Chapter 791:
The island was hosting its first-ever mud pit race, where participants would drive into a massive pit of mud and try to navigate their way out. While it sounded straightforward, the reality was much tougher. The slick mud greatly reduced traction, and so far, even experienced drivers had failed to escape the pit.
John was convinced Yelena’s adventurous spirit would make her eager to join. After a brief silence, Austin finally responded, “Alright, I got it.” Suddenly, Austin realized that Yelena might actually find the event exciting. He shared the details with her, and Yelena’s interest was instantly piqued.
“This challenge is so unique; it would be a shame to miss out,” she said with enthusiasm. “Should we give it a try p>
“Let’s do it p>
When they arrived at the event, Austin and Yelena saw that the area was packed with participants, many of whom were covered in mud from earlier attempts.
“Look, Austin’s here with his girlfriend. He must be here to win,” someone remarked loudly.
A bystander whistled toward Yelena and teased, “Hey, beautiful, give Austin a lucky kiss. He might just conquer the pit in one shot.” Austin flared up at the casual comment but couldn’t entirely dismiss the idea.
Still, Austin shot the man a stern look and retorted, “Cut the nonsense p>
“He’s blushing! Looks like he’s smitten with his lady,” another chimed in, laughing.
Yelena, unfazed, responded calmly, “I’m not just here to cheer him on. I’m here to compete p>
The crowd went silent for a moment, some thinking she was joking. At that moment, Bella, Jarvis, and Cayson arrived at the scene. Spotting Yelena, Bella nudged Jarvis and asked, “There’s Yelena. Do you think she’s actually going to race p>

Jarvis glanced at Yelena, a flicker of disdain crossing his face. “That can’t be,” he replied skeptically. “With her upbringing? I doubt she could even drive p>
Cayson’s expression darkened with annoyance as he interjected, “Yelena had no choice over the family she grew up in. Don’t hold it against her. You wouldn’t have
“Done any better in her place?” Stung by Cayson’s rebuke, Jarvis’ face reddened, and he fell silent.
Bella, sensing the tension, discreetly squeezed Jarvis’ hand. The softness of her touch startled Jarvis, and his heart skipped a beat as he glanced down at their joined hands. For a fleeting moment, he wondered if all women’s hands were this soft and delicate.
Before he could say anything, Bella casually withdrew her hand. Bella never allowed prolonged contact. Despite being cousins, their relationship was complicated since Bella was adopted and they weren’t really related by blood.
“Come on,” Bella said with a soft smile.
Jarvis, encouraged by her smile, eagerly followed her.
Meanwhile, Yelena was preparing to drive. From a distance, Cayson watched her closely. His brow furrowed, and a flicker of concern crossed his face.
“Yelena, don’t act impulsively,” Cayson whispered, moving to Yelena’s side.
As he spoke, Cayson cast an unhappy look at Austin, suspecting that Austin had lost his senses for not preventing Yelena from racing. It seemed that Austin’s concern for Yelena might not be as genuine as he portrayed. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he intervene?
