Chapter 199


    Nell''s expression momentarily changed because of Ryan’s question.


    He still remembered Ryan. Though he refused to be Ryan’s orthopedic surgeon at first, he finally operated on Ryan for a leg


    injury.


    If Ava, precisely Ashley, hadn’t begged him to treat Ryan, he wou have agreed.


    Nell''s nephew was a race car driver, but he had never won one race against Ashley. To help his nephew to win the


    championship, he made a deal with Ashley.


    He promised that as long as she agreed to give up her racing career, he would do her a favor and operate on Ryan.


    Thinking of Ryan, she immediately agreed, which surprised Nell.


    To help Ryan back on the track, she gave up what she loved and announced her retirement from motor racing at the height of


    her career.


    For Nell, the deal with her was something hical that couldn’t be known by the public.


    However, as the primary beneficiary of the deal, Ryan had the right to know the truth.


    “Don’t you know why | agreed to operate on you?” Nell, who looked a little overweight, asked with glistening eyes.


    Ryan shook repeatedly. In fact, he had never thought about it before. He took it for granted that Nell agreed to treat him because


    he was one of the Ramos family.


    After the operation, Ryan thanked Evan and Bertha for what they had done to him. And he was more grateful to Jessica than


    Ashley, his real


    sister.


    He hated Ashley so much that he didn’t want to see her face at all. Every time she came to visit him, Ryan drove her out of his


    ward without a single nce at her.


    “In order to treat your leg, your family begged me several times. Finally, | agreed to operate on you,” Nell lied.


    “| have a seminar to attend to, and I’m running out of

    Nell left in a panic.


    He had to keep the deal with Ashley secret, because he didn’t want it to tarnish his reputation..


    Before long, Nell saw a tall man not far away.


    The man leaned leisurely against the car, as if he was waiting


    Nell immediately recognized him. He was Lester, the second master of the Pliskin family. It was acknowledged that the Plisk was


    one of the four big families.


    “Mr. Pliskin, what are you...” Nell quickly went to greet him.


    Lightly ncing at him, Lester said straightforwardly, “The secret deal between you and Ava...”


    Nell froze in shock, wondering why Lester knew about it.


    After a moment of thought, he calmed down. It wasn’t difficult for Lester to find it out. After all, the Pliskin family powerful, and


    Lester was a man who was capable of anything.

    Staring at him, Lester continued in a cold tone, “I need you to tell the public about the deal you made with Ashley.”


    “|...” Nell was torn. “This deal is between Ava and I. | can’t make it public.”


    “Are you sure?” Lester looked at him with a smile.


    Lester’s steely smile sent shivers down his spine. Nell was so scared that he could barely stand on his feet. Though Lester came


    across as a gentleman, he actually was a ruthless man who couldn''t afford to be messed with.


    Nell stuttered in fear, “O-Okay, I''ll do as you say.”


    “Hey, it hurts. Be gentle.” At Kingsley Vi, Ashleyyzily on the bed. Sitting beside her, Valentin gave her a massage, with his


    fingers tracing all the way down her back.


    Lying like a sleepy cat, sheined about his bad massage skills in a


    sweet tone,


    “How about this?” He did it more gently.

    That’s more like it.” Ashley felt so rxed that she didn’t even want to open her eyes.


    Suddenly, her phone rang. Pun’s name showed up on the caller’s |.D.


    She answered the phone.


    Before she retired from motor racing, Pun formed the tea and he was the team manager.


    ‘Hello, Ashley,” he said gracefully. Pun sounded younger tha actual age. “I hope I’m not disturbing you, do |?”


    ‘Of course not.”

    “Great.” He continued with augh, “Actually, Kerston’s 60th anniversary is in a couple of days. They want to invite Ava, the


    Racing Legend, to their anniversary celebration.”


    Kerston was the world’s top race car manufacturer. Most race car drivers. were big fans of this brand.


    Given that it was the most influential race car brand, a race car produced by Kerston was worth at least 500 thousand dors.


    “Ashley, Jason Miller, the president of Kerston, called me the other day. He said he wanted to invite Ava, the Racing Legend, to


    the anniversary celebration, where you can make your public appearances as the spokesperson for Kerston.”


    However, Ashley wasn’t feeling up to it, saying, “Thanks, but no.”


    Pun quickly said, “If you agree to be the spokesperson as the Racing Legend, they''ll pay you 10 million dors in return.”


    She still wasn’t interested. “I’m not short of money now.”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    “| know, Ashley, but hear me out.” Pun paused for seconds and continued in a mncholy tone, “Many people thought that Ava


    had passed away. Although there were rumors that Ava was alive not long ago, you didn’t make any announcement. The public


    was so disappointed,”


    Ashley was speechless.


    Seriously? I’m not dead yet!’ she thought.

    inching her cheek slightly. “Do you want me to keep massaging you?” he sked.


    Thinking of how great she felt when he massaged her, Ashley gave in and inswered with a nod, “Yes!”


    He took a swallow and chuckled, “Good girl.”


    Ashley was wordless.


    On the day of Kerston’s 60th anniversary celebration, Ashley took a loo at the date before going out. Today was the third. She


    couldn’t put her finger on it, but she felt like it was a special day.


    She thought about it carefully.


    It hit her that her divorce agreement with Valentin would expire in ten days.


    Her heart skipped a beat. Given that she was in a rush, blinking, she left hurriedly.


    Many artists, celebrities, and top race car drivers were invited to Kerston’s 60th anniversary celebration.


    It was said that Ava would show up. Her hardcore fans couldn''t wait to see her.


    They were grateful that their idol was still alive.


    No words could describe how excited they were.
