Chapter 69
He roughly shook Chris, who was sleeping with a shirt covering his eyes. “Look! It’s the ghost drift. It’s back!”
Chris lazily opened his eyes. “You’re pulling my leg.”
However, the other person stammered in response, “L-look! Look!”
The ghost drift was so fast that it was natural he wouldn’t be able to catch a glimpse of it.
However, Chris still saw it and saw how Elyse was overtaken by the other car and was left behind by a mile.
He jumped off the car wanting to check the on-site monitor. Zoom! The other car had already returned to the starting point.
The competition ended as Julia and Amelie got down from the car.
Chris rubbed his eyes as he initially thought that it was Julia who was driving.
However, after a second look, he confirmed that it was Amelie who got down from the driver’s seat.
It was surprising to him as Elyse was known to have good technique and even the majority of the men there weren’t her competition.
However, Amelie won instead.
The person who was talking to Chris was too excited that he ran over and knelt before Amelie before chanting, “Idol! My idol!”
His surname was Perez and people addressed him as Mr. Perez.
He loved racing and was also a good person.
Mr. Perez couldn’t help but be in awe when he saw Amelie pull off the ghost drift.
He was so impressed that he was willing to die right in front of her if someone told him to. That was how outstanding Amelie was to him.
“Ghost drift? Isn’t that Dash’s move?”
The people nearby heard Mr. Perez’s chant and they started talking about it.
“Could she be Dash?”
“Dash is a woman?”
Back then, when Amelie was joining racing competitions, she always had her heavy helmet on and never showed her face.
Her racing suit was also gender neutral. So, everyone just felt that she was skinny and never assumed that she was a woman.
Leo, who was standing not far away, didn’t miss the race as well.
Even though he felt that Amelie was overestimating herself, he was still worried.
Racing was dangerous, and she could have lost her life. Despite her being a pain in the neck, he didn’t want her to actually die
In the end, not only did she not get into an accident, she even won against Elyse.
That made Leo’s somber gaze turn darker, but his dark eyes were glinting more than ever before.
After their divorce, Amelie had indeed given him many surprises. However, none of them were as shocking as
this.
He had a cornea transplant, but his vision was not comparable to those with normal eyesight. So, he couldn’t see so far away and missed the ghost drift that happened.
However, he knew very well that not many women could beat Elyse.
Now that Amelie won with a much higher score, it could only mean that she was a professional!
His useless ex-wife was a professional car-racer? What even?!
“Yo, can you believe that’s the woman you missed out on?” Even though Chris didn’t see Amelie’s ghost drift, it was a fact that she won against Elyse.
He walked over and taunted.
Leo’s face was rigid. He didn’t respond, but his face hurt
Indeed, Amelie’s move this time was a slap to his face.
He treated her coldly for four years to vent his anger. In the eyes of the outsiders, it seemed like he was treating a gem like it was gravel.
This was a huge blow to Leo’s pride.
If she had this capability, why did she hound him in the first place?
The more Amelie revealed herself, the more he couldn’t understand her.
On the other hand, Elyse walked over with her dark face. She didn’t complete the racecourse.
When Amelie used the ghost drift, she had already sealed the game.
Soon after, the distance between her and Amelie only got farther. It was pointless to finish the whole course as it would only add to her humiliation.
She stopped before Amelie. “Miss Dillon, let’s have another round.”
