So, someone purposely inserted it into Gale’s head. “Seriously? Could this guy be telling the truth?” Everyone turned to look atJayden, waiting for an explanation.
“Now that I’ve found the evidence, what else do you have to say?” asked Dustin. Then, he flicked the needle and sent it flying. Itlanded near Jayden’s feet. “What do you mean? Are you suspecting me?” Jayden frowned.‘lI’ve no idea who did this. But | canswear that | haven't done anything to harm Sheila!” Dustin replied indifferently, “Yeah, keep up with the act.
“Just moments ago, your sister admitted you were the only one who touched Gale. Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?” Yes, |did touch Gale. But that doesn’t mean | inserted this needle,” Jayden answered. “Perhaps someone had already inserted theneedle before we arrived.”That’s right! Sheila has a lot of enemies, and they’re always targeting her,” Roxanne chimed in.“There have been frequent kidnappings and assassination attempts. I’m not surprised that someone would target Gale!”Dustinscoffed. “You guys sure can give a reason for everything.” Jayden’s expression turned serious, and he turned to Shelia. “Sheila,you know me best. Do you think I’m the kind of person who would harm you?”“Of course not. Jayden has always been very niceto me. How could he harm me? This must be a misunderstanding, “Sheila muttered while repeatedly shaking her head.Hercousin had always been gentle and kind. Jayden had never done anything bad. Sheila did not think he was a bad person.Jaydensaid coldly, “Did you hear that? Sheila and | are very close. Don’t try to stir things up between us.” “Sheila, you should alwayskeep your guard up,” Dustin reminded.He was not expecting to prove that Jayden was guilty with just a needle.

He’s trying to ruin our relationship,” Jayden declared.“You're better off without a friend like him!”After listening to their argument, Sheila tried to smooth things over. Calm down, guys.It was just an accident. Let's not let this incident ruin our friendship.”One was her cousin, while the other was her savior. Sheilafelt awkward as she was caught in between them. “Forget it. For Sheila’s sake, | won’t hold it against you this time.“But one moreword of nonsense from you, then | won’t hold back,” Jayden threatened. Dustin almost exposed him for pretending to care aboutSheila. Jayden could not help but feel frustrated.Suddenly, Vivian spoke up, “Wait a second. Since someone tampered with Gale,this race should be declared void. We can’t consider it as Sheila had lost.?That'’s right! Under normal circumstances, Gale had abetter chance of winning,” Evan and the others chimed in. Roxanne pursed her lips. “Hmph! There will always be unexpectedevents during a horserace.“So, a loss is still a loss. What's with all this nonsense?” “Let it go, Roxanne. We're a family, after all.Our relationship is more important. Return Gale to Sheila.” Jayden spoke up as well.“Why should |?” Roxane asked with herhead tilted. “She should honor her bet! | won Gale fair and square! Why should | return him to her?”She had been eyeing Galefor a long time. After all, it was a fine horse. After going to great lengths to obtain Gale, Roxanne was reluctant to returnit.“Roxanne, be nice. Give Gale back to Sheila. I'll get you another fine horse in a couple of days,” Jayden tried to convinceRoxanne.‘I don’t want anything else but Gale!” Roxanne was stubborn.
