Chapter 112

The day before the race, the plane landed slowly.

The Kingsley family was buzzing with excitement. Jessica’s grandmother, a distinguished professa apnay te Monarcia, had come back from abroad.

She had spent her life in academia, with students all over the world, and carried herself with the quiet dignity of cre scholar. She’d come especially to watch Jessica race, but more importantly, to meet Jessica’s boyfriend, Jevespials.

The next day, Jessica showed up at the race bright and early. She was crazy about racing and had her eyes championship.

Hathaway, on the other hand, claimed she suddenly had stomach problems and used that as an excuse to hack

race.

The Kingsley family was totally stunned when they found out Hathaway wasn’t coming

of the

When they first heard Hathaway was joining the race, they didn’t say much, but deep down, they were a little worried. The thought maybe she was hiding some secret moves and would pull off a big twist on race day.

But in the end, nobody expected Hathaway to bail and not show up!

“Where’s Hathaway? Why is it Jessica and the other racers?” Elizabeth, who was a bit hard of hearing and still in the dark glanced around the track with a scrutinizing look.

Elaine, raising her voice against the wind, replied. “Hathaway had a stomach bug and didn’t show up

Melanie jumped in, her eyes sparkling with pride. “She signed up but never intended to compete. She probably realized the couldn’t beat Jessica and chickened out.”

Elaine couldn’t hide her glee. “Jessica goes to the bookstore, Hathaway tags along, Jessica races, Hathaway tries to race too “That airhead only knows how to use her rich girl status to get noticed. It’s so obvious. She wants to show off in front of Jeremiah and can’t stand the idea of Jessica outshining her.

“But a loser is a loser. She didn’t have the guts to show up today. Honestly, bailing at the last minute makes her look more pathetic.”

Melanie added, “Too bad Jeremiah had to go on a business trip today. If he were here, he would have seen Hathaway bail the last minute.

Ruby listened to their conversation and nodded. “Alright, that’s enough

Just then, Jessica showed up. She was rocking a black leather outfit that hugged her figure, leaning against her blazing red

supercar.

Jessica didn’t let any of the drama get to her.

She knew her real competition wasn’t Hathaway, who wanted to steal the spotlight, but the real pros on the track

The media had been buzzing about her recent injury, and everyone assumed she’d skip the race to recover. But Jessica showed up ready to take on anyone who dared challenge her.

As soon as Jessica appeared, the Kingsley family couldn’t take their eyes off her

She pulled open the doce of her supercar, her eyes cold and proud, with not a trace of hesitation or fear on her face

Chapter 112

The race began.

The signal lights snapped on, and as the countdown hit zero, engines moured, ripping through the ar

Everyone assumed Jessica, racing with an injury, would play is safe to keep up appearances

But she floored her blazing red supercar down the straightaways, drifting through the corners with such smooth feless control that it left everyone on the edge of their seats.

As expected, Jessica took home the championship.

After the race, the media rushed over to interview Jessica.

She pulled off her helmet, showing off a drop-dead gorgeous face.

When her face appeared on the big screen, the crowd instantly went wild.

And since it was all being streamed live, it wasn’t only the people at the track freaking out, the live chat was exploding with

comments.

The reporter started by congratulating Jessica on winning the championship despite her injury

Then, the reporter brought up Hathaway. “Hathaway didn’t show up today. I heard you two are friends. Did Ms. Whitmore back out at the last minute, or was there another reason she couldn’t make it? What’s your take, Ms. Kingsley?”

Jessica held her helmet and flashed a bold, confident smile at the camera. “Don’t let anyone put you in a box. Men aren’t the center of the universe, and women don’t have to get married if they don’t want to

“If you treat another woman as your enemy because of a guy, and push yourself into something you’re not good at, you’re only going to get hurt in the end.”

The reporter immediately caught the hidden meaning in Jessica’s words.

Jessica was basically saying Hathaway had zero clue about racing. She wanted to keep up with Jessica, but got scared and bailed at the last minute

Hathaway is such a wimp, the reporter thought.

But the reporter was a pro. She didn’t let her disdain show for more than a split second.

Facing the camera, she flashed a bright smile and said, “I’m so jealous of living life on your own terms. Once agaits. congratulations to today’s champion, Jessica!”

Jessica won over the crowd again with her camera presence.

This is Mr. Blackwood’s beauty!]

[Oh my god, she’s gorgeous!]

[No wonder she’s Jeremiah’s girlfriend. She’s on a whole different level.

[Mr. Blackwood, you barely know a third of what Jessica’s really about. She’s got a ton of cool secrets she’s still keeping from you]

After the race, the Kingsley and Thorne families headed to Jessica’s restaurant for dinner, a place Jeremiah had bought for her. Ruby looked around, and there wasn’t a single thing she didn’t dislike

Chapter 112

“Grandma, Jessica said, linking arms with Ruby, “come on, take the head of the cable

Ruby gently patted Jessica’s hand, and they chatted as they are.

“Ive been in Monarcia for years, and I’ve heard a few things. Word about you and Jeremiah has reart circles. You two are truly an outstanding couple. Ruby said.

Melanie chimed in. “It’s a shame, though. Even with Jeremiah’s help, our company’s assets are still less than half of the Whitmore family’s Maybe Jessica can get Jeremiah to lend us a hand a bit more”

Before Melanie could finish, Ruby quickly cut her off and turned to Jessica, “If he truly cares about you, he find ways te make you happy on his own.

“And if he wants to make you happy, he’ll naturally want to make sure your parents and your uncle’s family are too. But you must never bring it up yourself”

Spencer agreed with his mom. “Melanie, we really should listen to Mom. She’s been around way longer than us

Ruby asked, “Elaine told me Jeremiah’s brother is dating Hathaway?”

Melanie replied, “Yeah, but Lorenzo isn’t Eleanor’s real son. Jeremiah inherited the whole Blackwood family business, so Lorenzo won’t get anything out of it.”

Jessica added, “Lorenzo’s a med student. He’s not interested in business at all.”

Ruby finally relaxed. “Hathaway’s something else. If she can’t snag Jeremiah, she’s not above going for his brother. She can’t let go of the Blackwood family

She chuckled, “That proves how awesome the Blackwood family is. Everyone wants a piece.”

Elizabeth nodded. “That’s right. The Blackwood family’s been around for a century. There’s no way the Whitmore family would walk away. If the older brother’s out of reach, they’ll go for the younger one.

“Conrad’s basically gambling with his daughter’s happiness. No wonder fate can’t stand it.”

Ruby paused, then asked. “So Lorenzo really agreed to it?”
