Chapter 449 Well, Then, Keep A Close Eye on JJ’s Performance
This race was a speed competition, with a first prize of five hundred thousand, a second prize of three hundred thousand, and a third prize of one hundred thousand.
Marion’s old rivals were on her left and right and seemed to have conspired in advance. They surged ahead from the start, pushing Marion to the back.
Marion did not win first place so many times just by luck. These little tricks could not stump her. Spotting an opportunity, she seized the chance during a turn and swiftly overtook from the right.
Cassie watched the big screen, unable to contain her excitement. “Go, JJ!”
As the audience stands were quite a distance from the competition venue and the players could not hear them, there usually would not be anyone shouting encouragement to a particular player in the stands.
Cassie’s voice cracked, but she did not mind. Her eyes remained glued to the screen.
However, her earlier shout caught Amber’s attention.
Amber remembered Cassie. Spotting her, Amber could not help but furrow her brows.
If Marion’s best friend was here, where was Marion?
Raising an eyebrow, she stood for a moment, unable to resist. She got up from her seat
and walked towards Cassie.
The competition was heating up when Cassie suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. Thinking it was Nina, she said, “Watch the game, Nina!”
Nina, beside her, was puzzled. “What’s wrong, Cass?”
At this moment, Cassie also realized and turned to her left, finding the person was
Amber.
She almost could not help but roll her eyes at Amber. “Who are you?”
“Miss Greaves, I’m Amber. We met last time. I’m a friend of Prince.”
Cassie snorted. “Who’s Prince? I don’t know him.‘
“Sorry, I forgot you don’t know his nickname. Prince is Lucas. I just saw him in the VIP area and was curious why Miss Cartier didn’t come today.”
“What does it matter to you whether she comes or not?”
Cassie’s attitude was very poor, but Amber did not seem to mind. “I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just…”
She paused. At that moment, the big screen zoomed in on JJ, and Amber pointed at the screen. “This JJ is Lucas’s first love. I thought Miss Cartier would be curious to come and NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
see.”
Cassie rolled her eyes. “Why would she want to obsess over her husband’s ex? Besides, who doesn’t have an ex? It’s not like she doesn’t have one! Do you not have an ex, Miss Collins?”
Amber pursed her lips. “Miss Greaves, you misunderstood. I just came to ask, not to disturb you watching the game.”
“Everyone is seriously watching the game. I suggest Miss Collins also focus on it! You said JJ is Lucas’s first love? Then you should watch JJ’s performance closely and think about why Mr. Craig’s
first love is so outstanding, while
you…
Cassie did not say the last part explicitly, but her meaningful glance toward Amber said it
all.
Amber’s expression changed instantly. She said nothing more, turned around with a cold face, and left.
She could not understand what Marion’s friend had to be proud of!
Glancing at the time, she realized the competition for this group would only end in
another half hour. She regretted coming so early.
Marion not being here made her half as happy.
Meanwhile, Marion had already outmaneuvered those plotting against her.
Thirty minutes later, the first round of the competition ended. Unsurprisingly, JJ secured first place in the group with a time of 56 minutes and 33 seconds.
