“Dr. McAllister, you promised to hand me the pills at the horseracing event, didn’t you?” Eyes wide


    open, Sophia pressed on, “You’re not going against your word, are you? Will I see you today?”


    Tristan chuckled. “Why? Do you miss me?” His question was loaded with mockery instead of flirting.


    “Dr. McAllister … Tristan! I miss you. I miss you like crazy!” Sophia called out to him urgently.


    All she wanted was the miraculous pill in his hands. She would give up anything, including her dignity


    for that.


    “After the race ends, make your way to the lounge at Racecourse No. 2 by yourself. It will be deserted


    as everyone else will be at


    Racecourse No. 1. I’ll meet you there.”


    Nodding fervently, Sophia looked excited as she promised, “Sure! I will be there!”


    After the fascinating opening ceremony performances, the race.


    There were two notable events at the annual horseracing event, with one being the All-Horse Parade.


    To show off their wealth, the distinguished families would spend a fortune purchasing expensive breeds


    from abroad for the parade. The sight of healthy and


    handsome rare breed horses racing across the venue was majestic to watch.


    Another anticipated event was Horse Racing Betting. Each year, the amount spent on such betting


    totaled to a jaw-dropping tens of DIVNO.


    Some guests might make a bet as a way of socializing, but some put their money down with hopes of


    hitting the jackpot. Some, however, participated in the bet as a vote of confidence on certain horses.


    The four distinguished families had transported their horses to the racecourse. The horses waited in


    the stables, ready to join the race. “Winston, how much are you betting on my Big Baby?” Victor


    inquired. He checked out the racecourse through binocrs and elbowed Victor. Victor frowned with


    disdain and scoffed. “Big Baby? Haven’t you changed the name? It’s a fine horse. Why would you


    name it like that? I wouldn’t bet on a horse called Big Baby. From the sound of the name, it’s not going


    to be a fast runner.”


    “Tsk! I’ve changed its name long ago. It’s ‘Tornado’ now!”

    “Tornado? While the other horses raced to the front, yours would be spinning on the same spot,” joked


    Winston.


    Victor was rendered speechless as the other family members around them guffawed. Alyssa could not


    help but feel amazed by Winston’s glib tongue.


    “Winston Taylor, you’re getting stingier by the day! How could youugh at me and refuse to bet on my


    horse? Do you still call yourself a friend?” Victor pouted like he had been bullied.


    “I’m not going to bet on your horse. Ill be happier betting on mine, even if it loses the race. If I bet on


    other horses, and they end up losing, I’ll lose sleep tonight. Sorry, I can’t help it. I’m petty.”


    Victor was annoyed by Winston’s adamant decision.


    Suddenly, Jonah showed up with a gentle smile, saying, “Mr. Victor, I’ll make a bet on Tornado. I think it


    stands a good chance of winning, so I’ll make a small bet as a token of appreciation. Hope you don’t


    mind


    “Oh, Jonah, how nice of you! It makes me happy to hear that you have faith in Tornado!” Still, Victor


    inquired out of curiosity, “How much do you n to bet?”


    Jonah smiled and lifted a finger.
