Chapter 448 What A Drama Queen


    As soon as Lucas made his entrance, Amber finally mustered a satisfied smile. Marion was nowhere to


    be seen, probably having chickened out from facing reality.


    That was okay, though. Amber would shove that reality right in her face!


    Amber nced at Lucas sitting in the VIP seat, raising her eyebrows involuntarily. On the big screen,


    JJ, in a red and ck racing suit, was holding a helmet in her left hand and wearing her usual purple


    floral mask. The face hidden for a decade would be unveiled today!


    After the opening ceremony, all the contestants went offstage to prepare.


    The jet ski race was divided into male and female categories, with twelve women split into two groups


    for the morningpetition. Due to therger number of male participants, their race was scheduled


    for the afternoon.


    The weather in Lester City today was exceptionally good, and with it being the weekend, the venue


    was packed.


    The camera on the big screen turned to the calm sea, its surface shimmering like crystal. Then, it cut to


    the crowd, which was buzzing with excitement.


    Preston noticed a familiar face in the audience and could not help but nudge Lucas beside


    him. “Isn’t that Cassie? Your wife’s bestie?”


    Preston spoke and instinctively scanned the audience, and sure enough, he quickly spotted Cassie.


    This was getting interesting!


    “Is Marion here, too?” He asked.


    Lucas nced at him but did not say anything. If it were not for his curiosity about who JJ


    really was and what they looked like, he would have left by now!


    Preston found Lucas quite boring. He e was itching to find Cassie.


    Meanwhile, Cassie spotted Preston and naturally noticed Lucas, too. Her hand holding the mini g


    froze mid–wave. “Oh my gosh! This just got real!” She eximed.


    Nina, standing nearby, puzzled, asked, “What’s going on,


    Cass?”


    Cassie gestured toward the VIP area. “Do you see that handsome guy in the white shirt over there?”


    Not too far away, Nina strained her eyes to get a clear look at Lucas’s face. At first, she did not


    recognize him. “Wow! He’s really handsome! Are you interested?”

    Hearing her question, Cassie shivered, “Me? No way! Take a closer look at who that man really is.


    Squinting, Nina found his face increasingly familiar. After a couple of seconds, it clicked, ” “Isn’t that


    JJ’s husband?”


    Worried that others might overhear, Nina instinctively lowered her voice as she spoke.


    Cassie snorted. “Yeah! Isn’t it thrilling?”


    Nina had just found out that Marion had joined the race without informing her husband and that Lucas


    had no idea JJ was Marion. Now, seeing Lucas in the audience and


    thinking about the moment JJ would unmask after the race…


    It was about to get exciting!


    While they chatted, the contestants were already riding their jet skis out to sea.


    After settling into her position, Marion subconsciously nced around. However, she was too far away


    to see anything clearly.


    Lucas probably had note, right?


    She did not know why, but she both wanted him to be there and also hoped he had not.


    Ugh, she really was a bundle of contradictions.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, the race will begin in five minutes.”


    Lost in thought, the referee had already begun reminding them that the race would start


    soon.


    Marion snapped out of her reverie and focused on the g in the referee’s hand.


    Five minutester, with the sound of the gun and the waving of the g, the calm sea erupted into


    waves as one jet ski after another leaped into action.


    Cassie and Nina stopped gossiping and focused intently on Marion on the big screen.
