A few minutes later, Aurora's car crossed the finish line in humiliating defeat.
In professional racing, a one-second gap was massive.
A multi-minute gap... was just too painful to watch.
Someone in the crowd laughed, "Man, it's a good thing this isn't a closed circuit, or Aurora would have been lapped!"
"Henley pulled all those strings and still couldn't hand Aurora the win. He lost his cars and his pride.
His reputation is completely ruined after this."
"Isn't Aurora an illegitimate daughter anyway? I guess a knockoff could never beat the real deal!"
"Watching Stella drive made me realize I've never seen real talent before. I actually used to think Aurora was a prodigy... compared to Stella, the difference is night and day."
With the race over, the crowd shifted their loyalties in a heartbeat.
Motorsports were ruthless; only results mattered.
A professional racer stared thoughtfully at Stella as she stepped out of her car. "Is it just me, or did her cornering technique look exactly like Racer X?"
Another pro racer looked shocked. "Racer X? You mean the racing god Henley spent years trying to track down?"
The first racer nodded. "Exactly. I was there the day X showed up, and I saw that raw talent firsthand.
X's drifting technique is incredibly unique. It looks simple and clean, but it's practically impossible to master.
I haven't seen anyone use it in years.
Even Henley couldn't replicate it, which is saying something."
The second racer's jaw dropped. "Are you saying... Stella might be the Racer X that Henley has been obsessing over?
If that's true, Henley just used the cheapest tactics to sabotage his own idol just to impress Aurora. Stella must despise him."
The first racer chuckled darkly. "I can't wait to see the look on Henley's face when he realizes he just tried to ruin the career of his favorite driver in the world."

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...
