Unless Wesley participated in it and became the champion.
“I see.”
Wesley’s eyes dimmed as he let out a long sigh.
Car races not only required familiarity with the cars but also tested a person’s endurance, physical fitness, and adaptability. He no longer possessed any of these qualities.
He hadn’t touched a car in three or four years, and he was now too weak to stand.
There was no way he could participate in this race.
At the Hill Mansion,
Emily cried in front of Gary, Kyle, and Jagger for a long time.
Gary was heartbroken.
He had always indulged and cherished Emily. Seeing her cry made his heart ache.
So, even though he knew it was because of Emily that the Hill family had lost a lot of money, he couldn’t bring himself to blame her.
“It’s not your fault. Those people are cunning and set a trap for Ben. You and Philip were just implicated.”
Emily cried even harder.
She had spent so much money on the bottle of red ink just to exchange it for The Beauty.
She had thought that in a couple of years, the painting would be worth a fortune, and then she could sell it.
But now, with Ben’s reputation ruined, the painting was worthless!
She had spent millions of dollars on a piece of worthless paper!
“Alright, stop crying. Go wash your face.”
Gary got annoyed and wasn’t in the mood to comfort her.
“Get a good night’s sleep. Just let it go for now.”
Emily didn’t want to listen to her brother’s lecturing, so she nodded and turned to go upstairs.
After she left, Kyle lit a cigarette and sighed.
“Gary, although the company received some funds earlier, we have no more liquid assets now. If we don’t have any funds by the end of the month, I’m afraid the company won’t survive.”
The Hill Group was a large company with over ten thousand employees.
So, they couldn’t declare bankruptcy lightly, but it would be delisted and face various investigations.
They would get into a lot of trouble.
And they still had to pay their employees’ salaries.
Therefore, Kyle didn’t want such a thing to happen.
Gary looked at Jagger.
“Jagger, I heard there’s a car race coming up, and the prize money is 50 million dollars.”
Jagger had come back today to comfort Emily.
Since Emily was now fine, he put his phone away.
“Yes, I have to go back to practicing.”
Gary, with a worried expression, pulled him back.
“Jagger, the Hill family is relying on you. This prize money is crucial for us.”
“I will do my best.”
Jagger was confident, as he had defeated all the participants in this race.
Jagger had been practicing racing for years, hoping to achieve his own glory one day.
In fact, he dreamed of racing abroad because he had heard of a racing legend named Chris.
Chris always wore a helmet during races, so no one knew what she looked like.
Jagger wanted to use his exceptional skills to catch Chris’s attention and ideally become her disciple.
This race was a global event, and many skilled drivers were expected to participate. He was excited about it.
Of course, he hoped that Chris would notice this race as well.
Kyle continued,
“I heard that this race will be broadcast globally. If you win, many car companies will want you as their spokesperson.”
In other words, it would bring funds to the Hill family.
Jagger could also have better opportunities.
“Trust me, Kyle.”
Jagger was confident.
“I want to become Chris’s disciple after this race. I hope you won’t stop me.”
Gary smiled.
“I thought racing was dangerous, and I didn’t want you to take risks with your life.
Since you love it so much, I won’t stop you anymore.
Go pursue your dreams. Kyle and I will take care of the family.”
Jagger was touched.
“Thank you, Gary.”
Gary waved his hand.
“Alright, go get some rest. I hope you outdo yourself this time.”
“Okay.”
Jagger valued this race and knew he needed plenty of rest.
So, he went to bed obediently.
After he left, Gary lit up another cigarette.
He seemed a bit frustrated.
Kyle knew what he was thinking.
“Gary, are you thinking about Sandra?”
Gary nodded honestly.
“If I had suffered for over twenty years, I would feel resentful too.”
Kyle rubbed his forehead.
“Emily has been living a luxurious life as part of the Hill family for over twenty years, but it turns out she’s just a village girl. Don’t you feel sorry for her?”
Gary didn’t argue.
In fact, he was partial to Emily.
In the middle of the night,
Sandra was awakened by rustling sounds.
She got annoyed.
What was happening?
She got up and saw Wesley walking out.
“Hey…”
Before she could finish, Wesley swiftly shut the door.
The room instantly became dark.
Sandra sat on the bed for a while and eventually walked out of the room.
Wesley was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Joey was reporting something to him.
As she got closer, she overheard their conversation.
“Mr. Cooper, you can buy the car back.”
Wesley’s tone was cold.
“No need.”
Joey choked.
“Mr. Cooper, I know you have a special attachment to the car…
But Corolla Mountain Road is known worldwide for its danger.”
Wesley nodded.
“I know.”
Joey tried to persuade him.
“Mr. Cooper, you’re still weak. Racing requires high intensity and endurance. It doesn’t matter if you participate in the race, but all of Mrs. Cooper’s efforts may go to waste.”
He thought about the Cooper Mansion.
“Maybe this whole thing is a trap set by Debra.
She lost face in the technical department because of Mr. Cooper…”
“She needs a win to control you.
She knows how important the car is to you. She’s trying to take your life in a legal way!”
