would stick around at the inn.
