Chapter 14 Astonished Everyone
“You’re trying to get Danny’s attention in a lousy way. Girl, you should go home and take a look in the mirror,” a s**y girl mocked disdainfully as she gazed at Isabelle and twisted her waist.
“Get your junk car out of here. If you scratch our car, you can’t afford to pay for the damage even if you sell yourself,” another young man said, waving his hand at Isabelle as if shooing away a fly.
Zack walked over to drive Isabelle away.
However, Danny stared at Isabelle briefly. He raised his hand to stop Zack and pushed away the girl in
his arms.
Seeing Danny get into his sports car, his friends widened their eyes and asked in disbelief, “Danny, are you going to play with her?”
Danny beckoned the sexy girl to the passenger seat. He put his arm over her shoulder and said to Isabelle, “I’ll give you a twenty-second head start. Go ahead.

“It’s okay. I always play fair. I had to give you my word that, if you lose, I’ll give you 150,000 dollars,
Stop wasting my time. Are you going to race or not?” Isabelle was running out of p dollars..
“I like your temper, it’s feisty! But let’s be clear, don’t cry when you lose. You’re not the type Danny said.
Isabelle’s lips twitched slightly, and she cursed, “You talk a lot!”
Zack acted as the referee.
With his command, the blue cab shot out first.
I’d pity.”
Seeing the cab shoot out like an arrow, Danny was stunned. He had agreed to race with Isabelle, but h was just humouring her out of boredom. He didn’t take the race seriously. If it weren’t for Isabelle’s intriguing personality, he wouldn’t have bothered with her. But to his surprise, Isabelle could actually drive..
Danny’s smirked. His interest peaked.
He let go of the girl and stepped on the gas to catch up with the blue cab.
“I’ve never seen someone so eager to be humilated.”
“Comparing a broken cab with a sports car, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen this year. She’s just asking for trouble.”
“Is she nuts? Judging from the way she’s driving, I’m afraid the cab will break down before she reaches the top of the mountain.”
The spectators all thought that Isabelle was either desperate to win or, as the sexy girl had put it, trying to get Danny’s attention. But the feasibility of this was no higher than when the cab bested the sports
car.

No matter what her purpose was, it was a pipe dream.
“I don’t like what you’re saying. What’s wrong with a cab? At least this girl has courage. I’m betting on her to win just because of her guts,” the cab driver said, not liking their derogatory comments about his
car.
Although he also liked those sports cars and agreed with them that Isabelle was taking on she could handle, he still admired her courage.

Halfway up
the mountain, the blue cab and the sports car were engaged in a high-speed chase. The cars moved so fast that they were almost a blur.
Danny watched the car in front of him, whose tires were almost leaving the ground. He easily overtook it with a burst of speed. He turned his head around and smiled triumphantly at Isabelle, as if laughing at her fantasy of beating him.
He even started flirting with the girl in the passenger seat, completely ignoring Isabelle.
After driving for a while, he saw the cab still closely following his car. Danny raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, Not bad.
He sped up and tried to widen the gap. To his surprise, the cab could keep up with him, not slowing down at all.
Danny continued to accelerate.
But just as he was entering the next corner, the cab suddenly accelerated, brushing past the edge of t cliff and overtaking him in desperate moves.
The newly completed mountain road didn’t have rails yet, and Danny had been cautious every time I took a turn in the past two days.
When the cab brushed past him, Danny’s heart thumped violently. He thought the cab was going to plunge off the cliff, which resulted in a fatal crash.
