Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 161:

The majority of the drivers and spectators had gathered around the grandstands at the Silverstone Circuit. When

Norah and Alice arrived, the grandstands were filled to capacity. Despite the fact that it was two in the morning,

the spectators were undeterred, eager to watch the race. Excitement and pride radiated from the race drivers as

they prepared for their turn at the Silverstone Circuit. Spectators eagerly chattered in their designated areas,

debating which driver would cout on top in this thrilling competition.

“I have a feeling it's going to be Chasen in first place. He's been dominating the Silverstone Circuit for the past

two years, and no matter what race it is, he always delivers an impeccable performance!” one spectator

remarked.

“I think Humphrey is pretty good. I've saved a lot of videos of him and Chasen battling it out on the track!”

another spectator replied with a wide grin.

“They're like a team, always appearing together. Look, here comes Chasen!”

The waiting audience cheered loudly as soon as Chasen and Humphrey appeared.

With a bright smile, Alice cheerfully caught Norah up on the racing scene. “It's been a while since you've been to

Otland. The top three at the Silverstone Circuit are basically fixed. Chasen Patterson is always in first place. The

second and third spots are always occupied by Humphrey Brewer and Lucia Nguyen. Lucia is the most talented

female at Lochdeer!”

Alice lifted her hand, gesturing toward the sleek crimson sports car that had just arrived at the circuit. The driver

was a striking blond man.

With a brown-haired man in the passenger seat next to him, Chasen arrived. “Wow, Chasen actually cwith

Humphrey. Are they really close off the track?” Norah raised an eyebrow and said, “They are rivals on the track,

but they can be friends off the track.”

Alice shook her head. “You haven't seen how they compete on the racetrack yet. You'll see it later. Back when

you were dominating the Silverstone Circuit, none of them had any reputation. It was only after you left that

these newcomers had a chance to shine. I'm sure they can’t compare to you.”

“Whether they're good or not will be determined on the racetrack,” Norah replied, her heart pounding with

excitement. The last tshe raced was against Nocturne at the Krusa Mountain Racing. Just thinking about it

pumped a shot of adrenaline through her veins.

“This is my newly upgraded racing car. You don’t have to worry about any performance issues. It's perfect,” Alice

said, giving Norah a friendly pat on the shoulder. “I'm going to place a bet on you with 100 chips to celebrate

your return as Selene! It’s really exciting!”

Alice left happily, her joy evident even from her back. The crimson sports car swiftly swept into the enclosure

and disappeared into the distance.

The race at the Silverstone Circuit was an official event, and Norah noticed on one of the boards that the host of

the race was the Campbell family. The Campbell family was a hereditary aristocracy in Otland, making their

fortune from tourism, real estate, mineral resources, and so on. They were indeed loaded.

Alice returned in a matter of minutes. “I managed to sign you up just before the deadline. | had the car

inspected, and it will be ready soon.”

“Great,” Norah replied lightly.

Alice scanned the grandstands reflexively. She gasped suddenly and exclaimed, “The Campbell family is here.

They are the organizers of tonight's race.”

“Why is the race scheduled for three in the morning?” Norah asked, raising an eyebrow.

Alice shrugged. “I'm not sure either. The race preparations started two weeks ago, and typically, regular drivers

aren't permitted to take part. However, when the person in charge heard you were going to participate, he

agreed to add your nto the list.”

As Alice and Norah chatted, a multimillion-dollar luxury car glided past them. The two men in the luxury car were

immediately drawn to Alice and Norah. They found the beaming Alice and the chuckling Norah to be remarkably

charming.

“Norah, can | sit in the passenger seat with you when you race later? It's been a while since I've raced, and | kind

of miss that feeling,” Alice said with a pleading look.

“No problem,” Norah replied, smiling.

Norah and Alice stood by the track for over twenty minutes, waiting for the race to start. When it was finally time

for the race, Norah turned down the tenth person who tried to strike up a conversation and got into the sports

car with Alice.

Alice's excitement surged as she gripped the fastened seatbelt with both hands. “Oh my! Just being in here

already hasthrilled.”

“Imagine how exhilarating it will be when the race starts!” Alice exclaimed, her excitement palpable.

Just then, a black sports car approached the starting line. Its make and model were quite understated, and many

people criticized it as soon as it arrived.

Norah noticed that, despite its unremarkable appearance, this black sports car was equipped with top-notch

materials, most of which were only available on the black market. Those who didn’t know better merely criticized

its look, oblivious to the finer details. Little did they know, sof the components of this black sports car were

even more expensive than the cars of sof the onlookers!

Alice exclaimed, “Isn't that Chasen? When did he change his car? He always drove a red Ferrari as far as |

remember. Why would he change his car after just a few races? The make and model aren’t great. He won't be

fast today. Norah, you're sure to take first place!”

Alice's voice reached Chasen’s ears as he waited for the signal to start the race. Curious, he turned in the

direction of the voice and saw two exceptionally striking women. Even though Norah and Alice wore simple

outfits, they still exuded undeniable charm.

He had never seen such beautiful women before!

Chasen’s excitement surged as he realized Norah was a racer. His laid-back attitude vanished in an instant, and

he becmuch more energetic. He was pretty sure that if he won the race, he could get one or both of them to

go on a date with him.

Chasen stared at Norah, who was sitting in the driver's seat. His eyes smoldered with desire.

Norah felt his intense gaze and looked over. Chasen was behind the wheel of the black sports car that had just

arrived at the starting line.

Humphrey was sitting in the driver's seat of the crimson sports car that Chasen had driven earlier. Just like

Chasen, he appeared determined to win the race.

“I never expected Chasen and Humphrey to be so close off the track. They even lend each other their race cars!”

Alice remarked, inspecting the car Chasen was driving with disapproval. “On the racetrack, the race car is the

driver's life. Why would Chasen leave his beloved car behind and drive this junky one instead?”

Norah smiled and gently corrected her friend's misguided impression. “Chasen isn’t driving a junky car. The

value of his car may even be higher than your brand-new one.”

Alice's eyes went wide in shock. “Really?”

Alice had spent twenty million dollars on the McLaren luxury car and felt proud and superior every tshe

drove it. She was immune to the arrogance and sense of superiority that often plagued the rich.

Chasen cast an appreciative glance at Norah. “You have a keen eye. Ninety-eight percent of people don’t

recognize the value of my car. Can we get to know each other? I'm Chasen Patterson.”

With a smirk, he added, “I've been the number one racer on the Silverstone Circuit's leaderboard for the past

two years.”

“Okay,” Norah lifted her gaze, grinned, and added, “If you can beaton the racetrack, I'll be happy to get to

know you.”
