The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 54 1

Charlie's 520 had a mere 184-horsepower engine while his 540 had 340 horsepower. His car should be much faster and powerful than Charlie's! How could he overtake him so easily?! 3 Similarly, the people watching the race were dumbfounded!

No one would have thought that Charlie, whom they assumed was bound to lose, would overtake Clinton in a swift motion like an arrow released from the bow! In fact, Charlie's car sped off and left Clinton far behind instantly! 3

Clinton wasn't even halfway through the race and Charlie had already turned around at the intersection at the end of the road! i

When Clinton reached the intersection, Charlie had already driven the car back to the starting line! 1

Charlie had won! 1

A landslide victory at that!

After turning around at the intersection, Clinton saw Charlie already at the finish line and he almost fainted!

What was going on!

What the h*ck was going on!

Since when could the BMW 520 surpass the 540 so much? 2

No, it couldn't be! That b*stard must have modified his car!

D*mn it! How dare he use a modified car to screw him over? D*mn it!

When he finally drove the car back in front of everyone, gritting his teeth in agitation, Charlie was standing with Claire, clapping and celebrating his victory. 1

Everyone was extremely shocked. No one could figure out why Charlie's 520 was so fast!

Clinton stopped the car. He barged out angrily and roared, "D*mn it, Charlie! You modified your car, didn't you! That's why your car is so powerful! You screwed me over with your modified car! It's not fair, this round is void!" 2

Charlie curled his lips into a smirk and said, "Dude, you said it yourself that skills and courage are more important than the car's specs, did you forget that? Now that you've lost, you want to go back on your words?"

"No, I don't!" A hint of panic flashed across Clinton's expression as he tried to come out with a lame excuse. "You cheated, it's not fair!" 2

Loreen looked at him contemptuously and said," Clinton, you're breaking your promise, you disgusting dude! Don't forget what you said earlier-whoever goes back on his bet would have his whole family die!" "That's right!" The people who were anticipating to see Charlie being humiliated mumbled in the background, irked by Clinton's reneging. They could see that Clinton was a sore loser that dared not honor the bet that he started! 1

Someone started, "Clinton, you're such a coward, man! Everyone here is a witness that you wanted to do this racing and betting thing with Charlie. You even said that the car's engine has nothing to do with it, whoever breaks his promise, his whole family will die, blah, blah, blah. Now, you want to break the promise, are you saying that you won't honor your bet even if your family's life is at stake?" 2

"Yeah!" A girl said, "Clinton, we've always thought that you're very manly and responsible, I didn't know that you're actually a coward who goes back on your words!"

Someone added, "Well, I finally see what kind of person he actually is! He is nothing but a doublestandard dog! If Charlie loses, he certainly wouldn't let Charlie off the hook so easily! Now that he's lost, he's starting all this nonsense. Coward!"

Clinton's face turned into an ugly shade of green and red. 1

To be frank, he had just bought this car for less than a month and he had spent more than seven hundred thousand dollars on it! If he really ignited the 3-meter

fireworks inside the car, the car would be doomed! 2

It was his precious darling! On usual days, he wouldn't even allow any small scratches or dust to appear in any corner of his car, so why would he be willing to throw fireworks into it? However, from the looks of it, his friends obviously despised him for his shameless and dishonest act. These people would keep themselves away from him if he continued on. 2

In fact, they might even spread the malicious comments around about how he had gone back on his own words and would never honor his bet after making such a horrible swear. 2 His heart was shaken by the consequences as his thoughts ran wild.

If he didn't ignite the fireworks, his reputation would be ruined! 1

Suddenly, Charlie spoke, "Clinton, we're all friends. Some jokes are not meant to be taken seriously. Your car is quite expensive, so if you don't want to do it, then let's just forget it." 3 Clinton heaved a sigh of relief instantly.

However, the surrounding people started to murmur," Wow, Charlie is such a gentleman! Clinton is such a jerk, don't you think?"

"Yes! Charlie is giving in simply because Clinton is a sore loser!" 1

These vicious comments made Clinton's blood boil. He growled angrily, "Who says I'm a sore loser? Where are the fireworks, give it to me! I'll honor my bet right in front of you all!" 2 A flash of a coy smile appeared from the corner of Charlie's lips...
