Edmund walked away, and the girl immediately tried to catch up. But she only took two steps when she suddenly thought of something.

She turned back around to face Bailey. “My name is Lydia Xanthos. 'Lydia' like the fashion model.”

In response, Bailey gave Lydia a friendly smile. Lydia Xanthos... So she's the daughter of the Xanthos family, the most powerful, prestigious family in Northern Epea, huh? No wonder there's an air of nobility about her. If nothing else, she and Edmund certainly do make a good match.

“Mommy...” Suddenly, Bailey heard someone calling out to her. She instinctively turned around and broke into a smile as the children ran toward her.

After picking up her daughter, she looked at her sons. “Where's your father?”

Zayron simply snorted twice to that while Maxton answered, “The person in charge of the racing association offered to buy Daddy coffee.”

“I wonder what made him think it was a good idea to leave you guys behind with so many people around here,” stated Bailey with furrowed eyebrows while sweeping her gaze across the crowd.

Chuckling, Shannon chimed in, “This is Mr. Luther's territory. Who would dare to lay a finger on his children?”

With that, she patted the boys on the head and asked with a smile, “What do you want to eat?”

At that moment, several men in suits approached Bailey and informed courteously, “Ms. Jefferson, we have received a call from Mr. Nicholson, who wants you to replace him in today's competition. We need you to come with us and provide us with your information.”

Nodding in agreement, Bailey then put her daughter down before turning to look at Shannon.

“Go. I'll look after them for you,” said Shannon, smiling and waving at Bailey.

“Thank you.”

Not long after Bailey left, Caridee emerged from the crowd with Simon.

Simon seemed displeased because he thought the competition was vain and that it made fun of him, someone who could not drive. What's the point of organizing such a meaningless event anyway?

“Jerk Uncle, you're here!” cried out Zayron, which led to him being slapped several times by the already annoyed Simon.

Half an hour later, the race officially began.

A total of ten contestants, consisting of males only, took part in the competition.

When they appeared from the backstage one by one, countless women in the crowd screamed in excitement.

The contestants were all well-known racers who had fans from all over the world, which was why their fans accounted for more than half of the crowd.

It was only natural the fans got excited when they saw their favorite racers.

However, when the final racer appeared, the place suddenly fell silent.

“Holy shit! Isn't that Bailey?”

“You're right. That is her!”

“Damn! Somebody, please tell me she's not Dexter's replacement.”

“Ten men are participating in the international competition, and now we only see Bailey among them, not Dexter. What is she if not his replacement?”

“I'm curious to see if that woman can handle a lightning-fast racing car. Let's hope she doesn't get thrown out of the driver's seat like a rag doll.”

“She probably knows a thing or two about racing since she's willing to join the competition. Why don't we sit back and see what she can do?”

Dexter's female fans almost lost their minds the moment they saw Bailey. Dexter is known for his unbeaten streak, so what makes Bailey think she has what it takes to replace him? She'll humiliate Dexter if she loses!

“I refuse to accept this. Bailey has no right to replace Dexter in the competition.”

“Exactly! According to rules set by the racing association, the substitute has to be someone highly respected. Bailey is a novice nobody knows about. She's not qualified to replace Dexter.”

“Bailey's not fit to be Dexter's substitute.”

“She's not fit! She's not fit!”

The fans would rather see Dexter disqualified from the competition than watch helplessly as Baily ruined his squeaky-clean record.

“Please calm down, everyone. We've verified Ms. Jefferson's identity and confirmed that she's qualified to participate in the competition. Otherwise, we wouldn't have agreed to let her replace Dexter,” the person in charge of the event informed with a microphone that sent his voice throughout the venue, clearly defending Bailey's participation.

“Fine. Then tell us why she's qualified.”
