Chapter 68

Even though anger was written all over his face, Leo still looked so handsome that it incurred the wrath

of all mortals and immortals alike.

He still exuded an untouchable sense of regal aura.

“Amelie, are you done wreaking havoc? Go home if you’re done!” He suppressed his emotions as he

ordered.

Looking at his deep, raging look, Amelie smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Alston, we are no longer married.

Does it bother you if I’m wreaking havoc or not? And why do you care if I’m done or not? This is none of

your

business.”

The reason for Leo to be this furious is simply that I have provoked Elyse and am at risk of humiliating

her.

I may not be the one who started up this matter, but I will never let Elyse go just because he’s unhappy!

Her words made Leo frown hard. “Think carefully. Racing is no joking matter. You can get yourself killed

in minutes! Aren’t you a bit too foolish to disregard your life just to prove yourself?!”

Foolish? Well, he thinks everything I do is foolish.

Thinking of this, Amelie looked down. Her gaze was sorrowful as she said, “I have done so many foolish

things, so why should you be bothered about this one?”

The blue veins on Leo’s hands abruptly bulged as soon as she stopped.

Not only that, blue veins even throbbed all over his forehead.

Is she saying that her four-year marriage with me was a foolish decision?

Is she classifying all the kindness she showed me back then under the list of her foolish acts?

Despite always disliking Amelie, he felt a sudden discomfort all over after he heard her completely

dismiss all the memories that she had in the Alston Residence in such a way.

“Mr. Alston, you sure are persistent. Could it be that you have developed feelings for me?” Amelie

purposely said as she lowered her head and looked at his veiny hand that was clasping the door handle.

Like getting electrocuted, Leo suddenly retracted his hand. A hint of antipathy was visible in the corner of

his eyes as he retorted, “Don’t be delusional!”

Taking advantage of the situation, she got into the car and reversed the car, drawing a distance between

her and Leo.

Then, she turned her car around and arrived at the starting point.

A deep sense of gloom gathered under her eyebrow as she thought, Of course, I won’t dare to be

delusional and think that Leo would have developed feelings for me. I just wanted to end this

meaningless conversation quickly

The finals would be held in the form of a challenge match. However, the losing party would be eliminated

directly

As for those who won, they could continue challenging the racers they wanted to challenge.

As soon as Amelie’s car stopped, Julia jumped in.

“Are you seriously letting me compete with her?” Amelie asked with somewhat unease in her voice.

“Don’t you think we are bullying her?”

“She did bully you often, didn’t she? Julia corresponded with another question.

Amelie went silent. That being said, Elyse did pick on me quite often.

She might appear not to be around Leo and me in these years, but in truth, she influenced every second

of our

life

From how he dumped me in the snow in the first place to his ignoring me when I gave birth in the

hospital and his divorcing me later.

Even my four-year-long harsh marriage was filled with Elyse’s dirty means.

I, too, only recently learned about lots of things.

Elyse’s viciousness didn’t lie in snatching Leo away from me. Instead, she would unleash a fatal strike

every time I saw hope, pushing me back into an inferno.

And I was like a marionette controlled by Elyse.

With a pull and release of the strings, she controlled my life. She made me experience life and death and

overwhelmed me with sorrow.

Suddenly, Julia’s voice sounded, snapping Amelie out of her thoughts. “So, let’s do this!” Julia said as

she pumped her fist at Amelie.

Amelie hummed and put on her safety helmet upon hearing that.

Across from them, Elyse and her co-driver walked over.

Elyse’s facial expression wasn’t looking very good at this moment.

Initially, she wanted to humiliate Amelie. Yet, in the end, she was the one being humiliated instead.

For that reason, she was feeling extremely upset.

After all, her original intention had always been about letting everyone see that Amelie was never on par

with her.

She wanted everyone to know that she was top-tier while Amelie was nothing but a commoner.

I can achieve my goal if I win against the top-ranking racers, as long as Amelie doesn’t challenge me to a

race.

But now… If I win against Amelie, others will think that I’m picking on the weak.

If I lose…

Lose? How can I possibly lose?

“Miss Clayton, don’t think too much. Just crush her with your real strength later and teach her how to

properly behave,” Elyse’s co-driver said sinisterly while banging the helmet on the car door.

At the same time, she got into the car.

Pursing her lips a little, she said, “No. I won’t do that. As a matter of fact, not only will I not do that, but I

won’t embarrass her, too. I will only race at a speed that’s slightly faster than hers.”

“Miss Clayton. Her co-driver was slightly stunned. However, as soon as the co-driver understood what

she meant, she gave Elyse a thumbs up. “Genius!”

What a brilliant move! In this way, Miss Clayton’s image will instantly become aspirational, as outsiders

will think she’s noble for not getting angry and still unconditionally looking after the weak even after

getting provoked in

such a manner

On the contrary, Amelie will be deemed a no-brainer and will only be looked down upon even more.

There’s nothing better than crushing someone by tormenting their mind.

“On your

marks…” The starter’s order rang in their ears as soon as their conversation came to an end.

Meanwhile, on Amelie’s side, Julia was fastening her seat belt.

Amelie squinted her eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Julia asked, “Are your eyes okay?”

In truth, Julia knew that Amelie could proceed with the race even without asking her.

After all, not once did Amelie show signs of discomfort when the two of them participated in many races

after she underwent a corneal donation.

Amelie hid the fact that one of her eyes was visually impaired so well that Julia only found out about it

recently.

Nevertheless, perhaps Amelie would continue hiding the matter from Julia if she hadn’t accidentally

discovered it while searching through information when she went to Amelie’s home.

Amelie nodded.

Well then… shall we play with her first? We’ll stay ahead of her by four to five meters?” Julia intended to

play with Elyse.

“No.” Amelie curved the corner of her lips slightly.

The starting gun sounded as soon as she said that.

“We will go at a great speed!” she said while stepping on the accelerator.

In the meantime, on Elyse’s side, she only started her car at a slow pace after the starting gun sounded.

Just when she was about to use her superb skills to keep a distance of about five meters between her

car and Amelie’s, the sight in front of her eyes suddenly went dark.

A shadow flew by without warning!

“It’s Julia’s car!” the co-driver shouted.

She didn’t know Amelie and only recognized Julia.

After the co-driver shouted, her eyes widened in utter surprise, and her lips parted into the shape of an

She was so shocked that she completely forgot to report the road conditions to Elyse.

Man! That car was damn fast! It flew out in the blink of an eye just like a phantom!

And I’m not joking when I say that car flew!

At the same time, Elyse also didn’t expect that Amelie would go at such a great speed. She was stunned

abruptly for a moment before she swiftly stepped on the accelerator and kept up.

However, no matter how hard she stepped on the accelerator, the distance between her car and Amelie’s

just kept getting further apart.

Why is she getting further away in front? Why can’t I catch up with her car?!

Panic instantly crept in as Elyse couldn’t figure out the situation at all.

She was so panic-stricken that she couldn’t even steer her wheels well and was driving in a zig-zag

manner.

Seeing this, her co-driver could only keep giving her reminders.

However, her mind went blank, and she couldn’t hear anything.

Nonetheless, she gradually calmed down in the end.

The way Amelie drives make it feel like she is courting death!

It’s easy for her car to flip over if she drives like that, especially when passing through a corner. She will

undoubtedly get into a car crash!

Inexperienced racers who tend to be competitive will drive in such a manner!

Fine then. I’ll let her be since she has a death wish!

Thinking of this, Elyse adjusted her composure and steered her wheels straight.

Then, instead of slowing down, she trailed after Amelie at full speed.

Even if she gets into a car crash, I still have to overtake her and stay in front of her.

“There’s a corner in 400 meters. Amelie’s car will surely overturn there. We will overtake her there!” she

said while twisting the corner of her lips into a complacent smirk.

That’s fine with me, too.

Amelie’s car will overturn while I will make a perfect full-speed turn.

When that happens, everyone can easily tell who wins and who loses.

Both cars arrived at the corner in the blink of an eye.

Elyse didn’t step on the brake and slow down. Instead, she steered the car through the corner at full

speed.

Yet, to her surprise, Amelie’s car didn’t flip over.

As a matter of fact, not only did she not crash, but she also accelerated even more at the corner.

Amelie was already driving at a terrifying speed in the first place. Still, she revved up the engine and

sprinted like greased lightning when she took a turn at the corner. It was as though she was suddenly

being possessed by a speed demon.

If one would describe what it was like, it felt as though she had instantly transformed into the most

powerful ghostly being in a horror movie, which could shift in seconds.

The kind that could shift from one end of the sports ground to the other end in split seconds.

No one saw clearly how Amelie raced her car. All they knew was that the car had already passed the

corner by the time they looked closely.

Out of the blue, someone perceived the knack and shouted, “Ghost drift!”
