Upon hearing Dayton's words, Deanna was speechless.
She never expected that Dayton would be so proactive and come so quickly for the sake of the competition.
Jessica also noticed Deanna's stunned expression and quickly explained, "This guy is impatient, Miss Deanna, don't worry about him. Mr. and Mrs. Poole said that if Mr. Mercer doesn't have time, you don't need to pay attention to him. If he annoys you, just have someone keep an eye on him. Of course, if possible, they hope Mr. Mercer can discipline Dayton for them, even if it means scolding or hitting him, as long as he doesn't kill him."
These were the exact words of Mr. and Mrs. Poole.
Dayton's face changed immediately upon hearing this, and he glared at Jessica angrily, "Hey, woman, whose side are you on?"
"What do you think? I am entrusted by Mr. and Mrs. Poole to keep an eye on you," Jessica replied with a faint smile.
Dayton was once again rendered speechless.
Deanna looked at him, her smile becoming even brighter, and then said, "Since you came to find Lance for the competition, go to the company and find him. I'll have someone take you there."
After saying that, she called for Sam to escort Dayton to the Mercer Group.
Dayton actually followed along.
Seeing Jessica sitting motionless on the sofa, Deanna was somewhat surprised and asked, "Aren't you going? Aren't you afraid that guy will cause trouble?"
"It's okay. With Mr. Mercer around, that guy won't be able to make any waves," Jessica replied without any worries.
In fact, it was true.
Dayton was brought in front of Lance and became extremely obedient.
"I heard you came to challenge me?"
"Yes, that's right!"
In order to not appear guilty, Dayton spoke with a loud voice.
Lance was momentarily taken aback by his voice and raised an eyebrow as he looked at him coldly, "I don't have time these days."
"It's okay, I have time. I can wait for you."
Dayton had already anticipated that it wouldn't be easy to request a competition.
He sat on the sofa, looking calm and composed as he stared at Lance.
Lance also realized that this person wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
While Xavier was lost in his thoughts, he heard Mr. Mercer's cold voice in his ear, "Xavier, check when I have some free time."
"Yes."
Xavier nodded and quickly took out his schedule, then reported, "Mr. Mercer, you have social engagements every evening this week. The next available time is next Wednesday."
Upon hearing this, Dayton quickly said, "Then next Wednesday it is. It'll give you a few days to prepare since I've been playing with cars every day while you've been working. This way, if I win, no one can say it's unfair."
Xavier looked at Dayton with mixed feelings.
It might sound a bit arrogant to say so, but Mr. Mercer doesn't need any preparation time at all.
He was born to be talented in any field. Even if he works every day, as long as he puts in a little effort in car racing, he'll surpass ordinary people!
In any case, winning against the heir of the Poole family would be a piece of cake.
Lance had no idea that Xavier admired him so much.
He raised an eyebrow as he looked at the arrogant man not far away and spoke in a low voice, "We can have the competition, but let me make it clear: if you lose again, you can't be a sore loser."
"What did you say? Do I look like someone who can't handle losing?"
Dayton exploded in anger.
Lance simply looked at him calmly.
Through those dark eyes, Dayton saw his own reflection and realized that being angry was pointless. He reluctantly said, "Rest assured, if I lose again this time, I won't bother you anymore."
And so, the time for the competition was set for next Wednesday.
At the same time, Eula also learned about this matter.
"Why would Lance agree to such a competition?"
She frowned and looked at Avery.
Based on her understanding of Lance, this man would never waste his time on such trivial entertainment.
Avery shared the information he had gathered and said, "It seems that it's because this Dayton saved Deanna that Lance has some tolerance for him."
"You mean that Dayton saved Deanna?!"
Eula suddenly raised her voice, her gaze turning extremely dark.
Avery nodded. "It is said that Dayton was playing with a submarine in the sea when Deanna happened to collide with it and he saved her."
Upon hearing this, Eula's expression became even more unpleasant.
If it weren't for Dayton saving Deanna, Deanna would have undoubtedly died back then, and she could have married Lance without any obstacles.
Now it seemed that Dayton was the culprit behind her failed plan!
"Avery, come here," Eula suddenly gritted her teeth and said.
Avery approached when he saw this.
"Master, do you have any orders?"
"You go..."
Eula gave some instructions and then let Avery leave.
