Chapter 426

The construction of the Northern Suburb’s racecourse looked to be almost complete. All that is left was
the importation of horses. After that, the racecourse would be open for business.

Amongst the three business partners, only Sage and Yoel came, Jace was nowhere to be seen.

The plan was for Yoel to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the racecourse. After all,
over 80 percent of the racecourses in Riverside City are managed by the Fulton family. The Fulton
family has all the required connections and sources to run a successful racecourse.

Everybody stood on the grass under the blazing sun, most were dressed down in casual clothes,
sneakers, sunglasses, and their bodyguards were by their side holding up an umbrella to block off the
sun.

When they walked around the racecourse, Yoel took the time to explain things the others,” The horses
arriving today are mostly ponies. We have some Debao ponies and some Shetland ponies that were
originally meant for my dad’s racecourse. I took all but two of his ponies.”

Sage raised her eyebrows, “Your dad is fine with this?”

“Of course not! He was furious and accused me of betraying my family for some woman that isn’t even
my wife!” said Yoel. He could still feel the slight pain emanating from his back where he was struck by
his father’s cane. “He wasn’t wrong though, my marriage is more important, that’s why I asked him,
which is more important, my marriage or his ponies.” Melody was nodding along to the conversation
when she suddenly poked her head out, “So, what was your father’s answer?” Yoel pointed to the
stables, “That was his answer.” Everybody could see the ponies that were in the stable. Melody’s gaze
followed Yoel’s finger and saw the ponies grazing in the stables. Her eyes lit up as she walked up to the
stables, “Wow, they’re so cute!” The ponies looked petite and resembled a pet more than an actual



horse. Yoel walked over to the stable and saw the glittering eyes of Melody. He smiled and said, “Pick
one, I’ll give it to you.” “Really?” said Melody, her eyes lighting up with glee. Melody had always been
treated like a princess by everybody around her, she wasn’t going to act coy now that Yoel said that he
would give her a pony. She pointed to a spotted black pony,” I’ll take this one! It looks like Ross!” Sage
couldn’t help but feel sorry for Ross. If he were here he would have been furious from such a comment.
However, when Sage took a closer look at the pony Melody chose. It really did look kind of similar to
Ross…

Not long after, everybody was already in their gear and was ready to ride around the course. Leah had
never been on a horse before, so she dared not to sit on one. As such, Hunter picked out a pony for
her and helped her get on. Even after getting on a pony, Leah was still quite unfamiliar with horse riding
and she seemed to always be on the verge of falling off the pony. Hunter couldn’t help but grin when he
saw how tight Leah was holding onto the reins. “Don’t worry, you won’t fall down. Relax and enjoy the
ride,” encouraged Hunter. Melody was the opposite of Leah; she looked confident and poised. She got
on the pony she picked out earlier and started spurring on her pony, “Come on Ross, let’s go!”

Even if the ponies looked small, they were still quite adept at running and their stamina was not
something to laugh at. The pony immediately started galloping around the course with that one prompt.
Both Sage and Yoel had prior experience with horse riding and they naturally got on a horse. Ponies
were pets to them and not meant for serious riding. After all, it would be a shame to come to a
racecourse and not ride an actual horse. As such, they each picked out a horse and had them be led
out of the stables by the employees. Yoel had his full gear on, clad in black and white, he looked
impressive and smart. Yoel looked at Sage who wore red and white gear and looked equally good. He
said to Sage, “Want to race?” “Sure,” replied Sage nonchalantly. Just as Yoel was about to laugh, a
sudden cry for help rang throughout the course. “Help! Help!” Looking at the source of the cries, one
could see Melody holding on to the reins for dear life as her pony galloped at full speed, tearing through



the course. Since it was Melody’s first time on a pony, she had no idea how to control her steed and
she looked like she was on the verge of falling off!
