According to Gareth’s condition, if they lost again, they would only suffer another year of defeat.
If they won, not only would they defend the title, but the Dark Horse Racing Team would have a new superb racer. With that, Dark Horse would not have to worry about their future for at least five years.
After five years, new blood and fresh talents would naturally replace the vacant spots, so it did not matter if Nell stayed or not.
Needless to say, the older person was wiser!
Nell had no way of retreat because of what Gareth proposed.
Nonetheless, since Nell had the guts to make the bet in the first place, why would she flinch?
She smiled and reached out her hand. “Okay, deal!”
“Deal!”
As they high-fived each other, the bet was set.
After half an hour, the final round was about to begin.
Racers from the three car-racing teams made their way to the racetrack. However, when everyone saw a strange lady in a racing suit represent the Dark Horse Racing Team instead of Gareth, they were startled.
‘Who is she?’
‘Why is she wearing the Dark Horse Racing Team’s suit?’
‘Did the Dark Horse change their racer?’
Liam was slightly stunned when he recognized Nell.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
Nell approached him and waved at him with a smile. “Senior Jackman, long time no see, hello!”
Since they were classmates for three years, Liam naturally knew Nell.
He did not just know her; he knew she was that lady’s best friend.
Liam frowned and looked around him, then he asked with a deep voice, “Why are you here?”
Nell shrugged and showed an innocent look. “I’m here to race!”
Liam’s face darkened right away.
Not far away, Janet noticed Nell too.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, and she immediately went through the crowd and ran toward Nell.
“Nelly, what are you doing? Stop fooling around, quickly come back with me!”
Janet was extremely anxious, but she kept hiding behind Nell as she tried to pull her back.
When Liam saw Janet, he recognized her at once even though she was hiding behind Nell in a cap and a mask.
His already dark face instantly turned colder.
Nell secretly grasped Janet while she looked at Liam calmly.
“Why? Are you surprised to see me, Senior Jackman? You’re not afraid to compete, are you?”
Liam sneered.
He turned and walked away.
“Elder Brother Jackman, where are you going? Are we not going to compete?”
Liam expressed coldly, “She’s not from Dark Horse. Since Gareth doesn’t have the guts to take part, this round becomes invalid.”
‘What?’
Everyone else was baffled.
Nell frowned but said out loud, “Liam Jackman, who said I’m not a Dark Horse member? Can’t I join at the last minute? On the other hand, aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed if word about you running away from a battle spreads?”
Lian halted.
He turned to cast a cold look at Nell.
Nell continued in a hurry, “How about we make a bet? If I lose today, Dark Horse will quit the race and will never participate in any future rallies in the country, but if I win…”
She paused and pulled Janet to the front.
Following that, she smiled with her eyes squinted. “You’ll have a meal with my sis here, what do you think?”
Waves of laughter and whistles filled the air as soon as she finished.
The people around them jeered.
Even though Janet wore a cap and a mask, it was not hard to imagine based on her eyes and her great figure that she was a beauty.
On the racetrack, it was always a battle of hormones.
Women were like good race cars, and they were targets that men wanted to conquer the most.
Janet held onto Nell’s hand tightly, trembling badly due to nervousness.
When the man walked past her, she heard a soft yet chilly voice coming from above her head.
“You’ll never have this opportunity again!”
Janet’s face became as white as a sheet.
Due to the cheers, the loud noise in the venue, and the fact that Liam lowered his voice, Janet was the only one who heard him.
Even Nell, who was next to Janet, did not know exactly what the man had said.
Seeing as Janet did not look too well, Nell asked worriedly, “What happened to you? Is anything wrong?”
Janet shook her head.
“I-I’m fine. Nelly, you’ve never joined a car race, so are you sure you’ll be fine?”
She was concerned.
Nell patted her shoulder with a smile.
“Don’t worry, just wait for the candlelight dinner with your Mr. Perfect!”
Afterward, she flipped her hair confidently and put on her helmet, then she walked toward her race car.
Once the racers took their positions, the whistle was blown, and the race started.
Three race cars zoomed out at the same time, but Liam was soon ranked first for the time being.
Nell followed steadily behind Liam, and she went past a few obstacles smoothly while she constantly stayed close behind him.
The two of them quickly grew far ahead of the racer in third place, but when Liam noticed through the rearview mirror the car behind him, he could not help but frown.
