After completing two laps, the gate to the winding road opened, leaving the
spectators in the stands with only aerial shots of the race.

Isabella was drenched in sweat. She was so nervous that the steering wheel
almost slipped out of her grasp, while her legs remained frozen in place.
Carefully adjusting the throttle and brakes with her ankles, she followed Seth,
constantly searching for an opportunity to break free.
However, as soon as she went off the racetrack, she sensed that something
was wrong. Seth seemed to be intentionally holding back from pulling ahead.
He leisurely trailed behind the two cars in front, maintaining his speed
without any intention of overtaking.
Isabella swallowed hard, cautiously peering forward to assess Christopher
and Gordon’s situation.
Initially, Christopher had taken the lead, closely followed by Gordon, who
managed to catch up on the straight and stayed side by side with him.
Neither of them gave way to the other, and their cars had similar

performance, resulting in a deadlock.
Isabella swerved back and forth at the back, but it offered no advantage
apart from compromising her speed.

The race on the flat ground was almost over. One more turn, and they would
reach the road going around the hill.
The first two cars ahead continued to battle it out. They remained side by
side, blocking the road and leaving no room for other cars to pass.
Just as they were approaching the outer turn, either Gordon or Christopher
suddenly veered to the side, crashing into the adjacent car.
Bang!
Startled by the loud noise, Isabella nearly lost control of her steering wheel.
Fortunately, she had been closely following Seth. Steadying her car just in
time, she managed to squeeze through a narrow gap after him.
In the rearview mirror, one car had overturned from the collision, while the

other had come to a stop on its own.

Isabella saw Gordon stepping out of his car, indicating that Christopher’s car
had overturned. She didn’t have time to think. Right now, only Seth was ahead
of her. If she could seize another opportunity, she might win the race.
However, the road going around the hill was narrow, allowing only one car to
pass. Squeezing past Seth would require exceptional skills, and the slightest
mistake could send her car tumbling down the hill.
Not daring to take any risks, Isabella continued to stick closely to Seth, waiting
for the final opportunity to reach the open ground on top of the hill.
Meanwhile, Seth could see her determined expression through the rearview
mirror. His lips curled at the corner, but it wasn’t a smile. The look in his eyes
behind his sunglasses was mysterious. He eased off the gas pedal,
intentionally slowing down.
Isabella noticed this moment from behind. Thinking he had let his guard
down, she seized the opportunity and accelerated, racing ahead.

With a swoosh, the car shot past the grid girl at the finishing line, crashing
straight into the large tree at the center.

Isabella’s eyes widened as she realized what was happening. All the rules of
the road vanished from her mind; all she could do was slam on the brakes.
An ear-piercing screech followed.
The car didn’t come to a stop. Instead, it flipped over instantly.
The airbag deployed, enveloping Isabella completely. She didn’t feel much
pain except for a pricking sensation in her knee. After a disorienting moment,
the world fell silent. There was only a buzzing sound in her ears. Several
seconds later, two voices broke the silence.
“Isabella!” It was Seth’s voice.
“Someone’s injured! Hurry and call an ambulance!” cried a flirtatious voice,
likely belonging to the grid girl.
Isabella let out a sigh. She wanted to say she was fine, but the airbag was

pressing against her face, leaving her with just enough room to barely
breathe. She had absolutely no space to speak.

Another dizzying moment followed. It was probably the car being set upright
again.
The car door was opened, and fresh air rushed in.
Isabella took a deep breath, struggling to get out.
“Don’t move! Do you want to die?!”
Isabella was momentarily speechless. “I’m fine.”
Seth stood in front of the car, having just dealt with an airbag, when he
lowered his head and met her gaze. Isabella seemed perfectly fine apart
from her disheveled hair, although the smile on her face was just as irritating
as before. “Are you out of your mind? Why did you crash into a tree
Isabella had expected him to at least inquire about her physical condition,
but instead, he immediately criticized her emotionally. She closed her eyes,
mustering her patience. “Mr. Shaffer, mistakes happen. Everyone can-”
“Just step back if you can’t handle this. Are you out of your mind, risking your
life for a car?” Seth rested his hand on the car door, his eyes filled with
mockery.
Isabella struggled to get her upper body out of the car, but her legs wouldn’t
move. Any movement caused a pricking pain in her knee. After taking a few
breaths, she managed a faint smile at the man. “Mr. Shaffer, even if I’m out of
my mind, it doesn’t mean you should stand by and do nothing, right?”
Seth retorted, “Didn’t you say you’re fine?”
Isabella was at a loss for words. “My legs hurt.”
Seth’s eyebrows furrowed as he glanced at her motionless legs. “Are they
broken?”
Isabella was left speechless. What a despicable scumbag!
