“Whistle... Why did you force yourself?! | told you to stop. Why didn’t you listen to me!?”


    Justin stood stiffly by her side, watching how Be was in distress for her horse. His heart ached as well.


    Be was kind to the core, and what he loved deeply was her pure and clean soul.


    The horse trainer quickly rushed to the scene, immediately performing a detailed examination of Whistle on the spot.


    Soon, they realized the problem.


    Whistle’s left leg had been cut at some point, leaving a long and narrow wound.


    The wound was located at the back of the horse’s leg and was hidden. Since Be was in a rush to enter thepetition, she


    and the horse trainer did not realize it.


    They could tell with one nce that it was intentional.


    Initially, the wound would not be a big deal if they treated and bandaged it in time,bined with enough rest. However, after


    wildly galloping for a few thousand meters, the injury worsened drastically.


    Pus and blood mingled with its fur, and even its bone was visible.


    The situation could not be worse.


    “| want an exnation !” Be’s eyes filled with tears as she choked


    “Ms. Be! | don’t know... | really don’t know what happened!”Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    The horse trainer was horrified and distressed, almost breaking into tears. “Before thepetition, | did a check-up on Whistle,


    and he was fine. How did this happen?!”


    “Be, Zachary has been with us for a long time and has always been careful while taking care of the horses. He never made a


    mistake over the past ten years.”


    After worrying, Asher regained his rationality and said, “idents happen. Moreover, if someone targeted Whistle, we couldn’t


    prevent it as we were unprepared.”


    Be took a deep breath, but her body could not stop shaking due to the anger.


    Justin kneeled on one knee behind her, wrapping his arms around her shoulder to pull her into his embrace. “Be, someone


    must have sneaked into the stables before the race to cut Whistle’s leg and immediately fled.


    “Leave it to me. | will find the person who harmed Whistle.”


    Be was moved. She leaned against Justin’s warm chest, sniffling, her eyes red.


    If Justin only mentioned her, she would not have felt so touched, but he also said it was for Whistle.


    She was deeply touched by this. It meant that all lives were equal in their eyes, and they were both kind and empathetic.


    “The culprit must have some knowledge of horses.”


    Be''s gaze was dark as she


    analyzed calmly, “The wound Was)


    strategic. OneinchGhéldwet, and it


    uld not cause such severe harm,


    but if it were an inch deeper, | would


    have noticed it before the race


    began.”


    “There are too many people with knowledge of horses on the racecourse. Where do we start?” Quentin looked anxious and


    troubled.


    “The mastermind could only have


    two purposes. One was to harm


    Be, so we iS Id inygstigater mM


    starting lwith ople who bear


    grudges toward her. The other was to


    harm the Thompson family’s horse to


    make them lose the race, thus losing


    the qualification topete for the


    project.”


    Veins appeared on Justin''srge hands that were caressing Be’s waist. His eyes shone with a dark light.


    His assumption pointed to the VIP seating area.


    Everyone who had grudges against Be or wanted the opportunity to coborate with Journey Ventures was gathered there.


    “Naturally, there could be someone


    else bold enough to Diels Buty)


    sigce the acbideht happened ina


    sh, we could only consider these


    two strongest motives,” Justin added


    coldly.
