An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1070

"What?" The group turned to look in the direction of the voice.

They saw a group of young men and women. The group strolled into the stable leisurely.

A woman led the group. She wore a black vest and black riding boots.

She was beautiful and had a slender figure. But she looked arrogant, giving off a high and mighty vibe.

As they entered the stable, she held a black horse by the reins. It had a shiny coat and was magnificent.

"Roxanne?" Sheila frowned at the sight of the woman.

Roxanne Murray was her cousin, and she always liked to challenge Sheila.

Roxanne had become more daring after Caden stepped down as head of the family.

Roxanne would look for trouble every day, annoying Sheila very much.

"Sheila, I can't stop laughing when I heard you brag about Gale. He never loses?" Roxanne mocked.

She did not hold back and continued to poke fun at Sheila. "Come on, you only won in previous years because everyone lets you.

"Did you think you're that good? Don't be ridiculous!"

Upon hearing her words, Sheila's expression darkened. It was obvious that she was annoyed.

"You're spouting nonsense!" Sheila snapped.

"Hmph! If you don't believe it, let's race then! We'll see if Gale or Midnight Shadow is better," Roxanne taunted.

Back then, everyone favored Sheila. After all, her father was the head of the Murray family. So, everyone treated Sheila with respect.

But things were different now. Roxanne's father was the new head of the family. So she could do whatever she wanted.

Sheila lifted her head and answered confidently, "Bring it on! Do you think I'm scared of you?"

She had been practicing horseback riding since she was young. With Gale by her side, Sheila was not afraid of a challenge.

"Great!" Roxanne's eyes lit up at that.

"But simply winning a race isn't satisfying. Let's have a little bet?"

"What are we betting on?" Sheila countered.

Roxanne grinned slyly. "It's simple. Let's bet our prized horses. Whoever loses has to give up their horse."

"Our horses?" Sheila was hesitant upon hearing that.

If they were betting money or valuables, she would agree in a heartbeat. But Gale was her beloved horse. Sheila needed to think about it.
