Chapter 21 As the golden sunrise turned to a dimmer yellow , it signaled the start of another night of excitement . At the famous Ashenford Dam , preparations were underway for a private rally race Dressed in her racing suit , Veronica stood under the setting sun , holding her helmet . She gazed at the reservoir below , soaking in the warmth of the setting sun , her eyes closed as she savored each breath of fresh air . Isabel said , " Ronie , they won't stand a chance against you . " Veronica smiled , " I think so too . " Today's race was a lap around the reservoir . The course wasn't long , but since it was held at night , it added quite a bit of difficulty . Of course , for those who loved rally racing , this was just the kind of thrill and challenge they craved . There were only three teams in the race today , each with two cars and two drivers . There were no solo racers , and no data would be reported The outcome of this race would decide who would own a new casino in Vellas . Veronica had been invited by the Gorman family , and the other two families had also invited well - known drivers . " Ronie , it's almost time . Are you going to check the car ? Isabel asked . Veronica nodded . Just as she was about to turn , she heard avoice she hadn't heard in a while . " Well , well , if it isn't Veronica . I thought you disappeared after getting that championship two years ago . What are you doing back out here today ? Running out of money already ? " Jayla Clark's sarcastic voice cut through the air . Veronica looked up and saw Jayla , also dressed in a racing suit , walking toward her . Veronica similed , "I heard a defeated opponent of mine came looking for trouble . I guess I have to grant her wish As soon as Jayla heard that , her face fell . She showed her hat into the arms of one of her companions and stormed right up to Veronica . " Veronica , what's with the arrogance ? You know deep down how little merit your championship really had , right ? " If you hadn't tricked Lucas Warren back then , how could you have won ? Now you get to live such a comfortable life , while he has to spend his life in a wheelchair . And it's all because of you . " Jayla got right up in Veronica's face , shouting loudly . Veronica snorted , barely blinking . Her voice was icy . " So you think that can cover up the fact that you lost to me , you loser ? " Jayla was instantly enraged . Veronica ignored her and walked toward her car . Back then , Veronica , Jayla , and Lucas had been part of the same racing team . In their younger , carefree days , they had been close friends . However , things had changed later , leading to Lucas suffering severe injuries and a high - level amputation . As a result , Veronica had become like a stranger to Jayla and Lucas . Thinking about the past , Veronica scoffed and lowered her gaze to check the car's dashboard . Jayla suddenly lunged at the windshield , her hands pressed against the glass as she glared at Veronica , her eyes wide with anger . " Veronica , you ungrateful bitch . Don't forget that Lucas is going to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life all because of you . How can you still race without a single ounce of guilt ? " Jayla yelled . Veronica furrowed her brows . She wasn't about to let Jayla's words get to her . " What the hell is wrong with you ? " Isabel snapped . She called someone to pull Jayla away . Before Isabel could say much more , the opposing team from the Gorman family rushed over to protect Jayla , saying , " Ms. Gorman , attacking a competitor before the race is against the rules , Are you trying to hand over the management rights to us ? " Isabel bellowed , " Are you blind ? She threatened my friend- " Bella . Veronica rolled down the window and leaned out , her expression calm . " Don't mind her .
