Chapter 528: 528: You are not allowed to leave alone

Wendy Clarke was right, Zoe Silverstone was the one who could get things done.

After Zoe Silverstone had left, Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos had retired to rest.

On Friday, they took the opportunity to stroll around Belford.

They went to the famous scenic spots in Belford.

Due to the multitude of scenic spots in Belford, they selected one of the most famous to visit first.

As time flew, it was already Saturday.

Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova, just like last Monday, took Morgan Zhekova to the family mansion first.

Then everyone went to the racecourse together.

“What’s the challenge for today’s competition? Nothing was mentioned last time,” the Old Madam asked Adrian Zhekova, “Do you know anything?”

“I usually don’t interfere in this. The organizers have their own agenda. However, I did plan to ask so I could give Cindy a heads up,” said Adrian Zhekova, “but Cindy refused. She felt it would be unfair to the other contestants.”

“Moreover, she enjoys the thrill of not knowing the test in advance. She thinks that this relies on adaptability and on-the-spot performance, making it a true test of ability and culinary skills,” Adrian Zhekova added.

“And that, I believe, is the very reason the organizers designed this competition in this way,” Cindy Clarke mentioned. “I would like to respect that.”

“Exactly, you are right,” the Old Madam agreed with a nod.

However, Adrian Zhekova doubted whether the Old Madam had actually thought about it at all.

In any case, whatever their granddaughter-in-law says, must be correct.

“And actually, the secretive nature of this competition is quite intriguing,” the Old Madam added as she prepared to leave for the racecourse.

They drove there.

As they approached the racecourse, Maverick Zhekova noticed the surrounding arrangements and raised an eyebrow.

“What is the kid up to?” Maverick Zhekova asked Victoria Wheeler, “Has he assigned all the family guards here? And even with the top-notch equipment.”

Upon hearing this, Victoria Wheeler also took notice: “Goodness, it all seems defensive. This setup is so rigorous it appears that not even a fly could penetrate. Even in a conflict zone, this would suffice.”

Not only them, the Old Master and Old Madam had also noticed.

The Old Madam asked the Old Master in confusion: “Did we receive any information in advance? Is someone planning to ambush us on the way?”

“Stop talking nonsense! Ambush what?!” The Old Master glanced outside the window and suddenly fell silent.

The Old Master: “….”

“Even anti-sniper formations are in place?” The Old Master asked in astonishment, “Could it be that someone saw us watch the last two rounds and is planning to take advantage of this one to sabotage us?”

Then the Old Master’s mind began to spin with conspiracy theories.

He quickly started reviewing various tactics and guessing who else would dare to cross such a line.

The Old Madam wanted to call Adrian Zhekova to ask, but she was afraid that if it was a particularly serious matter, the call would distract Adrian Zhekova and cause trouble.

So, the Old Madam had to bear with it.

It wasn’t until they reached the entrance of the racecourse and Adrian Zhekova’s car stopped that the nerves of the mansion’s elders tightened.

Even Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler had their nerves on edge.

Although, Maverick Zhekova had not received any information about an ambush.

He was puzzled just now.

If there was genuinely danger, how could Adrian Zhekova have taken their whole family out?

Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheelers are one thing, but the elders and Morgan Zhekova, one too old and one too young…

Given Adrian Zhekova’s personality, he would not put them at risk.

Just as he was thinking about this, Adrian Zhekova’s car door opened.

Right after, Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke got out of the car.

Seeing them chatting and laughing, there was no sign they were in any sort of danger.

“I’ll go check it out.” Maverick Zhekova said to Victoria Wheeler.

When Maverick Zhekova opened the car door, Victoria Wheeler suddenly grabbed his arm, “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, look, Adrian and Cindy are outside and they’re just fine.” Maverick pat Victoria Wheeler’s hand, smiling, “Are you worried about me?”

“Of course!” Victoria Wheeler rolled her eyes, “How could I not be worried about you?”

“Looking at you always being jealous of Morgan in front of the Old Madam, I thought you didn’t like me anymore.” Maverick expressed his grievances.

“How can that be!” Victoria Wheeler raised her voice to prove her innocence.

“I just… I just want to secure my position in the family!” Victoria Wheeler grabbed Maverick’s arm, “But my favorite is still you.”

“No, that’s wrong, we are husband and wife, the word ‘like’ isn’t enough to express my feelings.” Victoria Wheeler continued, “In short, you are the most important to me.”

“Really?” Maverick remembered the Old Madam and Morgan’s way of comforting people, and felt that her words might not be completely genuine.

“Of course it’s true.” Victoria Wheeler held Maverick’s face and gave him a quick peck, “No one compares to you.”

Maverick’s eyes lit up, he immediately asked, “Does that mean that even your mother doesn’t compare to me?”

Victoria Wheeler: “…..”

This question was really a tough one for her.

Why did Maverick have to do this?

But still, Victoria Wheeler nodded: “None of them compare to you.”

Maverick was utterly satisfied. He then squeezed Victoria’s hand, “Alright, I’m going down now, don’t worry about me.”

Victoria Wheeler pondered for a moment, then said, “I will go with you.”

Seeing Maverick’s surprise, Victoria Wheeler elaborated, “If there’s no danger, then there’s no problem in getting off the car with you.”

“But if there really is danger, I want to be with you. I won’t let you face the danger alone,” Victoria Wheeler continued, “Besides, look, Cindy is out there with Adrian. If they aren’t afraid, why should I be?”

Victoria Wheeler held Maverick’s hand, “In any case, I want to get off the car with you.”

Even if something really happens, they will face it together.

Now, Maverick truly believed her.

Victoria Wheeler had said that he was the most important person to her.

She wasn’t just trying to comfort him.

Maverick looked at Victoria Wheeler with gratitude, a smile formed unknowingly.

He nodded and was about to get out of the car.

But then Victoria Wheeler pulled him back, “Aren’t we supposed to go together? You’re not allowed to go alone!”

“This…” Maverick couldn’t help laughing, “We can’t both get out of the car from my side, right? If you won’t let go of me, I can’t get out of the car, and you can’t get out of the car either, right?”

It was only then that Victoria Wheeler realized, it was indeed so.

She let go of Maverick and said, “Then wait for me.”

After speaking, she hurried to open her own door.

Maverick also got off the car and went with Victoria Wheeler to find Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.

As for the elders, they wanted to disembark as well, but Morgan Zhekova was still in the car.

They couldn’t take the risk, so they could only watch.

“Adrian, what’s going on? I saw our family’s bodyguards on high alert along the way, even the anti-sniper formation is in place,” Maverick Zhekova whispered. “Is there an attack?”

Cindy Clarke was startled upon hearing this.

“Anti-sniper formation?” Cindy Clarke was taken aback.
