CEO is Chasing Ex Wife Back

Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Pain After dinner, the race team called again. Terry scratched his head tiredly. He didn’t want to go. Aurora noticed it. She figured that she had taken a leave and had nothing to do. She could be generous once. “I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen them for a long time. I’ll buy some drinks on the way.” “Great.” Terry finally smiled When they arrived, everyone was in a bad mood. “What’s wrong? Why’re you all so grumpy?” Aurora wore a stunning dress, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention. “Aurora!” “You look so different today.” “I wondered why Terry couldn’t be here today. It turns out that he had a date!” None of them knew that Terry bumped into Aurora at Zac’s wedding. “Come. Everyone gets a drink!” Aurora hollered. She then saw Tom hijack Terry away. “Why do you act so strange? Where is Abel?” Aurora unscrewed the bottle and asked. “The race team had a rough time recently. Terry had family affairs to attend to, so he didn’t concentrate on practicing. We couldn’t get a sponsor. The money was tight. And we’re at our wit’s end.” As Aurora listened, she frowned and sympathized with them. Without sufficient funds, it was impossible to build a race team. “Black Rider was popular since his debut. But I don’t know what’s going on recently. He’s off all the time. His family urged him to marry that young lady. He’s almost desperate.” “And the Walton Group has withdrawn their investment…” This was what Terry tried to tell her just now. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Aurora’s brows were furrowed deeper. She wondered whether Terry would give up his dream like those retired racers who were pressured to leave. She didn’t want that to happen to Terry. Inside the room, Terry had gotten into a fight with Tom. “There aren’t losses to the team. I promise. At most, we’ll part ways.” Terry’s face darkened. His voice was loud. Tom shook his head. “Your heart is not with us right now. How long do you think Abel can hang in there? We walked this far because we all liked Black Rider.” “What do you mean?” “Calm down. It’s just about money. Abel went to look for sponsorships. Maybe he will succeed! You know that Terry has been under a lot of pressure recently. Just leave him alone.” The crowd surrounded them. Some people began to defuse the tension. Aurora stood at the back, not knowing if she should leave quietly. After all, she was just an outsider. “Weren’t it for Aurora, you would have left and gone back to your rich life. We are a team, and this is not a place for you to pick up girls,” Tom blurted out. “I never thought that way!” Terry howled and threw his fist at Tom. “Don’t…” The place fell into chaos. Before the fight had a winner, Aurora yanked Terry out. There were wounds on Terry’s forehead and chin. He lowered his head and apologized, “I’m sorry for dragging you into this.” Aurora did not speak. She then ran to the store not far away. She brought back a bottle of ice water and two cans of beer. She tossed the beer to him and pressed the ice bottle on his face to reduce the swelling. Terry hung his head to avoid letting Aurora see the emotions in his eyes. She was smart. She would know.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Maybe I can help.” Aurora sat on the steps and shook her legs. After a few sips of beer, the sour and bitter taste lingered in his mouth. Terry’s eyes lit up. He could not help but ask, “Are you willing to help?” “Yes.” Aurora rolled her eyes. “You are my best friend in Clouston. Helen and my other friends are not around…” She frowned and made a serious decision. “Take it.” “What’s this?” Terry scrutinized the bank card that she stuffed into his hand. “I’m giving you money for the team.” Aurora kicked the stones on the ground. She just got the money today! But Terry was kind to her and helped her so many times. She could not watch him be in trouble. Terry looked at the card and didn’t say a word. Aurora waited for a “thank-you” for a long while, but it didn’t arrive. So, she shot him a stare and said, “Don’t underestimate me. This money is quite a lot!”. 17 thousand dollars. It was enough for her to pay a few months’ debts. “Do I look like someone short of money?” Terry gritted his teeth. Aurora nodded seriously. Then she spilled the truth. “If you don’t date Sara, will your mother still give you money?” Terry didn’t refute, but he hoped that Aurora would help him in another way, although she wouldn’t agree. For example, pretend to be his girlfriend and go home with him. Terry lowered his head and sighed dejectedly. “No need. You keep it. I know your situation. Besides, no matter how poor I am, I won’t take a woman’s money.” “Come on. Now you think I’m a woman?” “I’ve always…” Terry choked while looking at her beautiful face.

He knew that Aurora wanted revenge, not a relationship. So, he didn’t want to make her hate him. After he proposed on the stage last time, he had figured it out. As long as he could stay by her side, fame was nothing to him. Suddenly, he grinned, “Don’t worry. I won’t fight with them. Abel texted me and said that the negotiation was smooth. We’ll have sponsors anytime soon. I won’t give up my dream just like that.” “You don’t need my money?” Aurora asked again. “No.” When his voice trailed off, Aurora snatched the card away. She carefully put it away. Terry saw it and was both angry and amused. “If you don’t want to give it to me, why take it out?” “You don’t understand. It’s also painful for me to do it.” They chatted and laughed as they walked to the subway station. Aurora declined Terry’s offer for a ride and exchanged two subways to get home. A few street lamps shimmered on her way home. There was a completely dark road. Suddenly, a beam of light shone on her. It was getting closer, but the car did not drive past her. It just followed her. Aurora frowned and looked back a few times, signaling the car to leave first. She thought that they were the same people that Faye hired. Since she couldn’t dodge it, she gritted her teeth and strode towards the car. Aurora knocked on the window and said, “If you have something to say, just say it. What does Faye want now?” After a long time, the window was rolled down. A cold face emerged from the back seat. “Get in the car,” he said indifferently.
