I watched as Cathy tightened her brows, her fingers gripping even harder.
“Since you want to take part in the race, then let’s have a proper showdown of our skills. Of course. It’s also a chance for you to make a fool of yourself! Although Fredrica ranks first among the en–drivers, it’s not her who’s driving. No matter how talented she is, without an excellent main driver, it’s all for nothing!”
Casey had a hint of a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had already seen the scene of me. a novice, being in a flurry on the track.
After saying that, she swayed her soft and tender waist and walked away. “Sherry is too stubborn, and I couldn’t persuade her. There’s nothing we can do,” she said to fan as she got closer to him, shrugging her shoulders as if she was really helpless.
lan didn’t say a word and just walked off to another place. The draw ended quickly, and then Fredrica came back. I gave Fredrica the results of the draw, and in return, she handed me the race information she’d collected.
“Those young masters who got drawn into your group were just complaining. Just wait; you’ll show them what a real master can do!” Fredrica said.
I just gave a faint smile. “If I were to drive from the start, could you guarantee that we’d make it to the finals?”
Fredrica pointed at herself. “Me? Darling Sherry, you….”
“If I show all my cards right from the start, where’s the fun in that?” I lazily interrupted her, even squinting my eyes. I must have looked like a lazy yet dangerous cat. “How about we switch? I’ll be the main driver, and you can be the
co–driver.”
Fredrica couldn’t help but curse, “Damn!” But the next moment, she gave me a thumbs–up. “That’s bold! Whoever goes up against you is in for a tough time!”
I’m different from Fredrica. Fredrica might talk big, but I usually keep my thoughts to myself. However, no one should ever think that I’m weak and can be easily bullied. When I’m really determined to retaliate, no one can
match my methods.
Fredrica happily agreed to my decision and excitedly tapped the steering wheel. “Although I haven’t formally driven as a main driver, I’ve been with Drift King and can handle these showy rich boys easily!”
It was almost time for our group to take part in the selection race, and we were all getting ourselves ready mentally. Despite seeming like she didn’t care, Cathy couldn’t help but sneak a look in our direction.
Cathy saw that I was still sitting motionless in the co–pilot’s seat and couldn’t help but sneer to herself. She seemed to have figured out that I was a Cainiao, waiting for me to make a fool of myself on the track.
On the other side, Robin, who had been complaining earlier, sull had some hope at first. But now, seeing that I hadn’t moved from the co–driver sent, he lost all hope. Frustrated, he kicked the tire. Had Drift King disappeared forever in the last four years, or had something happened to them? If it was like this, he’d always be overshadowed
by Drift King’s aura. What a joke!
Thinking like this, his mood got even worse. He didn’t even feel like racing anymore. He got into the car, ready to
Teave.
His friends quickly stopped him. “Even if you’re not participating, at least stay and watch the race.”
this far:
“You’ve come this far, it’d be a pity to leave.”
“Also, it’s your group’s race. Leaving now, how would that look?”
Annoyed. Robin was forced to sit in the car, grumbling but not saying a word.
Meanwhile, in the same group as me, when they saw Fredrica as the driver, the others‘ expressions brightened a bit. Someone came over and patted Fredrica on the shoulder. “Thanks. These people treated a gem like sand. They’ll regret it when you beat them later.”
Fredrica chuckled. They won’t know what hit them!”
“Enough talking, start your engine!” I had an indifferent look in my eyes. Even though I was a co–driver. I took my role seriously. My small face showed my seriousness as I gave instructions.
“Got it!” Fredrica fastened her seatbelt, her hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. When the starting gun fired,
she slammed the accelerator to the floor.
As a co–driver, Fredrica was really aware of what was going on around her. I provided the technical guidance, “Accelerate! Stay close to the line! Steady…”
Following my instructions, the car smoothly moved along the track, staying right on the racing line.
A few minutes later, it was over. The final results showed that, even though we weren’t in first place, Fredrica and our team had made it to the finals.
“Didn’t I do well, sis?” Fredrica showed me the final ranking that had been sent to her phone. We were last among
the finalists.
I let out a light chuckle. “Indeed, you did.”
In the distance, Cathy smiled silently with a smile on the corner of her mouth. With such a bottom result, even if she enters the finals, she can’t make any waves.
Last place.
While I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a clear voice calling Cathy’s name. “Cathy, I challenge you!”
The one speaking was none other than Fredrica herself. She lifted her chin, wearing a smile that seemed challenging despite looking cheerful.
Cathy must have felt disdain in her heart, but she didn’t say anything and just covered her mouth with a smile.
“How funny! You ranked last, and yet you dare to challenge Cathy?” Wilson, who was on Cathy’s side, said in a scornful voice
Still smiling, Fredrica didn’t get angry. She didn’t look at Cathy or Wilson and just walked straight up to fan. “Tan, what do you think?”
Fredrica’s behavior wasn’t very graceful and was really out of character. Everyone knew she was my friend, so they thought she was just standing up for me, and nobody said anything more.
Jan had an indifferent look in his eyes and didn’t even glance at Fredrica. “It’s your own decision.”
“That’s good.” Fredrica came back and then turned to Cathy again. “Cathy, are you afraid?”
“Afraid?” Cathy must have thought Fredrica was really ridiculous. Even though she ranked first among the female
drivers, how could she be afraid of redrica?
“Miss Fredrica, think carefully. Although you’re a skilled co–driver, there’s a difference between being a co–driver and a main driver.” Cathy always presented herself well. Even if she looked down on Fredrica, she still kept a polite and respectful tone. There was no sign of disdain in her eyes.
“My skills might not be enough, but someone else’s might be.” Fredrica pushed me forward. “Cathy, are you willing to accept the challenge?”
I was speechless for a moment
What kind of friend was Fredrica? She put me and Cathy in the same group. Should I really go all out, or should I
hold back a bit?
Fredrica gave my shoulder a little squeeze, and the message was clear: She came here to humiliate Cathy, and of
course, lan 100.
Cathy’s expression turned really dark. There was even a touch of anger in her eyes. Fredrica could barely make it to the finals herself, and now she was pushing me to join?
This was clearly meant to humiliate her!
“Cathy, make sure to give it your all, otherwise, losing would be really embarrassing. With that remark, Fredrica seemed to be suggesting that Cathy wasn’t capable of winning.
Cathy had never been underestimated like this before. Her lips twitched a little, but she nodded. “Fine!”
“Fredrica, there’s no need to humiliate/others like this.” Wilson and a few others walked over, accusing Fredrica.
With a smile that didn’t really seem like a smile, Fredrica said, “We haven’t competed yet. Who’s humiliating who is still uncertain.”
Nobody believed her words,
Cathy and the others still thought Fredrica was deliberately humiliating Cathy.
Fredrica didn’t bother to explain further. She pushed my shoulder. “You go get ready.”
I realized that Fredrica’s arrangements were meant to give me a chance to let out my anger. I nodded in agreement, got up, and walked silently towards my car.
As I reached for the door, another hand stopped me and pushed me back with a hang before shutting the door
tightly!
1looked up in surprise and saw a face that was faintly filled with anger.
