Adrian wrote that he missed her and asked if she could come back—he wanted to eat the little wontons and noodles she used to make for him.Lady Grayson said that Lana Rose had finally been driven out last night—it should have happened sooner, and Chloe Bishop had been wronged for too long.Lana Rose sighed, saying that with Xavier Grayson's temperament, he was destined to grow old alone.But no one asked her why she had come.Chloe Bishop watched the time tick by, growing more distracted. Finally, when Lana Rose offered to go to the kitchen and cook her some signature dishes, she steeled herself and spoke up. "Mother-in-law, don't go to any trouble. I'll sit for a bit and then leave—I won't be staying for dinner."She couldn't bear to look at their faces. From her bag, she took out the box Xavier Grayson had once thrown away, along with the property deed Xavier Grayson had given her on Lily's birthday.She handed them to Lady Grayson and took a deep breath. "Grandma, I'm here to return

Chloe Bishop stood frozen, staring at Xavier Grayson. She couldn't leave, yet she couldn't stay either. Behind her, Rick's sobs filled the air—only she seemed unable to hold back her tears.Xavier Grayson turned to Nanny, his voice carrying its usual coldness. "See the guest out."At this point, there was nothing left to say.This time, neither Lady Grayson nor Lana Rose tried to stop her. Nanny sighed regretfully and said, "Miss Bishop... please."But what about her race car?Xavier Grayson didn't seem to have any intention of giving it to her.Chloe Bishop didn't want to have come all this way for nothing. Today was already Wednesday—if she didn't get the car now, she'd lose another day. So she looked at Xavier Grayson. "I need to talk to you."Xavier Grayson strode toward her on his long legs, stopping right in front of her. Towering over her, his handsome face was cold and sharp. "Wait for me outside."And so, Chloe Bishop waited.For over an hour.The sun had still been high when

This man was always like this—he'd give you the cold shoulder and expect you to figure out what you'd done wrong on your own. Xavier Grayson was clearly in a foul mood. And since Chloe Bishop was in the wrong and needed something from him, she had no choice but to search for the problem in herself. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "Grandma didn't give you a hard time, did she?" Xavier Grayson turned his face toward her, his expression cold as frost. "I had dinner alone. What do you think?" Chloe Bishop fell silent. "That means... what I said worked. After tonight, they won't bring me up again." At least you had dinner—I'm still starving! Xavier Grayson let out a cold "Hmph" and drove off from the Grayson Residence. The ride was dead silent. Chloe Bishop shifted uncomfortably and stared out the window. "Are we heading back to the team garage?" Xavier Grayson couldn't even be bothered to grunt in response. She wisely kept quiet. She guessed that Nora Fatehi's words might b

"What do you think?"Xavier Grayson's thin lips curved slightly as he stepped on the gas.The race car shot onto the track. As the engine roared louder, the speed climbed higher and higher. Chloe Bishop instinctively gripped the armrest.The sheer velocity sent a thrill through her. She shouted over the noise, "Then you'd better teach me everything you've got—holding back isn't allowed! If I lose, it's on you, Coach.""Isn't that exactly what you were hoping for?""What?"She yelled, "What did you just say? I couldn't hear you—say it again!"But Xavier Grayson's faint smile never opened into words again.He took her from the first track all the way to Upper Third. When they finally stopped, Chloe Bishop's head was spinning. It took her a long moment to recover.Now, she had no doubt left about Xavier Grayson's speed.That was insanely fast.But he didn't give her much time to recover. He turned his handsome face toward her, expressionless. "Your turn."She stayed glued to the passenger

Xavier Grayson calmly released his grip from the armrests, pretending nothing was amiss. "Not bad. There's still room for improvement in your speed.""Really?"Chloe Bishop had expected him to tear into her, but instead, he'd given her recognition—and even said she could go faster.That was the highest praise she could ask for.But... why was his forehead so sweaty?She grabbed a few tissues and handed them to him. "Coach, are you feeling hot?"Coach?What a suck-up!!!Xavier Grayson cleared his throat lightly and said flatly, "Men run hotter. Not like you—no matter how hard you push, you barely break a sweat."Hmm?Chloe Bishop suspected he was making an innuendo, but she had no proof.After a pause, she pressed further, "Coach, are you feeling flushed, cold sweats, stiff limbs, weak legs?""No.""Really?"She suddenly grabbed his hand and flipped it over—then burst out laughing. "Hahaha... Xavier Grayson, so you can get scared! Feeling like a coward now?"Xavier Grayson looked down a

Xavier Grayson frowned at her sudden coldness. Irritation flickered across his face, and his tone turned frosty. "Fine."They didn't speak another word on the way back.Chloe Bishop thought to herself—once this national championship was over, she would leave Savannah.Halfway through the drive, Xavier Grayson received a call. His face darkened.She heard him say, "I'll be right there," then he turned to her. "Get out."No explanation. Just a curt "Get out.""Now?"Her expression shifted."Yes."His answer was immediate, without hesitation.She didn't ask further. She unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car.Xavier Grayson glanced at her through the rearview mirror, then sped off. He was heading to the hospital—it wasn't convenient to bring her along.The race car vanished into the night. The deep autumn air was chilly, and Chloe Bishop wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing them for warmth.There was nothing around—no houses, no shops. And yet, he'd still left her here.She

Xavier Grayson had been right—Seth Rollins really did like her. So intuition wasn't just a woman's thing; men had it too? She took a shower, and when she came out, Seth Rollins's car was finally gone. She let out a breath of relief. At the hospital where Het Grayson was staying, chaos had erupted. Het Grayson had been ambushed. Gunfire plunged the entire hospital into panic. Lana Rose had taken a bullet for Het Grayson and collapsed in a pool of blood. The sniper had been stationed in the building across the street, firing two shots—neither hitting Het Grayson—before vanishing immediately. Under the protection of Zayed and his team of bodyguards, Het Grayson escaped to safety without a scratch. Lana Rose had been shot in the back, close to her heart. By the time Xavier Grayson arrived, she was already in emergency surgery. Het Grayson sat waiting outside the operating room. "Dad." Xavier Grayson walked up, his expression grim. "Are you alright?" Het Grayson shook his head, th

And so, many racing fans woke up that morning to find their goddess's W******p adorned with a lengthy public apology and self-critique.Freya and Sana's W******p accounts updated simultaneously—aside from minor differences in the self-reflections, the content was nearly identical.Looking back at the whole scandal surrounding Chloe Bishop: Yennifer was arrested, Maya Bronx was hospitalized after vomiting blood, only to meet the same fate as Yennifer. Then Xavier Grayson stepped in to clarify. And now, Freya and Sana were publicly apologizing. Chloe Bishop had successfully turned the tables—and what a stunning comeback it was.Though Thursday seemed uneventful, a few "interesting" things did happen.Mrs. Taylor called Nora Fatehi again. Apparently, her second round of battle with Nadia had also ended in failure.In the first round, Mrs. Taylor had tried to meet Nadia privately, hoping to make her back off from Nicholas Taylor. But Nadia had called Nicholas Taylor over and put on a tearf

Lana Rose's presence had never affected Chloe Bishop in the slightest.If Jin couldn't compete, she'd be popping champagne and setting off firecrackers.Ava Adam laughed. "Don't you know?"Chloe Bishop shot back, "Why would I know?"If she didn't know that Het Grayson had plenty of enemies, Chloe Bishop might have suspected Lana Rose of staging the whole thing herself.Kicked out by Xavier Grayson one moment, then taking a bullet for Het Grayson the next—what incredible luck. Survive that, and she'd instantly turn her fortunes around.But venting aside, Chloe Bishop genuinely admired Lana Rose.How much courage must a woman have to take a bullet for someone?She must love Xavier Grayson desperately to throw herself into danger like that.And on that front, Chloe Bishop had to admit she fell short.But now, was Ava Adam trying to pin something on her?Ava Adam stepped closer to Chloe Bishop and replied in a voice only the two of them could hear. "Nothing. Just figured you'd want to know

Who was this woman?After looking at the photo, that single question consumed Chloe Bishop's thoughts.Then she remembered a line Xavier Grayson had once said to her: "I kissed you because you remind me of my ex-girlfriend in America."Was this woman the ex-girlfriend he'd mentioned?Did his divorce from her have something to do with this ex?Jade sent two more photos, followed by a string of shocked emoji’s. "Xavier Grayson is on a blind date with her."A blind date?Chloe Bishop frowned. "Are you sure they're on a blind date?"If this woman was Xavier Grayson's ex, they should have known each other for a long time. This could just be an ordinary date.Jade didn't reply immediately.Chloe Bishop opened the two photos. In one, they were gazing into each other's eyes; in the other, the woman looked down with a gentle smile, radiant and captivating.It was clear they were getting along well, laughing and chatting comfortably.Soon, Jade sent another photo. This one included several more
