Alpha Amanda's Love Adventure (By Aurora Grey) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Fog Over the Racetrack

Amanda’s POV:

So yeah. He heard it after all.

Theo panicked and was about to explain, but I cut in first and laughed it off.

“Mr. Ortega, you must’ve misheard. It’s too loud here. Maybe someone was calling a friend. My name’s Airel. Why would anyone call me Amanda?”

I tilted my chin toward the track on purpose. “Look, it’s the last turn!”

Samson said nothing. He just looked at me. I could feel his eyes staying on mine for way too long. That look felt sharp, like he was trying to pull my mask right off.

Then the track exploded with cheers. The driver Theo had been rooting for-Joel Campbell-crossed the finish line in a black car and won the championship.

The audience instantly went wild. Theo forgot his nerves, jumped up cheering, and grabbed my arm. “Airel! Look! We won!”

I stood up with his pull and let the cheers cover my breath of relief. But when I turned, I met Samson’s meaningful gaze.

Samson’s POV:

The cheers were deafening. Confetti fell onto my shoulders. But I couldn’t focus on the excitement of the victory-the scene in front of me was too strange.

Theo and Airel-one was a Beta from the Glacier Pack, the other an heiress from Mooncrest Pack. They shouldn’t have anything to do with each other. But the way they were cheering and grabbing each other’s arms clearly showed they were close. That wasn’t the kind of relationship you get from a “quick hello.”

I looked away and absentmindedly rubbed my cufflink.

The world might be small, but for these two people to be together, and to meet right where I’d run into Airel-the coincidence felt far too deliberate.

“What a coincidence, Ms. Airel,” I said, breaking the silence. I kept my tone casual, but my eyes moved between her and Theo. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”

Then I turned to Theo and gave a small nod. “You’re also here to watch the race, Mr. Meskill?”

Theo still looked excited, but he froze for a second. He subconsciously glanced at Airel, then answered vaguely, “I just happened to be here on a business trip. When I heard about the event, I thought I’d stop by and take a look.”

Business trip?

I almost laughed.

Chapter 181 Fog Over the Racetrack

Theo’s racing team had registered for the Mooncrest Cup a long time ago. As a key member, he “happened” to be here?

I looked at Airel again. When I asked about “Amanda,” she’d clearly panicked. Now she was acting like nothing happened. This stark contrast was abnormal.

A different scene suddenly came to mind-Theo stood with Amanda on a tree-lined path, smiling as he handed her a bottle of water. They talked as if they were already close.

The image in front of me overlapped with that memory. Even the look in Theo’s eyes when he glanced at Airel was the same familiar, indulgent look he gave Amanda.

“Ms. Airel, you two know each other?” I looked straight into her eyes, slowing my words on purpose.

Airel looked calm. She nodded slightly, her tone natural. “You could say that. Mr. Meskill and I happened to be sitting next to each other. I also found out he works with my uncle, so we said hello and chatted a bit.”

Flawless explanation. It covered why they were sitting together and how they “met.” Nothing sounded wrong. On a normal day, I might’ve believed her.

But now-images of someone running through a lavender field, the familiar look in her eyes at the dinner. table, Theo’s blatant concealment, and all these “coincidences” were like a net, tightly weaving “Airel” and “Amanda” together.

I didn’t expose her; I just let a meaningful smile play on my lips.

“I thought a young lady from a prestigious family would prefer concerts or tea parties. I didn’t expect you to be into something as wild as racing. You’re full of surprises, Ms. Airel.”

I stressed the word “surprises” and watched her reaction.

No flicker of emotion. She just replied calmly, “It’s just an interest. I wouldn’t say I like it that much.”

She paused, then turned the question back on me. “Mr. Ortega, did you come to Mooncrest Pack just for this race?”

“That’s right,” I said, nodding. My gaze never left hers. “The Mooncrest Cup is a top event in Howlstead. You get to watch exciting racing and networking. Two birds with one stone.”

Then I deliberately added, “Speaking of which, I have a friend who also loves racing. Too bad she’s not here. Otherwise, I’d introduce you.”
