After Rebirth She Strikes Back (Simone) novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Quinn watched the small figure on the track, looking worried.

He thought, Simone must have been exhausted after running a lap. Poor girl. Even if she loses, I won’t let her suffer from the fallout alone. Til leave the Irwin family with her and take good care of her on my own.

“Nolan might be stingy most of the time, but he is always generous when in a good mood. I have saved enough money for us to live a good life.

As the smallest girl in the race. Simone ran last all the way. Nobody believed she could win Quinn thought so too until Finn suddenly exclaimed.

“Look at that. Simone overtook them.”

Only then did Quinn look over heads at Simone who had been running at a constant pace. She suddenly kicked into high gear and overtook the runners ahead of her one by one.

Quinn was surprised, his eyes fixed on her, and murmured, “Please, Counc on.

With just one lap away to the finish line, Simone ran even faster to catch up with Winona, who had been half a lap ahead. Simone kept her breathing nice and steady.

“She’s been pacing herself for the final sprint, Timothy said, quietly impressed by Simone’s incredible stamina.

“Wow, Simone’s awesome! If I didn’t know she was the top student of Sogin High School, I’d think she was a pro athlete,” Finn said, giving Claire an excited high–five.

“She indeed has stupendous stamina,” Alex said, his tone full of admiration

Winona’s expression changed slightly as she noticed Simone closing in, and she was breathing irregularly.

Winona thought. That’s impossible While Simone got closer and closer and ran faster and faster, Winona was dripping with sweat.

Winona thought ‘I can’t lose. I won’t lose. Just as Simone was about to overtake her. Winona extended her right foot with tranquility.

Simone had been cautious of Winona from the start, but she hadn’t expected her to do such dirty work

As she ran by Winona, Simone surged forward, stomping down hard on Winona’s foot.”

Winona’s

face turned pale, and a sharp, searing pain shot through her foot. “Damn you, Simone,” she cursed. She was so mad, but she had to grit her teeth and force herself to keep running

Simone led the way in the race and was the first one to cross the finish line.

The crowd erupted into cheers. The Sogin High School students swarmed Simone, hoisting her high into the air.

Simone crossed the finish line a minute before Winona did. Seeing Simone bask in the attention, Winona muttered under her breath, “First place! Please, it’s just a running race.

The race results were already clear. Quinn walked toward them, leaning on a crutch. Winona immediately caught sight of him.

Winona thought. Simone and Quinn had just met a handful of times. They barely know each other. He must be here for me.

“Quinn Winora called out, her voice filled with excitement. She eagerly ran toward him.

But Quinn didn’t spare her a glance. He walked right past her and stopped in front of Simone. “You have been exhausted. Have some water,” he said gently to Simone, pulling out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead

Simone took the water without hesitation, taking a sip while Quinn moped her up. It looked like they got along well

Winona couldn’t believe what she saw. She thought, ‘Quinn was just a nobody in my eyes, but he was my brother. How could he treat Simone better

than be ever treated me?

Simone was somewhat taken aback when she saw Qulin walking to her with his crutch. “What are you doing here?” she said with concern.

Quinn awkwardly shifted his gaze. He didn’t want Simone to feel sorry for him, so he lied, “Finn had a race today. I came to cheer him on” He shot

a look at Finn.

Finn understood immediately and said. “Yeah, Quinn’s here for me.

“Oh, I see, Simone said casually and didn’t think much of it.

Before Quinn could say more, a sharp voice cut through the air. “Quinn, how can you be so close to her!!” Winona snapped, her finger pointing angrily at Simone.

Quinn’s expression darkened as he turned to Winona. The warmth he showed Simone had gone, replaced by indifference.

“First of all, I’m not your brother. Second, whoever I get close to is none of your business. And third, Simone’s my sister. Got it?” He deliberately emphasized the word “sister”

“But Quinn, you’ve barely known her! We’re the ones who grew up together,” said Winona in a mixed mood. She thought, I dislike Quinn being just a useless gamer from a vocational school, but I like him treating me well We’ve had a row, but he couldn’t shift his attention from me to Simone who I hate most

Winona winced as a sharp pain shot through her foot, making her feel worse. “Quinn, do you know what she just did to me!” said Winona tentatively.

Quinn’s face darkened upon hearing this. “You’re the one who started it. Simone just hurt your foot. You deserved

When Winona extended her fool, Quinn had an overwhelming urge to slap her.

Winona glared at Simone coldly, looking hostile, “Why do you defend her like this? You’ve only met her a few times.”

Quinn suddenly chuckled, his gaze filled with malice as he looked at Winona. Tve only known Simone for a short time, but I know she sees me at her family. You on the other hand, are nothing but a leech, always taking and never giving
