My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 606

At that point, Carmen was completely devastated.

She recalled the day when Claire had come to her looking exhilarated. The latter had told her excitedly that she was returning to her own country, together with Lucas.

Before that, Franklin and Livia had agreed to Carmen’s request. They would let her try to spend more time around Lucas. The couple had even wanted her to fend off a woman named Ashlyn by making things difficult for the latter.

Carmen recalled her name. Ashlyn… That was the first time I’ve heard her name.

Even though it was the first time Carmen had heard of Ashlyn, it made a deep impression on her. After all, that was a woman Lucas was in love with.

“B-But… I’ve never thought of harming Claire. I didn’t hurt her. It’s true,” retorted Carmen in vain as she tried to twist her way out.

With concrete evidence in front of them, the police could not be bothered to listen to her explanation. Immediately, they hauled her away.

As they walked past Lucas, Carmen struck her arms out aggressively. She grabbed Lucas’ arms as hard as she could. “Help me! I don’t wish to die. I really did not murder anyone!”

“Obviously, the law will be the best judge of whether you’ve committed murder or not,” replied Lucas.

His countenance was icy cold as he shoved Carmen aside. Then he took a step back.

When Carmen heard that, she was instantly crestfallen. It was a world of difference from her smugness before the race.

Not too long back, Carmen held in awe as a goddess in car racing. In the blink of an eye, she found herself in dire consequences.

Lucas lifted his darkened gaze and looked at the horizon. He laid eyes on Ashlyn, who was still standing on the podium.

Although there was only a slight distance between them, Lucas felt like they were miles apart from each other.

It was like they were standing at opposite poles of the earth.

Even though they were so close, their hearts were so far apart.

At that moment, Ashlyn was not looking at Lucas. Her cold, empty gaze resembled lone stars in the night sky.

The live audience felt most jubilant. There were also fans who tuned in to the broadcasting platform. They, too, were ecstatic at the news.

The wicked woman who wronged their God of Cars turned out to be a murderer, after all.

That meant the God of Cars was innocent because she was framed.

When the latter faced countless accusations and insults, the fans remained calm.

Now that her name was cleared, the fans continued to stay cool.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn reacted liked those matters were none of her concern.

It was as if she did not take them to heart.

Ashlyn thought little about it, as she was sure of her own innocence.

Everything that had happened up till then felt too peculiar.

That included the fact that Carmen appeared to be in an unusual mental state. Car racers hardly flew into a rage, as it was a major taboo for them.

However… Carmen seemed hysterical earlier on. No, I should say that her behavior today looks like a result of provocation. It’s as if her mind was out of her control. She flew into a rage with her words and actions too easily. It was clear that she did not consider the consequences of her rashness.

To Ashlyn, Carmen’s reaction looked unbelievable. It was unusual for a car racer who averaged a racing speed of four hundred kilometers per hour to behave that way.

Ashlyn found the case thoroughly weird the more she thought about it. On the surface, it appeared as if there were no major problems. Everything seemed to work out logically.

However, her instincts told her something was off. Even worse, something was very wrong.

When Jared came up next to Ashlyn, he extended his hand to her in invitation. “God of Cars, may I invite you to step down?”

Ashlyn wriggled her lips and gave her hand to Jared. With his support, she hopped off the podium.

Then the runner-up stepped down from the podium along with the second runner-up.

After witnessing the shocking scene earlier, the host finally regained his senses. He suddenly recalled he had to continue hosting the race till the end.

Hence, he continued with the ending speech to conclude the event.

In his entire hosting career, that had come the most incredulous event he had ever hosted.

Not only was there a thrilling car race, but there was also a God of Cars who could race at nine hundred kilometers per hour. Next, a mad female racer created havoc in the race. After the latter’s tirade, it turned out she was the actual murderer instead. Then the police took her away.

T-This… is even more bizarre than the usual soap dramas on television. Indeed, it’s happening right here in real life.

The organizers were sure that would be the most memorable world-classed racing event in history. With all eyes on the event, the race became a hot topic for discussion everywhere.

Amongst other reasons, the God of Cars was simply too perfect.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn and Jared moved forward together. When they passed by Lucas, the latter felt a tight lump in his throat. His darkened eyes glistened brightly with a deep, ravenous gaze.

Nonetheless, the ravishingly beautiful woman did not cast him an eye at all. Instead, she continued walking on.

Lucas gazed at Ashlyn’s tall and slender back view. Then he clutched his helmet tight and pursed his lips.

She… She seems to have really left my life.

As Ashlyn walked further away from Lucas, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity within him. Suddenly, he felt a looming dull pain in his heart that he could hardly resist.
