When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

Ditching his devil-may-care attitude from earlier, Chris asked, “Something thrilling? What is it?”

As he asked, he had already put on the racing suit that had just been thrown aside.

The orange racing suit, the well-groomed hair, and a pair of cool, big sunglasses kind of gave Chris the vibe of a dashing idol racer.

Tina pursed her lips in the direction of Julia and Amelie. A meaningful smile appeared on her face as she suggested, “How about we race there?”

As she spoke, she pointed over with her hand that was holding the helmet.

Everyone gasped in unison when they saw the direction Tina was pointing at. That’s a newly opened racetrack! What’s more, it’s a field track for rally racing. It connects extremely complex mountain routes and waterways. Every corner is sharp and powerful. And since it’s a newly built track, racers have yet to race on it. Hence, no one knows the track’s condition. Racing on that track is equivalent to a mini outdoor survival race Outdoor survival races are very dangerous even during the day, let alone at night. The risk factor is undoubtedly multiplied during the night.

Instead of answering right away, Chris simply tapped his fingers on his car.

Tina strode up to Julia and Amelie. “What do you ladies think?” she asked while tilting her head to one side. However, the corner of her lips curled up into a provocative smirk.

ough Julia showed no signs of expressions on her face, deep down, she was already scoffing at Tina.

Jam the megastar in the livestream commerce industry. I have always been the only one who dares others. This is actually my first time being dared upon. Then again, I have used this same trick countless times. Of course, I won’t be provoked so easily.

Instead of answering, Julia made her way toward Elyse. “Miss Clayton, is this your suggestion?” Julia asked in an extremely loud voice while fixing her gaze on Elyse.

She wanted Elyse to answer the question herself.

Seeing Julia didn’t dare to answer her directly, Tina thought they were guilty.

At this moment, her slightly low mood earlier was replaced by upscaled confidence.

“No. It’s…”

However, Julia had already opened her car door and walked up to Elyse before Tina finished speaking.

“I’d rather hear from Miss Clayton herself.”

Meanwhile, Elyse sat in her car.

Despite wearing a racing suit, she still exuded an exquisitely beautiful and dazzling aura.

Putting on a perfectly gentle and delicate smile, she replied, “Tina said she wanted to race, so I don’t want to be a spoilsport and ruin it for her.”

At that, Julia nodded and said with a faint smile, “I see.”

Although Julia had said nothing more, Elyse could feel that Julia was ridiculing her.

She silently nipped her fingers, which were hidden in the dark. And a trace of annoyance arising from being provoked speedily surfaced across her face.

However, due to poor lighting and fast speed, no one managed to notice this.

Truthfully, I meant to challenge Amelie and Julia to this race. However, considering I am a celebrity with a

goddess-like character, I don’t think it’s wise for me to leave an impression of being competitive in the eyes of the public. It was just a suggestion that I ingeniously mentioned briefly, yet Tina fell for it. Whatever. Tina doesn’t even know that she’s being taken advantage of anyway. So, I have nothing to be worried about. Still putting on a beautiful and delicate smile, Elyse nodded. “Yeah.”

After Julia was done asking Elyse, she got around behind the crowd.

Since everyone didn’t know what Julia was up to, their gaze followed her silhouette.

“Mr. Alston, do you agree to have this race too?” she asked with her lips raised as she stood in front of a tall silhouette.

Leo had been standing there the whole time.

Usually, he would be the most prominent figure, no matter where he stood.

In fact, it had always been that way.

Many would notice him even if he stood in the most secluded and darkest spot.

However, the race between Amelie and Elyse earlier subverted too many circumstances that it successfully diverted everyone’s attention away from Leo, causing him to be ignored.

The crowd, on the other hand, all showed meaningful expressions when they saw Julia coming to look for Leo.

As Amelie’s superb performance in the race earlier drew plenty of attention, many who didn’t know her before couldn’t help but be curious about her identity.

After asking each other, everyone now knew that Amelie was Leo’s ex-wife.

Considering that a triangular relationship involving an ex-wife and a first love had always been the most intriguing topic, their interactions undoubtedly became a hot topic. Not to mention, Amelie and Elyse even showed up on the same occasion at the same time.

They secretly praised Julia for even daring to provoke someone like Leo while anticipating Leo’s reply in a gossipy manner.

As for Leo, he merely looked at Julia with those pair of obsidian-like eyes; not an ounce of expression was seen on his handsome face.
