Chapter 307 Someone Bullying Ethan
Another week had passed, and the situation at the J&K Group had gradually stabilized.
Antonio and Sarah were no longer as busy as before, and they could finally find time to see each other.
Sarah went to Antonio's office during her free time, where he was busy with some documents. She didn't want to disturb him and instead made herself a cup of coffee. As she looked at the picture of Serene hanging on the wall, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
It had been quite some time since Serene last visited Antonio for work matters. She seemed to have been keeping a low profile.
With the stable situation at the J&K Group, Antonio and Sarah no longer needed to be at the company every day. Coincidentally, their children had an equestrian class at the kindergarten, and parents were required to accompany them, so they went to the horse-riding facility.
When the manager of the facility heard that Antonio had personally come, he put aside all his tasks and rushed to greet him. "Mr. Valencia, why didn't you inform us earlier? We would have sent a car to pick you up. Having you here certainly adds prestige to our place."
Antonio's reputation was well-known. If they could get his investment or establish a connection with him, it would be like reaching the sky in a single bound.
"This must be the young heir. He truly is talented," the manager said.
Antonio was used to such flattery and responded coldly, "Don't delay the children's class."
The manager didn't dare to say anything more and instructed his subordinates to choose the best pony for Ethan. This horse facility was a partner of the kindergarten, established to facilitate the children's equestrian classes. The ponies they raised were exclusively for the children's use. After all, it was an aristocratic kindergarten.
Every child had their own pony, but Ethan was a latecomer and didn't have one of his own.
"Son, do you like it?" Antonio's attitude towards Ethan was completely different from his cold demeanor earlier.
Ethan nodded, and Brian, who was secretly watching everything through the camera, thought, 'Taking credit for others' efforts!'
The equestrian class soon began, and Antonio and Sarah sat in the exclusive VIP seats, waiting.
"Children, do you remember what we learned in the last lesson about mounting the horse? Do you all remember?" the teacher asked.
"No!"
"You kids are amazing! Today, we will take a walk on the field while riding the horses. Make sure to observe carefully."
...
After the class ended, the teachers called for the parents to come and see the children's progress while the horse facility prepared for the next class.
Antonio had originally planned to check out Ethan's skills, but he received a phone call—another work-related matter—and reluctantly had to answer it.
Ethan felt thirsty but couldn't find his water bottle.
"Mommy, my water bottle is in the car. Can you get it for me?"
"Sure, wait here for me," Sarah replied as she tousled Ethan's hair and headed to the parking lot.
Not far away, a little girl named Mia, who was also attending the class, couldn't take her eyes off Ethan. She blinked and watched him intently.
Since Ethan's arrival at kindergarten, he had garnered high esteem from the girls in his class, particularly Mia, who was completely infatuated with him.
Mia mustered up the courage to approach Ethan and strike up a conversation. "Ethan, you can ride horses? You seem really talented, unlike me. I'm a bit scared.".
"It's okay," Ethan replied.
In reality, Ethan was very skilled at horse riding. He learned with Brian back when they were abroad.
Mia's face flushed with a hint of redness as she warmly conversed with Ethan, disregarding whether Ethan replied or not.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a girl named Emily angrily watched this scene.
Emily used to be Mia's closest playmate before Ethan arrived, but Mia's attention was focused solely on him since he came.
This made Emily resent Ethan for a long time.
Initially, Emily had planned to have fun with Mia during today's equestrian class, but unexpectedly, Ethan stole the spotlight again.
"Hey, Ethan!" Emily walked over, gripping her small horsewhip. "I saw you riding quite well during the equestrian class, dare to compete with me?"
Ethan couldn't be bothered and replied, "No."
This cold attitude further infuriated Emily. "What? Are you scared?"
Ethan did not intend to deal with this arrogant person before him. Although he was good at horse riding, he didn't want to stand out.
Besides, what's so great about being good at horse riding?
He was capable of many things but didn't need to show off everything.
"I said nocomparison." Ethan turned around and began brushing his horse's coat.
Seeing Ethan ignoring her, Emily became even more aggressive. "You're such a coward. I bet you can't do anything. Mia, why don't you play with me instead of that coward? It's so disgraceful."
Mia remained silent, her eyes still fixed on Ethan.
Emily couldn't stand it and lashed out at Ethan's horse with her whip.
Ethan was genuinely angry this time. He glared at Emily and sternly reprimanded her, "What are you doing?!"
"Hmph! Since you don't dare to compete with me, what's wrong with me giving him a whip?" Emily retorted.
"Fine, I'll compete with you. If you lose, you have to apologize to my horse," Ethan didn't want to engage with Emily initially, but she provoked him verbally and even physically attacked his horse. It was unforgivable.
"Apologize? If I win, you have to... kneel down and apologize to me!" Emily, whom her family had spoiled since childhood, was accustomed to her arrogance and believed that making others kneel down and apologize to her was normal.
Ethan fell silent and swiftly climbed onto his horse.
"Go, Ethan!" Mia waved and cheered for Ethan.
"Charge!" Ethan commanded, and his horse rushed forward effortlessly, smoothly reaching the finish line.
On the other hand, Emily was still struggling with her own horse. Not only did she fail to reach the finish line, but she also nearly fell off her horse.
It was Ethan who emerged victorious in this contest.
"Apologize to my horse," Ethan said coldly.
Emily, who originally wanted to save face, lost her dignity instead. Disregarding the previous bet, she swung her fist and struck Ethan!
