Larissa cleared her throat and spoke again, feeling slightly awkward.

“Carter, this is my best friend, Thea, nicknamed Duchess. She’s always wanted a big brother, so she’s eager to meet you.”
Carter finally understood. He rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed.
“Sorry about that, Thea. I was too focused on Larissa and didn’t pay attention. If you’re Larissa’s best friend, then you’re family too. If you ever need anything, just tell me.”
Duchess jumped up excitedly.
“OMG! Did you really mean that? Then from now on, you’re my real brother. And don’t expect me to be polite about it!”
She did have relatives, but none of them truly cared about her. Sometimes she felt it would have been easier if she had no family at all. But now, Larissa and Carter were her family.
Thea had wandered alone for years. She had learned to stop caring about most things. But deep down, what she wanted most was love from family.
Duchess was lively and loud–unable to sit still.
Carter, on the other hand, was calm and quiet.
They were complete opposites. Somehow, they balanced each other perfectly.
Just then, the man who had been beaten earlier stormed over with the club manager behind him.
“Manager! It was them! They started trouble and beat me up like this!”
He pointed straight at Carter and the others.
The manager frowned and snapped, “Carter, how dare you cause trouble here? You injured a racer’s hand, and the race starts in thirty minutes! Did you do this because you have weak driving skills? Are you trying to make our club lose?”
He pointed sharply at Carter.
“Apologize right now. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you’re blacklisted by the industry.”
Carter clenched his fists. He was about to speak when Duchess stepped in front of him.
She looked at them coldly and let out a short laugh.
“Wow. You really know how to twist the story. Is this how your club handles things? You want to blacklist Carter? I’d like to see you try.”
She glanced around.

“Honestly, a club like this should just shut down. It doesn’t deserve to exist.”
The manager’s face turned dark red with anger.

“Who are you? Some brat talking nonsense? You clearly don’t know who we are. Apologize now, or you won’t be leaving this place.”
Duchess crossed her arms and smirked.
“Oh? Now you’re threatening me? Maybe you should ask around and find out who I am before you speak. You just picked a fight with the wrong person.”
She stood her ground.
“I’m not going anywhere. Let’s see what you can actually do.“.
At that moment, a well–dressed man stepped out from the crowd. He carried himself with quiet authority. He was the biggest investor in the club.
Then he saw Thea. His eyes widened in shock. He hurried over, his voice shaking.
“Ms. Miller, what an honor to have you here. Our club is truly blessed by your presence.”
He could not believe it. The heir of the Millers was standing in his club.
If someone like her mentioned this place even once in high society, his investment would skyrocket overnight.
