“To bring glory to Nolan Group, of course!” Carmen smiled cheerfully. The racing suit hugged her body in the right places and showed off her beautiful figure. Her radiant face, coupled with her mane of long, shiny hair, made her look extremely alluring.
Nathan couldn’t help but hug her tightly. “I heard that you’ve managed to bring your speed up to 430 miles an hour. It’s great to have you back on our team!”
“I only managed to do that once! It doesn’t mean I’ll be able to reach 430 miles an hour in every single race.” Carmen laughed, looking very sexy as she did.
However, there was a hint of pride in her voice.
Carmen held the record for the fastest racing speed in the country. For the last few years, she had been racing with another team overseas. However, she had received news that Nolan Group was participating in an international competition. Immediately, her mind had jumped to Lucas’s cold, beautiful face, and his powerful position in society.
This was an excellent chance for her to get close to him, and she wasn’t going to pass it up.
She was the fastest racer in the entire country, after all! Only a woman like her could befit a man like him.
Letting go of Nathan, Carmen made her way over to Lucas and said with a brilliant smile, “Mr. Nolan, aren’t you happy to see me?”
“Of course, I’m happy to see you. Thank you for offering to help us during our hour of need,” Lucas replied politely. “Please have a seat. Regarding your participation in this race, if you have any conditions you’d like us to fulfill, please feel free to mention them.”
“Just give me the same treatment as you extend to Mr. Cartier here.” Carmen continued to flash her brilliant smile at him. She believed firmly that, with time, she would be able to make Lucas fall in love with her.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn was busy - very busy.
However, when the afternoon rolled around, she still took the time off to drop by Mr. Chapman’s for a visit.
Mr. Chapman was well on his way to recovery. In fact, he already looked much better than he did yesterday.
When he saw Ashlyn, Mr. Chapman stretched an arm out to her and croaked, “My... child.”
“Your body is still very weak, so there’s no need for you to greet me.” Ashlyn dragged a chair over and sat down by his bedside. She surveyed the old man rather coolly.
To this day, she still couldn’t believe that her mother was a member of the Chapman family.
None of Mr. Chapman’s features resembled her mother’s at all.
“I-is my mother really from the Chapman family?” Ashlyn felt a little doubtful. The emotions swirling within her were so complicated that she couldn’t put them into words.
“I...” Just as Mr. Chapman began to say something, the door swung open, and a nurse stepped into the room. She was holding an envelope in her hand.
“Dr. Berry, the results of your paternity test is out.”
Ashlyn felt her heart skip a beat. Standing up abruptly, she took the envelope from the nurse.
