Chapter 1077: The Humiliating Race
Her voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
You see, this ice-cold beauty had been silent since entering the racetrack. She had always maintained an attitude of keeping people at arm’s length, making everyone afraid to approach her.
Now, she was unexpectedly siding with Dustin, which was quite surprising.
“Dahlia, why are you helping this guy?” Victoria looked puzzled.
For someone with a cold personality like hers, this behavior was clearly out of character.
“I’m purely curious. I want to see where his confidence to win this horse race comes from,” Dahlia replied nonchalantly.
That’s what she said, but deep down, she felt something odd. Just now, she almost blurted out and instinctively defended this stranger.
It was rather strange.
“Well, since Dahlia is interested, let’s give this guy a chance,” Garrett said politely, smiling.
“Thanks to Dahlia’s support, I’ll give you a chance to lose. Get on your horses!” Morgan mounted Black Dragon, looking down at Dustin with disdain.
With a one million wager handed to them on a silver platter, they were more than happy to oblige.
Dustin gave Dahlia a meaningful look but didn’t say anything. He swung his leg over and climbed onto the dwarf horse.
As the two horses stood side by side, Dustin’s head only reached Morgan’s shoulder, making him almost two heads shorter.
“Hmph! This guy dares to participate? Truly overestimating himself!”
“Using a woman’s money to gamble, how shameless!”
The crowd whispered among themselves, and their gazes towards Dustin were filled with disdain.
It was obvious that he was going to lose, yet he insisted on participating, making a fool of himself.
“Ready—”
After the two contestants were prepared, Garrett, acting as the referee, shouted, “Begin!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Morgan urged Black Dragon forward, and the horse shot out like an arrow, incredibly fast.
On the other hand, Dustin remained calm, holding the reins and leisurely moving forward on the dwarf horse.
His posture didn’t resemble a horse race at all; it looked more like a leisurely stroll.
“What is this guy doing? Why is he walking instead of running? Start running!”
“No matter how fast he runs, he can’t compete with Black Dragon. I think he knows he’s going to lose and is deliberately performing poorly.”
Seeing Dustin riding so slowly, the crowd couldn’t help but point and ridicule. There was scorn, disdain, and mockery in their words, but above all, there was disgust.
Being unable to compete was one thing, but not even trying was another matter altogether. It was entirely about his attitude.
“Dahlia, look at this guy; how despicable!”
Victoria was displeased. “You kindly helped him, and this is how he behaves? He deserves to sell insurance for the rest of his life!”
“Some people will always be mediocre,” Garrett said with a mocking smile.
Dahlia furrowed her brows and remained silent. Her gaze gradually turned cold, and she felt a strange sense of disappointment.
“Shiela, do you see this? This guy is just seeking attention!”
Vivian was indignant. “He doesn’t mind embarrassing himself, but we’re embarrassed!”
“Hmph! He’s so shameless to use a woman’s money for gambling!” Chase scowled.
Shiela bit her lip, her expression complicated.
She didn’t understand why Dustin would deliberately perform poorly.
“Ha-ha-ha… Hey there, can you go faster? I can’t wait any longer!”
After running for a while, Morgan turned around and saw that Dustin was far behind. She stopped her horse and deliberately taunted him.
Dustin remained unfazed. He continued to ride the dwarf horse at a slow pace, gradually closing the gap.
“Hurry up! Run faster! Come on!” Morgan urged continuously, behaving as if she were playing with a cat and mouse.
After several repetitions of this, the onlookers burst into laughter, as if they were watching a clown.
