The moment Stella's car flashed onto the screens, the entire arena erupted.
No one cared about the demolition derby anymore; every pair of eyes was glued to the showdown between Stella and Aurora.
Blockades and crashes were entertaining, but racing was ultimately about pure speed and skill.
Seeing Stella—who they had all written off—shatter such a massive time deficit left the crowd utterly speechless.
"Holy crap, what is happening? How did Stella catch up? Is Aurora going easy on her?"
"Or maybe Aurora thought no one could catch her, so she got lazy?"
"Stop making excuses for your precious Aurora! The telemetry speeds are right there on the screen.
Aurora isn't holding back, and she definitely isn't being lazy. Without anyone in her way, she's actually running faster lap times than usual."
"Just admit it—Aurora isn't as good as Stella! If anyone got lucky today, it was Aurora!"
"Exactly. She completely avoided that pile-up. Meanwhile, Stella was boxed in by all those cars for ages."
Aurora's die-hard supporters were suddenly at a loss for words.
Someone connected the dots. "Hey, do you think Henley and his crew threw away their dignity to block Stella just so Aurora could win?"
"That actually makes sense. If Stella was really a rookie, why would they need to gang up on her? Even if they gave her a ten-minute head start, she shouldn't have been a threat."
"But the tables have turned. Aurora had a huge lead, and now she's about to be overtaken."
Inside her car, Aurora couldn't hear the deafening roars of the crowd.
But as she took a sharp corner, she instinctively glanced at her rearview mirror.
Her breath caught in her throat. Disbelief flashed in her eyes.
If it weren't for her helmet, she would have rubbed her eyes.

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...
