Chapter 205



Then they turned to end up seeing a plump but stocky woman striding in.

Behind her was a petite figure that had been completely covered by her. It wasn’t until Mrs. Hoffman entered the room that the others saw the person behind her.

Winston’s eyes lit up at the sight of her.

The woman’s almond-shaped eyes were narrowed and gave off a very dejected air. Yet her facial features were magnificent, and her skin was so white it seemed luminescent.

It was she who had just spoken.

Obviously, Logan saw Nora, too. His wild, untamed countenance was filled with surprise. He tensed his jaw but did not immediately refute her.

Surprisingly, it was Linson who frowned and asked, “Who are you, what are you doing?”

Mrs. Hoffman thought about what had just happened and became quite angry. She immediately said, “She’s Jimmy’s savior, as well as Miss Smith of the Andersons.”

‘Miss Smith of the Anderson’s’…. She had obviously made a name for herself at the dance party the other time.

Perhaps because Linson had also heard of her, he didn’t ask further. He merely sneered, “So it’s you, Miss Smith. I advise you not to interrupt when other people are talking. Those who don’t know about the subject would have thought you were going to run instead of Logan.”

“Logan’s name is something you can mention?” Logan’s friend shouted angrily, “You should call him Mr. Anderson!”.

In the world of auto racing, seniority mattered a lot.

Linson looked down and said very arrogantly, “I think people should speak to their abilities in the car racing world. Besides, this is the racers’ room. Women are best kept out of this place. However, yours is a special situation, Logan. With your leg in that condition, it’s understandable that the Andersons would be concerned about you and send someone to supervise you.”

Then, he laughed and said, “Miss Smith, right? Don’t worry. There is no doubt that I will let Logan lose in a very dignified manner today. After all, no matter what, I have to show our King of Racing here some courtesy, don’t I?”

His words infuriated those present.

Mrs. Hoffman reprimanded him. “Linson, you’re here to race, so race like you should! Why do you have to talk in such an exasperated manner?”

Linson scoffed, “Mrs. Hoffman, I know you are the organizer of this place, Are the races you run so fair that people no longer have the right to speak?”

Mrs. Hoffman, “!”

She had never been an eloquent person and only knew how to act slick. However, it didn’t seem that acting cunningly was going to do any good in this situation.

This was because there was no way Linson was going to show Jordan any courtesy. He was a broker that Winston had specifically approached to deal with Logan. Moreover, he was also someone Paul was using to deal with Jordan.

After all, Jordan had made a lot of money over the years through Logan.

Seeing that Mrs. Hoffman was so angry she was speechless, Winston laughed and said, “It’s men’s business, Mrs. Hoffman. What are women meddling for? We men may be competing with each other, but we’ll still be mindful of our personal relationships with each other, so this won’t affect our relationship, will it, Miss Smith?”

Winston had wanted to take Nora as his wife back then, but he hadn’t succeeded. Although he hated her for it, seeing her face, he could no longer hate her at all.

It would be great if he could get hold of a beauty like her.

Hearing him say that, Linson also cooperated with him and said, “All right, let’s not argue anymore. You’d better hurry up and find a replacement, Logan-The King of Racing, lest no one take your place in the race later. Given the state of your leg, your life will be in danger if you can’t hit the brakes.”

The race tracks were filled with places of a high level of difficulty. The racers also drove as fast as they could go, so it would be terrible if one couldn’t hit the brakes.

When Linson said that, Mrs. Hoffman immediately looked at Logan and said, “Yes, that’s right. If you really can’t, then don’t bother going to the field and quit. You can get the money back after you lose it, but if you lose your life, you won’t have anything left!”.

Logan gritted his teeth.

He was about to speak when Nora said, “Haven’t I said it already? I will.”

“…”

The room was silent for a moment.

A moment later, Mrs. Hoffman was the first to speak. She said, “Racing is not like driving, Miss Smith. It’s not that simple. Besides, you must know the car and its peculiarities well. You mustn’t go into the field…”

Winston laughed too. He said, “You’re right, Miss Smith. This is not a game. 160 miles per hour is already as fast as you can normally go when driving, isn’t it? However, in racing, the minimum speed starts at 200 miles per hour. People who don’t know how to race put their whole lives on the line.”

Linson also curved his lip in disdain. He said, “Have you given up completely, Logan-The King of Racing? Instead of letting a woman run in your place, it will be more dignified for you if you admit defeat at once.”

Almost as soon as he said that, Logan suddenly said, “I am free to choose whomever I want as my replacement. If memory serves me correctly, this place seems to be my ward. Linson, if you want an exclusive room, then please wait until you win the championship. Now, please leave.”

Only champions had their own rooms at racetracks.

Even if Linson was the first runner-up, he had to change and warm up with the rest of the runners.

This was an unwritten rule in the racing world.

Logan’s words provoked Linson, making him squint. He scoffed, “Indeed. Well, enjoy your exclusive room for the last time, then, Logan-The King of Racing. After all, I’m afraid you won’t be enjoying such a treat again after today!”

After leaving those words, he turned around and said, “Let’s go!”

Winston looked at Nora. He wanted to flirt with her and strike up a conversation, but in the end he left without saying anything.

In the living room only Nora, Mrs. Hoffman, Logan and Logan’s friend remained.

It was clear that none of them took seriously what Nora had just said. Mrs. Hoffman said worriedly, “What’s wrong? Even if you can’t fill the first spot, the substitute should be able to get on the field, right? Hasn’t Jordan been looking for a substitute for you for the past few days?”

Logan pursed his lips tightly as his friend said angrily, “When had the White Team ever needed a substitute in the past when Logan was there? This year we needed one at the last minute, so we looked for one, but with Linson threatening them, no one is willing to do it! I’m practically out of options! They’re backing us into a corner.”

Mrs. Hoffman said angrily, “Those people are too mean!”.

Just as the three were getting very worried, Nora asked, “Where can I change my clothes?”.

The other three, “???”

Mrs. Hoffman was the first to address her. She looked at her in disbelief. “Miss Smith?”

Logan’s friend was next. He asked, “Weren’t you trying to bail us out? Surely you weren’t serious, were you?”

Nora ignored the two and stared at Logan.

Logan was silent for quite a while before suddenly asking, “Do you have a racing suit?”

The racers’ suits and helmets were custom-made.

Nora pulled the backpack she carried close to her back and lifted it a little to indicate that her racing suit was inside.

From the beginning, her purpose in coming was to see if she could find an opportunity for a couple of laps, so naturally she had brought her gear.

Logan clenched his fists and said, “…. Okay, then.”
