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 is always fun to try.”Chris became even more concerned when she said such words.Such a trial would be fatal.Ashton, who was on the other side, was already slamming the honks to signal Amelie to get ready.With this, Amelie sat up straight before putting both hands on the steering wheel and her foot on the accelerator.Elyse wants me to die in an accident, I suppose? Well, I’ll let her see with her own eyes whether or not I’ll die!A loud bell was heard over the loudspeaker, signaling the start of the race. Amelie’s car sped away, leaving only Chris behind, his clothes blown about by the wind from the car.Chris had his brows tightly furrowed. He was now kicking himself for organizing the race tonight.It was dangerously dark. Ashton was the young master of the Lowe Family while Amelie was Chris’ highly respected racer. He couldn’t even begin to imagine if any of them had an accident.Truth was, he favored Amelie, especially since she was racing with her eyes blindfolded.When her car’s engine started, he could feel his chest tighten as he clenched his fists, staring at Amelie’s car without blinking.It was the most nerve-racking race he had ever seen in his racing career.“Turn, turn, turn, or you’ll crash on it!” Chris yelled repeatedly. He felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest whenever he saw Amelie’s car about to collide with the pilings.Every time she managed to dodge them, he would exhale a deep breath of relief.Though Amelie performed admirably and avoided all of the piles with agility, the increase in difficulty prevented her from maintaining her speed in the earlier race.That meant she wouldn’t be able to cross the finish line as quickly as she had in the previous round.Realizing this, Chris couldn’t help but sigh.In the blink of an eye, Amelie had completed two laps.He quickly looked at his watch. She is four seconds slower than in the previous round. With her current speed, she would be at least ten seconds slower than earlier by the time she reached the finish line. Even though she is faster than Ashton, she will still lose the bet!Chris heaved a sigh as he thought about this. Suddenly, he heard a booming
