Chapter 209 Sheena sat down and looked at Edward and Carle, who were still walking away from them. She smiled and muttered, “Carle’s probably going to be scolded.” “Haha! That's for sure...” Meanwhile, Edward dragged Carle to a place where no one else was around. His darkened face was horrifying. Finally, he blurted all the words that he held in just now. “Have you lost your mind?! | invested so much tand effort, hoping that you can take over Semoa Group. | understand that you might not be able to find an outstanding car racer, but why did you hire a woman to make up for it? What a surprise from you, Carle Semoal” I'm more shocked than surprised! This is utterly embarrassing! Carle had expected this reaction from Edward. He smiled and said, “Dad, do you only have so little trust in me?” Startled, Edward was tongue-tied for a moment. But she’s just a young chick. Is she reliable? It requires exceptional driving skills and a mature mentality to be a car racer. | doubt she can drive a normal car, let alone a race car! Carle sighed, “Dad, since | promised to give you a surprise, not a shock, | would definitely keep my word. What's wrong with female car racers? They could have proficient skills as well. Dad, do you really think she’s just an ordinary girl?” Carle observed his father’s expression and perceived his complicated yet doubtful look. A smile tugged at his lips. “Keep watching, Dad. You'll know how outstanding she is.” After all, she’s someone whom | hope dad will approve of as his daughter—in—law. I'll keep striving to pursue Elisa! She's such an excellent girl. I've already wasted three years; | don't want to miss the chance anymore. Otherwise, | would be depressed! “You...” Edward was at a loss for words as he stared doubtfully at his son. However, when he perceived Carle’s confident look, he heaved a sigh and uttered, “Oh well, I'll trust you this time. But... you have to be rational! If she’s not capable, go contact another car racer immediately, so that the situation wouldn't be too awkward even if we lost. At least, you've tried your best.
There's still tto get another car racer now.” While saying that, Edward sized up Carle to probe his attitude.
Carle shook his head with a smile. “I'm not going to replace her, Dad. She's the best.” “Who exactly is she?” “You'll know in the future.” Since Elisa wanted to keep it a secret, Carle did not intend to reveal the truth, not even to his father. Once Elisa's identity was made known to Edward, the latter might secretly contact Elisa to garner more benefits and cause trouble for her. If that happened, Carle would regret it for a lifetime, as the last thing he wanted was to see Elisa being put in a difficult situation.
“You punk! I'm your father. How dare you hide things from me?!” Edward threw a fit.
Carle replied calmly with a smile, “Dad, I've said that | want to give you a surprise. The competition is going to start in half an hour. You'll find out soon.” Edward inhaled deeply while Carle glanced toward Elisa and the others to see them chatting happily. He turned and said to Edward casually, “Let's go back, Dad. Just wait and see.”
