The Rollins family's standing was far superior to the Marsh family's, and Seth Rollins was among the finest men in the city. He should have been Ava Adam's top choice. When news of their proposed marriage alliance first broke, she hadn't shown a hint of dissatisfaction.So why had Ava Adam accepted Tayne Marsh—and so suddenly?The Rollins and Adam families had been pushing for her to be with Seth Rollins. If Ava Adam had told them about that night, Seth Rollins wouldn't have been able to back out. Why let such a golden opportunity slip?Did she not like Seth Rollins?Or had he said something to her after that night that made her give up completely?Gwen Grayson said nothing.The bitterness of unrequited love was something she knew all too well. She'd guarded her feelings for Tayne Marsh for years. He'd waited for Ava Adam just as long—the loneliness and anguish he endured couldn't have been any less than hers.Now, watching him finally receive a response from Ava Adam, she was genuinel

At the sound of her congratulations, Tayne Marsh turned back.But Gwen Grayson had already walked away, leaving only a silhouette that never looked back. The torn fragments on the ground were swept up by the wind and scattered, as if nothing had ever happened.Could it be... he'd really wronged her?"Gwen Grayson."Watching that small figure, Tayne Marsh suddenly called out again. "I hope you truly mean that—about wishing me and Ava well."Gwen paused, then slowly turned around.This figure—she'd followed it for years. So tall, so upright, so dashing. In dreams, in waking life, in her heart and in her eyes—it was always him.Now, she lifted her lips into a faint smile and said to him, "Tayne Marsh, I truly wish you and Ava Adam a happy ending. After all, you're the man I once loved."Who knew that years later, she could face him with such calm composure?Tayne Marsh noticed it too—there was no trace of shyness or affection left in Gwen's eyes. She really had let him go.After all these

After all, the top drivers were all exceptionally strong.At that moment, Ava Adam appeared in the lounge."Thank you for your answer.""Hero Nik" quickly excused himself from Freya, swung his camera toward Ava Adam, and rushed over to her. "Miss Adam, fans are really curious—between you and Chloe Bishop, who's faster? Could you say a few words to them?"Ava Adam was clearly dressed to impress—a fitted floral-print long dress, sleek black straight hair, and delicate makeup on her oval face.The earrings and necklace she wore were from Bishop Group Jewelry's less popular collection.Though less trendy, they were carefully chosen to flatter her face shape and neckline.It was a challenge to Chloe Bishop's influence as a tastemaker.She refused to believe she'd lose to Chloe Bishop in that regard. Popular bestsellers were easy to push—turning an overlooked piece into a must-have? That took real skill."Of course."Facing the interview, Ava Adam carried herself with grace and poise. But th

"What about you? Where are your flowers?"Lady Grayson glared at him with a mix of frustration and disappointment. "With that attitude, how are you supposed to compete with that Tang boy? Don't forget—in Chloe's eyes, you're a man with quite a bit of baggage."With this self-destructive attitude, how's he ever going to win her back?Thank goodness she'd prepared ahead of time and had Nanny arrange a surprise early on. Otherwise, relying on this hopeless grandson of hers—when would she ever get to hold a great-grandchild?But Xavier Grayson replied unhurriedly, "Who said I'm competing with Seth Rollins?"With that, he shot a cold glance at Nanny: Busybody.Nanny, the traitor, unconsciously shrank his neck: Young Lord, I was forced!Lady Grayson frowned. "You're saying you don't like Chloe? You have no intention of remarrying her?"Four pairs of eyes fixed on Xavier Grayson.Xavier Grayson said coldly, "No."Lady Grayson was too furious to speak. She'd thought her icy grandson had finall

"Wow—they're wearing the same dress!""Same dress isn't the problem; it's who looks worse in it.""Next to her, Ava really lost badly.""No comparison, no harm. There's a reason they call her the absolute beauty."The murmurs from the side made Ava's expression turn sour. Do these people think I'm deaf?She spun around and saw Chloe Bishop in a white floral-print dress—identical in style and pattern to her own.Chloe had a slender, well-proportioned frame, flawless features, and fair skin. Wearing the same dress, she looked ethereal and regal, as if untouchable.Ava's assistant was furious. "Chloe Bishop definitely did this on purpose."That remark ignited Ava's temper. She shot her a cold glare. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm inferior to her?""No, that's not what I meant," the assistant said, feeling wronged. "I was just defending you."But the crowd's eyes don't lie!She'd always thought Ava was exceptional—beautiful, poised, worthy of the title "top socialite." But n

Chloe Bishop was now realizing that too much time in the headlines could be a real headache.All this over matching dresses? And it blew up to the top of the trending charts!!!Some anti-fans even threatened to splash ink all over Bishop Villa.If not handled quickly, a small issue could blow up into something huge. Being labelled a "scheming woman" would invite endless criticism, mass unfollowing, and even a boycott of the Bishop Group brand.To shake off that label, she needed two things: first, proof that Gwen Grayson had bought the dress first; second, to beat Ava Adam on the track.If Ava Adam couldn't even compete with her on the racetrack, why would she care about her accusations? The "scheming wardrobe" narrative would just be her fans' wild imagination, wouldn't it?But as she walked into the changing room, she ran straight into Ava Adam, who wore a sour expression as if Chloe had gravely wronged her. "Aren't you going to explain yourself?"Chloe found it laughable. "Miss Adam

"What did she eat growing up?""If I had skin like that, I wouldn't need plastic surgery!""So beautiful—even I, a woman, am moved!""I'm already converted..."People couldn't help but compare Ava Adam beside her—from skin to features... For the first time, Ava's beauty was being found lacking.After Rain Swallow's appearance, the other teams filed out one by one. The atmosphere was already electric before the race even began—a testament to the nation's passion for racing.At 8:30, the host thanked the sponsors: the Adam Group, the Taylor Group, the Marsh Group, the Grayson Group, and other major corporations.Everyone in New York City knew these were the biggest names in the business world.Behind them sat their representatives: Jane, Nicholas Taylor, Tayne Marsh, and Xavier Grayson—each a towering figure in their own right.The host's voice rang with excitement. "Next, let's welcome the judges for this national qualifier. First up—the most dazzling female driver on the international

The host then announced the other two judges—both revered retired racers who'd remained in the sport over the years, nurturing a new generation of talent.Netizens chimed in that these two elder statesmen were truly qualified to be judges. But Xavier Grayson? Had he even raced before?As doubts mounted, Jin updated his W******p with a single line: "My master. Handsome, isn't he?"The post detonated across the internet.Attached was a photo of none other than Xavier Grayson!Xavier Grayson was Jin's master?! The revelation was explosive. The W******p post shot to the top of the trending charts, the buzz growing by the second."Damn—Xavier Grayson is Jin's teacher!"Jun excitedly shared the news with Chloe Bishop.She was stunned. Then she recalled her conversation with Jin last night—he'd said he would clear things up for her on W******p because someone had asked him to.Looking at it now, that someone might well be Xavier Grayson!But Xavier Grayson was cold and indifferent. This didn'

As soon as Group 1 took the track, the atmosphere turned electric.Dax and Winnie had brought out a large crowd of fans, and Ava Adam's supporters were no less vocal—each group cheering their idol on with equal fervor.Chloe Bishop pushed aside her thoughts and focused on the track.Winnie's injury had healed. Judging by Ava Adam's performance in the last race, the two were evenly matched. This round was bound to be spectacular.Bang!At the sound of the gun, six cars shot off the starting line almost simultaneously. The roar of engines ignited the entire venue, sending waves of excitement through the crowd.To racing fans, that sound was the most beautiful symphony.This time, no driver dared hold back. From the moment the gun fired, they had to give it their all. A fierce and thrilling competition unfolded.Ava Adam kept her eyes forward. Her goal wasn't just Winnie—if possible, she wanted to overtake Dax. So from the very start, she pushed hard, surging to the front.After one lap,

Look in the mirror?Was Xavier Grayson saying she wasn't pretty?Anna had always taken great pride in her beauty. This was the first time anyone had ever dismissed her so casually, and she felt both hurt and deflated. She wanted to ask Xavier Grayson what exactly he found lacking in her, but the look in his eyes stopped her cold. Her throat seemed to close up.Xavier Grayson's presence was overpowering. He wasn't angry, yet he commanded an authority that needed no display. Anna quickly buckled under the pressure, averted her gaze, and sat up straighter without thinking.Xavier Grayson turned his attention back to Chloe Bishop—only to find her completely absorbed in the race. Not far from her, Seth Rollins sat watching her, his eyes fixed on her face without once looking away.Xavier Grayson's gaze turned razor-sharp. His fingertip traced idly over the cufflink at his wrist, scraping against it again and again, as if he both adored and resented it.The judges seated near Xavier Grayson
