Chapter 45

The lady in front of Nell and Lucy was generous enough to give each of them a small banner, which had Liam’s car-racing team’s name on it.

Afterward, she even reminded Lucy, “Sis, seeing as we’re both fans of the same car-racing god, I’ll give you a kind reminder. Don’t wrap yourself up so tightly; you’ll easily be misunderstood as a spy from an opposing team.

“But don’t worry, I trust you! I can tell at one glance that you look familiar, so I’m sure you’re not an undercover!”

Nell could clearly sense Janet freeze for a split second.

Janet smiled embarrassedly. “Is that so? Thank you for trusting me!”

On the other hand, Nell tried very hard to hold in her laughter, so she quickly changed the topic. “How long more before the competition begins?”

“8:00 pm.” The lady in front of them checked her watch. “It’s almost time.”

As soon as she said it, a loud whistle was heard coming from the opposite side.

Following that, thunderous cheers were heard as racers from the eight car-racing teams showed up!

Janet went mad at once!

“Ahhhhhh... He’s out! He’s so hot, so fine, so handsome! Nelly, did you see him? He’s inside that blue race car; his eyes look extremely deep, and his skin is incredibly fair. I haven’t seen him for some time, but he seems to have become more attractive! Ohhh, he’s really cool and stylish!”

Nell. “...”

The racers wore helmets in their respective driver’s seat, and she was only greeted with striking reflected lights when she turned to look, so how was Liam handsome?

Feeling speechless, Nell tugged Janet’s sleeve and whispered, “Janet, calm down!”

“I can’t!”

“Don’t forget that you’re a celebrity.”

“Sob, a celebrity needs love too!”

Nell. “...”

She honestly could not stand how love-struck her best friend was, so she gritted her teeth and reprimanded softly, “In any case, you’re the Hancock family’s eldest young lady, as well as the number one beauty in the entertainment industry. You’ve pursued him for six years. Now you’re waving a flag and screaming with a bunch of fans. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Janet. “...”

She turned to glare at Nell.

“You’re touching a sore spot!”

As Nell smiled proudly, she gazed past Liam’s team and noticed a black race car on the opposite.

The small flags and banners over there had Gareth Leith’s name on them.

When Nell had searched for information on the internet last night, she accidentally stumbled upon Gareth’s other identity — a top-notch car racer for Dark Horse Racing Team.

Although Gareth was already a renowned director in the country, he normally kept a low profile, hence not many people were aware of his other identity.

Besides, car-racing was quite a closed circle. People who did not pay attention to it would not follow its news, so an even smaller bunch of people would know of this.

Nell lowered her head to ponder, then she told Janet an excuse that she was going to the toilet.

On the racing circuit, a whistle was blown, indicating that the competition had begun.

The 4-kilometer-long rallycross was separated into a qualifying round and the finals, making a total of three rounds!

Among the eight teams, only four teams that passed the qualifying round would enter the finals.

The finals consisted of two rounds, and the bottom-out system would be adopted. In the final round, the racers would contend with each other and the first to reach the finishing line would be deemed victorious.

Before this, Liam Jackman was the champion four times in a row.

However, before Liam, the champion had always belonged to the Dark Horse Racing Team.

This time, Gareth personally represented Dark Horse Racing Team, so the morale of its members was greatly boosted, and they were determined to reclaim the title.

Soon enough, the qualifying round ended.

Unsurprisingly, the Dark Horse Racing Team qualified.

Apart from them, Flying Eagle, whose representative was Liam, and two other car-racing teams qualified too.

The finals were about to begin.

In the resting room, Gareth’s teammates were helping him to relax when one of them suddenly approached him and said, “Elder Brother Leith, someone’s here to see you.”

Gareth was rather surprised.

“Who?”

That person scratched his head and was somehow blushing a little.

“I don’t know her, but she’s quite pretty.”

Gareth was even more shocked.

“A lady?”

“Mm.”

“Let her in!”

With that, Nell was led into the resting room, and she immediately spotted Gareth, who was sitting on a chair.

As compared to when he was a director, Gareth looked sharper at the moment. Even though he was in his forties, he looked as quick-witted as a hot-

blooded teen.

Nell smiled, walked calmly toward the man, and stretched out her hand. “Director Leith, long time no see.”

“It’s you?”

Gareth was taken aback.

He knew Nell.

Five years ago, he was an examiner at the Royal Academy of Arts’ entrance exam, and he had seen the girl’s work.

Gareth was amazed, but Nell was later accused of plagiarism and for stealing her younger sister’s work, thus she was disqualified.

While Gareth felt that it was such a pity, there was nothing he could do because of the rule. Later on, he got caught up with work, so he no longer followed the matter.

He was not expecting to meet Nell here.

After a brief moment, Gareth smiled politely and stood up to shake her hand.

Nell expressed with a smile, “Director Leith, it’s such an honor that you still remember me.”

Gareth forced a smile.

“Why did you come to see me?”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t come because of what happened five years ago. I indeed felt wronged, but it’s already in the past. Besides, nobody would want to cling to the same old boring issue, right?”

Gareth furrowed his eyebrows and was about to say something.

Nell beat him to it.

“I heard the Dark Horse Racing Team is fighting for first place?”

The moment she brought this up, everyone around her became spirited.

Nell successfully attracted Gareth’s attention too.

Gareth stared at Nell and asked with a deep voice, “So what if that’s the case?”

Nell grinned.

“Director Leith, I might sound impolite for saying this, but it’s the truth — the Dark Horse Racing Team has a slim chance of winning first place.”

Spoiled by the President Chapter 44 Pursued Her Crush For Six Years Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 As soon as she finished, everyone else looked displeased.

In fact, one of them rebuked, “The finals haven’t even started yet, so why are you saying this?”

“Exactly! I’m sure you came on purpose to stir up trouble. Believe it or not, we’ll kick you out now!”

Nell curled her lips and was still composed as she looked at the people around her.

Next, she analyzed without a hurry, “Director Leith’s last competition was four years ago when he sadly lost to Liam Jackman by 0.5 seconds. In the end, his title as the car-racing god was stripped off him, and he hasn’t participated in a competition ever since.

“Liam has been consecutively crowned champion these past four years, whereas Dark Horse has been training hard to reclaim the champion’s title. I know Director Leith has been putting in a lot of effort too, and his timing reduced from 2 minutes and 3 seconds from four years ago to 1 minute and 54 seconds.

“Needless to say, it’s considered an astonishing result in a 4-kilometers-long rallycross, but do you know Liam’s result in the international competition last month?”

Gareth’s face changed.

Nell uttered with a smile, “1 minute and 48 seconds.”

Everyone else gasped.

Though it was only a 6-seconds difference, everyone knew how tough it was to close the gap.

At such a high level, almost everyone had unleashed their potential to the maximum, and it was nearly impossible to advance further.

That said, 1 minute and 48 seconds was such an absurd result!
