Ashley finally spoke, and her voice was flat. “I’m sorry, it’s a confidentiality agreement, so I can’t

disclose it.”

‘A confidentiality agreement?’

Upon hearing these words, the people in the banquet hall exchanged puzzled looks.

‘It seemed that things are not simple…

“There must have been something big happening, something that forced her to retire.

Ryan, however, sneered, “Confidentiality agreement? Ashley, is that just an excuse you made up, or is

it because the real reason is too embarrassing to admit?”

Pullan’s anger started to rise upon hearing this.

The others in the banquet hall had no personal hatred against Ashley and didn’t make any malicious

speculations.

But Ryan, as Ashley’s brother, was suspecting his own sister like this.

He had no affection for her whatsoever.

Lester looked at Ryan as if he were looking at a despicable criminal, and his eyes filled with an icy chill

of death.

He told the bodyguard behind him, saying, “Bring Nell in.”

Within seconds, Nell was brought into the banquet hall.

Ryan furrowed his brows, thinking, ‘Mr. Pound? What is he do

When Ashley saw Nell appear, she was momentarily surprised b understood, looking at Lester. It was

he who brought Nell here.

The deal she made with Nell was a confidentiality agreement, so she couldn’t disclose it voluntarily to

everyone.

Ryan walked up to Nell, his face full of confusion. “Mr. Pound, why are you here?”

Nell glanced at Lester with fear, his legs trembling, and then looked back at Ryan. He said with a

trembling voice. “Didn’t you want to know why I agreed to perform surgery on you back then?”

Ryan paused for a moment, nodding. “Yes.”

Under Lester’s oppressive gaze, Nell shakily began to speak.

“You injured your right leg and could no longer race. You couldn’t accept this fact, and your family tried

everything to find me, hoping that I could perform surgery on you.

“But I refused. To be honest, you’re not someone, and your family is nothing special. I simply didn’t

have the energy to operate on you.”

Upon hearing this, Ryan felt awkward but couldn’t refute it.

Nell took a deep breath and continued, “After I rejected you, I heard that you became depressed and

lost interest in life. But then, the racing legend Ava, that is Ashley, specifically came to me and asked

me to perform surgery on you.”

Ryan was shocked. ‘Ashley contacted Nell?

‘Asking him to help me?

That’s impossible. Why would Nell listen to Ashley?”

Nell wiped off the sweat on his forehead and continued, “At first, I didn’t agree. But unexpectedly,

Ashley, the Racing Legend, set aside her pride to do chores for me just to ask me to operate on you.

“I have a nephew who is also a racer, but his skills are not as good as Ava’s. He has never won first

place. In order to help my nephew achieve that, Ashley and I made an agreement. As long as Ashley

announced her retirement, I would agree to perform surgery on you.

“I thought Ashley wouldn’t agree, but she thought for a few seconds and said yes. She retired at the

peak of her career, giving up her beloved racing career just to let me heal your leg and give you a

chance to return to the racetrack.”

Ryan couldn’t hear what Nell said next.

His ears were echoing with the words.

“Ashley retired at the peak of her career, giving up her beloved racing career just to heal his leg and let

him return to the racetrack.”

He thought, ‘No, this can’t be true!”

Ryan didn’t even dare to look at Ashley on stage. He grabbed Nell’s collar. Furious, he roared, “You’re

lying! Do you think I’ll believe this? How could Ashley do such a foolish thing for me?”

longing, to look at Ashley in the distance.

Ashley descended from the stage and walked up to Lester, whispering, “Why did you bring Nell here?”

Lester looked at her with sympathy and regret. “Seeing you being targeted by Ryan, I couldn’t stand

idly by.”

Ashley felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, saying, “Thank you.”

“Ashley…” Lester softly called her name.

“What’s wrong?” Ashley asked.

Lester gazed into her clear eyes and pleaded, “Ashley, could you please do another DNA test with us?”
