Chapter 468 "No!"
Jean was annoyed by being questioned.
In the past, Ben would usually play along.
Why was he so aggressive today? And he was sure that she was hiding something.It unexpectedly made her think of that man.
"Then why did Ed..."
Jean's pupils trembled.
"What?"
The deeper meaning in Ben's brows was suppressed.He took a deep breath in.
"Let's go.We'll talk about it on the way.Deep in his heart, he was on Jean's side.There were numerous times when he had the impulse to tell her the whole story but stopped when it was on the tip of his tongue.He would hear what Edgar said.
"If you truly want what's best for her, you'll work with me.At least you know that I will never harm her." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Ben couldn't compare to him in that respect.
Compared to Ben, Edgar could even surrender his company readily.
Ben knew that he was inferior to Edgar on that alone.
"Ben, you have something you're hiding from me, don't you?"
Jean bought a snack and held it in her hands.
"No"
This time, Ben answered quickly.He quickened his footsteps and walked ahead after that.
With such an accident on the practice racecourse, it attracted much media attention.
At the same time, an unexpected guest was sitting in the organizing manager's office.
"I must see Dark Horse on the racecourse.I don't care how much money I have to invest."
There was a black veil on Sherry's head.Her beautiful eyes were hidden.
Otherwise, the shining animosity in her eyes could be seen clearly.
"About this..."
The manager was in a difficult position.
Because he had received news today that Dark Horse had great capital power behind them.
A few company bosses had spoken to him.
"I'm sorry, Ms.Summer.Although we're organizing this competition, the specific rules are in the hands of the local associations.According to the rules, Dark Horse's racers can't join the competition"
The manager was sweating slightly from embarrassment.
The racing team had been the ones to come up with such a request.
It so happened to fit in with the rules, which was a favor done at little cost.
Sherry couldn't accept such an excuse from him.
"You may reject me, of course, but no one can stop Pinnacle Group from doing anything.You better think about the consequences."
When she said that, the manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Ms.Summer, please stop making things difficult for me.International racing competitions like these have rules’ "Alright.Forget I was here today."
"Thank you for understanding, Ms.Summer!"
The manager got up and bowed at once, wanting to send her off.He didn't expect Sherry to smile coldly.
"There's no need to see me off"
Before the manager could come to his senses, an investor was already calling him.
Sherry wore her shades and strutted out.She saw Jean and Ben's pictures on a display board through the glass.
"You like to race?"
The smile on her face became more sinister, and she quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Jean sat by a bridge and sneezed two times in a row.She sighed in exasperation.
"What bad luck.Do I have to come to terms with reality and go home like this?"
She turned her head and looked at Ben.
"You feel reluctant too, don't you?"
There was still a light in Ben's eyes when he talked about racing.
It was by chance that he had abandoned this industry at first.
Jean believed that deep in his heart, he still wanted to compete as a racer again.
At that moment, rays from the sunset shrouded him.
From Jean's perspective, his expression was hard to read.
"Jeannie, are you..."
Ben opened his mouth, but he still swallowed what he wanted to say.His cell phone rang, and he looked at the caller ID.
"It's Sonny."
As soon as he picked up, Sonny's panicked voice was heard.
"Ben, quickly come back to the hotel.We have to go and see the organizer.
They suddenly announced that they're canceling the suspension of our team!"
Sonny didn't know what they were thinking.He had made a few calls, but they felt that he was annoying.
"What?"
Ben's brows furrowed tightly.
"Alright.I'll come back right now:"
Jean noticed that his expression wasn't right, so she immediately came over.
"What happened?"
Ben looked at her and wanted to say something but stopped.
"Let's talk about it when we get back"
Unless it was necessary, he didn't want Jean to know the mysterious racer's identity.
He wasn't hiding it from her on purpose, but rather, he didn't want her to be hurt.
At least he and Edgar had the same goal in that aspect.
Jean watched him hum and haw.
"Let's go back."
Forty minutes later, everyone from the race team arrived at the organizing manager's office.
Seeing so many people come over, the manager's face changed at once.
"According to the rules, you should be suspended, but we're empathizing with your racing aspirations, so we made an exception and allowed you to race.Why are you still unhappy?"
The manager was slightly annoyed.
He had been tormented over this for the past few days.
Why does an unknown race team have such tangled and complicated power behind them?
"We can race?"
Jean's eyes lit up.She grabbed Ben.
"Then why are we still here? Let's go and train.Come on."
But no matter how much she pulled him, Ben didn't move at all.He looked at her with a particularly fierce gaze.
Jean was frightened at that moment.She slowly pursed her lips.
"I'll go along with everyone"
But she had a bad premonition.She felt as if Ben didn't want the team to compete.
His attitude had changed ever since the accident at the practice race.
Why is that the case? Jean didn't say anything.
Seeing Ben's expression, Sonny immediately went forward to smooth things over.
"We're not here to make a fuss.We just wanted to ask why the organizing committee suddenly changed its mind.We've already bought our return tickets since we can't race anymore" Sonny said with a smile.
Such a demeanor made the manager's expression soften a little.
"I received a call from the investor..."
Before the manager could finish, he was pushed aside.
A slender figure walked in, and there was beautiful makeup on her face.
"I heard that you were here, so I intentionally came over to greet you and tell you that Pinnacle Group is an investor in this race."
There was a half-smile on Sherry's face.
She looked at the manager.
"They're my friends.I'll deal with the rest.You may leave."
The manager nodded like a chick pecking on rice.
When the door shut, Sonny also led the rest of the team out.
Only Jean and Ben were left.
And in front of them was Sherry, with a graceful posture and smug look.
"As far as I know, Pinnacle Group has never thought it worth investing in such competitions.What a surprise to see you here, Ms.Summer"
There was a sliver of animosity in Ben's cold eyes.Sherry burst out laughing.
"Pinnacle Group can't do what Edgar is doing?"
Jean's eyes shook.
What does this have to do with Edgar?
