Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 929

"What a shame," Joe murmured, shaking his head softly as the Reyes family's team packed it in. It was a real bummer, but rules are rules. "Come on, let's head inside," he said, leading the way into the venue.

Inside, people from all the big families were trickling in. Zachary, along with Luke and the crew, had arrived early. "Zachary, congrats in advance! This race is practically in the bag for the Jones family," folks were saying, convinced the Jones had it all sewn up.

Zachary chuckled modestly, "The race hasn't even started. It's not a done deal yet."

"Oh, come on, Zachary! The Reyes family doesn't stand a chance against yours. Once this race wraps up, the Reyes team will probably call it quits," someone chimed in.

"Exactly! This race is just a formality. The Reyes should throw in the towel already. Zachary, you've got a real gem in your son. Young Luke's got some of the best racing skills around here," another added.

Zachary kept smiling, but you could see the pride all over his face. Luke, meanwhile, puffed up with pride himself. He was on the hefty side, and when he grinned, his tiny eyes seemed to vanish entirely.

"Look, the Reyes are here!" someone with a keen eye pointed out as Karter and his crew walked in.

People turned to look, curious. "Who's that girl walking next to the head of the Reyes family?" someone asked.

"You haven't heard? She's Connor's fiancée, the recently discovered Miss Reyes, and she's racing for them too," came the reply.

"No way, are they really that strapped for talent? Letting a girl race?" a man exclaimed, baffled. "They're already not as strong as the Jones, and now they're adding dead weight? They should just pack it in."
