Chapter 164
Brianna’s eyes were wide and clear.
In that moment, it was as if a fog had lifted.
It was true.
For the past ten years, she had been the only one trying to preserve their childhood bond.
She wasn’t the one without options.
She never needed Brandon to survive.
Why had she spent so much time questioning herself, doubting herself, and tearing herself down for that relationship?
It was never about being unable to live without him.
It was just the obsession born from a decade-long chase.
But p>
It was still an obsession.
Could she really let it go so quickly?
Brianna didn’t know the answer to that herself.
Suddenly, a dramatic “Ta-da!” sound effect, clearly made by a person, broke the silence.
Brian walked over, now changed into a racing suit and holding a futuristic, fluorescent green helmet.
He spread his arms wide and did a full spin in front of Serena and Brianna.
He stopped, blew a stray strand of hair from his forehead, and lifted his chin with smug pride. “Well? Drop-dead gorgeous, right p>
Serena and Brianna were speechless.
Just how much did he love the color green to put a… green helmet… on his head?
That fluorescent racing suit, paired with the helmet, definitely made him… the most eye-catching guy on the track.
But he really had his parents to thank for giving him such a handsome face. Otherwise, there was no way he could pull off such a strange style.
Brianna managed to tear her eyes away from the green helmet and nodded seriously. “Yep, gorgeous p>
Brian’s chin, lifted even higher, and he preened, flicking his hair back with a finger. You know it! Brianna, just you want. I’ll show you an even more handsome side of me on the track in a bit p>
Brianna clapped. “Wow p>
That single “wow” was all the encouragement Brian needed.
He slapped his chest. “Don’t you worry, Brianna. I guarantee I’ll win first place in the race and bring the prize back for you p>
Full of energy, Brian headed straight for the tech inspection area.
All participating vehicles had to be sent to the tech area for a full inspection.
This step was mainly to ensure all the vehicles were safe enough to compete and to prevent any accidents during the race.
Another reason… was to confirm that no one was equipped with any illegal modifications that could affect the outcome.
For a top-tier venue like Apex
Horizon Speedway, which could
attract world-class drivers.frenet
various countries, the regulations were strict.
Of course, a driver of Brian’s level wasn’t competing against those professionals.
The race he was in was the speedway’s first warm-up event of the day.
It was basically a division for the heirs of wealthy families to get a taste of the competitive atmosphere.
Since it was a game for the rich, the prizes for winning the warm-up race were always generous.
No one was stingy.
But of course, the rich kids weren’t
competing for the prize money. They were fighting for the title… the
undisputed racing king of their
Social circle.
A major race was held once a month.
Winning on a top-tier track like this was a year’s worth of bragging rights.
Adrian was also participating in this warm-up race.
And so, Brian and Adrian came face to face in the racing paddock.
