My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 239

In a general race, I can at least win some money. Mr. Lowe, are you not going to show me your sincerity?”“Sincerity, you say?” Ashton went on disdainfully, “If you win, I’ll pay you 150,000.”He wasn’t going to offer more because he knew he would lose to her.Amelie curled her lips mockingly when she heard that. Such a sum was not even worth considering.“Instead of money, Mr. Lowe, why don’t you offer the woman you like to carry my shoes for two days if I win?”That rendered Ashton speechless.Elyse, too, was stumped for words. In fact, she was furious. Is Amelie hinting that I am only worthy to carry her shoes? Oh, how I wish to slap her right now!Her body trembled with rage and she glared at Amelie.At this point, Amelie cast a casual glance in Elyse’s direction and curled her lips profoundly.She knows I am here! Elyse gasped as she finally realized Amelie had known she was in this place all along. She has been playing with me since earlier!After smiling in Elyse’s direction, Amelie turned her head back and said, “I’m just kidding, Mr. Lowe. Don’t take it to heart. What I want are the few scholars you have. If you lose, please turn them over to me.”Amelie had no idea how, but Elyse had learned that Amelie was establishing a learning platform. Following that, Elyse had asked Ashton to forbid a few scholars from working with Amelie, particularly those from economic and business backgrounds at reputable universities with whom Amelie had wanted to collaborate.Faced with such a term, Ashton was in a dilemma again. Elyse intended to prevent the scholars from working with Amelie. If he agreed to Amelie’s terms on his own now…“Mr. Lowe, if you don’t agree with my terms, I will not race with you even if it means giving up my car,” Amelie added.As such, Ashton had no choice but to nod and say, “Deal!”Elyse had requested for him to have another race with Amelie at all costs. Therefore, he had to see it through, no matter what it took.With this, the terms of the race were settled.Ashton then stood in front of the car and made a phone call. Not long after, the sound of equipment rubbing against the quiet racetrack echoed. Black pilings appeared on the originally flat racetrack.They were arranged irregularly and because the surrounding area was dark, the pilings were difficult to see.In no time, the entire racetrack was filled with countless pilings.Amelie immediately understood what Ashton meant. With her lips curved, she said, “Do you mean for me to avoid all these pilings, Mr. Lowe? There are a lot of them and visibility is poor at night. We might have an accident.”“This is only the basic setup. The pilings will change after each lap. Since you’ve already set your terms, shouldn’t you accept my challenge as well?” Ashton said unnaturally. “Oh, and you have to finish the race within the same time you did earlier, or you’ll be considered to have lost.”“Well, it appears that you really want me to get into an accident,” Amelie murmured as she blinked. Despite saying so, she agreed to it.Then, she drove her car to the racetrack and blindfolded herself once again.Chris came nearer and muttered in a worried tone, “This… Amelie, I don’t think you should join this.”The racetrack was already dangerous enough on its own, let alone with Amelie being blindfolded.Though he did not know why Amelie wanted to blindfold herself, he felt that she wasn’t doing it just to show off her skills.“Do you want me to dissuade Mr. Lowe?”In light of the increased difficulty, it was impossible for Amelie to finish the race within the same time as earlier.“It’s okay,” she responded nonchalantly. “Even though this is my first time racing in this manner, it
