On their way back to the venue, Tammy told Matthew what the the Brisco group was up to. As his eyes turned dark, Tammy said in a serious tone, âThank you for telling me that, Tammy. Damn it! Are they out of their mind? They are even willing to sacrifice their team members just to go against us.â
Pouting, Tammy snapped, âHow dare they! Theyâre so despicable! What should we do now, Matthew?â
Matthew said calmly before leaving, âIâll take care of it. You should stay here. Donât go anywhere, okay? I will send you and Alicia back after the opening ceremony is over.â
Still, Tammy was worried as she watched Matthew walk away âTammy, take it easy. Your brother is so powerful, so he will definitely come up with a solution,â Alicia said as she patted Tammy on the shoulder âBut Iâm afraid theyâll do something even more outrageous.â
âThey wonât do anything to Matthew, will they?â Alicia asked with wariness âIâm not sure.â
Hearing that, Alicia asked, surprised, âWhat?! This is way too outrageous!â
âCalm down, ladies. They wouldnât dare to do anything here,â Dominic chipped in. Both Tammy and Alicia turned around as they heard his voice. âItâs on me,â Dominic said as he handed them each a Coke âThanks.â Alicia drank her Coke right away. She elbowed Tammy, who was still frozen, and said, âHey! He got you a drink.â It wasnât until then 558 Safe At Last hd that Tammy snapped back to attention âI had no idea your brother was the president of the Carousel Group Itâs no surprise that you always act recklessly,â Looking at Tammy, Dominic said straightforwardly âAre you blaming me for what happened before?â
âNo. Iâm complimenting you.â
âReally? But I donât think so.â Lowering her head, Tammy hesitated for quite a while before looking up at Dominic and continuing, â-Dominic, Iâm sorry for misunderstanding you earlier.â
Dominic froze before reaching out and rubbing Tammyâs hair. And Tammy asked in astonishment, her eyes widening in shock, âWhat are you doing?!â Later, she avoided his hand Dominic burst out laughing and said, âRelax! I didnât take it personally anyways. After all, youâre just a kid.â
âIâm not a kid anymore. Iâm only sixteen years old.â
âExactly!â Alicia, who was next to Tammy, also muttered in dissatisfaction âSo? Youâre both kids to me. But your brother looks like an adult to me. You know, adults have to shoulder a great deal of responsibility and sacrifice of many of their favorite things when itâs necessary,â Dominic said as he sat on the following step I have to admit that I envy you two. Both of you are at a point when you try to be independent and hate being treated like children. Iâve been there, too. So, Igetit. However, when you become a real adult, you must learn to weigh the pros and cons and hide your emotions sometimes Besides, you will have no choice but to be forced to accept the numerous unavoidable things that life throws at you. Dominic thought to himself âIs that why you retired? Youâre not old enough to retire, and your record is still at the top of the charts. Are you doing this because of the so-called responsibilities?â Tammy asked With a resigned smile, Dominic replied, âWhat makes you think that way? Turning my hobby into a career is boring, and I no longer want to do it. I can also give young people more opportunities by retiring. Actually, Iâm doing this for everyoneâs own good.â
Tammy frowned when she thought of Dominicâs advertising contract And she didnât believe a single word he was saying At that moment, they could see on the big screen that the first car had safely crossed the finish line while the second was in the midst of a full sprint. Anumber of cars also stopped halfway through the race due to taking a corner too fast or breaking down âThatâs the car of the Brisco Group!â Alicia yelled The commentator said, âJayden from Team Carousel is pursuing Ben from Team Brisco. Jayden will win if he surpasses Ben in the front corner.â
The commentator kept explaining to the audience what was happening on the spot. The two cars were preparing to drift through the turn, one in front of the other. And Jaydenâs car drove to the front after a sharp braking sound In excitement, the commentator said, âJayden just made a breathtaking move! He managed to get rid of Ben. This is Jadenâs best result since he entered the industry, and it could make him a dark horse.â
âPerfect! Did you hear that? He made it!â Alicia exclaimed excitedly Tammy fixed her gaze on the screen. And everyone noticed Briscoâs car hanging on the cliffâs edge when the smoke cleared.
The next second, everyone was taken aback and they starteddiscussing âWhatâs going on here?â
âSomething happened to Benâs car.â
âRight.â
The commentary immediately said, âThe rescue team has arrived, and they said no one was harmed.â
Hearing that, Tammy exhaled a sigh of relief. She thought, No wonder the two cars didnât collide! Turns out Ben drove his car into the guardrail himself. Thank God Jayden dodged a bullet âJayden is so lucky! But if Kevin was here, he would have performed better.â Alicia expressed her dissatisfaction Dominic said, âJayden did it not because heâs lucky, but because heâs a good racer.â
âHow do you know?â
âBecause Iâm his friend. Overtaking in corners is his strongest skill, and heâs rarely faced competition in that,â Smiling, Dominic answered Tammy froze and asked, âIs he your friend? So youâve come to see Jayden today?â
âYeah. Didnât I just say that?â Dominic asked, winking at her âYou...â Tammy felt even more humiliated, as she had just called him a jerk. She had no idea he would be on her team Alicia was Kevinâs big fan. Because the player in the competition was Jayden, Kevin could only be the substitute player. Alicia appeared upset when she found out Dominic was Jaydenâs friend. And she snapped, âYou two are both jerks! Itâs not surprising that you two are friends!â
âYou can call him a jerk, but not me,â Dominic said âYou stole our contract, and then your friend Jayden stole my idolâs spot in the competition.â
âThatâs...â
Because Dominic had just saved her life, Tammy felt she had to speak up for him. Then she chipped in, âDid you get Kevinâs autograph, Alicia? â
âNo! I couldnât find him anywhere.â
Dominic asked, âWould you like to meet him?â
âOf course! Can you tell me where he is?â
âAll the substitutes will arrive at the finish line the other way.â
âKevin is at the finish line? Great! Iâm going to find him now.â Alicia exclaimed happily âDid you guys drive here?â Dominic asked âNo,â With a wry smile, Alicia answered âI can drive you there.â
âThat wonât be necessary,â Tammy replied, shaking her head. She was so embarrassed by what had just happened that she didnât want to spend any more time with Dominic anymore. âIâm going to call my brother right now and let his driver take us there.â With that, Tammy immediately stood up and gripped the flagpole to keep her balance. She dialed Matthewâs number âHello? Matthew.â
âWhatâs up?â
âAlicia and I both want to go to the finish line. Can you arrange for your driver to take us there?â
âHeâs currently driving me there. My assistant is still at the venue, so Iâll let him...â
Tammy then heard a loud bang. And then she heard something hit the ground. Soon, the phone was disconnected âWhat happened, Matthew? Are you okay?â Tammy asked anxiously over the phone âWhatâs the matter?â Alicia asked the moment she noticed that Tammy was nervous âSomething happened to my brother!â Tammy said in a panic
