Being suddenly swept into his arms startled Natalie.
“Nicholas, what are you doing? Put me down!”
“I won’t. Not for the rest of my life.”
Natalie froze, but she could feel his unadulterated joy. He was a race car driver, a man with a deep sense of honor. That must be why he was so excited right now.
“Nicholas is holding Natalie! I’m so jealous!”
The girls in the audience sighed with envy. After all, Nicholas was handsome, a top-tier racer whose daring on the track had captivated countless hearts.
Now, seeing him spin Natalie around, those hearts shattered into a million pieces.
Nicholas was more thrilled than if he had won a racing championship himself.
Lucas quickly put a stop to it.
“Natalie’s hand is injured, and you’re spinning her around like that! If you make it worse, you’ll have to answer to me. Put her down, now!”
Nicholas blinked, then gently set Natalie down.
He looked flustered. “Natalie, did I hurt you? I was trying to be careful.”
Natalie shook her head. “It’s fine. I know you were just happy for me.”
Watching Nicholas hold Natalie, Darren was consumed with rage. The one spinning her in his arms should have been him.
Darren pulled Hanley closer and spoke to Marie in a dangerously low voice. “Marie, are you still trying to brainwash my son? I told you not to fill his head with those twisted ideas. Do you not understand me?”
Marie shot back, defiant, “I’m speaking the truth! How could Natalie possibly win? She was seriously injured, while everyone else was perfectly fine. These are the top contestants from around the world. Do you really think it’s possible? If it wasn’t the Lockwood family pulling strings, I wouldn’t believe it for a second!”
Darren’s face was grim. Hanley hesitated, doubt creeping into his mind.
On the competition floor, Ken was fuming.
“This is impossible! Natalie’s hand was practically useless! How could she have won? This is definitely cheating!”
He shrieked hysterically, “Cheating in the preliminaries was one thing, but to cheat in the finals too? To do it in front of the whole world! You people from Aurelis are disgusting! It’s all about money and power!”
Patrick walked up to Ken. “You’re not convinced, are you? I know you’re not. So take a good look.”

Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
