Chapter 70
Ditching his devil-may-care attitude from earlier, Chris asked, “Something thrilling? What is it?”
As he asked, he had already put on the racing suit that had just been thrown aside.
The orange racing suit, the well-groomed hair, and a pair of cool, big sunsses kind of gave Chris the
vibe of a dashing idol racer.
Tina pursed her lips in the direction of Julia and Amelie. A meaningful smile appeared on her face as
she suggested, “How about we race there?”
As she spoke, she pointed over with her hand that was holding the helmet.
Everyone gasped in unison when they saw the direction Tina was pointing at. That’s a newly opened
racetrack! What’s more, it’s a field track for rally racing. It connects extremelyplex mountain routes
and waterways. Every corner is sharp and powerful. And since it’s a newly built track, racers have yet
to race on it. Hence, no one knows the track’s condition. Racing on that track is equivalent to a mini
outdoor survival race Outdoor survival races are very dangerous even during the day, let alone at night.
The risk factor is undoubtedly multiplied during the night.
Instead of answering right away, Chris simply tapped his fingers on his car.
Tina strode up to Julia and Amelie. “What do youdies think?” she asked while tilting her head to one
side. However, the corner of her lips curled up into a provocative smirk.
ough Julia showed no signs of expressions on her face, deep down, she was already scoffing at Tina.
Jam the megastar in the livestreammerce industry. I have always been the only one who dares
others. This is actually my first time being dared upon. Then again, I have used this same trick
countless times. Of course, I won’t be provoked so easily.
Instead of answering, Julia made her way toward Elyse. “Miss yton, is this your suggestion?” Julia
asked in an extremely loud voice while fixing her gaze on Elyse.
She wanted Elyse to answer the question herself.
Seeing Julia didn’t dare to answer her directly, Tina thought they were guilty.
At this moment, her slightly low mood earlier was reced by upscaled confidence.
“No. It’s…”
However, Julia had already opened her car door and walked up to Elyse before Tina finished speaking.
“I’d rather hear from Miss yton herself.”
Meanwhile, Elyse sat in her car.
Despite wearing a racing suit, she still exuded an exquisitely beautiful and dazzling aura.
Putting on a perfectly gentle and delicate smile, she replied, “Tina said she wanted to race, so I don’t
want to be a spoilsport and ruin it for her.”
At that, Julia nodded and said with a faint smile, “I see.”
Although Julia had said nothing more, Elyse could feel that Julia was ridiculing her.
She silently nipped her fingers, which were hidden in the dark. And a trace of annoyance arising from
being provoked speedily surfaced across her face.
However, due to poor lighting and fast speed, no one managed to notice this.
Truthfully, I meant to challenge Amelie and Julia to this race. However, considering I am a celebrity with
a
goddess-like character, I don’t think it’s wise for me to leave an impression of beingpetitive in the
eyes of the public. It was just a suggestion that I ingeniously mentioned briefly, yet Tina fell for it.
Whatever. Tina doesn’t even know that she’s being taken advantage of anyway. So, I have nothing to
be worried about. Still putting on a beautiful and delicate smile, Elyse nodded. “Yeah.”
After Julia was done asking Elyse, she got around behind the crowd.
Since everyone didn’t know what Julia was up to, their gaze followed her silhouette.
“Mr. Alston, do you agree to have this race too?” she asked with her lips raised as she stood in front of
a tall silhouette.
Leo had been standing there the whole time.
Usually, he would be the most prominent figure, no matter where he stood.
In fact, it had always been that way.
Many would notice him even if he stood in the most secluded and darkest spot.
However, the race between Amelie and Elyse earlier subverted too many circumstances that it
sessfully diverted everyone’s attention away from Leo, causing him to be ignored.
The crowd, on the other hand, all showed meaningful expressions when they saw Juliaing to look
for Leo.
As Amelie’s superb performance in the race earlier drew plenty of attention, many who didn’t know her
before couldn’t help but be curious about her identity.
After asking each other, everyone now knew that Amelie was Leo’s ex-wife.
Considering that a triangr rtionship involving an ex-wife and a first love had always been the most
intriguing topic, their interactions undoubtedly became a hot topic. Not to mention, Amelie and Elyse
even showed up on the same asion at the same time.
They secretly praised Julia for even daring to provoke someone like Leo while anticipating Leo’s reply
in a gossipy manner.
As for Leo, he merely looked at Julia with those pair of obsidian-like eyes; not an ounce of expression
was seen on his handsome face.
He pursed his lips and didn’t make a sound.
Julia smiled. “After all, Miss yton is your darling lover. You seriously won’t mind if she races on such
a dangerous trackte at night?”
Forget about the crowd present; anyone would overthink the current situation after they saw her looking
for Elyse and Leo.
At this moment, not only Tina, but the others, too, felt that Ameliecked confidence. So, was Amelie’s
victory earlier a mere coincidence?
“Miss White, you can just pretend I never came up with this suggestion if you aren’t up for this race.”
Tina smiled and said with an expression as though she really understood Julia.
Even so, the meaning hidden behind Tina’s expression was as clear as day.
After that, she turned around and walked to her car.
“I didn’t say I was out, did I?” Julia’s voice came from behind. “I’m just afraid that Miss yton is being
overly impulsive so I’m rifying with her in advance.”
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Julia sounded so confident that even Elyse, who sat in the car, couldn’t hold back her facial expression
and was on the brink of cracking.
Julia is clearly implying that I can’t win against them! As she thought of this, Elyse tweaked her fingers
so hard that she broke several of her nails.
“Us? Impulsive?! You two are the ones who are impulsive!” As Tina was no match for Julia in terms of
knack, she instantly was on the brink of blowing a fuse.
Just when she was about tosh out her anger, Elyse jumped out of the car and held her back. “That’s
enough. Miss White was just being nice.”
After hearing that, Tina spoke nothing more and walked toward the car sullenly.
Elyse, on the other hand, gracefully walked up to Leo and said with a cutesy smile on her face, “Leo, I’ll
go race now.” The smile was so sweet and tender that even people around could feel its sweetness.
Initially, they expected that Leo would respond with the same amount of tenderness, disying their
affection in public.
However, he showed no reaction for a long time.
Out of curiosity, everyone couldn’t help but look over and follow his gaze.
They saw Leo looking past Elyse and casting his gaze on the car stopped in front of the track-the car
which Amelie was in.
The reason for me to look for Leo after suffering so much aggravation is nothing more than wanting to
provoke Julia and Amelie. Yet, in the end, not only did I not get Leo’s attention, but he is checking on
Amelie instead! Elyse could barely hold the smile on her face. Annoyed, her face twisted so much to
the point itpletely lost the sweet smile she had earlier.
In reality, Leo wasn’t thinking about anything else other than Amelie’sck of response at this moment.
Julia, Elyse, and Tina have all expressed their voices. Only Amelie didn’te to me. Even though she
has disyed her extremely strong racing skill just now, rally racing ispletely different from circuit
racing. There are many uncontroble factors in a rally. Racers who are good at circuit racing may not
be able to do well in rally racing. I’m just worried that Amelie might not have enough capability to
compete in rally racing. Then again, no matter how worried I am, why should I shamelessly remind
Amelie when even she stays silent?
As he thought of that, Leo gradually withdrew his gaze. Then, he nodded at Elyse. “Be careful.”
Only then did Elyse smile sweetly again. “I will.”
Then, she walked back to her car gracefully. When she passed by Amelie, she raised her helmet and
said, “Good luck.”
However, Amelie pretended not to see it.
The crowd, on the other hand, watched this interaction in silence.
Chris smiled andplimented, “She’s got quite a personality, hasn’t she?”
With that, Mr. Perez nodded. “Just my type.”
As soon as he said that, he suddenly felt a gloomy chill running down her spine. He turned around,
touched his back with a puzzled expression, and happened to meet Leo’s gaze.
Oh! What a scary gaze! “I-I was talking about Miss Dillon,” he exined while rubbing the back of his
head.
Mr. Perez wholeheartedly thought that Leo was angry with him because he misunderstood that he
fancied Elyse
Little did he know, it was better for him to keep his mouth shut in the first ce, for the coldness in
Leo’s gaze became sharper and colder as soon as he said that.
Sensing this, Mr. Perez finally shut up.
As for Chris, he smiled meaningfully when he saw Leo’s gaze. All men share onemon problem.
They can’t bear to watch other men eyeing even their ex-wives.
Thinking of this, Chris deliberately touched his hair and spoke loudly. “Say, what kind of man will my ex-
cousin-inw be married to in the future for her second marriage?”
When Leo heard those words, he merely turned around to face Chris with his back.
Allpeting racers took their position once the rules of the race were set.
Chris sent someone to retrieve the surveince footage along the track, asking them to disy it on the
big
screen.
With that, the staff retrieved the surveince footage. Soon, they adjusted the screen to show the
starting position.
In an instant, the image of both cars magnified in front of their eyes.
When they saw what Julia and Amelie were doing in their car, Chris shouted, “Damn!”
Besides Chris, Mr. Perez was also in the surveince room. He, too, shouted, “My God! What are they
trying to do?!”
