“What kind of excitement?” Robin, who had been so nonchalant before, asked.
He was wearing that racing suit he’d put aside earlier, all set to hit the track. In that orange racing suit, with his neatly done hair and cool sunglasses, he really looked quite imposing.
Winona tilted her lips in the direction of Fredrica and me, a meaningful smile on her face. “How about racing over there?”
She pointed with the hand holding her helmet.
When everyone saw the direction she was pointing to, they all gasped.
That track was newly developed and it was specifically for off-road driving. It had a complex network of mountain and water paths, with every turn being sharp and sudden. The track had just been completed and no one had gone in to race yet.
No one knew what the condition of the track was like. This was like doing a small-scale wilderness survival competition. Even during the day, wilderness survival was very dangerous, let alone doing it at night. The danger factor was multiplied.
Robin knocked on his own car and didn’t answer right away.
Winona took big steps and walked up to Fredrica and me. “What do you think?”
She tilted her head to one side, asking with her mouth but with a provoking curl of her lips.
Fredrica didn’t show much on her face, but inside, she was already smiling.
As the queen of live streaming and product endorsements, she had always been the one provoking others. This was the first time someone tried to provoke her. She had mastered these tricks a long time ago, so how could she be provoked?
She didn’t answer but instead looked at Cathy. “Is this what Cathy wants?”
Fredrica’s voice was loud, calling out to Cathy.
Fredrica didn’t dare to answer directly, making Winona think we were feeling guilty. Winona had been a bit shaky just now, but now her confidence multiplied.
“No, it’s...” She didn’t finish her words before Fredrica opened the car door and walked over to Cathy.
“I’d rather hear Cathy say it herself.”
Cathy sat elegantly in the car. Even though she was wearing a racing suit, she still looked delicate, beautiful, and dazzling. She smiled lightly, her smile just right. “Winona said she wants to race, and I don’t want to spoil her fun.”
“Oh, I see,” Fredrica nodded, with a smile that seemed like a smirk.
Although she didn’t say anything more, Cathy clearly felt that she was mocking her!
Her hidden fingers silently clenched into a fist, and a moment of frustration flashed across her face. But because of the poor lighting and how fast things were happening, no one could see it.
In fact, this was what she meant. However, she was a star and had an image as a goddess. It wouldn’t be good to leave an impression of being overly competitive. She cleverly suggested it, and Winona fell for it. Since even Winona didn’t realize she was being used, what was there to worry about?
She maintained her graceful demeanor and nodded. “That’s right.”
After asking Cathy, Fredrica walked behind everyone.
Everyone didn’t know what she was up to, and their eyes followed her movements.
“Do you agree, Aubrey?” Fredrica stood in front of a tall figure and asked with her lips raised.
Aubrey had been standing there the whole time. In ordinary circumstances, no matter where he stood, he would be the most eye-catching. In fact, that was the case just now. Even if he stood in the darkest corner, many people noticed him. But the race between me and Cathy just now overturned so many things that everyone’s attention was successfully diverted. So they ignored him.
Seeing Fredrica coming to find him, they all showed a meaningful expression. Although many people didn’t know me before, my race just now attracted a lot of attention.
After asking around, they already knew that I was Aubrey’s ex-wife. The relationship between an ex-wife and a first love was always the juiciest gossip, and now that I and Cathy were together, the topic was overflowing. Everyone was secretly admiring Fredrica for still daring to provoke Aubrey.
But Aubrey’s handsome face remained unchanged. He just looked at Fredrica with his eyes as black as obsidian. His lips were pursed but he didn’t speak.
Fredrica smiled. “Cathy is your favorite, and she wants to race on such a dangerous road in the middle of the night. You don’t mind?”
She was targeting both Cathy and Aubrey at the same time, making anyone think more.
At this moment, not only Winona but even others thought that I lacked confidence. Was the victory just now merely a coincidence?
“Since Miss Fredrica is unwilling, let’s forget about it,” Winona smiled and said, showing a particularly understanding expression to Fredrica.
There was something hidden in this expression, and it was clear to everyone.
After speaking, she turned and walked towards the car.
“Who said I’m unwilling?” Fredrica’s voice came from behind. “I just wanted to give Cathy a preemptive warning in case she gets too impulsive.”
