Chapter 70
Chapter 70 Lauren covered her mouth to suppress a laugh , suddenly realizing that these so called Jayrodale elites were not much different from the social climbers they claimed to mock .
Andrew , I challenge you on behalf of Mr.
Thatcher ! Harvey declared .
Dont get cocky .
Your first two wins were just beginners luck .
Fortune wont keep favoring a fool forever ! Bernard chimed in , Well said ! Those two wins were nothing but dumb luck .
No one in Jayrodale can match Mr.
Thatcher at horse racing especially not some junior doctor ! Mark waved them off with a chuckle .
Come now were not sore losers .
Dr.
Lloyd , if you can win this one too , youll definitely earn my respect ! If were playing by the same rules , Mr.
Thatcher then I wont lose , Andrew replied with a calm smile .
The crowd erupted immediately .
Such arrogance ! This young man doesnt know his place ! How dare he speak to Mr.
Thatcher like that ! Francescas heart was racing , She could not believe Andrew dared to speak so boldly in front of Mark .
Meanwhile , Christina watched Andrew with newfound interest , surprised to discover this confident , daring side of him .
Marks tone turned serious as he said , Horse racing can be unpredictable .
But Ive never lost three races in a row to anyone .
Young man , you should know theres always someone better out there .
Your confidence has stirred my competitive spirit ! As the mayor , losing twice was not a big deal .
It was nothing more than a slight blow to his pride .
However , hearing this from a young , unknown doctor brought out a spark of fire in Mark .
He thought that if Andrew believed he could beat him again , the young man would be in for a lesson .
As the host announced the start of the new race over the speakers , ten horses burst onto the track .
This time , Mark had chosen Number Two , the clubs reigning champion .
The other experienced bettors did not hesitate to place heavy bets , on Number Two .
It was clearly the favorite for anyone who knew anything about racing .
However , Andrew chose Number Four , once again going against the crowd .
Number Four may have been good once , but its past its prime .
The club plans to retire it this season .
This idiot is definitely going to lose ! Harvey thought gleefully .
Mark smiled as he explained , Number Four is well past its glory days .
Number Two is a premium stallion imported from abroad thats worth its weight in gold .
Im afraid youve bet on the wrong horse this time ! 1/2 Chapter 70 +18 BONUS As youve said earlier , Mr.
Thatcher the race int over until its over .
Anyone could be the dark horse , Andrew responded confidently .
Dark horse ? Sounds more like a dead horse to me , Dexter mocked .
Dr.
Lloyd , dont worry if we lose this one , Lauren reassured him .
Weve already won twice ! Mark chuckled .
Lauren , youre as cheeky as ever But this time , victory will be mine !
