She quickly took out her phone and tapped her fingers on the screen to text Ashton. At the same time,
Chris approached Amelie’s car and asked cautiously, “Amelie, would you like to join the next Speedway
Race?”Dash hadn’tpeted in majorpetitions in a long time and as a result, all racing
competitions were bing increasingly lifeless.As such, Chris genuinely wanted the other racers to
be able to witness and relive Dash’s capabilities, just like what he did today.The Speedway Race was
the country’s greatest andrgest racingpetition which would be held not long after.Faced with
Chris’ invitation, she tossed her long hair behind her shoulders. With her head cradled in her palms,
she murmured with uncertainty, “Let’s see.”Racing was just a hobby for her. It was something she did
for fun in her spare time.He was captivated by her adorable demeanor and he secretly eximed in his
heart how charming she was once more.However, he knew Amelie must have had her reasons. Hence,
he did not push any further and merely made a salute gesture to her before walking away.Amelie then
got ready to start her car.“Wait!”Just as her car was about to speed away, Ashton appeared.Amelie’s
car would have hit him if she hadn’t stepped on the brakes quickly enough.After the car stopped, she
did not say anything and simply stared at Ashton.“Let’s race for another round!” he suggested as he
ruffled his hair.When Chris heard that, he assumed Ashton was simply refusing to admit defeat. “Mr.
Lowe, you don’t have to be too upset over losing to Dash. I lost to her as well,” he said.With Ashton’s
skills, he would never win against Amelie no matter how many rounds theypeted.Hence, Chris did
not want Ashton to be embarrassed again. “Amelie has to go back earlier.”Truth was, Ashton did not
want to race against Amelie again as he knew he would lose, but that was what Elyse wanted.He had
no idea why she had requested this. All he knew was that his goddess had asked him to do so, and he
had to abide by her wishes so that he wouldn’t be less respected again.But he was too embarrassed to
even raise his head. With his head bowed, he kicked the gravel on the ground and muttered, “This
time, it’ll be just the two of us and a more difficult route!”“I’ll race on her behalf!” Chris said at this point
since his skills were enough to defeat Ashton.Furthermore, Chris was the one who invited Amelie
today. Of course, he wouldn’t allow Ashton to do what he pleased at her expense.However, Ashton
pushed Chris away. Putting his hands on Amelie’s car bumper, he challenged, “You either race me
again or run your car over me!”Amelie just stared at him coldly. Is he threatening me now? Why is
Elyse so concerned about my eyes? What exactly does she want to know?Despite her reservations,
she responded, “Your life is priceless, Mr. Lowe. How could I run over you? If you insist on another
race, I’ll oblige.”She was curious to see what other tricks Elyse coulde up with.Hearing that she
was open to another round, Ashton backed away in satisfaction as he finally fulfilled his goddess’
request.However, Amelie’s voice rang out once more as she said, “But I can’t race with you again for
nothing. In a general race, I can at least win some money. Mr. Lowe, are you not going to show me
your sincerity?”“Sincerity, you say?” Ashton went on disdainfully, “If you win, I’ll pay you 150,000.”He
wasn’t going to offer more because he knew he would lose to her.Amelie curled her lips mockingly
when she heard that. Such a sum was not even worth considering.“Instead of money, Mr. Lowe, why
don’t you offer the woman you like to carry my shoes for two days if I win?”That rendered Ashton
speechless.Elyse, too, was stumped for words. In fact, she was furious. Is Amelie hinting that I am only
worthy to carry her shoes? Oh, how I wish to p her right now!Her body trembled with rage and she
red at Amelie.At this point, Amelie cast a casual nce in Elyse’s direction and curled her lips
profoundly.She knows I am here! Elyse gasped as she finally realized Amelie had known she was in
this ce all along. She has been ying with me since earlier!After smiling in Elyse’s direction,
Amelie turned her head back and said, “I’m just kidding, Mr. Lowe. Don’t take it to heart. What I want
are the few schrs you have. If you lose, please turn them over to me.”Amelie had no idea how, but
Elyse had learned that Amelie was establishing a learning tform. Following that, Elyse had asked
Ashton to forbid a few schrs from working with Amelie, particrly those from economic and
business backgrounds at reputable universities with whom Amelie had wanted to coborate.Faced
with such a term, Ashton was in a dilemma again. Elyse intended to prevent the schrs from working
with Amelie. If he agreed to Amelie’s terms on his own now…“Mr. Lowe, if you don’t agree with my
terms, I will not race with you even if it means giving up my car,” Amelie added.As such, Ashton had no
choice but to nod and say, “Deal!”Elyse had requested for him to have another race with Amelie at all
costs. Therefore, he had to see it through, no matter what it took.With this, the terms of the race were
settled.Ashton then stood in front of the car and made a phone call. Not long after, the sound of
equipment rubbing against the quiet racetrack echoed.ck pilings appeared on the originally t
racetrack. They were arranged irregrly and because the surrounding area was dark, the pilings were
difficult to see.In no time, the entire racetrack was filled with countless pilings.Amelie immediately
understood what Ashton meant. With her lips curved, she said, “Do you mean for me to avoid all these
pilings, Mr. Lowe? There are a lot of them and visibility is poor at night. We might have an
ident.”“This is only the basic setup. The pilings will change after eachp. Since you’ve already set
your terms, shouldn’t you ept my challenge as well?” Ashton said unnaturally. “Oh, and you have to
finish the race within the same time you did earlier, or you’ll be considered to have lost.”“Well, it
appears that you really want me to get into an ident,” Amelie murmured as she blinked. Despite
saying so, she agreed to it.Then, she drove her car to the racetrack and blindfolded herself once
again.Chris came nearer and muttered in a worried tone, “This… Amelie, I don’t think you should join
this.”The racetrack was already dangerous enough on its own, let alone with Amelie being
blindfolded.Though he did not know why Amelie wanted to blindfold herself, he felt that she wasn’t
doing it just to show off her skills.“Do you want me to dissuade Mr. Lowe?”In light of the increased
difficulty, it was impossible for Amelie to finish the race within the same time as earlier.“It’s okay,” she
responded nonchntly. “Even though this is my first time racing in this manner, it is always fun to
try.”Chris became even more concerned when she said such words.Such a trial would be fatal.Ashton,
who was on the other side, was already mming the honks to signal Amelie to get ready.With this,
Amelie sat up straight before putting both hands on the steering wheel and her foot on the
elerator.Elyse wants me to die in an ident, I suppose? Well, I’ll let her see with her own eyes
whether or not I’ll die!A loud bell was heard over the loudspeaker, signaling the start of the race.
Amelie’s car sped away, leaving only Chris behind, his clothes blown about by the wind from the
car.Chris had his brows tightly furrowed. He was now kicking himself for organizing the race tonight.It
was dangerously dark. Ashton was the young master of the Lowe Family while Amelie was Chris’
highly respected racer. He couldn’t even begin to imagine if any of them had an ident.Truth was, he
favored Amelie, especially since she was racing with her eyes blindfolded.When her car’s engine
started, he could feel his chest tighten as he clenched his fists, staring at Amelie’s car without
blinking.It was the most nerve-racking race he had ever seen in his racing career.“Turn, turn, turn, or
you’ll crash on it!” Chris yelled repeatedly. He felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest
whenever he saw Amelie’s car about to collide with the pilings.Every time she managed to dodge them,
he would exhale a deep breath of relief.Though Amelie performed admirably and avoided all of the
piles with agility, the increase in difficulty prevented her from maintaining her speed in the earlier
race.That meant she wouldn’t be able to cross the finish line as quickly as she had in the previous
round.Realizing this, Chris couldn’t help but sigh.In the blink of an eye, Amelie hadpleted two
laps.He quickly looked at his watch. She is four seconds slower than in the previous round. With her
current speed, she would be at least ten seconds slower than earlier by the time she reached the finish
line. Even though she is faster than Ashton, she will still lose the bet!Chris heaved a sigh as he thought
about this. Suddenly, he heard a booming sound, which caused the entire ground to vibrate slightly.He
lifted his head to see what was happening. Then, he saw the red car that had been moving at a
constant speed earlier picking up speed and elerating into a bend as fast as a rocket.It was so fast
that itpletely startled him.“Oh, my God!” Chris yelled, his eyes red. He had never seen anyone
race at such speed.The car was flying at least one hundred meters in a single second, or even in the
blink of an eye!Is that lightning speed? She has driven for twops in just three to five blinks! No
ordinary person can achieve such a speed on a t racetrack, but she does it wlessly even when the
surroundings are dark and there are so many pilings in her way! She’s so terrifying!Chris finally realized
that the two to three seconds that hegged behind her earlier were what she spared him—it wasn’t
her true capability.If she had driven like how she was behind the wheel now, he would have been at
least twenty seconds behind her!Twenty seconds was an insurmountable hurdle for a racer.Chris was
so stunned that he copsed to the ground.Within the next few seconds, Amelie hadpleted her
fourthp.There was only onep left.She couldn’t see anything and all she could hear was the wind
passing through her ears.Her highly efficient phone was reporting the obstacles in front of her with
increased speed, and she needed to react in one-tenth of a second.This was genuinely thrilling for
her!“The entire path is blocked fifty meters ahead!” the phone broadcasted suddenly.The entire path is
blocked? What does that mean? Amelie froze for a brief moment. It’s impossible to have the pilings set
in this manner in normal circumstances. Where exactly has it gone wrong?It was only fifty meters away.
In short, she would be dead if she couldn’t find a way out within the next few seconds.
