Chapter 33 Dianaâs pov Many people have already cast their gaze at us, and even those who were originally fighting against the guards have stopped.
After all, with Nathanâs appearance and identity, wherever he went, he was the focus of the crowd, the most eyeâcatching being.
And now, he actually proposed to participate in the competition in person.
This was much more exciting than watching unknown racing drivers racing wildly.
A heated discussion came from the crowdâ
âAlpha Nathan! Why does he suddenly want to race?â
âDidnât you hear that? He wants that sapphire brooch.â
âAh? But Alpha Nathan is so rich. How could he lower himself to participate in a race just for a brooch.
âI know! Do you see the beautiful girl next to him? It seems to be Avia! It must be Avia who wants that brooch, so Alpha Nathan decided to compete to satisfy her.â
âOh, by the way, have you heard about it? In fact, at the last auction, the pearl bracelet was still taken by Alpha Nathan. I heard he spent 800 million on that bracelet to give it to Avia.â
âIâm too shocked. Isnât this Avia too lucky?â
My thoughts returned to the auction with all the discussions. A sarcastic smile flashed from the corner of my mouth.
So... Was Nathan doing it again for Avia?
I casually glanced at Nathan and asked in a cold voice, âWhy should I agree?â
Nathan raised his eyebrows, his eyes teasing.
âItâs just a game. Donât you dare?â
âJust ignore him.â Victor took my hand and said, âItâs a provocation. Donât waste time on him.â
Of course I knew this was Nathanâs provocation.
If it were at another time, I might mock his childishness and then pay to take the brooch and leave.
But now, something suddenly reminded me.
âOkay, I agree,â I said calmly, âbut I want to increase the bet.â
âSure,â Nathan didnât hesitate at all.
âDonât you ask what the bet is?â I looked at him suspiciously.
âAnything will do,â Nathan said with a faint smile.
âYou will lose,â I warned.
Nathan casually curled his lips.
âOkay, the bet Iâm going to increase is, if I win, Iâll âDonât daydream! You canât win at all!â
Before I could reveal my bet, Claud jumped out to mock me.
âYou want to win Alpha Nathan? Thatâs a big joke! Since you want to increase the bet, we also need to increase the bet.
âSure,â I said with a nonchalant expression.
âIf we win, you must resign from the hospital tomorrow and publicly admit that you relied on your family background and personal relationship with William to take the position of director.â
As soon as Claud finished speaking, Nathanâs eyebrows suddenly tightened.
He turned his head as if to say something to Claud, but I interrupted him.
âOkay, I agree.â I chuckled disdainfully, âbut at the same time, you must also agree to my bet,â
âWhat is it?â Claud asked.
I didnât look at Claud, but instead turned my gaze to Nathan and hooked my finger at him, âCome here.â
Nathanâs eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment, just when everyone thought he wouldnât listen to me, Nathan walked towards me.
When he was only three feet away from me, he stopped.
âGo ahead,â he said lightly.
âCome closer,â I said.
Nathan had no expression on his face and took another step towards me, narrowing the distance between us to within half of his arm.
The crowd suddenly resounded with inhaling sounds.
The sound of gossiping came from all directions, like a tide.
I saw Aviaâs face turn red with anger, and her lips were about to be bitten apart.
Remembering all the bad deeds she had done, I smiled coldly in my heart. âCan you say it now?â Nathan asked.
âBow your head,â I continued to demand.
Nathanâs eyes finally flashed a hint of surprise.
But he still followed my words and lowered his head.
When our gazes were almost at the same level, he curved his lips and smiled.
By his ear, I said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, âThe additional bet is that if I win, I want you to send someone to reâexamine Avia. And you must do it without her knowing â
Nathanâs body tightened instantly, and his amber pupils dimmed.
âAre you just telling me this?â He asked.
âWhat else are you thinking?â I asked back.
âI thought you would have a hot kiss with me, reminiscing about our past,â Nathan said shamelessly.
I pushed him away.
âYouâre talking nonsense again.â I chuckled sarcastically. âYour and my past are a darkness. Is there any need to reminisce?â
Nathan stared at me with a heavy gaze, unable to see joy or anger in his eyes.
âDo you agree or not?â I asked.
Nathan remained silent.
Just when I thought he would give up the race because of Avia, he nodded calmly.
âOkay, I agree.â
The organizer quickly ordered people to clean up the scene.
Because my car suffered a serious impact and Nathan didnât drive a sports car over today, he kindly prepared race cars of the same specification for us.
The audience resumed betting.
I knew most people bet that Nathan would win.
In previous races, I have always concealed my identity and used fake names.
Therefore, most people didnât know that the mythical racer who won numerous prizes was me.
In their eyes, I was just an unknown ordinary racing driver.
Choosing Nathan was clearly a more secure choice.
The cheers at the scene were huge.
Nathan and I drove on the track side by side.
With a gunshot, I stepped on the gas pedal and rushed up the mountain path.
And Nathan almost set off at the same time as me.
After several turns, we were still in a state of being side by side.
I have seen Nathanâs driving skills before.
I knew he excelled at this.
But I didnât expect him to be so skilled.
Obviously, the last time he retained his true strength for safety on the highway.
If we continued like this, it would be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
For me, the risk would alse increase.
Just as I was thinking, a strong wind suddenly flashed in my ear.
Next, I saw Nathan overtake me after a turn, His car flew out like an arrow, leaving me behind!
