The competition meant everything to them. But Lydia mattered just as much. How could they focus on a tournament when she was missing?
“She fell into the Doyle family’s hands… They’ll definitely Vanessa Vance covered her mouth, sobbing. She didn’t dare finish the thought. Lydia was so timid; being taken by the Doyles would terrify her.
“Call the Captain, call the Captain!” Caleb Sommers’s fingers trembled as he pulled out his phone to dial Serena’s number.
Right then, the roar of a high-performance motorcycle engine tore through the air. The red bike charged straight at them, drifting perfectly before coming to a stop just inches away, startling the three of them.
The girl sitting on the bike wore a black hoodie and dark pants that accentuated her long, stunning legs. She rested one boot on the ground and pulled off her helmet, revealing a breathtakingly radiant face. Her expression remained cool, her dark eyes calm and bottomless.
To the trio, she looked like a lifeline.

It was a casual statement, yet it carried an aura of absolute dominance, as if she
could hold up a collapsing sky.
She was younger than them.
Her frame was slender.
But as she sat there, her unwavering confidence and total control slowly settled the panic in Caleb’s heart.
Caleb took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
Panicking was useless. If they fell apart now, the Doyle family won.
