Finally Spoke
“Lucille…”
Just as they were about to reach the turn, Lucille finally spoke. “Turn the steering wheel all the way. Press the brake slightly and speed up quickly after the bend.”
Austin perked up and followed her instructions.
The tires left a string of prints on the ground. At the very last moment, the car’s body was flung to the very extreme, and then smoothly drifted past the turn like a textbook example of perfection.
Over and over again, under Lucille’s instructions, Austin passed through the rest of the intersection through extreme drifting.
Meanwhile, every time Albert made a turn, he would greatly slow down. With the huge contrast in speed, Austin had already caught up with him.
The 30–second gap was closed bit by bit.
Albert’s eyes almost popped out of his head. His desire to not lose became
more and more intense.
He sped up crazily, but the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made.
When Albert passed through the last turn, half of his car went out of the track..
Although he tried his best to make up for it, he could only watch Austin’s sports car whistling past him.
Austin had won!
After rushing past the finish line, Austin was so excited that he yelled, “You’re the best, Lucille! You’re the best! I’ll follow you forever!”
Lucille covered her ears without a word.
Seeing the result of the competition, the surrounding onlookers were so shocked that their jaws dropped. All of them stood rooted to the ground,
dumbfounded. No one dared to believe that it was true.
Among them, there were only a handful of people who had actually witnessed
Lucille’s excellent driving skills. Most of them scoffed at her and thought that Lucille was nothing more than a young girl. They all figured that there was no way she could be that capable.
Those who had loudly voiced their doubts earlier had their mouths wide open right then. All they wanted to do was get on their knees after witnessing the racing competition.
They had to kneel down to Lucille.
Molly was the most excited. She raised her voice a shouted, “Pay up! Pay up!”
At the beginning of the match, someone took the lead to start a bet. Many people bet on Albert to win the match, while Molly took out all she had to bet on Lucille’s victory.
That meant she had made a lot of money.
Molly counted with her fingers and found that she would be making ten times
the amount in return. This meant that the tens of thousands of dollars she had
invested could be turned into ten times that amount.
Those who participated in the bet were all rich kids. Although they had lost by a huge margin, no one would be stingy over such a small sum of money, so they gave her money one after another.
“Hahahaha!”
After getting the money, Molly ran back to Lucille excitedly. She was practically wagging her tail while bragging, “Lucille, look. I made a lot of money. I keep getting transfer notifications on my phone!”
“That’s amazing.”
Lucille did not hesitate to praise her.
Molly’s figurative tail continued wagging and she happily exclaimed, “Lucille, I’ll work harder from now on. In the future, I’ll take care of you!”
