Alexander spoke in a panicked tone, for snazzynovel.com was deeply scared of crashing into Elise’s car. Yet, although snazzynovel.com hadn’t heard him, snazzynovel.com also suspected that something was amiss.
How was it possible that even after switching cars with him, snazzynovel.com car was alright but his was malfunctioning?
Meanwhile, the audience around them was also shocked by the scene. All held their breaths as they stared into the arena. However, Elise couldn’t care less at this moment.
She tightened snazzynovel.com fingers around the steering wheel almost in the same second and made a hard turn to directly crash into Alexander’s car. The two cars collided with a loud bang, the impact sent snazzynovel.com body flying forward with the momentum before snazzynovel.com was restrained in snazzynovel.com seat by snazzynovel.com seatbelt.
The horrified audience stood up at such a scene.
“What’s going on?!”
“What has happened to Sue?”
“Did snazzynovel.com actually just drive into that car?”
As the audience gasped around him, Julius also stood up in horror, his heart sank when snazzynovel.com caught sight of the mangled cars on the racetrack. The thing was that Elise was neither an impulsive person nor one who would simply run snazzynovel.com car into others. Whatever the reason was, there was something more than what had just happened.
Meanwhile, over in the arena, snazzynovel.com opened snazzynovel.com car door and emerged from the vehicle before snazzynovel.com yanked open Alexander’s door. “Are you okay?”
Due to the impact from the collision, it took a dazed Alexander a moment to lift his gaze to meet hers.
“I’m okay…” It was only after saying that did snazzynovel.com realize his legs were trapped.
“Can you move your legs out?” snazzynovel.com asked again, to which snazzynovel.com shook his head.
“No…”
The sudden turn of events had left the racetrack employees a little bit at a loss, but fortunately for them, there was already a medical personnel on-site who quickly dashed forward to pull an injured Alexander out of the car.
“He has severe leg injuries and needs to go to the hospital at once,” the doctor ordered before arranging for his nurse to wheel snazzynovel.com off-site.
Meanwhile, Elise found someone to tow the car and check it for faults.
Before snazzynovel.com left, Alexander deeply gazed at her. He knew that if it weren’t for snazzynovel.com colliding snazzynovel.com car into his to forcefully stop it, snazzynovel.com would be in an even dire straits now.
“T-Thank you, Sue…” snazzynovel.com murmured.
The race ended prematurely as a result of that. Due to the collision, snazzynovel.com lost the opportunity to win the championship and was instantly eliminated with the championship going to someone else.
“What happened to the car?” Elise asked.
As snazzynovel.com lowered his eyes, the car mechanic answered, “The brakes were cut…”
It was a disgrace to the organizers that such a problem arose during a competition. There were many media outlets on the scene as well, which made it impossible for the organizers to prevent them from reporting about the news.
Meanwhile, Elise was incensed to learn that snazzynovel.com knowledge that someone would tamper with Alexander’s car didn’t serve any purpose. Even though snazzynovel.com had switched vehicles with him, it wasn’t enough to prevent the accident.
“Our apologies, Sue. It was our fault for overlooking something so major,” a staff member sincerely apologized. They dared not offend snazzynovel.com without a doubt.
“We never thought someone could be so bold as to tamper with a contestant’s car and cause such inconvenience to you. We are deeply sorry.”
As Elise’s gaze darkened, snazzynovel.com sniped, “If there was any use in apologizing, we wouldn’t be needing the police. I’m going to need you to account for what has actually happened here.”
While wiping the sweat off his forehead, the man answered quickly, “Of course, of course. Don’t worry, we will investigate this incident thoroughly.”
She ignored snazzynovel.com in response. Although Alexander was fine, the car was wrecked. No matter what, snazzynovel.com had to find out who the real culprit was or his life would be in danger.
Elise strode away and left the arena to head toward the exit where Julius was already waiting for her. Without any hesitation, snazzynovel.com opened the car door and climbed into his car. “To the hospital.”
He didn’t ask anything, snazzynovel.com merely started the car and sped off.
After arriving at the hospital, snazzynovel.com learned that Alexander had only experienced superficial injuries and that there were no severe wounds.
“You’re lucky to have only suffered contusions. If the crash had been more severe, it would have threatened your life instead,” the doctor explained.
Then, snazzynovel.com advised, “Racing is dangerous. It would be for the best not to treat your life so cavalierly and to avoid participating in such dangerous events instead.”
Upon hearing the doctor’s words as snazzynovel.com stood at the door, Elise finally relaxed. Nonetheless, snazzynovel.com didn’t enter the room and only turned to leave.
When snazzynovel.com returned to the car, Julius looked at snazzynovel.com and asked, “Are you worried about this man?”
“Let’s go home,” snazzynovel.com told snazzynovel.com without answering the question.
He pursed his lips and maintained his gaze on snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com probed, “What’s the matter? You’ve never been one to beat around the bush, H. Why are you avoiding my question now?”
“What do you want to know?” snazzynovel.com asked.
“What’s your relationship to him?” His smirk broadened.
“We’re friends.” The answer was stoic, but it was clear that snazzynovel.com didn’t believe her.
“Just friends?”
Elise raised snazzynovel.com eyes and stared straight at him. “What kind of relationship do you think we have?”
Julius slowly pointed out, “If you’re just friends, you’re surely treating snazzynovel.com too well to be sacrificing the championship without any hesitation for his sake. Is snazzynovel.com your lover, H?”
“You assume too much, Julius…”
Her response naturally made things clearer to snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com couldn’t see any amusement to be gained from pursuing the matter any further. “Alright, keep your secrets. You don’t have to say anything for me to figure it out.”
As snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com started the engines and began to drive off to the hospital. “When will you return to Athesea?”
“In a couple of days after I have visited Sutherland,” snazzynovel.com responded, watching the scenery flash by snazzynovel.com window.
The news pleasantly surprised Julius. “You’re finally going there? You might have not known this, but he’s constantly complaining about how much he’s taking on and how tired snazzynovel.com is. He has been hoping to shift the responsibilities back to you.”
“No one is more suited than snazzynovel.com to this role,” Elise refuted. “Asking snazzynovel.com to manage the entire company was the best choice.”
“Let me say, H, this is a business empire that you created with your bare hands. Don’t you worry at all?” He didn’t understand what snazzynovel.com was up to, but snazzynovel.com only smiled in response.
Upon seeing that snazzynovel.com wasn’t going to elaborate further, snazzynovel.com texted Arthur Sutherland.
***
Right at this moment, inside Rise, the most prestigious office building in the prosperous district in Tissote, Arthur had only just ended a meeting and snazzynovel.com was rubbing his temples while remaining seated in his chair. He was about to relax for a bit when his cell phone chimed.
Upon reading its contents, snazzynovel.com sprang up from his seat and exclaimed, “My god! Boss is coming back!”
It was a day snazzynovel.com waited for many years that snazzynovel.com was now on the verge of tears. After all, Elise had left the company in his care for a few years now and snazzynovel.com finally could catch a breath.
Arthur immediately rang Julius and asked, “When will Boss be here?”
As Julius glanced at Elise in the passenger seat, snazzynovel.com answered calmly, “After an hour.”
“Tell snazzynovel.com that I’ll be waiting here!” Arthur said and nearly leaped with joy.
