Chapter 109
A deal with the devil
Chapter 109 The Weiss family was wellâoff, becoming a target for various relatives seeking to curry favor While Owen Weiss, a kindâhearted man and the only son of three generations, had no siblings of his own.
So naturally, he would always extend a helping hand to his relatives whenever he could.
Among those who benefited the most were Wayne a generosity of the Weiss family.
e and Grant Clay, sons of Shirleyâs grandmotherâs brother. Over the years, the entire Clay family owed much to the From elementary school to high school, Jessica and Sabrina often visited Weiss Manor. As a result, Shirley knew them both inside out.
When Sabrina pursued Tristan, Shirley saw right through her Sabrina had been drawn to Tristanâs meteoric rise in the racing world rather than to the man himself.
Thinking about Tristanbrought a pang of regret to Shirleyâs heart. He was a gendus on the track and a kind soul off it. Shirley had even benefited from his guidance in her racing days. His untimely end was a tragedy that still left her sighing.
Sabrinaâs voice snapped Shirley out of her thoughts. âMr. Clarke, please stop guiltâtripping me. Yes, youâve invested a lot in me these past two years, but Iâve also eamed the team a significant amount of moneyâ
Het tone hardened as she continued, âIn fact, teams have been trying to recruit me for over a year. Over the past six months, Iâve received countless offers with sky- high salaries. Yet I stayed with Turbo Impact. Iâve already done my part for you and Tristan.
My conscience is clear â
Sabrinaâs face grew darker as she noticed the judgmental gazes around her.
She had stayed with Turbo Impact longer than she wanted, fearing the backdash of being called ungrateful. But no matter how much she sacrificed, people still pointed fingers She had paid a price for carrying Tristanâs legacy for the past two years. She had avoided relationships, sidestepped better opportunities, and anchored herself to a team she no longer believed in.
But she had reached her limit How could someone destined to soar lilo a phoenix allow themselves to be confined to a tiny cage?
Sabrina tumed to leave without waiting for Tomasâ response.
âWait!â Tomas grabbed her wrist, his voice trembling with desperation. âYour real earnings only began this year. They donât even come close to what Iâve invested in YOU Tomas knew full well that Sabrinaâs contract with Turbo Impact had already expired. He had no right to compel her to stay, which was why his tone carried nothing but pleading.
He pleaded, âSabrina, I know I canât force you to stay. I get that the contract expired. But Iâm begging you, just stay for six more months. Please gratitude, for Tristanâs sake.â
show some sabrina shook off his hand with a sharp motion, her face colder than ever. âLet me make this clear. I never promised to stay with Turbo Impact forever. A professional racerâs prime is short, and Iâm not about to waste it for anyone.â
She added, âDonât guiltâtrip me, Mr. Clarke. Iâve done more than enough for you and the team. I owe you nothing.â
Six more months? She scoffed at the thought.
Did Tomas even know what a single international championship could earn her? Turbo Impact couldnât offer her the resources or sponsorships she needed to advance.
Teams like Juggernaut Racing were offering her sponsorship deals the moment she signed. More importantly, Lewis had joined Juggernaut Racing She would have topâtier resources and partnerships Turbo Impact could never dream of providing Tomas staggered back, lús face pale. The light in his eyes dimmed, and after a long pause, he tumed slowly, dragging his injured leg behind him.
Charlie Thatcher, one of Turbo Impactâs mechanics, rushed to support Tomas, his expression clouded with frustration. âMr.
Clarke, I told you! Never put all your faith in one person. You thought Sabrina was loyal, but look where thatâs gotten us.â
Tomas shook his head, tears welling up in his reddened eyes. âCharlie, Iâve ruined Turbo Impact. This is all my fault It was Tomas himself who had favored Sabrina, pouring all of the teamâs resources into her alone.
His partiality had caused dissatisfaction among the other members, leading to some being poached by rival teams and others leaving altogether How could he have been so foolish as to believe that Sabrina would be his support in the latter years of his life, to the point of investing everything in her?
Now, as he reflected onit, Tomas finally understood. Sabrinaâs care for him after Tristanâs passing hadnât been as selfless as it seemed.
Her promises were likely calculated moves to gain his trust, ensuring he would pour all of Turbo Impactâs resources into her development.
