However, I can’t help but think its a pity.
A distinguished lady like you should at least be with Mr. Thatchers son! Marks expression instantly darkened.
His son had once pursued Lauren, which he had strongly supported, given their equal social standing. However, Lauren had rejected his son without a second thought, a blow to his pride as Jayrodales leader.
Though Mark had eventually accepted the outcome, seeing Lauren with a mere doctor felt like an insult.
It was as if his son was not even as goo Mark said cautiously, Lauren, while we elders sh relationships, given my friendship with the Rho fine to have fun, just don’t take it too seriously.
With that, Mark returned his attention to the rac Bernard shot Kingsley a poisonous glare, his eyes you get for crippling Philip and destroying his fu an insult.
It was as if his son was not even as good as this mere physician.
M?rk said cautiously, Lauren, while we elders shouldnt interfere in young peoples relationships, given my friendship with the Rhodes family, let me give you some advice: its fine to have fun, just don’t take it too seriously
With that, Mark returned his attention to the race, ignoring Kingsley entirely, Bernard shot Kingsley a poisonous glare, his eyes filled with malice as he thought, Thats what you get for crippling Philip and destroying his future!
After they sat down in a corner, Francesca quickly whispered, Lauren, that sneaky Bernard is clearly trying to drive a wedge between Mr. Thatcher and your family.
Lauren shrugged.
Let him try.
Hes a nobody.
If not for Mr. Thatcher, I wouldve slapped him for talking about Kingsley like that.
Francesca turned to Kingsley with disgust.
This is all because of you! Thanks to you, Mr. Thatcher probably doesnt think highly of Lauren anymore! Is Mr. Thatchers approval really that important? Kingsley frowned.
Francesca sneered
Are you actually this clueless or are you just pretending? Hes the mayor of Jayrodale ! Havent you noticed all those people waiting with expensive gifts just to curry his favors ? One word from him can make or break someones fortune in this town.
Lauren intervened, Fran, stop it.
The Rhodes family isnt going to lose a connection over someone like Bernard.
If maintaining good relations with Mr. Thatcher is so important, I might have an idea, Kingsley suddenly commented
What idea? Francesca scoffed, clearly doubting Kingsley had anything worthwhile to contribute.
Before Kingsley could elaborate, Harvey and Hannahs group of four approached the viewing deck. Mr. Thatcher, its been too long! Ah, Harvey, Jayrodales rising star! Now that you’re back home, I trust you’re ready to help contribute to our citys growth, Mark responded warmly.
Absolutely, Mr. Thatcher.
Im always ready to serve our community… Watching Harveys easy rapport with Mark, Francesca glanced at Kingsley and thought there was no comparison.
She decided she needed to have a serious talk with her best friend about dumping Kingsley.
The races reached their climax as Marks favored horse, Number Three, entered the track.
People behind him were eager to stay in his good graces and placed their bets on Number Three with big money, making Mark beam with satisfaction.
Dr. Baldwin, Fran, lets join in the fun.
Things will get more exciting with some bets involved, Lauren suggested enthusiastically.
Caught up in Laurens excitement, Kingsley casually scanned the ten horses and placed his bet on Number Seven
Look at this amateur trying to act like he knows something, Dexter mocked from nearby.
Harvey chuckled condescendingly, Kingsley, Number Seven is a mixed breed.
Cant you tell +26 BONUS that? Those horses are just field fillers.
Mr. Weller, Mr. Combs, why waste time on this nobody? Mark my words Mr. Thatchers pick, Number Three, will take the crown! Bernard chimed in with a smirk.
Everyone around eagerly agreed with Bernard, praising Marks judgment.
Exactly! Mr. Thatchers got a sharp eye Number Three is a guaranteed win! Ive bet 30 thousand dollars following Mr. Thatchers pick.
Its always smart to stay close to someone as wise as him! With everyones praise, Marks smile only grew brighter.
Come Francesca nudged Lauren.
on, lets bet on Number Three too! Lauren chuckled.
No way.
Im sticking with Dr. Baldwin and going for Number Seven ! As the gates opened, all ten horses burst forward.
Number Three took an early lead through the first half, seeming to confirm everyones predictions about Marks expertise.
However, in the second half, Number Seven surged from behind, overtaking Number There and charging toward the finish line
The crowd fell silent in shock as the underdog crossed the finish line first, with the favored Number Three coming in second
Thanks to that bet, Kingsleyturned his modest 15 thousand dollars into over 300 thousand dollars, walking away with an incredible win.
Lauren clapped her hands excitedly
Dr. Baldwin, you’re amazing! Number Seven actually won! Her joyful laughter caused Harvey, Bernard, and their groups faces to darken
However, Mark maintained his composure and smiled.
don’t be discouraged, everyone.
Such is the thrill of horse racing you never know who the dark horse will be until the very end! The mayors words prompted immediate agreement from the crowd.
Well said, Mr. Thatcher ! Absolutely, Mr. Thatcher ! Anyone could be the dark horse! Your insights are truly remarkable ! Lets get ready for the next round.
The game isnt over yet! Stick with Mr. Thatcher, and well be in the winners circle! For the next race, Mark confidently selected Number Five. Lauren turned to Kingsley and asked, Dr. Baldwin, which horse should we choose? Lets go with Number One, Kingsley replied casually. Bernard could not resist a sarcastic comment
Kingsley, are you deliberately going against Mr Thatchers picks? Cant you see how many people trust his judgment? Mark raised his hand, interrupting Bernard, Bernard, everyone is entitled to their own. opinion.
Then, he turned to Kingsley with an amused smile.
Young man, you seem experienced
Lets see if your luck holds up this time.
Kingsley smiled calmly.
Mr. Thatcher, if you’re still betting on Number Five, I’d suggest changing your pick that horse wont win. The crowd erupted in anger.
How dare you question Mr. Thatchers judgment ! Who do you think you are? Youll regret your arrogance ! Mark maintained his composure, simply laughing it off.
I appreciate young people with different perspectives, but I’m confident about this race.
As the gates opened and the horses charged forward, Marks pick, Number Five, started strong. However, midway through the race, it stumbled, throwing its rider and tumbling out of the race.
Meanwhile, Kingsleys choice, Number One, powered through like a bulldozer.
Initially in third place, it surged forward near the finish line, overtaking the lead with ease to claim victory
Dr. Baldwin, you’re incredible! We won again! Lauren cheered.
Kingsley could not help but smile at her genuine excitement.
Harvey, Dexter, and Bernard stood silent, their faces dark.
Mark stared in disbelief as Number Five was carried off the track with a broken leg, and he sighed heavily
Such is life.
One moment you’re on top, the next you’re struggling through hardship, Mark commented.
Bernard could not accept defeat.
Mr. Thatcher, lets try one more race
Everyone knows you’re the best at horse racing in Jayrodale.
Thats right, Harvey and his group chimed in.
A couple of races doesnt mean anything.
Please lead us to victory again, Mr. Thatcher ! Encouraged by their support, Mark laughed heartily.
Very well, I’ll join you for one more match.
Victory comes to those who persevere ! Such inspiring words!, With this spirit, victory is certain ! Nothing could stop Mr. Thatcher this time! The crowd cheered and applauded enthusiastically.
It was as though they were trying to erase the memory of their two consecutive losses through sheer volume alone.
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.
Kingsley, I challenge you on behalf of Mr. Thatcher ! Harvey declared.
don’t 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. Baldwin, 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, Kingsley 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 Kingsley dared to speak so boldly in front of Mark
Meanwhile, Hannah watched Kingsley with newfound interest, surprised to discover this confident, daring side of him.
