Stanley’s sports car suddenly swerved toward Wendy, attempting to force her off the track.
But Wendy didn’t back down. The right side of her car scraped against the wall, sending sparks flying. In the blink of an eye, she skillfully drifted her car to the side and chased after Stanley.
Her control of the car was impressive, even stunning.
Stanley watched Wendy, feeling the breeze on his face. Her long, dark hair flowed out behind her, rippling in the wind, some strands catching on her delicate cheeks and slender neck. She looked so radiant, so captivating, it was impossible to look away.
Wearing sunglasses, she slowly glanced at him, then gave him the finger.
“Damn it!” Stanley muttered under his breath, a low, rough laugh escaping from his throat. The sight of her stirred something deep inside him.
She made his heart itch.
In his mind, Wendy was just a country girl, always causing trouble and orbiting around him. But there were moments, like now, when her cleverness in outwitting bad guys, her ruthless gameplay, and her boldness behind the wheel made him wonder.
Which side of her was the real one?
She was like a puzzle.
He had started his attack; after all, since he had made a move, he couldn’t just let her have the upper hand.
Wendy saw an obstacle ahead, and instinctively, she turned the wheel, trying to force him back. But Stanley hit the gas, using the downhill momentum to perform a perfect drift, cutting right past her like an arrow.
Wendy looked up at him, and Stanley simply shrugged his shoulders, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.
Wendy’s red lips curled into a smile, her eyes sparkling with playful defiance.
It was a battle of equals.
Speed and adrenaline surged, igniting an uncontrollable thrill.
The two sports cars raced side by side, forming the brightest, most captivating sight on the track.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Nathan cheered with excitement. “Wendy, I didn’t expect you to be this good at racing! Stanley must be in shock. He’s never met anyone who could challenge him–until now.”
Wendy smiled, amused.
“But Wendy, the finish line’s coming up, and you still haven’t beaten Stanley. You might not get the Presidential Suite after all,” Nathan adde
Wendy glanced ahead at the finish line. “Don’t worry. Someone’s going to help me out.”
Help her out?
Who?
Jessica sat in the passenger seat, her stomach churning with jealousy as she watched Wendy keep up with Stanley. She felt sick with envy.

Why was this happening? Wasn’t Wendy just some country bumpkin? How did she know how to race like this?
Why was she shining so brightly?
Jessica turned her gaze to Stanley. His attention was entirely on Wendy. Racing had always been his hobby, and who didn’t love someone who stood out like Wendy did?
Jessica, who had a congenital heart condition, already felt uncomfortable in the sports car. The jealousy and bitterness only made her chest tighten painfully.
She pressed a hand to her heart, wincing in pain.
“Stanley!” she cried.
The race was entering its final stage. Stanley was about to push the pedal to the metal when he heard Jessica’s anguished cry. He turned to look, and saw that her face had drained of color.
Immediately, he slowed down.
At that moment, Wendy’s car shot ahead with a roar, crossing the finish line.
Wendy had won.
Stanley drove up and parked before quickly getting out of the car with Jessica. Jessica’s condition had improved, but her face was still pale.
Wendy and Nathan climbed out of their car, and a staff member from the resort handed Wendy the key to the Presidential Suite.
Wendy took it with a smile, turning to Stanley and Jessica.
“Mr. Hawk, Jessica, thanks for letting us win,” she said brightly.
Jessica’s anger flared. “You little…”
Wendy ignored her, flashing a confident smile before turning and walking away with grace.
Jessica stood there, fuming. She felt like she was going to explode.
