Chapter 145
The more Lloyd watched the video, the more he understood Selina's strategy. He was shocked. If Selina had employed such a dangerous racing technique to defeat him, did it mean she was supremely confident in overtaking others through the five consecutive hairpin turns and winning the championship?
Lloyd meticulously reviewed Selina's run through the five hairpin turns multiple times, playing the video at various slow speeds.
Caleb softly tutted. "I'm still terrified," he said. "Selina's insane! Look, a slightly different angle, and both cars would have overturned—a serious accident. I don't know where she found the courage."
"Exactly," Lloyd murmured. "It was incredibly dangerous. How did she do it perfectly?" When Lloyd's large GTR blocked Selina's car, any normal driver would have slowed down to avoid a collision. But Selina didn't hesitate. Instead, she executed a daring drift through the turns, cleverly using the drainage channel to her advantage.
It was breathtaking. The men watched intently, acknowledging the danger yet marveling at Selina's skill. This video, they agreed, would shock the racing world and spark intense debate.
"Is it luck?" Caleb asked, puzzled.
"And skill," Lloyd replied, surprising Caleb and Manuel. "Though I hate Selina, I have to admit, she's extraordinary. I wouldn't have the confidence to pull that off perfectly. It's a life-risking maneuver. Only immense courage and absolute self-belief could enable such a feat. I don't think Selina was suicidal."
Selina had unexpectedly defeated Lloyd and won the championship. Thinking of her skill, Lloyd found her eerily reminiscent of Flying Shadow.
"Lloyd, seriously? You think Selina is better than…" Caleb trailed off, hesitant to finish his sentence.
"I want to race Selina again," Lloyd said. "To confirm something." Despite the seeming impossibility—the time and location discrepancies—he felt compelled to verify his suspicions about Selina's identity, especially given her extraordinary racing ability. His defeat gnawed at him; he needed to know if it was luck or something more.
News of world champion Lloyd's return to Sokovis for the Ravencrest Mountain race and his defeat by Selina quickly became a sensation. Selina's fans were stunned.
Chapter 143
After showering, Selina donned strawberry-colored pajamas and slippers before rushing to Trevon's study. Without knocking, she burst in. Rubbing her belly, she said sweetly, "Honey, I'm starving! I want a cupcake."
Trevon replied, "Here you go, my indulgent one. I made them especially for you." He gestured to a cupcake on his desk. Selina lifted the lid, inhaling the rich aroma. It was a scent she adored. She grabbed a cheese cupcake and devoured it. As she reached for another, Trevon pulled her into his arms. "Aren't you going to thank your honey for the cupcakes, you greedy cat?"
"Yeah! Honey, you're the best!" Selina said, munching on the cake. She was like a little squirrel, and Trevon couldn't resist kissing her cheek.
Selina didn't object; she was focused on the cupcakes. She quickly finished them all, then leaned contentedly against Trevon, utterly relaxed.
Trevon rested his chin on her head, inhaling the scent of her hair. "Honey," he murmured, "you put on quite a show online today. I didn't know you were such a skilled racer. Looks like I've unlocked a new skill in my superhero wife."
"Honey," Selina said, "you gave me the Bugatti Veyron. How could you not know I'm a good driver?"
