Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 187

Frank remained silent.

He made a phone call, and soon, several burly bodyguards escorted the man responsible for handling the horses.

“Say it.

Explain what happened.

” Frank asked that man coldly.

The man glanced at Shelia and confessed, “Right before the race, she came to me asking about the club’s most fiery horses.

I informed her about a horse named Lightning, known as the most formidable one here, which no one could control.

After she heard it, she instructed me to replace Lindsey’s horse with Lightning.

Claiming to be the vice president’s girlfriend at Ray Films, she promised a reward of five hundred thousand dollars after it’s done.

I… I was swayed by the promise of money and agreed… Mr.

Hudson, I was misled by her.

Please, forgive me this once,” the man said as he knelt on the floor, pleading for mercy.

Frank looked at Jacob with a stern gaze and said, “Mr.

Perry, your girlfriend has seriously broken our club’s rules and might have even broken the law.

You’re a VIP here, so I won’t get the police involved.

But we have to blacklist your girlfriend and ban her from the club forever.

”

Clutching Jacob’s sleeve, Shelia erupted into tears.

“Mr.

Perry, it’s not me.

How could I do such a thing? It was Lindsey who set up a trap to slander me!”

Lindsey sighed, her eyes rolling in exasperation.

She was weary of Shelia’s repeated accusations and manipulative words.

Jacob’s mind whirled in confusion.

He turned to Frank, seeking clarity.

“Mr.

Hudson, is there a misunderstanding here?”

“Mr.

Perry, are you doubting our club’s capability? We’ve thoroughly investigated this.

As the saying goes, the will of others is not ours to see.

You, too, as a business elite, must be cautious in choosing friends.

Don’t underestimate others,”

Frank replied, his tone laced with mockery.

Jacob, raised in wealth and privilege, felt an unfamiliar sting of humiliation.

Throughout his life, people had always fawned over him, but this experience was different.

His expression darkened as he recalled Shelia’s absence during a period at the competition earlier.

The anger of losing a substantial sum and facing public humiliation surged within him.

He shook off Shelia’s grasp, his eyes reddening with fury.

“No wonder you were so certain Lindsey would lose.

You changed her horse in private, didn’t you?” he accused.

“No, I…”

Shelia attempted to protest, but her words were cut short as Jacob slapped her hard across the face.

“Bitch, how dare you do such a thing in my name! You’ve not only caused me to lose two million but also humiliated me! You jinx! I don’t want to see you again!”

Jacob bellowed before storming off in anger.

“Mr.

Perry!”

Shelia hurriedly tried catching up with Jacob but stumbled, stepping on the hem of her dress and falling hard onto the gravel floor.

A sharp hiss echoed as her dress tore, revealing her thighs, and her knees were scr@ped, blood trickling down.

She cried out in pain, shielding herself awkwardly.

Jacob, however, continued without a backward glance.

As the competition concluded, sympathetic onlookers passed by, casting pitying glances at Shelia.

Amidst them, some took pleasure in the spectacle, whispering and chuckling.
