Chapter 52
ire and Loreen greeted everyone warmly. Clinton gritted his teeth in great dismay as he looked
at ire, who was getting more radiant and beautiful.
When they were in college, he desperately tried to win her heart, but she simply ignored him. 2
However, she chose to marry a deadbeat loser who mooched off her.
D*mn it, why?! 3
God must have been blind! 1
He squinted his eyes in agitation and sneered. "Hey, Charlie, you seem to live a good life after
marrying ire! You can even drive a BMW now! Did ire buy i t for you? You really are the role
model of a toyboy!"
ire was annoyed by his remark while Loreen quickly said, "Clinton, you''re wrong, it''s not ire
who bought the car but Charlie who had bought it himself!"
"Wow!" Clinton twitched his lips. "Awesome, you can even afford a BMW 5 Series now!" 4
Then, he said in a provocative tone, "Hey, the streets are very quiet here and also very straight and
wide, how about we have a race down the street to see who can drive faster?" 2
Charlie frowned in annoyance, getting a little sulky at
Clinton''s malicious intention. 1
''Why couldn’t you just leave me alone? I don’t have anything to do with you,’ Charlie thought quietly
to himself. ''Besides, whose car is faster than mine? This i s BMW 760, the most expensive and
fastest BMW model! I''ll be branded as a bully if I take up the challenge.'' 4
Clinton assumed Charlie''s silence as unease, so he immediately sneered. "Hey, Charlie, why are
you still the same coward as you were when you were in college? It won''t use much of your fuel! I’ll
pay you a full tankter.” 1
Loreen grumbled, exasperated. "Hey, Clinton, drop your act! Your car is a 540, Charlie''s is a 520,
even I know there''s a huge gap between the engine power of both cars! Do you think the street race
that you suggested is fair?" 1
Clinton shrugged indifferently. "Well, it depends greatly on the driver''s skills! A good car doesn''t
necessarily mean it can go fast, it depends on the driver''s skills and courage. I wonder if Charlie has
the courage to take up a challenge? I can understand if he doesn''t want to, he''s always been a
loser who can never do anything. Everyone knows that."
The guys standing around him immediately interjected, "Yes, Clinton''s right! Just say it if you’re
afraid, there''s nothing to be ashamed about.” 1
Charlie was not agitated by the scene, instead, he smiled and said, "I don''t mind a race, but where''s
the fun if we just talk about the bet? Let''se up with
something fun as a punishment to make it interesting." 1 "Alright!" Clinton was worried that Charlie
would not fall for his trick, so when Charlie made such a suggestion, he blurted excitedly, thinking
that Charlie was digging his own grave, “Let''s make a bet then-whoever loses the race must kneel
on the ground and apologize to the winner. What do you say?" 2
Charlie shook his head. "Nah, it''s such a childish bet. We''re all adults, let''s think of something more
mature." 2
At this moment, Dous, donning a smart suit, walked out of the restaurant with arge pile of
fireworks. As soon as his sight fell on Charlie, he marched forward ecstatically and said, "Hey
Charlie, you''re here!"
Charlie nodded with a warm smile and replied," Dous, congrattions on the opening of your
new restaurant!"
"Thanks, buddy!"
Clinton began again in a cold voice, “Charlie, don’t change the subject. Tell me, what''s on your
mind?” 4

Dous asked curiously, "What’s up? What are you guys doing?"
Charlie looked at the fireworks in Dous''s arms and asked, "Doug, how long are those
firecrackers?" 2
"Three meters!" Dousughed. “It''s not cheap, I spent six hundred something dors on them!" 2
Charlie nodded as he turned to Clinton and said, "I have an idea. Let''s go on with the race and
whoever loses, we''ll put the fireworks in his car and ignite them. What do you think?"
