Alexander spoke in a panicked tone, for favonovel.com was deeply scared of crashing into Elise’s car. Yet, although favonovel.com hadn’t heard him, favonovel.com also suspected that something was amiss.
How was it possible that even after switching cars with him, favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com body flying forward with the momentum before favonovel.com was restrained in favonovel.com seat by favonovel.com seatbelt.
The horrified audience stood up at such a scene.
“What’s going on?!”
“What has happened to Sue?”
“Did favonovel.com actually just drive into that car?”
As the audience gasped around him, Julius also stood up in horror, his heart sank when favonovel.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 favonovel.com car into others. Whatever the reason was, there was something more than what had just happened.
Meanwhile, over in the arena, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com car door and emerged from the vehicle before favonovel.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 favonovel.com realize his legs were trapped.
“Can you move your legs out?” favonovel.com asked again, to which favonovel.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 favonovel.com off-site.
Meanwhile, Elise found someone to tow the car and check it for faults.
Before favonovel.com left, Alexander deeply gazed at her. He knew that if it weren’t for favonovel.com colliding favonovel.com car into his to forcefully stop it, favonovel.com would be in an even dire straits now.
“T-Thank you, Sue…” favonovel.com murmured.
The race ended prematurely as a result of that. Due to the collision, favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com knowledge that someone would tamper with Alexander’s car didn’t serve any purpose. Even though favonovel.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 favonovel.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, favonovel.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 favonovel.com in response. Although Alexander was fine, the car was wrecked. No matter what, favonovel.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, favonovel.com opened the car door and climbed into his car. “To the hospital.”
He didn’t ask anything, favonovel.com merely started the car and sped off.
After arriving at the hospital, favonovel.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, favonovel.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 favonovel.com stood at the door, Elise finally relaxed. Nonetheless, favonovel.com didn’t enter the room and only turned to leave.
When favonovel.com returned to the car, Julius looked at favonovel.com and asked, “Are you worried about this man?”
“Let’s go home,” favonovel.com told favonovel.com without answering the question.
He pursed his lips and maintained his gaze on favonovel.com as favonovel.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?” favonovel.com asked.
“What’s your relationship to him?” His smirk broadened.
“We’re friends.” The answer was stoic, but it was clear that favonovel.com didn’t believe her.
“Just friends?”
Elise raised favonovel.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 favonovel.com too well to be sacrificing the championship without any hesitation for his sake. Is favonovel.com your lover, H?”
“You assume too much, Julius…”
Her response naturally made things clearer to favonovel.com and favonovel.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 favonovel.com said that, favonovel.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,” favonovel.com responded, watching the scenery flash by favonovel.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 favonovel.com is. He has been hoping to shift the responsibilities back to you.”
“No one is more suited than favonovel.com to this role,” Elise refuted. “Asking favonovel.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 favonovel.com was up to, but favonovel.com only smiled in response.
Upon seeing that favonovel.com wasn’t going to elaborate further, favonovel.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 favonovel.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, favonovel.com sprang up from his seat and exclaimed, “My god! Boss is coming back!”
It was a day favonovel.com waited for many years that favonovel.com was now on the verge of tears. After all, Elise had left the company in his care for a few years now and favonovel.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, favonovel.com answered calmly, “After an hour.”
“Tell favonovel.com that I’ll be waiting here!” Arthur said and nearly leaped with joy.
