Chapter 32 Dianaâs pov The shirt in my arms still retained Nathanâs heat, even his scent!
My brain was in a mess.
The shirt in my arms still retained Nathanâs heat, even his scent!
My brain was in a mess.
I didnât understand what Nathan was doing!
Just as I was in a daze, Nathan had already put on his suit again.
Due to his excessively excellent physique, his half exposed chest not only did not. make his outfit strange, but also added a sense of wild beauty.
Seeing me staring at him, Nathan suddenly lowered his head and approached me. âHow long will you continue to look at me like this?â
I felt myself blushing through the heat on my face and retreated.
âDonât flatter yourself.â I turned my head and didnât look into his eyes. âI was just thinking you wouldnât be so kind. After all, I just slapped your beloved Avia.â
Sure enough, when it came to Avia, Nathanâs face suddenly cooled down.
âAvia is still ill. She canât control her behavior.â
I was stunned for a moment and then looked at Nathan, âSo you know what Avia did just now was her acting?â
Nathan didnât answer, but his expression already explained everything.
âSo why do you spoil her like this? Do you just like her so much? So much so that you canât tell right from wrong?â
âI have said it. Avia is still sick. Everything sheâs doing now isnât her original intention! Besides, my relationship with her is not what you think. I-â
âShut up!â
I interrupted Nathan irritably.
Every time he talked about Aviaâs nonâexistent illness, I was so irritated. I cured her myself, and ran all the tests on her, the results were perfectly good.
âYou can always trust your Avia, but one day you will know how foolish you are now.
Nathan remained silent.
After a moment, he moved his gaze from my face and said in a hoarse voice, âYou go change your clothes quickly. Arenât you in a hurry to the race?â
I gave Nathan a fierce look and went back to the car..
After changing my clothes, I got out of the car and found that Nathan had not left yet.
He leaned half against the car and looked at me directly.
I didnât know if it was my illusion, his mood seemed to be much better than before.
âNot bad.â He raised his eyebrows, âIt looks much better than that plastic bag.â
I glanced at him and cursed âchildishâ in my heart.
Just at this moment, Victor came over after making a phone call.
âDiana, have you changed your clothes yet? We-â
Victorâs voice suddenly stopped when he saw the shirt on me, his eyes a bit confused, âIs this my shirt?â
âOf course not. It is mine,â Nathan said behind me.
He walked up to Victor, his eyes showing a hint of pride in addition to mockery. âAs for your clothes...â Nathan spread out the rags in his palm and apologized without any guilt. âSorry, I tore them apart.â
Victorâs expression suddenly changed.
1 quickly grabbed Victorâs hand and said, The race is about to begin. Letâs go. Donât forget, I said I will win that sapphire brooch as your birthday gift.â
As soon as my voice fell, Nathanâs raised corner of his mouth pressed down.
But I pretended not to see it and pulled Victorâs wrist to leave the parking lot.
When Victor and I arrived at the competition site, the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people.
The entire path was brightly lit, as bright as day.
Amid cheers, I got into the sports car.
Almost the next second, my heart beat violently twice, and an indescribable sense of unease rose from my body.
Bang!
The deafening sound of gunfire instantly awoke me.
I didnât have time to contemplate where that unease came from. I stepped on the accelerator and, amidst the roar of the motor, drove along with the other nine sports cars on the winding mountain road.
My car was in the backward position, but I was not in a hurry.
I smoothly controlled the steering wheel, taking advantage of the terrain to easily surpass one sports car after another.
Quickly, I was in the second place.
The racer who ranked first was the first to depart.
I assessed the terrain ahead and planned to overtake on the next bend.
However, the sports car running in front of me suddenly began to change lanes and drove in an âSâshapedâ way.
He didnât even care about winning or losing, he only focused on blocking my path.
At the same time, several sports cars that had already been left behind by me caught up and began intentionally pushing me towards the edge of the cliff.
It turned out that the unease was not my illusion.
These racing drivers were obviously bribed and wanted to kill me during the race.<
Once again, passing by the cliff, I was in a cold sweat!
If I continued like this, I was afraid I would even fall under the cliff with my car.
After a brief hesitation, I simply stepped on the gas pedal and ran straight into the rear of the sports car in front of me.
Although there might be some danger, it was better than falling off a cliff.
The front car instantly deviated from the track and collided headâon with the mountain.
And my car also ejected its airbag under the strong impact!
The other racing drivers braked urgently.
The race was forced to terminate.
Everyone was stunned.
The organizer quickly sent people to check.
In a moment, the ambulance picked up the racing driver who had hit the mountain.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The audience were clamoring for refunds, and several irritable people even rushed up to fight with the security guards.
I took a breath in the car and as more and more people gathered outside, I got off.
With just one glance, I saw Avia standing next to Nathan.
She was obviously surprised, as if I shouldnât have appeared here.
I instantly understood everything.
It seemed that this was Aviaâs plan again.
She not only wanted to defame me, but also wanted me to die in the race.
I stared at Avia, her cold eyes trembling with fear.
She didnât even dare to look up into my eyes and could only try to hide herself behind Nathan.
Strangely, Nathan, who had always regarded her as a treasure, did not notice her panicked behavior.
At this moment, Nathan was staring at me, his expression solemn.
It was like... He was worried about me.
I saw him take a step in the direction where I was.
But immediately, my vision was blocked.
Victor rushed up to me and hugged me in his arms.
âDiana! Are you okay? Blessed by the moon, youâre still alive.â
His voice trembled with fear, and his face was pale.
It seemed that the person who had just had an accident was not me, but him.
âIâm fine.â I patted Victorâs shoulder to calm him down, but he still hugged me tightly.
A warm current surged through my heart.
L âIf you continue but by being strangled by you!â I joked, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Victor immediately let me go, his eyes a bit red.
Hour at âDonât talk nonsense,â he frowned. âAre you sure youâre okay? Move and legs. There may be some injure you donât notice.â
I could only turn around a few times and bounced around, âAre you relieved now? There was an airbag. I was fine.â
Victor finally calmed down and went to check my car.
As my gaze widened, I saw Nathan and Avia on his side.
After the panic, Aviaâs face reappeared with familiar malice, as if regretting why I hadnât died.
car needs âThe front lip of your to be replaced,â Victor said as he walked up to me and saw me staring at something. âWhat are you looking at?â
âItâs nothing.â I squinted my eyes, âI just suddenly realized that I seemed to be too kind to Avia.â
Victor was taken aback and said, âAre you saying she caused this accident?â
âYou can send someone to investigate. With evidence, we can better confront her.â Victor nodded and said, âIâll take you home first.â
âWait a moment.â I rejected Victorâs proposal, âI said I want to help you get that sapphire brooch.â
âWhy are you talking about that brooch?â Victor sighed. âThe race canât even continue.â
âI didnât say I want to get that brooch through the race. If I canât compete, Iâll buy it. The organizers must have lost a lot of money.
If I offer to spend 50 million to get that brooch, they wonât refuse.â
âBut...â
Victor wanted to say something else, but I had already walked up to the organizer with a worried expression on his face.
When I proposed to buy that brooch, his eyes were instantly lit up.
âAlright! Alright! Iâll take you to get that brooch, I-
âWait a minute,â a cold voice interrupted the organizer.
I saw Nathan walking towards us.
Avia and Claud followed behind him.
âHow can you resell the prize without a clear winner in the race?â Nathan smiled.
The organizer looked embarrassed, âBut the contestants canât continue to race. If we sell that brooch, we can still reduce some losses.â
âI can help you bear your losses, but I want this game to continue,â Nathanâs voice was unquestionable.
âSorry what?â The organizer looked puzzled and stood in the same spot dumbfounded.
Nathan turned his head to look at me and curled his lips. âWhat about this? Miss Reist, are you interested in racing with me?
Whoever wins will get that brooch.â
