Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the imminent arrival of Lawrence, Carl quickly pulled Victoria aside and asked in a low voice, "Did you see Wind today? When?"
Victoria thought for a moment and truthfully replied, "This morning."
She had just seen herself in the mirror while getting ready in the morning.
Arnold was instantly overjoyed, "Darling, you actually know the legendary racer Wind? When can you introduce me to him? I've been wanting to meet him for a long time!"
"Not so fast." Travis rubbed his chin and carefully went over the details again, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Victoria, we've been together all day today. You didn't go out alone, so when did you have the time to meet Wind?"
Arnold realized he was right. Victoria had been with them the whole day.
He immediately lowered his voice and asked Victoria, "Did you intentionally lie about meeting Wind just to refute Kyle?"
Victoria was taken aback, "?"
Lie?
Arnold clenched his right fist and hit his left palm, "Then it's over. Lawrence is about to arrive, and he's a friend of Wind. If he sees you, won't your lie be exposed?"
"Exposed?" Elizabeth also became nervous. Seeing Lawrence approaching, what if he publicly accused Victoria of lying?
Carl gritted his teeth and took on a protective stance for Jack, as if he was willing to risk his life to protect Victoria.
"It's okay, Little Victoria. Even if you were lying, I will support you unconditionally. You can just make up anything!"
Victoria, "..."
Ralph couldn't listen any longer and helplessly shook his head. "Alright, you guys are overthinking it. Stop guessing randomly."
Although they were speaking in low voices, Kyle had been paying close attention to Victoria's every move and could still hear a few sentences.
So Victoria was lying and making up stories. She hadn't actually seen Wind today!
Huh, she was just asking for trouble!
When Lawrence arrived later, she could look forward to being exposed in front of everyone!
Before long, two security guards respectfully led an elegant old man over.
"Mr. Lawrence, please come this way."
Although the old man was getting up in age, he had a gentlemanly demeanor. He was dressed in a vintage British suit, meticulously combed his gray hair back, and wore a black top hat on his head, resembling a noble from the Middle Ages.
The old man leaned on a silver cane with a row of black-suited bodyguards following behind him. It was clear that his status was extraordinary.
The racing fans at the scene immediately recognized him. It was indeed Mr. Lawrence!
He had once formed a racing team together with the legendary racer Wind!
Kyle greeted him excitedly, "Mr. Lawrence, hello!"
Lawrence recognized Kyle, after all, Kyle had a strong presence and reputation among the racers. He nodded politely.
However, when faced with Kyle's greeting, Lawrence did not respond.
He continued walking without stopping and headed straight ahead.
Kyle was taken aback for a moment and hurriedly caught up, "Since Wind retired two years ago, you disbanded the racing team and stopped paying attention to racing. It's a surprise to see you suddenly show up at the racing event today. Everyone is very excited."
Upon hearing Wind's retirement, a trace of regret and nostalgia appeared in Lawrence's eyes.
After two years, he still felt extremely sorry for Wind's retirement.
Sensing Lawrence's sorrow, Kyle immediately took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "After Wind retired, his social media accounts haven't been updated. It's said that he had a fatal accident... Yet someone lied and said they saw Wind today..."
Lawrence's expression turned cold upon hearing this. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his cane slammed heavily onto the ground.
This was clearly a sign of anger.
Kyle was slightly stunned but immediately felt a sense of schadenfreude.
Lawrence had a close relationship with Wind and disliked anyone using Wind. But Victoria had lied about seeing Wind today, which obviously touched Lawrence's sore spot. It was natural for Lawrence to get angry.
Just as Kyle was reveling in his schadenfreude, Lawrence finally looked directly at him.
"Who told you that Wind had a fatal accident?"
"Mr. Lawrence, this..." Kyle murmured.
Lawrence slammed his cane heavily, his eyes filled with volcanic anger as he scolded loudly, "Who gave you the audacity to curse Wind! Wind is perfectly fine!!"
What?
Wind didn't die?
