In any case, she did not go there just to win this competition. It did not matter how she won, as long as she did.
Once she won the competition, she could go back and use it as an exchange with Gregory Graham, for him to tell her about what happened during her memory loss nine years ago.
Thinking of this matter, Nell’s heart could not help but feel uneasy and nervous.
The decision to unearth those memories was one that she hesitated for a very long time.
Regardless, it was part of her life story. She did not want to leave herself with any regrets. Moreover, she did not want to keep this ticking time-bomb for the rest of her life.
Due to this reason, Nell did not object to the organizer’s suggestion.
When the organizer’s staff member saw this, he told her to rest here for a while. He would send someone to get her before the announcement was made. Then, he went out.
Nell and Nancy stayed in the lounge. Around ten minutes later, another staff member came in.
“Is Ms. Jennings here?”
Nell stood up. “I am.”
“Please follow me to receive your prize.”
Nell nodded and followed after him. Naturally, Nancy Murray followed them.
There were a lot of people outside. Most of the race car drivers had not left, they were waiting for the winner to be announced.
The incident in the lounge had been spreading through word of mouth like wildfire. Most people already found out what happened.
The problem was that Gepira was not prejudiced against Nell alone. He was prejudiced towards all women. For this reason, many people were unhappy with him.
Even though most of the race car drivers were men, they also had female friends and female family members.
Furthermore, many members of the racing fans and cheerleading squads consisted of women. Hence, no one wanted such a misogynistic man to win the competition.
Therefore, when the organizer finally announced that Nell Jennings was the winner by default, everyone cheered.
Everyone had seen Nell’s race performance earlier, so they were convinced of her skills.
If it had been another person, someone would have stood up and objected, dissatisfied with the outcome.
Precisely because the winner was Nell Jennings, no one objected.
There was only one reason, which was that her performance in the first three rounds had been truly phenomenal.
Although Gepira managed to finish at second place and qualified for the finals, in reality, Nell was a long distance ahead of him.
Much less the third and fourth place finishers.
Thus, everyone knew that even if the race was repeated one more time, the results would not change. So, there were no objections.
However, while everyone was admiring Nell’s skills, a suspicion arose subconsciously in their hearts.
Nell Jennings was a newcomer, yet judging by her driving skills and techniques, she did not appear like a novice. She seemed like an expert driver with many years of experience.
Above all, her techniques closely resembled someone.
That person was a historic figure in the car racing world. Right from the beginning, she set many world records that remained unchallenged until now.
That person was the genius racer, Seven.
Regarding this Seven, most people already guessed that it was just a codename.
As for her real name, where she came from, and how she looked, no one knew at all.
Every time she appeared, she always stood there coolly, wearing a silver mask. Her entire persona emitted a frigid aura that prevented people from approaching her.
Many people tried to guess what kind of face lay behind the mask.
On the other side, Nell carried her trophy and got into a car with Nancy Murray.
Once they got into the car, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Nancy smiled. “Everyone else would be begging to be interviewed by those reporters, to increase their public exposure. You, on the other hand, made an excuse about going to the bathroom and immediately slipped away after receiving the prize. People might even wonder if we had stolen this trophy.”
Nell could not help but feel amused by Nancy’s comment.
She chuckled. “What choice do I have? I dislike this kind of event. Besides, I cannot let Gideon find out that I came to participate in a racing competition. If I accept an interview and Gideon sees it by accident, my secret will be out!”
Nancy raised an eyebrow at her. “Then, do you plan to continue keeping it secret forever?”
Nell paused.
Nancy’s gaze turned earnest.
“I don’t know if I’m right, and I also know that based on my position, I shouldn’t tell you this, but I think… It’s not good for us to hide the truth from your husband.”
Nell pursed her lips and fell silent.
How could she not know that it was not good to hide the truth from him?
If it was not necessary, she would never deliberately lie to him.
Trust between two people was not easily built.
Over these years, Nell could truly feel the trust and patience Gideon showed her, as well as his unlimited love and care.
She always felt that, even after experiencing so many ups and downs in her life, she was lucky that she met Gideon Leith, got together with him, and experienced such a blissful relationship.
However, there was always an odd feeling lingering in the depths of her heart.
Perhaps it was because a long time ago, someone told her that Gideon Leith was more than meets the eye.
