Chapter 926 - Horse Betting

Instead of answering Avrora, Wen Xinya said nonchalantly, “Everyone knows that I’m wearing the matriarchal token of Lucifer on my right earlobe. It represents the immeasurable power, authority, status and wealth that Lucifer possesses. Not everyone can hold their value.”

She spoke calmly in an unhurried manner, her voice as clear as a lake.

Compared to her calmness, Avrora was much more impatient and eager. She barked. “Just get straight to the point. You have your eyes on something in the residence, don’t you!?!”

Avrora thought to herself, She must be superficial and shallow, so much that she has never seen things of superior quality before. She’s just making use of the opportunity to reap some benefits. However, only the capable ones can reap the benefits.

Duke Moville was the one who taught her how to ride horses and she had never lost an equestrian competition within the upper-class society before. She had a good reputation, also because of her impeccable equestrian skills.

She did not think that Wen Xinya, whom she found to be a country bumpkin, could be good at horse-riding.

Wen Xinya chuckled and said, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay the price I’m interested in, Miss Avrora.”

She chuckled in a derisive manner, and her laughter was amplified in the silent environment.

As an aristocrat who had been the center of attention and adoration ever since she was a child, Avrora obviously couldn’t take the mockery and contempt that she was subjected to. She flew into a rage and retorted. “Miss Bella, you’re just intentionally trying to avoid competing with me. Haha… what a joke. How could you still have the cheek to call yourself Lucifer’s matriarch? I feel so ashamed for Rex.”

Her constant refusal made Avrora feel more confident in her own equestrian skills, and she was even more bent on competing with Wen Xinya.

Infuriated by her words, Wen Xinya screeched sternly in a higher-pitched voice. “Does that mean that you’re bent on competing with me, Miss Avrora?”

Avrora sneered. “So what?”

In her eyes, Wen Xinya had been enraged and provoked by her words, but was not willing to step up to compete with her. She viewed Wen Xinya with greater disdain.

Glowering at her, Wen Xinya taunted. “Do you dare say in front of everyone that you’re willing to compete with me regardless of the stake?”

“Why not?” Staring at Wen Xinya, Avrora found her to be blowing her own trumpet, for she felt that Wen Xinya would have agreed straightforwardly if she really had what it took, instead of dragging it on. She continued loudly, “Today, I’m going to have a horse-riding competition with Miss Bella. I seek all of you here to be my witness.”

Flabbergasted, the wealthy heiresses exclaimed, “Miss Avrora, show this yellow-skinned chicken what you’re made of!”

Everyone’s cheering made Avrora feel extremely confident.

Wen Xinya sneered. “Sure, bring the document about the transfer and aristocratic privileges that Duke Moville has signed. We’ll take that as a stake and begin the competition immediately.”

Wen Xinya shot Liu Yanhua a glance and she left sneakily.

Everyone was astonished, especially Avrora, who stared at Wen Xinya in disbelief. “I bet you just don’t want to compete with me. That’s why you’re making such an unreasonable request! Disgusting chicken skin, you’re too sly and cunning.”

The aristocrats wouldn’t take those documents out casually and currently, the only people who had access to the document were Duke Moville and the Ivanov Family.

Avrora thought to herself, This bitch Bella must be too afraid to compete with me. That’s why she made such an unreasonable request, just so she can avoid the competition.

Wen Xinya giggled and said, “The matriarchal token that represents Lucifer’s high status and power can only be compared to the document that has been sealed by Duke Moville himself. In that case… does that mean that you’re going to go back on your word about competing with me regardless of the stake, Miss Avrora?”

It was not up to her to back out at this point.

Since Avrora wanted to make her embarrass herself, she shall retaliate and shame her in front of all the upper-class individuals of Russia.

Avrora bit her lips tightly and glanced at the other socialites and wealthy heiresses around her, all of whom were staring at her with a look of disdain. She could not tolerate it at all.

If she were to refuse to compete, she would have made herself become a laughing stock because she would be breaking her promise and bringing shame to the entire Duke Moville Residence. As the greatest beauty of Russia and the princess of the upper-class society, how could she possibly afford to embarrass herself? She still had to maintain her status in the upper-class society.

However…. she truly could not manage to take out the document. How could Duke Moville allow her to put their family’s interest at risk?

Bella is so sly to have plotted against me and laid such a terrible trap for me. I’m just stuck in a bad spot now.

Wen Xinya sneered, her voice as menacing as a whip. “You’re a blue-blood aristocratic Russian and yet, you’re going back on your word. Clearly, the Moville Family doesn’t have good manners. Since you’re not willing to compete, we shall call it off, Miss Avrora.”

Greatly agitated by Wen Xinya’s words, the hot-headed Avrora immediately exclaimed, “Who said… that I’m not going to compete with you!?! Your request is just too unreasonable. Name something else and I’ll do it.”

What a joke. I would be embarrassing myself and my family if I were to call off the competition.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “Seems like you’re not that sincere, Miss Avrora. Please tell me what else is as valuable as the matriarchal earring on my earlobe apart from that document?”

Avrora was at a loss for words. Her earring was indeed very significant and valuable. She murmured, “But… I don’t have the document of transferral. We wouldn’t be able to make it in time…”

She was intentionally trying to come up with an excuse.

Wen Xinya grabbed the document from Liu Yanhua and said, “Miss Avrora, you don’t have to go to that extent. I’ve already drafted the agreement. You just have to get Duke Moville to stamp his signature on it.”

When she shot Liu Yanhua a glance just now, she was just hinting for Liu Yanhua to go look for Gu Yuehan in secret and prepare the document so that Wen Xinya could use it to embarrass Avrora.

At this moment, Avrora finally realized that there was no way out for her. She swallowed her saliva and stared at the document, unable to find any more excuses.

The wealthy heiresses and socialites began gossiping amongst themselves and making comments about the matter, causing Avrora to feel utterly embarrassed. “Miss Bella, you’re just being a big bully.”
