The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Victory

Brenna’s lips twisted into a sneer as she regarded Jade with narrowed eyes. After all these years, was this really the best her so–called rival could muster? Just slapping makeshift upgrades onto her outdated vehicle.

With a calm expression, Brenna watched in her rearview mirror as the metal spike viciously jabbed at her car.

At full throttle, the clash of metal against metal unleashed a shrill, ear–splitting screech, while a relentless spray of sparks erupted upward in dazzling arcs.

Jade’s expression bore the mark of vicious satisfaction, her lips twisting into a grin as she looked at Brenna. “Enjoy your last moments on this track.”

With a determined jab, she pressed the control button again, commanding the spike to extend further. Her plan was straightforward: the spike would puncture the chassis, shred the tires, and send Brenna’s car flipping into oblivion.

Though this violated international racing rules, she couldn’t care less; eliminating Brenna was her sole focus.

Jade shot Brenna a cold smile, but her rival remained infuriatingly composed. Brenna had one elbow propped on the windowsill, fingers drumming a careless rhythm on the steering wheel.

Fury ignited in Jade’s chest.

Why was Brenna still so calm? That spike could slice through military–grade plating! How could Brenna remain unfazed by her most powerful weapon?

Jade stomped the accelerator, demanding every ounce of horsepower, trying to slice Brenna’s car in two with the metal spike.

But as Jade pressed down, Brenna did the same. Jade tried hard to push her car to the limit, while Brenna

maintained an unsettlingly relaxed posture, a stark contrast to Jade, who strained against her harness.

The metal spike clashed with Brenna’s car, sending sparks flying and producing a grating sound. Jade had been

waiting for the moment Brenna’s vehicle would break. Confident in the spike’s material, she believed it would

cut through metal with ease.

However, two minutes passed, and Jade realized the spike had only left a white mark on Brenna’s car. It hadn’t

even made a dent, let alone cut the car.

How could this be possible?

Jade’s gaze darted between the rearview mirror and her control panel. The reality was undeniable; Brenna’s

vehicle showed no meaningful damage.

“This is impossible!” Jade hissed, her teeth clenched so tight that the words barely slipped through.

In anger, she jerked the steering wheel, attempting to ram Brenna’s vehicle and force the spike deeper into its

chassis.

The two cars now ran nearly bumper–to–bumper.

Jade’s triumphant smirk faded as her rearview mirror revealed a grim reality.

Her spike was buckling in reverse, warping so fiercely that it left a dent in the very frame of her own car.

A sickening metallic crack echoed through the cabin as the speed of her car began to slow down.

She glanced at Brenna, and Brenna only sneered.

With surgical precision, Brenna made a slight turn, sending her rear quarter panel crashing into Jade’s front end.

The collision unleashed a cacophony of hellish sounds–screeching brakes, grinding metal, and the crunch of gravel beneath spinning tires.

Jade’s world morphed into a violent blur as her car careened uncontrollably toward a massive roadside boulder. The impact resonated like an explosion. Jade’s car soared into the air, completing two full rotations before crashing roof–first into the ground.

All the airbags deployed with a sudden whoosh.

Through the haze, Jade glimpsed Brenna’s retreating taillights and that mocking wave from the driver’s window. By the time Jade finally pulled herself from the wreckage, Brenna’s car had already disappeared from her sight. Jade stared numbly at her wrecked car. What kind of unholy material did Brenna’s car use? It could even withstand a diamond–tipped spike.

After the race was over, Brenna traced gentle fingers over the battle scars–a barely noticeable dent and a superficial puncture. “Don’t worry, buddy,” she murmured. “We’ll buff out these scratches. You did brilliantly today.”

Ethan had just dealt with the emergency that the Ward family had orchestrated–specifically, Jade’s plot to undermine his support for Brenna during the race, paving the way for her deadly intentions.
