Chapter 130
They were already assuming that my racing skills were subpar and that I was merely a decorative addition to the tram
Gregor’s face darkened with anger.
He opened his mouth to set the record straight, but I placed a hand on his arm, signalling him to hold back.
“No need to defend me,” I said quietly. “I’ll show them what I can do.”
Gregor looked at me with a mix of concern and respect. “Are you sure?”
I nodded. “Yes. Sometimes, you have to prove yourself on the track rather than relying on past accolades.”
I turned to the man who had questioned me.
“How about a race?” I suggested. “If you think I’m not up to par, let’s settle it on the track.”
The man’s face hardened. “I’m not interested in bullying women,” he replied dismissively.
A tall, lanky guy with a sympathetic look stepped forward.
“The track’s already booked for a race with another team today,” he explained. “Besides, our guy here just lost to one of their racers. He’s probably in a bad mood.”
As we spoke, a tall figure emerged from a nearby race car.
The crowd from the opposing team was cheering, and the atmosphere was charged with excitement.
I squinted, trying to make out the figure, and my breath caught in my throat when I realised who it was.
The man took off his helmet, revealing Narik’s familiar face.
His eyes widened in surprise when he saw me, and he immediately jogged over, his demeanour unexpectedly warm.
“Elizabeth!” he called out. “I didn’t expect to see you here!”
The entire scene came to a standstill.
Narik, known for his aloofness and cold demeanor, was unusually friendly and eager.
He shook my hand with genuine enthusiasm,
“It’s been a while,” he said, smiling broadly. “I heard you were coming back, but I didn’t think it would be today. It’s great to see you.”
I was taken aback by his warm reception. “It’s good to see you too, Narik. I’m back with Sparco Racing Team. It’s been a long
time.”
Narik’s eyes lit up. “I’m really looking forward to racing against you again,” he said. “It’s going to be exciting.”
As we chatted, Narik’s teammates called him away. “I’ve got to get back,” he said reluctantly. “But let’s catch up soon.”
The moment Narik left, my teammates swarmed me with questions. “How do you know Narik?” one asked, clearly impressed.

The team members exchanged surprised glances.
The man who had questioned me earlier scoffed.
“Don’t let the team down,” he said, his voice dripping with doubt.
Ignoring his comment, I turned to Gregor. “Do I still have my racing suit?”
Gregor’s face brightened. “Yes, of course! Follow me.”
