“See you at the finish line,” Maloney said, giving Hannah a nod.

Everyone climbed into their racing cars, including Alessandra, who was positioned in seventh place.
Alessandra had kept her helmet on from the start, so her presence went unnoticed.
Once seated in her car, Alessandra scanned the track where Hannah was preparing to race.
Her brow furrowed as she recalled Amelie’s words, gripping the steering wheel tightly; she knew she couldn’t afford to lose.
The flag bearer at the start, a striking woman, waved the flag from the center of the track.
Suddenly, the light switched to green, and at the same time, the woman’s flag signaled the start.
The six cars burst forward from the starting line!
Initially, the cars matched each other’s pace, but soon, Hannah began to lag, visibly trailing behind the first five.
The big screen made it evident that Hannah was significantly behind.
Seated next to Amelie in the grandstand, Joselyn smirked at Hannah’s misfortune. “I don’t think she has what it takes to shine. Today’s race is being broadcast live; she’s going to be utterly embarrassed.”
However, Amelie’s expression remained stern. She turned to Joselyn and asked, “Is this really a time for mockery? Have you completed all the tasks I assigned to you?”
Color drained from Joselyn’s face as she averted her gaze, murmuring, “Dashawn does care for me, but he insists on keeping things private.”
“I’ve suggested we go public after this event,” she continued, her voice faltering, “but he- he didn’t agree.”

“You really suck, don’t you?”
Amelie turned her contemptuous gaze from the big screen to Joselyn.
“Joselyn, do you realize how many candidates I passed over to back you? Had I known earlier, I would have chosen that girl, the one who’s the spitting image of Hannah. She might have been more useful than you are.”
Joselyn, trembling, pledged her loyalty to Amelie. “Mother! I won’t disappoint you. Dashawn is very interested in me. I’ll make sure I become his official girlfriend!”
“Not enough.”
Melody turned to face Joselyn and gently caressed her cheek. “You need to get the Pierce family to recognize you as Dashawn’s fiancee, understand?”
“Yes! Please rest assured, Mother! I will take this very seriously!”
She struggled to steady her shaking body, her face turning pale.
Luckily, Amelie decided not to press further. She turned back to watch the race.
Meanwhile, Maloney noticed from the front that Hannah’s car was falling increasingly behind. He glanced at the rearview mirror, unable to believe that this was the extent of Hannah’s skills.
