Her race against Joshua had been completely ruined by Henley.
Stella asked, "Do you need me to come back and help?"
"No need," Joshua dismissed. "These guys aren't even worth lifting a finger over.
You go on ahead. I want to play with them a little longer."
Stella frowned. "But..."
"Aurora is already far ahead," Joshua said smoothly. "If you can catch up to her, I'll count this race as your win.
You wouldn't actually lose to her, would you?"
With that, Joshua cut the connection.
A moment later, Stella watched in shock as Joshua threw his car into reverse, whipped it around, and rammed straight into Henley's vehicle.
Seeing this, Henley swerved frantically to avoid the impact.
If his car took a hit like that, it would be completely totaled!
Seeing the situation handled, Stella let out a breath of relief.
She didn't waste another second, slamming the gas pedal and tearing down the track after Aurora.
Despite knowing a massive wreck had occurred behind her, Aurora had no intention of stopping.
She decided to play dumb.
Getting involved in a mess like that would only drag her down—a thankless task that would inevitably backfire.
Plus, she couldn't afford to offend either side.
She didn't want to lose the backing of either Henley or Joshua.
Whatever blood feud they were starting was beyond her control.
Her priority was securing first place and crushing Stella.
With the track behind her turned into a demolition derby, taking the win seemed like a walk in the park.
But she kept her guard up.
If she managed to blow such a massive lead, she would be laughed out of the racing circuit forever.
"The fact that even Henley couldn't shake him... it's been years since I've seen Henley pushed into a corner like this."
"He's driving a reinforced beginner's car and still caught up to them from the back. That takes pure, raw talent."
"Looks like Aurora has this race in the bag, though!"
With the massive pile-up hogging the screens, almost everyone's attention was glued to the battle between Henley and Joshua.
Suddenly, an out-of-place shout echoed from a random section of the grandstands.
"Hey! Hey! She's catching up! Someone's closing the gap!"
"Whose car is that? Is it Henley?"
"Hell no! Look at the main screen—Henley is still fighting that maniac!"
"I see it! I see it! That's Stella's car!"
"Stella caught up?! After being boxed in for that long, she actually caught up?!"
"Aurora, you better wake up and floor it!"

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
