Genius Wife Is Naughty Again novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212

No one expected that the two cars would arrive at the finishing line at the same time. In order to determine the winner, they had to rewind and inspect the footage taken by the slow motion camera. Everyone was left speechless when the video was broadcasted on the big screen. It showed that the time Mason used to finish the race was 9.0003 seconds while Janet used 9.0004 seconds.As the difference between the two was only as minute as 0.0001 second, did that mean the two cars actually reached the finishing line at the same time? Something like this had never happened in the past!Seeing that, Janet couldn’t help but raise her brows at the time difference. Mason too looked up at the screen, a blank expression on his face.There were very strict rules in place governing the time used by a racer to finish a race. However, as the difference between the two racers this time was too minute, even the referees couldn’t be sure who was the winner. Time passed as the group of referees convened in an impromptu emergency meeting.Five minutes later, one of the referees made his way toward Janet and Mason with a grim expression. Reading from the piece of paper in his hands which contained the outcome of their deliberation, he announced in a solemn tone, “We are unable to determine the winner in the race between the two of you.” He then cleared his throat before continuing, “Therefore, the two of you are the joint winners of this race!”Upon hearing this, the spectators went into an uproar.“I can’t believe it! Two winners?”“My goodness, this is the first race that has two winners!”“Unbelievable!”“I had a hunch just now that there would be two winners. After all, both of them were equally fast!”“Gosh, I’m crazy over Night Shadow! I wonder how she actually looks!”The referee then beckoned his assistant over to bring the award certificates as well as the trophies to the stage before congratulating them both with a smile, “Dark Shadow and Night Shadow, these are the testaments of your glory!”Both Janet and Mason flashed him a faint smile in return before taking the certificates and the trophies from him. The commentator onstage then declared in a delighted and excited voice, “The race has officially come to an end. I hereby announce the winners of Sandfort Autumn Car Racing Championship go to—Dark Shadow and Night Shadow!” Following the commentator’s announcement, the spectators erupted into clamorous cheers.As Janet’s racing suit was bulky and heavy, sweat constantly trickled down her neck, causing great discomfort because it left her skin sticky and clammy. Noticing that Janet was about to leave, the commentator quickly went up to stop her. He flashed her a sheepish grin before saying into the microphone, “The ever mysterious Night Shadow, would you mind removing your helmet so that we can see what you look like?”Standing there, Janet looked suave and dashing in the racing suit. However, she shook her head and said calmly, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible.” There was no way she had the gall to remove the helmet in front of ten million viewers which included those who were present as well as people watching the livestream.The commentator, who did not expect such a direct rejection from Night Shadow, said in a pleading tone, “Night Shadow, are you really saying no? So many fans are here for you tonight!”As soon as the commentator said that, the spectators present at the race track sighed regretfully and started pleading with a note of anticipation in their voices, “Night Shadow, please do show your face!”“Night Shadow, I’m your die-hard fan! Please just let me take a look at your face! Don’t worry because I’ll still support you even if you’re hideous.”“Yes, I’ll still want you to be my wife even if you aren’t pretty!”“Could Night Shadow really be ugly?”“Your guess is as good as mine because I’ve never seen her face before either. But then again, her voice sounds rather raspy.”Listening to their remarks, Benjamin couldn’t help but shake his head. It was because he was the only one who knew that not only was Night Shadow a girl with a sweet voice, she was extremely beautiful too… Yet, he was overwhelmed with regret because he had offended her twice. At that moment, around ten cars driven by the Moss Family edged closer to Janet and formed a circle around her. Everyone gasped in shock, wondering why Young Master Moss was there. In fact, Henry had taken action way earlier. When the race was still ongoing, he had instructed his underlings to drive the cars owned by his family over so that he could get a chance to see the mysterious Night Shadow’s true identity.
