78 Probing
As one of the largest clubs in Alexandria College, the Equestrian Association had more than a hundred members. The club would hold an exhibition match every month on Wednesday afternoon of the fourth week.
The exhibition competition was conducted by a public voting method. Every student and teacher who came to the horse track to watch the competition would have a vote and could vote for their favorite contestant. In the end, the male and female with the highest votes would be the King and Queen of the club next month.
In the past, most of the time, this result was secured by a fixed candidate. For example, Fiona, the president, had been elected as Queen many times with a high number of votes.
Usually, there would be two to three hundred people in the audience during the exhibition match. However, because of Caroline’s participation, the audience was full. There were even people tiptoeing outside the horse track to watch.
Caroline changed into the new riding suit that Edwin sent over last night. When she walked out of the changing room, she attracted everyone’s attention. She really looked valiant and heroic in this outfit.
Fiona’s eyes stayed on her face and body for a few seconds before walking over. “As the only guest, you can choose your favorite horse first.”
Caroline did not reject her. However, when she turned around, she heard someone whispering, “Please don’t pick my Arthur. He has just come of age and has a bright future. What if he encounters this woman and suffers?”
The incident three years ago had left a deep impression on everyone.
Caroline didn’t even frown when she heard that. She went to the stable.
“Miss Lambert, we welcome you to choose a good horse.” Calvin, the person in charge of the stables, came out to welcome her.
Caroline glanced at him. From the memory of the original body, she recognized that he happened to be the person in charge of the stables three years ago. When she thought of the original body’s fall from the horse incident, she became more vigilant against Calvin.
Even if this person was not targeting the original owner of the stables, as the person in charge of the stables, he probably turned a blind eye to the incident and allowed it to happen. He also covered up the people who committed the crime.
Caroline didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw how respectful Calvin was to her. She looked around the stable and was about to pick one, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar white figure. It was the little guy she had worked with at Edwin’s private racecourse.
Seeing that her eyes fell on the white horse, Karl cursed in his heart. Her horsemanship wasn’t that good, but she had a good eye. She was able to pick the best horse at a glance.
He went up and explained to Caroline, “This horse is called White Snow. It was just sent to the track last night.” As for who sent it, he didn’t say clearly. But from Caroline’s eyes, she seemed to be quite familiar with the white horse. It was probably not the first time she had seen it, so she naturally knew who its owner was.
“So you’re called White Snow.” Caroline took out an apple from her bag and fed it to the white horse. She didn’t know if the white horse recognized her, but it snorted affectionately on her hand. Then, it took the apple from her hand and ate it with gusto.
Seeing how well-behaved it was, Caroline couldn’t help but stroke it. Although Edwin had promised not to care about her, he had still arranged so many things.
“So you picked White Snow as your partner, right?” Calvin took out the competition form and was about to record it down when Caroline suddenly shook her head. “I choose the No. 6 horse beside me.”
Calvin didn’t seem to have heard her clearly. “Which horse do you want?”
“No. 6,” Caroline emphasized again.
Calvin took a look at the white horse’s No. 5 plate in surprise, and then at the dark horse’s No. 6 plate next to him. He didn’t know what expression he should show on his face. “This horse is…”
He wanted to say that this horse was specially given to her by Mr. Anderson, so she should have chosen this horse.
However, when he met Caroline’s penetrating gaze, his words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he whispered, “Alright, you’ve chosen horse No. 6.”
Calvin waved his hand, and a steed deputy came forward to lead the black horse No. 6 out.
Caroline touched the White Snow again. “Good girl, I will come and play with you next time.” She turned to Calvin and said, “Take good care of it. Don’t let it suffer any grievances, okay? Otherwise, I’ll hold you responsible.”
Calvin’s eyes flashed with a hint of uneasiness, and he looked away guiltily. “Of course, it’s Mr. Anderson’s beloved horse after all. We’ll definitely take good care of it.”
