A Girl Buys a Dying Horse at Auction, But No One Expected What Happened Next…

A ruthless millionaire discarded his championship racehorse after a devastating injury, claiming it was nothing but a liability. In an unexpected turn of events, a determined seventeen-year-old girl discovered the abandoned animal and devoted herself to its recovery.
