Chapter 105

When Jessica woke up, she heard her family talking about Jeremiah wanting to get engaged or The ingen p body vanished instantly.

“Mrs. Blackwood came by, and Jeremiah made a special trip to see you Melanie said. Both Mrs. Blacked a Mc Blackwood praised you for being sensible and understanding. They truly think highly of you

As Jessica listened, a wave of sweetness washed over her, and a smile crept into her eyes.

Melanie was more delighted. “See? They used to be against it, but now? If the son likes you, no m son’s wishes in the end.”

Jessica thought the same. Now that Edmund had agreed, she finally felt like her hard times were over and the good were here.

“Jessica, you need to focus on getting better, Elaine said. “Soon, you’ll be the most talked-about person as all of Hayridge But what about that race you’ve been dreaming about? You might not be able to compete this time.”

“It’s okay. Let me get registered first, Jessica said, pulling out her phone and completing the final step of the racer registration.

The page refreshed, and a familiar name suddenly caught Jessica’s eye.

It was Hathaway.

Jessica double-checked to make sure she wasn’t imagining things.

Hathaway had signed up as well.

“Hathaway’s in the race, too,” Jessica said, and Felix leaned in to take a look.

Melanie frowned. “I think she doesn’t know about racing

Jessica shrugged. “Maybe she doesn’t want to lose to me

Elaine rolled her eyes. “That copycat is at it again.”

Jessica’s eyes were determined. “I’m not going to lose to her.”

“That’s right, Jessica. “Get better soon and show her what you’re made of on the track, Melanie said.

Elaine grinned, “Jessica, you’re definitely going to win. And if you take the championship with your own skills, that he

more awesome.”

Jessica nodded. She knew she had what it took.

Honestly, Jessica couldn’t stand Hathaway. Hathaway was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her parents spoiled het bet brother always had her back, and she never had to worry about a thing.

If Jeremiah ever found out it wasn’t Jessica who saved him from the sea, he probably wouldn’t hesitate to go after Hathaway

Jessica remembered people saying Hathaway was the real deal, the most beautiful girl in all of Bayridge. Without realizing it, she clenched her fists, her desire to win this race burning hotter than any of her doubts.

Tm not going to lose. Jessica said.

Melanie said, “Ever since Conrad left. I’ve had this feeling. Hathaway’s glory days are about to be over. Anyway, let’s nes talk

about her right now. Since you’re awake, let’s les Jeremiah know

Jessica gave a shy smile and nodded. But when she tried calling Jeremiah his phone was non of service.

Her smile faded. Where did Jeremiah gor she wondered.

As Jessica was wondering where Jeremiah had gone, the chief physician and the hospital director walked upo pushed all her worries aside, quickly pulled herself together, and put on her best manners

Meanwhile, at the Whitmore family dinner table, Avery asked, “Theard you ordered a car worth over 3 milion dollars

“Yeah, Hathaway answered, with her fork between her teeth.

There was going to be a major car accident on the Evergreen Viaduct.

In her previous life, a high-profile government figure was caught up in it on the Evergreen Viadu

If she could save that big shot, she’d get some serious political backing, and that would be a game-changer for the Whitmore Group

From then on, no one would dare say the Whitmore family was all money and no influence anymore

She absolutely had to save that person

It was not only about the Whitmore Group getting a lifeline, but also because that person was a pillar of the nation.

Losing them would be a huge blow to the country.

But if she got hurt while saving someone, her mom wouldn’t be able to handle it.

That thought made Hathaway hesitate about the whole rescue plan.

After mulling it over, she realized the best way was to level up her driving skills so she wouldn’t get injured. So she casually signed up for a racing competition. Now she had the perfect excuse to practice

A week later, Hathaway’s car finally arrived.

After tons of test drives and checks, the car was solid and could take a hit. That gave Hathaway a real sense of safety.

The chassis height was spot-on, not too low, not too high.

If it were any lower, she’d be an easy target for getting rear-ended and shoved; any higher, and shed risk flipping on sharp turns. It was tuned for balance, right for her.

Hathaway left home at seven and got to the office at mine.

She used those two hours in between to hit the track and sharpen her driving skills

As she drove over the Evergreen Viaduct, she kept an eye on her surroundings,

Down below, there were rows of apartment buildings.

In her previous life, the accident happened right during rush hour.

The driver lost control and tried to stop the car on the viaduct to avoid hining pedestrians at the base of the bridge, lait in his panic, he ended up causing a chain reaction of crashes

They watched a movie together and after it ended, Hathaway headed to the restroom. When the Lorenzo chatting with an elderly couple

“Sure Hathaway agreed. She was actually hungry herself

They went to a barbecue joint. Lorenzo kept up appearances, ordering food, listening and chiming in, but he kept zoning out, his fingers wrapped around his glass as he stared off into the distance, his eyes empty

Though they were on a date, his mind was clearly somewhere else, and when he looked at her, there look in his eyes.

a heavy, distracted

Hathaway didn’t push him to talk. She was lost in her own thoughts, running through scenarios in her head, how two cars might move on the viaduct, what could go wrong, and how she could handle it.

She thought about how, if there was a crash, the car could catch fire in an instant. If she couldn’t get out in time, she’d be left with hideous scars, and her face would be ruined.
