In fact, Nora dodged it and walked straight to the entrance.
Logan, â?â
He was a little surprised. Then, he walked over and asked, âDo you have tickets?â
Nora replied nonchalantly, âYes.â
Logan let out a sigh of relief. He said, âVery well, then you can line up to get in. Iâm heading to the corridor area.â
The runners and the public had different entrances. They still had to line up, so Nora gestured and said, âGo ahead.â
Logan headed down the hallway to the runners and went directly backstage to warm up and get ready.
Nora took Pete by the hand and stood in line quietly.
She let out a lazy yawn.
Of course, she had something as simple as tickets.
Like Yanci, wasnât it just a matter of saying a few words if she wanted tickets for those races?
Besides, it had been a while since people had rushed to give her tickets.
It had been a long time since he had participated in a race, so he was looking forward to racing. She wondered if she could find Jordan and ask him to let her do a couple of laps around the track after the race.
As she pondered, Pete, who was standing next to her, texted Cherry with his head down, âWhere are you guys?â
Cherry quickly replied, âWeâll be there in a moment!â
A relieved Pete wrote, âRemember not to confess anything.â

Pete, ââ¦â
He was about to give her another couple of reminders when suddenly two kids rushed at him and punched his arm.
Pete hung up his phone and looked over at them: it was Brandon and Mia.
The two kids werenât expecting to see Pete here either, so they immediately yelled excitedly, âCherry!â.
Pete, ââ¦â
He had especially worn unisex clothes today because he didnât want to be mistaken for a girl. However, the people around him must have realized his gender the moment they shouted that name, right?
He was silent for a while. Then, he asked, âWhat are you guys doing here?â.
Mia looked shyly at Brandon and replied, âWeâre here to watch the race! Brandon said that car racing is a lot of fun.â
What was fun about�
Pete looked around at the two children but saw no adults with them. He, who normally didnât make any requests or problems, looked at Nora and asked, âMom, why donât we let them come with us?â
Nora, who sounded as if she didnât really care one way or the other, uttered an âokay.â She stood next to them and watched the three children talk to each other. Truth be told, her son should try to make more friends. During her recent observations of him, she discovered that Peteâs mild autism was slowly improving.
As a result, the queue grew from two to four people.
The queue moved very quickly; after all, those who could get tickets were not ordinary people. The people at the entrance didnât dare make things too difficult for them either.
Soon it was their turn.
Nora handed over the tickets.
The security officers glanced at the tickets and then looked at the three children. Only then did he look at Nora and say, âYou can go in, but the three children canât.â
Nora raised her eyebrows.
Brandon was already yelling. âWhy?â
The security officer coughed and replied, âThe children canât come in.â
Children werenât allowed in?
Nora was a little surprised. She hadnât expected such a restriction. When she was abroad, she had easily taken Cherry to the races.
Perhaps it was due to cultural differences?
As she thought about it, she saw Terence running with three kindergarteners behind him. Without waiting in line, they went straight into the compound.
The security officers did not stop them.
Nora, â?â
She raised her eyebrows. She was about to speak when Brandon stepped in front of her and asked, âSo, why are they being allowed inside?â
Terence stood inside and grimaced at them. He said, âBecause my father is Paul Quinlan! So I can bring in as many people as I want.â
Brandon, â?â
He got angry and said, âEven my uncle and Miaâs father is Joel Smith! Why canât we come in?â
The security officers looked at each other at the mention of Joelâs name.
Needless to say, it was Terenceâs idea to keep the children from entering. Even though this was Jordanâs territory, they had to show Paul some courtesy.
However, they didnât expect the two children to be from the Smiths.
They looked at Terence, who waved magnanimously. Then he pointed to Pete and said, âOf course, the Smiths can come in. They can both come in, but she canât.â
âWhy not?â
Brandon and Mia were up in arms. Brandon even shouted, âSheâs Justin Huntâs daughter!â.
Justin Hunt?
The security officers at the entrance were even more astonished. What was going on today â had all the great families of New York gathered to watch the race today?
As they hesitated, Terence scoffed, âJustin Huntâs daughter? Thatâs silly. Sheâs a fake.â
Terence shouted, âThe phone number you gave me yesterday is wrong! I already asked my father for it! Cherry, how dare you impersonate Justin Huntâs daughter! Hmph! Liar!â
Brandon shouted, âThatâs impossible! I asked my uncle. She really is Justin Huntâs daughter.â
Mia nodded as well. She said earnestly to the security officers, âArenât you afraid Uncle Justin will be mad if you donât let Cherry in?â
The security officers at the entrance were speechless. They were trembling with fear.
Noraâs eyebrows drew together as she listened to the childrenâs conversation.
That boy named Terence had all the looks of needing a good lesson. He was probably very naughty and mischievous. Besides, was he making things difficult for Pete?
Was Pete being bullied in the garden?
His gaze turned sharp. He was about to speak when a voice that made the others feel terribly uncomfortable reached them.
âIs that Justin Huntâs daughter? Here, let me take a look.â
Nora turned to see a man in a suit approaching.
He looked like a friendly person, but his eyes had a sinister look in them that made the others uncomfortable. As soon as he approached, Terence also ran toward him as he shouted, âDad!â.
The security officers stood up and greeted him respectfully. âMr. Quinlan!â
Paul ruffled his sonâs hair and then, looked at Pete and Nora. His gaze swept over Pete to fall on Nora. He smiled and said, âWhat a nerve to use Justin Huntâs name to do whatever you want outside. Are you two sick of living?â
Nora narrowed her eyes.
She had never allowed herself to suffer any injustice. If she denied that Pete was Justinâs son in a situation like this, it was very likely that Pete would be hurt.
He was a sensitive child and was not as resilient as Cherry.
Therefore, Nora hesitated only a brief moment before she rebutted decisively and said, âAnd how do you know this child is not Justinâs, Mr. Quinlan?â
Paul looked at the beautiful woman before him. She carried herself in a manner that was neither humble nor overbearing. Her beautiful face was unmatched, and the aura that surrounded her did not seem to have been suppressed by his own. Paul narrowed his eyes.
Terence shouted, âSheâs not! Sheâs a fake! Cherry, youâre not getting in! Hmph!â
At that moment, there was suddenly a commotion in the distance.
Someone said, âMr. Hunt is here!â
