Juniper was in the middle of adjusting her reins, trying to make peace with her horse, when a piercing scream shattered the air.


    "Ahhh-"


    On one side was a crazed horse carrying a hysterical Ynda.


    "Juniper-"


    "Ms. Payne-"


    On the other side were the frantic shouts of the guests and crew.


    Juniper''s eyes narrowed slightly. Her gaze fell on Ynda''s "panicked" face, and a knowing smile touched her lips. *With acting skills that bad, she actually thinks she can make it in entertainment?*


    "Ms. Payne, get off the horse!" a trainer yelled. He had just stepped away and was now scrambling back, but he tripped and fell in his haste.


    "Juniper..." Realizing something was terribly wrong, Jimmie started to run onto the field, but a staff member grabbed him.


    "Jimmie, it''s too dangerous!" the crewman exined hurriedly. "A spooked horse is incredibly strong. You could get trampled! Our staff is already on it, please don''t worry."


    "Get off me!" Jimmie shoved the man aside, tossed his phone and jacket to the ground, and sprinted into the arena without a second thought. He didn''t care about being trampled. All he knew was that if Juniper got hurt, he would never forgive himself.


    "Juniper, can you hear me? Get off the horse!" Miranda''s voice was nearly hoarse from shouting, but Juniper didn''t move a muscle. *Is her earpiece broken?*


    "Miranda, this is bad!" a staffer cried, his heart in his throat as the out-of-control horse closed in on Juniper. It was over. A terrible ident was about to happen.


    Meanwhile, online viewers were in an uproar.


    [Why did the horse suddenly go crazy? And it''s heading right for Juniper!]


    [Is she frozen in fear? What is she doing just sitting there?]


    [She can''t even ride, but she had to act tough and send the trainers away. Now that there''s a problem, I bet she''ll me the show.]


    [Excuse me, how is this Juniper''s fault? Isn''t this clearly Ynda''s problem?]


    [Ynda is supposed to be a great rider, so why can''t she control one horse? I seriously suspect she did this on purpose.]


    [What proof do you have that Ynda did it on purpose?] Ynda''s fans rushed to her defense. [Ynda is terrified too, okay? She''s even worried about Juniper!]


    The inte was a battlefield, with rival fans ready to tear each other apart. The atmosphere on set was even more tense. Everyone watched in horror as the charging horse galloped toward Juniper.


    It was over.


    Just as everyone was certain Juniper was about to be seriously injured, the girl who had been sitting motionlessly on her horse suddenly yanked the reins hard.


    The horse reared back, its neck


    arching high as it lifted its front


    hooves. Then, with a leap that stunned everyone, it cleared the nearbyfence and took off, galloping freely around the arena traced and jumped over obstacles, each


    movement executed with


    breathtaking grace and power. It looked like a spectacr, professionally shot scene from an action movie.


    "What the "


    turn


    The sudden turn of events left everyone on set utterly shocked, their minds reeling. They weren''t seeing things, were they? The girl riding with such wild abandon was this really the same Juniper who, ording to Ynda, “couldn''t ride" and was "traumatized by horses"?


    Who said she couldn''t ride? She rode like a seasoned champion! The scene felt


    more like a professional equestrianpetition—it was absolutely epic!


    "Ahhh-" Ynda shrieked, her n


    in tatters. She hadn''t expected Juniper to dodge so spectacrly


    and now her own horse about


    to crash into the opposite fence. True fear finally gripped her, and she desperately pulled on the reins, trying to halt the runaway animal.
