Chapter 933
As the announcer's voice echoed through the air, the Reyes family's convoy erupted in a thunderous cheer, shaking off the earlier gloom. It was finally time for Miss Reyes to take the spotlight!
Her racing skills were legendary-she could outshine Luke, heck, she could outshine just about anyone there! Flora, half-awake, was jolted by the noise. She shot a blank look their way, barely fazed. Were they really that thrilled? Comparing her to someone as unseasoned as Luke didn't even stir her interest.
The moment Luke heard his and Flora's names mentioned, he sprang to his feet, eager and restless.
"Keep it civil," Zachary cautioned, a bit worried that Luke's temper might flare and lead to a real conflict with Flora. After all, Flora was Connor's fiancée; if things went south, they'd have a mess on their hands. Luke smirked coldly. "Depends on whether she knows her place."
"Boss, once you hit the track, she won't even have time to react! With her skills, she'll be lucky to even sniff your car's exhaust," laughed the Jones family crew. They knew Luke wasn't fond of Flora and were trying to score points with him. Luke scoffed. If he gave it everything, Flora wouldn't even catch a glimpse of his car's shadow, let alone its exhaust.
Their loud attempt to belittle Flora didn't go unnoticed, reaching the Reyes side in full.
Adrian and his crew looked at them like they'd lost their minds. Flora trailing behind Luke's exhaust? Who on earth gave them that kind of confidence?
Leigh strutted onto the stage with a smug smile, stealing a glance at Flora. She rose slowly, exuding an icy calm.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
He sneered, wondering if she could keep that cool demeanor when the race began.
"Have fun, enjoy yourself," Connor said, placing the helmet on Flora's head and giving it a playful pat. To the Reyes family, what the Jones family saw as a critical race was merely a bit of fun.
Flora mused to herself that she did want to enjoy the race. But with competition like this, it was hard to get excited. She might as well just wrap it up quickly and head back for a nap.
"Go, Miss Reyes!"
"Show him what you've got, sis!"
"Flora, give it your all!"
Adrian and Kruz were cheering so hard their faces turned crimson. Flora chuckled inwardly at their enthusiasm, finding them endearingly naive.
"Flora, be safe," Raul and Henrik chimed in. They'd heard tales of Flora's racing prowess but had never seen it firsthand. Racing seemed perilous to them, demanding utmost caution.
Flora nodded, acknowledging their concern, and strode towards the track. Every eye in the place was on her, filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and hope, though most were just waiting for her to slip up. en
Few thought she stood a chance.
Joe, seated in the stands, perked up at the sound of Flora's name. He scanned the track, and as soon as he spotted her, he leapt to his feet, his chair scraping the floor noisily.

It was really her!
"Are you alright, sir?" his assistant asked, startled by his reaction.
Joe took a deep breath. "I'm fine,” he replied, sitting back down. But his eyes still shone with excitement. Who would've thought he'd get to witness her in action again i his lifetime? en
