My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 69

He roughly shook Chris, who was sleeping with a shirt covering his eyes. “Look! It’s the ghost drift. It’s back!”

Chris lazily opened his eyes. “You’re pulling my leg.”

However, the other person stammered in response, “L-look! Look!”

The ghost drift was so fast that it was natural he wouldn’t be able to catch a glimpse of it.

However, Chris still saw it and saw how Elyse was overtaken by the other car and was left behind by a mile.

He jumped off the car wanting to check the on-site monitor. Zoom! The other car had already returned to the starting point.

The competition ended as Julia and Amelie got down from the car.

Chris rubbed his eyes as he initially thought that it was Julia who was driving.

However, after a second look, he confirmed that it was Amelie who got down from the driver’s seat.

It was surprising to him as Elyse was known to have good technique and even the majority of the men there weren’t her competition.

However, Amelie won instead.

The person who was talking to Chris was too excited that he ran over and knelt before Amelie before chanting, “Idol! My idol!”

His surname was Perez and people addressed him as Mr. Perez.

He loved racing and was also a good person.

Mr. Perez couldn’t help but be in awe when he saw Amelie pull off the ghost drift.

He was so impressed that he was willing to die right in front of her if someone told him to. That was how outstanding Amelie was to him.

“Ghost drift? Isn’t that Dash’s move?”

The people nearby heard Mr. Perez’s chant and they started talking about it.

“Could she be Dash?”

“Dash is a woman?”

Back then, when Amelie was joining racing competitions, she always had her heavy helmet on and never showed her face.

Her racing suit was also gender neutral. So, everyone just felt that she was skinny and never assumed that she was a woman.

Leo, who was standing not far away, didn’t miss the race as well.

Even though he felt that Amelie was overestimating herself, he was still worried.

Racing was dangerous, and she could have lost her life. Despite her being a pain in the neck, he didn’t want her to actually die

In the end, not only did she not get into an accident, she even won against Elyse.

That made Leo’s somber gaze turn darker, but his dark eyes were glinting more than ever before.

After their divorce, Amelie had indeed given him many surprises. However, none of them were as shocking as

this.

He had a cornea transplant, but his vision was not comparable to those with normal eyesight. So, he couldn’t see so far away and missed the ghost drift that happened.

However, he knew very well that not many women could beat Elyse.

Now that Amelie won with a much higher score, it could only mean that she was a professional!

His useless ex-wife was a professional car-racer? What even?!

“Yo, can you believe that’s the woman you missed out on?” Even though Chris didn’t see Amelie’s ghost drift, it was a fact that she won against Elyse.

He walked over and taunted.

Leo’s face was rigid. He didn’t respond, but his face hurt

Indeed, Amelie’s move this time was a slap to his face.

He treated her coldly for four years to vent his anger. In the eyes of the outsiders, it seemed like he was treating a gem like it was gravel.

This was a huge blow to Leo’s pride.

If she had this capability, why did she hound him in the first place?

The more Amelie revealed herself, the more he couldn’t understand her.

On the other hand, Elyse walked over with her dark face. She didn’t complete the racecourse.

When Amelie used the ghost drift, she had already sealed the game.

Soon after, the distance between her and Amelie only got farther. It was pointless to finish the whole course as it would only add to her humiliation.

She stopped before Amelie. “Miss Dillon, let’s have another round.”

Elyse was focused on driving just now and didn’t notice how Amelie surpassed her.

“Why should we listen to you? We’re not a doll,” Julia bluntly answered as she walked over.

“You guys were intentionally hiding your capability. Elyse was being nice and slowed down because she didn’t want you to lose too badly. That wasn’t her usual performance. We must have a rematch,” Elyse’s co-driver, Tina, refuted vehemently.

Julia let out a laugh. “Honor the bet. Don’t make excuses.”

Her answer only made her look guilty in Tina’s eyes and confirmed Tina’s belief that they won because they were just lucky.

So, she snickered, “It seems like you’re guilty of something.”

Julia couldn’t be bothered to reply. They were the real deal and didn’t need to be afraid or feel guilty about anything

However, Julia’s disregard only angered Elyse as her face turned pink and her nails dug into her palms.

Tina wanted to comment more, but Elyse pulled on her arm to stop her. “That’s enough. You’re right. We Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

should honor the bet.”

“But…” Tina looked at her with tear-filled eyes as she felt they were wronged.

Elyse walked up to Amelie. “Miss Dillon, you guys won.”

With that, she walked toward Leo.

“Wait a minute.” Amelie, who kept her head down all this while, suddenly called her.

Batting her pretty eyelashes, she agreed, “Miss Clayton, I agree to another round.”

“What? Amy, why are you wasting your time with her?” Julia couldn’t comprehend her decision.

Amelie smiled in response and whispered in a low voice that only both of them could hear. “I have my

reasons.”

“What reasons?”

Amelie didn’t explain but traced a few words in the middle of Julia’s palm.

The confusion on her face suddenly turned into one of understanding. “You’re right. We should have another

match!”

Elyse conceded defeat on purpose to mislead the others. After all, she did wait for them at the start of the

race.

So, even if they had won, everyone would have thought that Elyse missed the perfect timing because she underestimated them. It wouldn’t be considered a true defeat.

Even if Elyse underestimated Amelie it was because she didn’t know the latter’s capabilities, so Elyse wanted to make it easier for Amelie. In the end, everyone would point their fingers at Amelie.

Since she was skilled but hid them intentionally, it was as if she was waiting for Elyse to make a fool of herself.

Ha. You want to make us the bad guys so that you’ll look good? In your dreams!

They both got in the car once more as the starter raised the pistol and another person held the timer.

Even though Amelie had won just now, Elyse had indeed taken it easy on her at the start.

Coupled with the fact that the ghost drift was too fast, not many people recognized it.

So, everyone was unconvinced and wondered who would win and who would lose.

But one thing was for sure, this was going to be an intense race.

Everyone else left their cars and gathered naturally as they turned their focus to this side.

Their faces were all tense; even more so than when joining the race themselves.

“Who do you guys think will win?” someone asked.

“Who else could it be? It’ll be Julia’s team,” the first person to answer was Mr. Perez.

The ghost drift that Amelie showed off just now was so spectacular that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. The answer to the question was a no-brainer for him.

“Don’t be so sure of yourself. Elyse isn’t an easy match. She’s been in numerous big and small competitions these few years. She’s got the experience. Besides, she lost only because she underestimated her opponent.”

Brandon, who was standing beside him, pursed his lips in Amelie’s direction. It was apparent he didn’t think

highly of her.

Mr. Perez sniggered, “You don’t even know the ropes. Do you even race?”

He was pretty rude and that made Brandon’s face turn red in an instant as he stomped away.

At the starting line, Amelie pat on her helmet as the corner of Julia’s lips curved up. “That’s it? Don’t you want to make this interesting?”

Amelie’s gaze was collected. “Someone else probably wants to make it more interesting than you do.” She gestured in the opposite direction with her chin.

Julia turned her head around to see the door to the car parked parallel to theirs pushed open and Tina got down from it.

She raised her helmet and waved it at Chris. “Let’s make this more exciting.”
