Chapter 215
Kemp felt like he was gonna puke.
With a poker face. Theo casually lifted the whip in his hand and gave it a hearty swing
The whip landed on the backside of Jonah’s horse. The next second, the horse darted off, Jonah and all,
Jonah, unable to control his startled horse, could only shout from a distance, “Theo! It was just a joke, man! How could you do this to me?
Theo stowed his whip, his face as impassive as ever.
Bartlett chuckled softly, “Theo, Kemp, shall we continue our match over there?”
Kemp nodded, “Let’s go.”
Theo responded indifferently, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to Ellinor. Her match with the others had already begun.
She was galloping towards the woods, currently in the lead.
Theo, Kemp, and Bartlett headed to the equestrian field to have a friendly competition to kill some time.
Soon, Jonah came back on his horse, cursing the three of them as he joined in
And so, more than an hour passed
Ellinor, Belinda, Byran, and Haillie hadn’t returned from their race.
Though the Mountain Racecourse was huge, there was only one grassland and one forest suitable for horse racing.
Even if they had been racing all this time, they should have returned by now.
Even if they weren’t tired, the horses must have been
As Theo jumped over an obstacle in the field on his horse, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease and rubbed his furrowed brows.
At that moment, several figures on horseback appeared in the distance.
They were back.
But, there were only three horses and three people.
As they got closer, he saw clearly that it was Belinda, Byran, and Haillie.
Ellinor was missing
After a sharp look around the trio, Theo asked in a low voice, “Where is she?”
Belinda looked up, her face pale and tear–streaked, “Uncle Theo, Ellinor…”
Theo immediately asked, “What happened to her?”
Belinda broke down, crying. “We were racing, and Ellinor came in first. We were all tired, so we dismounted to rest under the trees in the woods.
When we decided to head back, Ellinor got back on her horse, Yvette. Suddenly, Yvette got wild and took off with Ellinor.
The three of us quickly followed, but Yvette was too fast! We couldn’t catch up!
Eventually, we found a calmed down Yvette near the edge of a cliff on the mountain, but Ellinor was nowhere to be found. It seems like she might have fallen off the cliff.” Byran’s shoulders were trembling, guilt was written all over his face, “Theo, I’m sorry…”
Haillie, the oldest of the group, was comparatively calm. With a regretful look, she sighed, ‘Theo, Byran, and I both warned Ellinor not to ride that horse today, but she didn’t listen to us. She thought she could handle Yvette; we didn’t expect this to happen.”
Theo didn’t have the patience for Haillie’s rambling. With a stern face, he whipped the reins, turned his horse around, and galloped off towards the cliff.
This was serious. A life was on the line!
Jonah, Kemp, and Bartlett also quickly got on their horses and followed Theo to check out the situation.
