The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2092

Since it was only a warm-up race, Aurora was on the starting grid in no time.

She and Henley were the undisputed royalty of this circuit, drawing massive crowds wherever they went. The moment word spread that the two of them were hitting the track for an exhibition race, the entire venue erupted into a frenzy.

The official races happening on the adjacent tracks were completely abandoned as thousands of spectators swarmed over to watch them instead.

Stella watched the mob of screaming, dye-haired teenagers chanting their names in absolute hysteria. She had to hand it to Aurora—her reputation in high society was a burning dumpster fire, yet she had completely reinvented herself here, cultivating an army of die-hard fanatics. The woman was undeniably resourceful.

Bang!

The starting pistol fired, and the cars launched off the line like screaming missiles.

At the same time, the massive digital screens instantly switched to the live feed of their race.

Even though it was just a casual warm-up, the sheer hype surrounding it dwarfed the actual professional matches.

Stella watched the screens in silence.

Twenty minutes later, Aurora's car rocketed across the finish line, claiming an uncontested first place.

Stella felt absolutely nothing.

Aurora hadn't brought him all the way out here to settle for second place.

Her thoughts shifted to Joshua.

She had never seen Aurora race before and didn't know how good she actually was, so she had been paying close attention to the screens. But she had almost forgotten—Joshua had always been drawn to fierce, capable women.

Would he be swept up in the adrenaline just like Henley? Would he watch Aurora with that same look of deep admiration he used to reserve for her?

Anxious, she turned to look at him.

However, he wasn't watching the track at all. His head was bent down, utterly engrossed in the game on his phone, completely oblivious to the roaring crowd and the screaming engines.

Stella glanced at his screen.

It was Plants vs. Zombies—the exact same game Keen O'Brien used to play obsessively.

Just then, Aurora climbed out of her car.
