He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 214

**TITLE: A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 214: Taming the Wild Horse**

Eugene’s demeanor shifted dramatically as he absorbed Chloe’s choice. The lightness in the air vanished, replaced by a weighty seriousness.

“Let’s not go with that one,” Landon interjected, urgency lacing his voice. “Every single one of these imported purebreds has a well-documented lineage. The seller included that extra horse for free because we paid significantly more than the asking price. But its bloodline is tainted with wild mustang genes. It’s unpredictable, hasn’t undergone proper evaluation, and it’s definitely not suited for racing.”

Chloe’s smile widened, a spark of mischief in her eyes. “Let’s treat this as a challenge. How can you be so certain it’s unsuitable without giving it a fair chance?”

“Chloe, I—”

“I choose that one,” she declared, her voice resolute. “A horse with a wild spirit sounds much more intriguing.”

“But—”

“I’ll take full responsibility for my decision,” she interrupted, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Landon’s expression shifted to one of helplessness as he glanced at Eugene, seeking guidance. With the boss present, the ultimate choice lay with him.

Eugene stepped forward, his voice dropping to a serious tone. “That horse is fierce. It doesn’t even have a name yet. None of our handlers have been able to tame it. Its behavior remains erratic. Are you absolutely sure you want to proceed with this?”

“If others have failed to tame it, that only fuels my desire to try harder,” Chloe replied, her eyes sparkling with determination. A slight smile danced on her lips as she met Eugene’s gaze. “The more challenging it is, the more it proves worth pursuing, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Very well,” Eugene conceded with a curt nod, signaling the staff to bring the horse forward.

As Eugene’s approval echoed in the air, Landon sidled up to Chloe, speaking in a hushed tone. “We can let you interact with it, but when it comes to the race… let’s not push it. I’m genuinely worried—”

“Are you suggesting I can’t handle her?” Chloe shot back, her confidence unwavering.

Landon fell silent, caught off guard by the fierce determination in her eyes. For a moment, he felt his concerns dissipate, realizing he might be overreacting.

Without waiting for further discussion, Chloe strode forward, anticipation coursing through her veins as she awaited the staff to bring the horse.

The moment they entered the stall, it was evident that the horse had a fiery temperament. It fidgeted restlessly, pawing at the ground, shifting from side to side, and snorting in protest as if protesting the intrusion.

Soon, they led it out. As the striking pure white horse approached, a palpable tension filled the air; the other five horses shifted uncomfortably, their instincts sensing the wild energy, while only Gale remained relatively composed.

“Let go of the lead rope,” Chloe commanded the staff member, stepping forward with an air of authority.

The staff member hesitated, anxiety evident in his eyes as he glanced at Eugene for reassurance. After receiving a firm nod, he reluctantly released the reins.
