Chapter 32

Diana’s pov

The shirt in my arms still retained Nathan’s heat, even his scent!

My brain was in a mess.

The shirt in my arms still retained Nathan’s heat, even his scent!

My brain was in a mess.

I didn’t understand what Nathan was doing!

Just as I was in a daze, Nathan had already put on his suit again.

Due to his excessively excellent physique, his half exposed chest not only did not. make his outfit strange, but also added a sense of wild beauty.

Seeing me staring at him, Nathan suddenly lowered his head and approached me. “How long will you continue to look at me like this?”

I felt myself blushing through the heat on my face and retreated.

“Don’t flatter yourself.” I turned my head and didn’t look into his eyes. “I was just thinking you wouldn’t be so kind. After all, I just slapped your beloved Avia.”

Sure enough, when it came to Avia, Nathan’s face suddenly cooled down.

“Avia is still ill. She can’t control her behavior.”

I was stunned for a moment and then looked at Nathan, “So you know what Avia did just now was her acting?”

Nathan didn’t answer, but his expression already explained everything.

‘So why do you spoil her like this? Do you just like her so much? So much so that you can’t tell right from wrong?”

“I have said it. Avia is still sick. Everything she’s doing now isn’t her original intention! Besides, my relationship with her is not what you think. I-”

“Shut up!”

I interrupted Nathan irritably.

Every time he talked about Avia’s non–existent illness, I was so irritated. I cured her myself, and ran all the tests on her, the results were perfectly good.

“You can always trust your Avia, but one day you will know how foolish you are

now.

Nathan remained silent.

After a moment, he moved his gaze from my face and said in a hoarse voice, “You go

change your clothes quickly. Aren’t you in a hurry to the race?”

I gave Nathan a fierce look and went back to the car..

After changing my clothes, I got out of the car and found that Nathan had not left yet.

He leaned half against the car and looked at me directly.

I didn’t know if it was my illusion, his mood seemed to be much better than before.

“Not bad.” He raised his eyebrows, “It looks much better than that plastic bag.”

I glanced at him and cursed ‘childish‘ in my heart.

Just at this moment, Victor came over after making a phone call.

“Diana, have you changed your clothes yet? We-”

Victor’s voice suddenly stopped when he saw the shirt on me, his eyes a bit confused, “Is this my shirt?”

“Of course not. It is mine,” Nathan said behind me.

He walked up to Victor, his eyes showing a hint of pride in addition to mockery. “As for your clothes…” Nathan spread out the rags in his palm and apologized without any guilt. “Sorry, I tore them apart.”

Victor’s expression suddenly changed.

1 quickly grabbed Victor’s hand and said,

The race is about to begin. Let’s go. Don’t forget, I said I will win that sapphire brooch as your birthday gift.”

As soon as my voice fell, Nathan’s raised corner of his mouth pressed down.

But I pretended not to see it and pulled Victor’s wrist to leave the parking lot.

When Victor and I arrived at the competition site, the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people.

The entire path was brightly lit, as bright as day.

Amid cheers, I got into the sports car.

Almost the next second, my heart beat violently twice, and an indescribable sense of unease rose from my body.

Bang!

The deafening sound of gunfire instantly awoke me.

I didn’t have time to contemplate where that unease came from. I stepped on the accelerator and, amidst the roar of the motor, drove along with the other nine sports

cars on the winding mountain road.

My car was in the backward position, but I was not in a hurry.

I smoothly controlled the steering wheel, taking advantage of the terrain to easily surpass one sports car after another.

Quickly, I was in the second place.

The racer who ranked first was the first to depart.

I assessed the terrain ahead and planned to overtake on the next bend.

However, the sports car running in front of me suddenly began to change lanes and drove in an “S–shaped” way.

He didn’t even care about winning or losing, he only focused on blocking my path.

At the same time, several sports cars that had already been left behind by me caught up and began intentionally pushing me towards the edge of the cliff.

It turned out that the unease was not my illusion.

These racing drivers were obviously bribed and wanted to kill me during the race.<

Once again, passing by the cliff, I was in a cold sweat!

If I continued like this, I was afraid I would even fall under the cliff with my car.

After a brief hesitation, I simply stepped on the gas pedal and ran straight into the rear of the sports car in front of me.

Although there might be some danger, it was better than falling off a cliff.

The front car instantly deviated from the track and collided head–on with the

mountain.

And my car also ejected its airbag under the strong impact!

The other racing drivers braked urgently.

The race was forced to terminate.

Everyone was stunned.

The organizer quickly sent people to check.

In a moment, the ambulance picked up the racing driver who had hit the mountain.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

The audience were clamoring for refunds, and several irritable people even rushed up to fight with the security guards.

I took a breath in the car and as more and more people gathered outside, I got off.

With just one glance, I saw Avia standing next to Nathan.

She was obviously surprised, as if I shouldn’t have appeared here.

I instantly understood everything.

It seemed that this was Avia’s plan again.

She not only wanted to defame me, but also wanted me to die in the race.

I stared at Avia, her cold eyes trembling with fear.

She didn’t even dare to look up into my eyes and could only try to hide herself behind Nathan.

Strangely, Nathan, who had always regarded her as a treasure, did not notice her panicked behavior.

At this moment, Nathan was staring at me, his expression solemn.

It was like… He was worried about me.

I saw him take a step in the direction where I was.

But immediately, my vision was blocked.

Victor rushed up to me and hugged me in his arms.

“Diana! Are you okay? Blessed by the moon, you’re still alive.”

His voice trembled with fear, and his face was pale.

It seemed that the person who had just had an accident was not me, but him.

“I’m fine.” I patted Victor’s shoulder to calm him down, but he still hugged me tightly.

A warm current surged through my heart.

L

“If you continue

but by being strangled by you!” I joked, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Victor immediately let me go, his eyes a bit red.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” he frowned. “Are you sure you’re okay? Move and legs. There may be some injure you don’t notice.”

I could only turn around a few times and bounced around, “Are you relieved now? There was an airbag. I was fine.”

Victor finally calmed down and went to check my car.

As my gaze widened, I saw Nathan and Avia on his side.

After the panic, Avia’s face reappeared with familiar malice, as if regretting why I hadn’t died.

“The front lip of your to be replaced,” Victor said as he walked up to me and saw me staring at something. “What are you looking at?”

“It’s nothing.” I squinted my eyes, “I just suddenly realized that I seemed to be too kind to Avia.”

Victor was taken aback and said, “Are you saying she caused this accident?”

“You can send someone to investigate. With evidence, we can better confront her.” Victor nodded and said, “I’ll take you home first.”

“Wait a moment.” I rejected Victor’s proposal, “I said I want to help you get that sapphire brooch.”

“Why are you talking about that brooch?” Victor sighed. “The race can’t even continue.”

“I didn’t say I want to get that brooch through the race. If I can’t compete, I’ll buy it. The organizers must have lost a lot of money. If I offer to spend 50 million to get that brooch, they won’t refuse.”

“But…”

Victor wanted to say something else, but I had already walked up to the organizer with a worried expression on his face.

When I proposed to buy that brooch, his eyes were instantly lit up.

“Alright! Alright! I’ll take you to get that brooch, I-

“Wait a minute,” a cold voice interrupted the organizer.

I saw Nathan walking towards us.

Avia and Claud followed behind him.

“How can you resell the prize without a clear winner in the race?” Nathan smiled.

The organizer looked embarrassed, “But the contestants can’t continue to race. If we sell that brooch, we can still reduce some losses.”

“I can help you bear your losses, but I want this game to continue,” Nathan’s voice was unquestionable.

“Sorry what?” The organizer looked puzzled and stood in the same spot

dumbfounded.

Nathan turned his head to look at me and curled his lips. “What about this? Miss Reist, are you interested in racing with me? Whoever wins will get that brooch.”
