Chapter 264
Winston couldnât help but glance at Richard. After confirming that Millie was behind the wheel, he asked anxiously, âIsnât this madness?â
After all, Millie wasnât an experienced racer. With such a winding route, what if something were to happen
to her?
âCan we stop the race?â Winston asked Richard.
Richard shook his head. âWe canât call it off. Not only that, theyâve also placed bets.â
âBets? What sort?â Jake asked with curiosity.
So, Richard called out to Matt. After a brief exchange, the latter promptly brought over two documents.
Richard then turned around and passed the document to Winston and Jake, saying, âHere, take a look.â
Winstonâs heart skipped a beat as soon as he saw the added clause on the document. Jake, on the other hand, was astonished.
âWhat the hell? The loser has to cut off a finger?â
At that point, Jake asked with widened eyes, âSeriously, Winston. Is Millie deeply affected by your divorce? This isnât a race! Sheâs practically courting death.â
Winston tightened his grip on the documents before handing them back to Richard. Right then, his expression grew more conflicted.
Was Millie contemplating something drastic? But she showed no signs of distress from the moment they signed their divorce application to the end of the meal. In fact, she seemed happy.
âWoah!â Suddenly, someone nearby shouted, âSheâs overtaken him! No way!â
âI canât believe that woman just overtook Quincy on the toughest Sâcurve!â
The onlookers started exclaiming in disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. The trio immediately
looked down.
At that moment, Millieâs car accelerated, leaving Quincy in the dust. They had missed the spectacular scene just moments earlier.
In no time, Quincy caught up with Millie. But this time, she blocked him from overtaking.
There was a chorus of gasps from the crowd. In the next second, they burst into laughter,
âWell, it looks like this woman is more than just a pretty face. Sheâs got some skills!â
âDammit! Quincy canât lose now. Iâve put my entire life savings on him!â
âHey! Quincy just pulled ahead!â
Upon hearing those words, everyone focused intently on the track below.
Quincy had overtaken Millie. A larger curve lay ahead, known as the most challenging on this route. It was said that this curve had caused numerous accidents, with many racers flipping over.
After this curve, it was a straight road, and Quincy would surely pick up speed. If Millie failed to handle
1/2
this curve, she would be left behind
For Millie, this curve was the perfect chance to overtake Quincy and gain the lead.

Someone from the crowd commented, âSheâs a newbie, isnât she? If so, sheâs probably not going to handle this curve well.â
âI guess thereâs no more surprises in this race. Quincy will definitely win.â
âQuincyâs the champion of street racing, after all. How could he possibly lose to a woman?â another chimed in.
At that point, Quincy slowed down as he prepared to navigate the curve. Everyone had confidence in him. They were certain that he would handle it well.
While the spectators awaited Quincyâs maneuver through the curve, Millieâs car unexpectedly accelerated.
âOh my goodness! This is a major curve. Is she really speeding up?â
Meanwhile, Quincy, who was slowing down, was left dumbfounded. Millieâs car sped past him like a gust of wind, whooshing by in a flash. He stared at her taillights, his eyes reflecting disbelief.
In the next instant, a piercing screech and drift echoed through the quiet mountain. The friction between the tires and pavement ignited fiery sparks.
The crowd stood agape, completely stunned.
Millie forcefully turned the steering wheel. After navigating a curve, she continued to speed up. Suddenly, there was a sharp screech.
The car drifted three times in a row, sending sparks flying. It was so impressive that the onlookersâ jaws dropped. They were left utterly speechless.
âHoly crap!â Jack was astounded and sought confirmation from Richard again. âAâAre you sure thatâs Millie in your car?â
