Everything happened in a blink of an eye.
Nicole could not react at all to what was happening when Jared pulled away his hand, his voice
sounding like a dream.
“This is payback.”
Nicole glanced at him as if some strings in her heart was being plucked. The person standing before
her slightly raised his lips, and he looked like the prettiest scene ever. Nicole then covered her chest
with a blank look.
‘Who could have withstood that?!
She turned her head around first as she walked to the other side. Her back was straight and if one
were to look closely, it was an imperceptible stiffness to it. Jared looked at her back, the smile on his
lips deepened.
He lazily followed behind her, but his pace was only half-a-step behind.
Looking from behind, their shadows merged together, and that man’s back looked like a protector,
eternally guarding the girl’s peace.

Jared then led Nicole ahead. Soon, she saw a group of people at the foot of the hill, seemingly holding
some kind of event there.
Nicole curiously went into the crowd to have a look, and she saw the sign hanging not too far away,
with a large “Mount Daytonna Race” printed on it.
I
!
Nicole’s eyes lit up as she said to Jared, “Interesting, can I participate?”
Jared raised his eyebrow. “You know how to race?”
Il
He had brought her here just to allow her to relax and did not expect her to take the initiative to
participate.
“Of course.” Nicole smiled. She had always loved racing, however, when she was with Mrs. Wallace
Sr., she did not reveal it for fear of worrying the latter.
Now that she had nothing that she feared before Jared, she really wanted to give it a try. “Go then.”
Jared was not surprised. Nicole was such a person that nothing would surprise him anymore.
She nodded and walked over to the registration booth in the front.
At this moment, a lazy young man was seated there in a daze as he bit onto a leaf.
Seeing Nicole walk over, he did not even blink as there was a tinge of impatience in his voice.
“Shoo, what’s a young lady doing here?”
This was the most dangerous race in the entirety of San Joto. This girl, with how pretty and weak she
was, it was obvious that she was some girl a rich scion had brought over to spectate.
One need to know that those who would come, and race were generally from very wealthy
backgrounds
After all, one may need to change cars and accessories every few months, and that was not something
an average family could afford.
Those guys who had registered all looked over and a pretty girl like Nicole was rare in San Joto as
many began to whistle at her.
Nicole looked at the person at the registration booth with a cold and playful look, looking wild and free
“I want to run the whole course.”
Seeing that the girl was not joking, his entire expression turned sullen. Racing here was equivalent to
gambling on a race, and the odds were even higher than normal. If she were to join the race, everyone
with half a brain will bet on her losing, and by then he, as the banker, will lose everything!
He waved her off impatiently, looking at Nicole as if she was a money-losing prospect.
Nicole’s expression did not change as she pointed at the rule sheet before the young man, and her
eyes squinted a little. “But it’s written there that any person who loves racing can participate, with no
restrictions on age, gender or identity. So why can’t I participate?”
