NovelEnglishChapter 448 What A Drama Queen As soon as Lucas made his entrance, Amber finally mustered a satisfied smile. Marion was nowhere to be seen, probably having chickened out from facing reality.
That was okay, though. Amber would shove that reality right in her face! Amber glanced at Lucas sitting in the VIP seat, raising her eyebrows involuntarily. On the big screen, JJ, in a red and black racing suit, was holding a helmet in her left hand and wearing her usual purple floral mask. The face hidden for a decade would be unveiled today! After the opening ceremony, all the contestants went offstage to prepare.
The jet ski race was divided into male and female categories, with twelve women split into two groups for the morning competition. Due to the larger number of male participants, their race was scheduled for the afternoon.
The weather in Lester City today was exceptionally good, and with it being the weekend, the venue was packed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe camera on the big screen turned to the calm sea, its surface shimmering like crystal. Then, it cut to the crowd, which was buzzing with excitement.
Preston noticed a familiar face in the audience and could not help but nudge Lucas beside him. “Isn’t that Cassie? Your wife's bestie?” Preston spoke and instinctively scanned the audience, and sure enough, he quickly spotted Cassie. This was getting interesting! “Is Marion here, too?” He asked.
Lucas glanced at him but did not say anything. If it were not for his curiosity about who JJ really was and what they looked like, he would have left by now! Preston found Lucas quite boring. He e was itching to find Cassie.
Meanwhile, Cassie spotted Preston and naturally noticed Lucas, too. Her hand holding the mini flag froze mid- wave. “Oh my gosh! This just got real!” She exclaimed.
Nina, standing nearby, puzzled, asked, “What's going on, Cass?” Cassie gestured toward the VIP area. “Do you see that handsguy in the white shirt over there?” Not too far away, Nina strained her eyes to get a clear look at Lucas’s face. At first, she did not recognize him.
“Wow! He's really handsome! Are you interested?” Hearing her question, Cassie shivered, “Me? No way! Take a closer look at who that man really is.
Squinting, Nina found his face increasingly familiar. After a couple of seconds, it clicked, ” “Isn't that JJ's husband?” Worried that others might overhear, Nina instinctively lowered her voice as she spoke.
Cassie snorted. “Yeah! Isn't it thrilling?” Nina had just found out that Marion had joined the race without informing her husband and that Lucas had no idea )) was Marion. Now, seeing Lucas in the audience and thinking about the moment JJ would unmask after the race...
It was about to get exciting! While they chatted, the contestants were already riding their jet skis out to sea.
After settling into her position, Marion subconsciously glanced around. However, she was too far away to see anything clearly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas probably had not come, right? She did not know why, but she both wanted him to be there and also hoped he had not.
Ugh, she really was a bundle of contradictions.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the race will begin in five minutes.” Lost in thought, the referee had already begun reminding them that the race would start soon.
Marion snapped out of her reverie and focused on the flag in the referee’s hand.
Five minutes later, with the sound of the gun and the waving of the flag, the calm sea erupted into waves as one jet ski after another leaped into action.
Cassie and Nina stopped gossiping and focused intently on Marion on the big screen.
