The Tycoon's Deepest Repentance (Sophia and Ryan) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 157: A Restive Horse 

Liam is my brother,” Charlotte said, blinking, her face impassive as she uttered the words without batting an eyelash. 

Gilbert also paused at her words, a hint of skepticism in his tone as he questioned, “You’re Liam’s sister? Aren’t you the daughter of the Bellerose Family?” 

Charlotte nodded calmly, “I am a member of the Bellerose Family, but Liam is indeed my brother. He prefers to stay low–profile.” 

A faint smile played on her lips as she continued, “So, we look very similar, and my archery skills were also taught by my brother, Liam.” 

Gilbert tightened his thin lips, remaining silent. 

Indeed, with this, everything was explained. 

However- 

“Where is your brother?” Gilbert, staring straight at Charlotte, suddenly asked. 

In his deep pupils, there was a hidden urgency. 

Charlotte shrugged lightly and said, “I don’t know. He’s always been mysterious about his whereabouts.” 

After speaking, Charlotte’s gaze shifted to the crowd, and she added nonchalantly, “I have to go.” 

Without lingering, she turned and left the grove. 

Gilbert remained motionless, watching Charlotte’s departing figure, deep emotions flickering in his eyes. 

Charlotte returned to the group. 

“Charlotte, what did Teacher Gilbert ask you?” Abigail, with big, curious eyes, looked at her. 

The other students perked up, eager to hear how Charlotte would respond. 

Charlotte remained composed, calmly stating, “He asked me-” 

At this point, the girl deliberately paused, a trace of proud smile playing on her lips. 

“Why is my archery skill so formidable?” 

As the words fell, everyone fell silent. 

Charlotte really knows how to steal the spotlight! 

Although she’s not particularly likable, she did show exceptional skill just now… 

Making it impossible to mock her! 

Abigail couldn’t help but chuckle, a smirk forming at the corner of her mouth. “Charlotte, you’re done for! Teacher Gilbert has his eyes on you!” “Everyone, hurry up! We still need to compete in horseback riding!” At this moment, Teacher James suddenly spoke, urging all the students. 

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their pace and continued towards the horse riding arena. 

The second test: horseback riding. 

This time, there weren’t any peculiar or difficult setups. Everyone just had to ride the horses and complete the designated course. The one with the shortest time would be the first. 

When they arrived at the horse riding arena, the students immediately selected horses that suited their preferences. However, Charlotte remained nonchalant, taking her time. 

As a result, when she finally made her selection, there was only one extremely restive horse left. 

7% 

Chapter 157: A Restive Horse 

This horse was entirely black, with two round and shiny eyes as dark as the rest of its body, seemingly glaring at Charlotte. 

At this point, most students had already chosen their horses and were mounted. Charlotte, on the other hand, was still having a standoff with this little 

black horse, 

“Charlotte, what’s going on?” Teacher James sighed, looking somewhat helpless. “You’re the last one.” 

Although Charlotte performed exceptionally in the archery field just now, in Teacher James‘ eyes, she was still a consistently struggling C–grade student. Now, everyone was mounted on their horses, and she was the only one lingering. 

With Teacher James‘ call, everyone’s attention shifted to Charlotte again. 

“What is she doing? Does she not know how to ride a horse?” 

gard she used to live in a mountain village. Riding horses, a noble activity, how could she know?” 

“No wonder she’s so good at archery. She probably goes hunting in the mountains every day, this village girl!” 

Charlotte still hadn’t mounted the horse. 

Though the horse seemed calm, it was actually very restive. Riding this particular horse in the upcoming race would be highly disadvantageous. 

“Do you know how to ride a horse?” At this moment, a cold and crisp male voice sounded in her ears. 

Charlotte raised her eyes slightly. It was Exen who spoke to her. 

The young man was mounted on a tall and handsome white horse, exuding a transcendent and aloof aura. He gazed at Charlotte, his expression cold but his tone carrying a hint of concern. “If you don’t know, don’t force yourself.” 

Exen could tell that Charlotte had a strong competitive spirit. However, horseback riding was different from other events and could be dangerous if not handled carefully. He was genuinely offering a warning. 

At this moment, Karl also rode up. 

He purposely positioned himself in front of Exen, seemingly wanting to block his view. 

“Charlotte, I can let you have my horse,” Karl said, earnestly looking at her. 

He was smart and could instantly tell that this horse had a difficult temperament, hence he made the suggestion. 

The girls present saw Charlotte being surrounded by these two handsome young men and felt a mixture of envy and jealousy. 

How is Charlotte so lucky? 

With Karl in front and Exen behind, they all flock to her! 

Charlotte gave the two a fleeting glance and a slight smile played on her lips. “You go ahead, don’t worry about me.” 

Afterward, she looked at the crowd not far away and intentionally raised her voice, “I haven’t mounted the horse yet because there’s a little–issue with 

this horse…” 

An issue?! 

Teacher James, upon hearing this, immediately hurried over and furrowed his brows, asking, “What issue could this horse possibly have? They were all carefully selected!” 

Charlotte lowered her eyes slightly and calmly stated, “This horse has smooth fur and deep black eyes, a rare and exceptional steed capable of great speed.” 

Upon hearing this, the students started buzzing with excitement. 

“No way, after all that choosing, the best one ended up with Charlotte!” 

“What kind of luck does she have?”
