82 The Person Behind the Scenes
When she passed by someone, she suddenly stopped and stared at a girl. She was in the same round as her, and she was No. 6, who was on the track next to her.
When female No. 6 met her gaze, she obviously cowered a little. Then, she turned around as if nothing had happened.
In order to make it easier for the audience to watch, there were cameras at the racecourse, but they mainly filmed from the side. To highlight the people who were fast and rushed the line, she was betting that Caroline didn’t have any evidence and that the cameras didn’t capture what she did.
Caroline didn’t have any evidence. She could only guess from the horse’s injury that the culprit was on her left side. The person who had the best chance of doing it was No. 6.
This was also the reason why she didn’t expose the actions of girl No. 6 in front of Fiona, the person in charge. However, this didn’t mean that she would give up.
It didn’t matter if this girl was doing it out of jealousy or if she was being ordered around by someone else. If she dared to lay a hand on Caroline, Caroline wouldn’t let her off easily.
Due to the unexpected timing, Fiona had been very strict with the following matches and the exhibition match, so there were no more accidents.
Caroline got first place and successfully entered the exhibition competition. Although the horse could run fast because it was called by someone behind it, no one questioned the validity of her results because of Caroline’s decisiveness when she handled the frightened horse.
In the exhibition match, Caroline’s fluid movements proved her ability. Not only did she win over the contestants, but she also won over the audience.
The best way to change a person’s prejudice was to show off your strong abilities and make the other party admire you. Caroline had achieved this goal through an exhibition match.
She rode on the horse like a bolt of lightning, dashing through the air. The audience gave her the warmest applause and voted for her.
In the end, Caroline easily won the exhibition competition with her skills that surpassed the other contestants. Even those who had the deepest prejudice against her couldn’t deny this. They couldn’t go against their hearts and vote for someone else. At most, they could only give up on their vote.
“Today’s exhibition match was very exciting. Thank you for your passionate performance.” Although Fiona was upset after losing the competition, she still celebrated Caroline’s victory. “Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for today’s matter.”
Caroline took off her gloves and held her hand. “I believe you.”
A look of awkwardness flashed across Fiona’s face, but she didn’t say anything. She nodded and left.
What Caroline noticed, Fiona naturally noticed as well. She also suspected that it was the doing of the contestant from race track No. 6. When she took the name list and saw the name of the contestant, Fiona’s heart skipped a beat.
The girl on race track 6 was Alyssa, and she was from the family of Barbero, which happened to be one of the families under the Potter family.
According to Fiona’s knowledge, Alyssa and Caroline didn’t have much interaction, so there shouldn’t be any enmity between them. Hence, Alyssa probably acted on someone’s orders.
Fiona’s heart sank. After the exhibition match ended, she went to look for Alyssa. Sure enough, she learned the truth from Alyssa. Alyssa had indeed been ordered to do so, and the person who had ordered her to do so was her grandmother, Old Madam Potter.
Fiona was extremely embarrassed. She ran back and asked her why she did it.
Old Madam Potter was a serious and mean person, but after hearing Fiona’s question, she cursed out loud, “I knew the Barbero family was unreliable. They can’t even do such a small thing!”
Fiona was dumbfounded. “Grandmother, didn’t you teach me to keep my dignity at all times and not mix around with those people with bad character?”
Then why did her grandmother threaten the Barbero family and use disgraceful means to deal with Caroline? In this way, what was the difference between them and those people who they looked down on the most?
Old Madam Potter looked at her as though she was looking at a foolish child. “I’m just protecting the glory of our Potter family.”
