Chapter 127 Joining Them For Some Fun

Following her pointed finger, Andy spotted a man dressed in a blue jacket and sporting a pair of diamond earrings. The latter’s eyes and brows exuded an undeniable air of pride.

Feeling skeptical, Andy clarified, “Are you sure about choosing him?”

Madelyn nodded. “Yes, he is the one.”

Following that, Madelyn went straight up to Josiah, grinning as she explained the situation to him.

“You want me to join you in the race?” Josiah asked, somewhat taken aback.

He was clearly just bored and came over to have some fun, not expecting that he would be chosen.

In the end, Madelyn nodded as if it were only natural. “That’s right.”

Josiah smacked his lips. “Fine. I was bored anyway.”

Adding to his inherent rebellious nature and love for thrill, he’d rather hang out there than be at home, where he was constantly nagged by his father to join the military.

“However, it wouldn’t look good on me if I were to readily agree.”

With that, Josiah arrogantly lifted his chin, curling his lips into a smirk. “What do you take me for? Let me tell you, hiring me is quite expensive. Can you afford it?”

Upon hearing the words, Madelyn chuckled to herself. Just as I expected. Given his rebellious nature, he certainly wouldn’t agree right away.

Nevertheless, she had a way to get him onboard.

Sure enough, Madelyn smiled generously and said, “If we win, you can have the million. I won’t take a dime. How does that sound?”

“What?”

Upon hearing these words, Josiah’s eyes lit up. This is too good to be true!

Unable to suppress his skepticism, he asked, “Really?”

Madelyn replied with a laugh, “Of course.”

“Fine, it’s settled then! You’d better not break your word,” Josiah agreed instantly, beaming proudly.

Observing his expression, Madelyn inexplicably felt a surge of confidence. Even though the race hadn’t started yet, she could already feel that victory was within her grasp.

Meanwhile, Christopher was watching the two, his complexion unknowingly turning ashen.

Madelyn obviously saw it, but she sniggered to herself, pretending as if she hadn’t.

“Affirmative!” The two individuals by his side nodded, stepping forward.

Both sides then found themselves in a stare down.

At that moment, an onlooker who was enjoying the spectacle couldn’t help but chuckle. “This girl is done for.”

“The pair that Andy sent out are his ace drivers. Rumors has it that they haven’t lost a single race up until now.”

“Tsk–tsk, it seems like she really has no choice but to cough up five million soon.”

In an instant, a flurry of discussions erupted around them.

Upon hearing this, both Madelyn and Josiah were unfazed. No matter who their opponents were, they were certain of their victory.

Meanwhile, Andy was quite pleased with himself. What do these two kids know about driving? They might as well just hand over the five million!

Following that, Andy announced, “Alright, you two can choose your car now. Any car here is available. Just pick whichever you fancy.”

Madelyn, however, flatly refused, “No, in the interest of fairness, we won’t use your car.”

If they had tampered with the car, wouldn’t defeat be inevitable?

After she finished speaking, she turned to Josiah and asked, “Did you bring your car? Let’s use yours.”

“How did you know I have a car?” Josiah couldn’t help but express his surprise.

“Isn’t it obvious? Doesn’t everyone who comes here have a car?” Madelyn said with a laugh.

Josiah saw that she had a point, so he nonchalantly nodded, saying, “Okay.”

Following that, he headed toward the driver’s seat of his car.

“Wait!” Madelyn suddenly grabbed hold of him again.

Josiah couldn’t help but furrow his brows, turning to ask, “What else do you want?”

The smiling Madelyn replied, “You take the passenger seat. I’ll drive!”

“What?” Josiah was dumbfounded.

Suddenly feeling as if he had been played, he snapped, “Hey! You little brat, if you don’t want to give me a million, you could’ve just said so. There’s no need for this.”

Madelyn, however, found it amusing. “Do you really think so little of me?”

Nodding, Josiah didn’t bother to hide his feelings. “Yes, I do look down on you. There aren’t many women in the world who can race, and look at you, so delicate and tender. How can you handle the car? If I had known earlier that you’d be driving I would have definitely refused to be your partner!”

When did you become such a busybody, Josiah? Where did all this nonsense come from? You were never this annoying before!

With that thought in mind, she seized the moment when Josiah was distracted, swiftly opened the car door, and pushed him into the passenger seat. With a commanding tone, she ordered, “Just sit tight and trust me.”

“What?”

Upon hearing these words, Josiah almost burst a vessel. What on earth is up with this woman?

Before he could even say a word, he saw Madelyn swiftly move to the other side of the car. She opened the car door and smoothly got in.

At this point, the sky had already turned completely dark.

After getting into the car, Madelyn decisively released the handbrake, shifted into gear, and promptly turned on the low–beam headlights.

Then, with practiced ease, she pressed on the accelerator. The car gradually started moving toward the racetrack.

Meanwhile, Josiah watched the scene unfold with astonishment.

His car was a special piece, personally customized to his taste. Normally, he treasured it so much that he wouldn’t even let anyone touch it.

As it turned out, Madelyn seemed to know it so well, as if the car was her own.

Naturally, Madelyn noticed his astonished expression, which made her burst into laughter.

In her previous life, she often raced everywhere in Josiah’s car. She was familiar with every nook and cranny of it, just as much as Josiah was.

So, sitting in the car then, it felt not only familiar but also incredibly comforting.

In no time at all, the race was about to begin.

Two cars were parked at the starting line, with a model holding two flags, standing in the middle and waiting.

From outside, Andy shouted, “In this race, you’ll be racing to reach the same finish line within the allotted time. The first one past the post wins. Do you understand?”

At this point, Josiah was no longer as skeptical of Madelyn as he had been earlier.

But still, he couldn’t help but warn, “Listen carefully, you d*mn girl, if we lose and I end up losing a million, I swear I’ll kill you!”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn couldn’t help but laugh. Sheesh, even his threats are so endearing.

Following that, she confidently stated, “Okay, just wait to collect your reward.”

Josiah scoffed coldly.

Upon hearing the word ‘get ready‘, Madelyn gripped the steering wheel tighter, her gaze becoming even more resolute.

This time, she had to win.

“Go!”

As the words fell, the flag waved down in front of their car.

The two cars shot off into the night.
