NovelEnglishAs soon as Chase finished speaking, an uncanny silence fell over the room.
Daniel, in particular, looked mortified-his face shifting from pale to flushed, the embarrassment clear in his eyes.
How could he be the fool here? It was Sherman who had misunderstood Rebecca, wasn't it? Who else could that
mysterious racer be if not her?
Rebecca's hand, stirring her coffee, froze mid-motion. Her complexion paled a shade. Chase belonged to Mr.
Christensen, and wasn't Mr. Christensen supposed to like her? What was he getting at now?
Rebecca's grip tightened around her silver spoon.
Daniel shot Chase a glare, trying hard to swallow his anger. "You said Sherman sent you with a video. Then show
us. Let's all take a look at this video!"
He was ready-he wanted to see, for himself, who would dare impersonate Rebecca. The very thought made his
blood boil with indignation.
Hector chimed in, "He's right, Chase. Talk is cheap. If you have proof, let's see it."
Hector had known Daniel for years. Sure, Daniel could be a bit of a flirt, but he wasn't gullible enough to be
tricked so easily. Besides, Hector's impression of Rebecca was positive-she didn't seem like the type to stage a
deception.
At that moment, Rebecca's heart hammered in her chest.
Who would the person in that video be? She had, after all, bribed the driving school—she'd been assured the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsurveillance footage would never see the light of day. They'd even destroyed it in front of her. That was why
she'd been so confident, so certain no one could ever trace the identity of the driver.
Yet now, Mr. Christensen had managed to dig up the video?
Or... could it be that the driver in the footage was actually her? She did remember showing off her driving skills
at the school once, with shelp from the "system." Or—maybe there was no video at all. Maybe Mr.
Christensen was just testing her.
That thought brought a rush of relief. Rebecca lifted her chin and looked at Chase, feigning calm. "Chase, if you
have evidence, I'd like to see it too. Let's find out who's pretending to be me."
Chase nodded, opened his tablet, and tapped a file.
The video was a recording from inside a training car.
First cthe instructor's dismissive voice: "Not going to fail, huh? Fine! Here, take the wheel and show us what
you've got. Dinah, hop out."
The picture cleared. On screen, a young woman in the driver's seat turned slightly toward the instructor. "Are
you ready?" she asked.
Her features were so exquisitely beautiful they seemed almost unreal delicate brows and eyes, snow-pale skin,
lips naturally stained rose, a cool, almost aloof aura that drew the eye.
Hector had always thought Rebecca was striking, but compared to this woman, Rebecca all but faded into the
background.
The video continued.
The instructor glanced at the girl, repeating instructions, "Go ahead. And letsay one more time-that's the
gas, that's the brake. Don't mix them up!"
No sooner had he finished than the car shot forward, tearing down the S-curve like a bullet.
It was just a basic training car, but in her hands, it moved with the grace and power of a professional race car.
Under her control, the car executed a
series of high-level
maneuvers—drifting, side-slipping,
that left the instructor

stunned, mouth agape, all
skepticism dissolving into awe.
Rebecca felt cold sweat prickling down her back.
How was this possible? Where had this video cfrom? She'd made sure it was destroyed-what on earth was
going on?
She forced herself to remain composed, to sit still and not betray her panic. She had to keep it together. Daniel
would back her up.
Hector, a professional racer himself, didn't need long to recognize the truth. The woman in the video was the one
he'd been searching for.
He shot to his feet, excitement in his voice. "That's her! Chase, she's the one I'm looking for!"
Daniel frowned, turning to Chase. "Chase, | know Sherman admires this driver, but he can't just take the credit
that belongs to Ms. Morris give it to someone else!"
As far as Daniel was concerned, the driver in that video had to be Rebecca.
