Chapter 1126
“Blaze… Why did you force yourself? I told you to stop. Why didn’t you listen?”
Jasper stood stiffly by Alyssa’s side, watching the heartbreaking sight of her being deeply distressed for
her horse. His heart ached with her
as well.
She was inherently kind. What he loved most was her pure and kind soul.
The horse trainer quickly arrived and immediately conducted a
detailed examination of Blaze and Alyssa.
Soon, they discovered the problem.
Blaze’s left leg had a long and narrow knife wound!
The wound was located on the backside of its leg, so it was well- concealed. Neither Alyssa nor the
horse trainer noticed it due to the rush to enter the arena.
Moreover, it was evident that this injury was intentional.

significant harm. However, after galloping for miles hysterically, the wound had deteriorated
dramatically.
The pus and its dark fur merged into one, and the injury had become so severe that it was deep
enough to expose the bone.
The situation couldn’t have been worse.
“Give me an explanation!” Alyssa’s eyes were filled with tears, and her voice choked.
“M-Ms. Alyssa, I don’t know… I really don’t know what happened!”

Shocked and terrified, the horse trainer was on the verge of tears.”
When I checked Blaze before the race, there was nothing wrong with him. How could this happen?”
“Lyse, Mr. Atkins has been with our family for a long time. He has always taken great care of the
horses. In over ten years, there has never been any mishap.”
After Jonah’s initial worry, he regained his rationality, and he spoke solemnly, saying, “But accidents
can happen at any time. Moreover,
someone seems to have targeted Blaze deliberately. We were unprepared and couldn’t have defended
against it.”
Alyssa took a deep breath, but her body couldn’t help trembling with
anger.
Jasper kneeled behind her on one knee, lifting his arm to encircle her shoulders and drawing her into
his embrace.
“Lyse, someone must have sneaked into the stable and cut Blaze’s leg before the race, then quickly
fled. Leave everything to me. I’ll find the person who harmed Blaze for you and for him.”
Alyssa was moved. She leaned against his warm chest and sniffled.
She wouldn’t have been so moved if he had only said it was for her. But he had said it for Blaze.
That moved her profoundly. This indicated that they saw all beings as equal. They were both kind and

“The person who did this must have some knowledge about horses.”
Alyssa’s gaze was deep as she calmly analyzed the situation. “The wound was cleverly cut. A bit
shallower wouldn’t have caused such serious harm, but a bit deeper, and I would have noticed it before
entering the race.”

“T-There are so many people in the arena who understand horses. How can we investigate this?” Neil
looked anxious and helpless.
“The person who did this only has two objectives. One is to harm Lyse, in which case we investigate
those who have grudges against Lyse. The other is to harm the Taylors’ horse, intending to make them
lose the race and their qualification to compete.”
Jasper gently rubbed Alyssa’s waist with his palm, his eyes showing a cold glint.
This reasoning pointed directly to the VIP section.
Those who had a grudge against Alyssa and those who sought an opportunity to work with Jesselton
Incorporated were all gathered there, making it a veritable “disaster zone”.
“Of course, there might be others audacious enough to meddle. But given the suddenness of the
incident, we can only consider these two as the most likely motives,” Jasper added coldly.
