Stanley’s sports car suddenly swerved toward Wendy , attempting to force her off the track .
But Wendy didn’t back down . The right side of her car scraped against the wall , sending sparks flying . In the blink of an eye , she skillfully drifted her car to the side and chased after Stanley .
Her control of the car was impressive , even stunning .
Stanley watched Wendy , feeling the breeze on his face . Her long , dark hair flowed out behind her , rippling in the wind , some strands catching on her delicate cheeks and slender neck . She looked so radiant , so captivating , it was impossible to look away .
Wearing sunglasses , she slowly glanced at him , then gave him the finger .
“ Damn it ! ” Stanley muttered under his breath , a low , rough laugh escaping from his throat . The sight of her stirred something deep inside him .
She made his heart itch .
In his mind , Wendy was just a country girl , always causing trouble and orbiting around him . But there were moments , like now , when her cleverness in outwitting bad guys , her ruthless gameplay , and her boldness behind the wheel made him wonder .
Which side of her was the real one ?
She was like a puzzle .
He had started his attack ; after all , since he had made a move , he couldn’t just let her have the upper hand .
Wendy saw an obstacle ahead , and instinctively , she turned the wheel , trying to force him back . But Stanley hit the gas , using the downhill momentum to perform a perfect drift , cutting right past her like an arrow .
Wendy looked up at him , and Stanley simply shrugged his shoulders , a nonchalant smile playing on his lips .
Wendy’s red lips curled into a smile , her eyes sparkling with playful defiance .
It was a battle of equals .
Speed and adrenaline surged , igniting an uncontrollable thrill .
The two sports cars raced side by side , forming the brightest , most captivating sight on the track .
Sitting in the passenger seat , Nathan cheered with excitement . “ Wendy , I didn’t expect you to be this good at racing ! Stanley must be in shock . He’s never met anyone who could challenge him – until now . ”
Wendy smiled , amused .
“ But Wendy , the finish line’s coming up , and you still haven’t beaten Stanley . You might not get the Presidential Suite after all , ” Nathan adde
Wendy glanced ahead at the finish line . “ Don’t worry . Someone’s going to help me out . ”
Help her out ?
Who ?
Jessica sat in the passenger seat , her stomach churning with jealousy as she watched Wendy keep up with Stanley . She felt sick with envy .

Why was this happening ? Wasn’t Wendy just some country bumpkin ? How did she know how to race like this ?
Why was she shining so brightly ?
Jessica turned her gaze to Stanley . His attention was entirely on Wendy . Racing had always been his hobby , and who didn’t love someone who stood out like Wendy did ?
Jessica , who had a congenital heart condition , already felt uncomfortable in the sports car . The jealousy and bitterness only made her chest tighten painfully .
She pressed a hand to her heart , wincing in pain .
“ Stanley ! ” she cried .
The race was entering its final stage . Stanley was about to push the pedal to the metal when he heard Jessica’s anguished cry . He turned to look , and saw that her face had drained of color .
Immediately , he slowed down .
At that moment , Wendy’s car shot ahead with a roar , crossing the finish line .
Wendy had won .
Stanley drove up and parked before quickly getting out of the car with Jessica . Jessica’s condition had improved , but her face was still pale .
Wendy and Nathan climbed out of their car , and a staff member from the resort handed Wendy the key to the Presidential Suite .
Wendy took it with a smile , turning to Stanley and Jessica .
“ Mr. Hawk , Jessica , thanks for letting us win , ” she said brightly .
Jessica’s anger flared . “ You little … ”
Wendy ignored her , flashing a confident smile before turning and walking away with grace .
Jessica stood there , fuming . She felt like she was going to explode .
