Chapter: 1566

Sean said coldly, “Are you suggesting we resort to violence?"

Alyssa shook her head repeatedly. “No, that's not what we meant." She then turned to her friends. “Let's just leave. I don’t want to deal with this anymore."

She leaned on her ski poles, clumsily attempting to walk away.

Sean turned to Norah and said, "She's the bank president's only daughter. Do we still want to make a big deal out of this?"

Sean could certainly assist Norah if she wished to pursue the matter further. He was well-connected with the bank president, who would surely ask Alyssa to apologize to Norah if Sean requested it.

However, under the current circumstances, Alyssa appeared quite rational. It was only her entourage that kept pushing her to cause trouble for Norah.

“Don't go, Alyssa! That woman almost collided with you and she's still bothering you. Does that not make you angry?"

“Stay, Alyssa, don't fear. We all support you here.”

The trio of women, frustrated with the attitudes of Norah and Sean, repeatedly encouraged Alyssa to retaliate.

As Alyssa was reluctantly drawn back by the trio and urged to settle the score, Norah observed with a cool detachment.

With a smirk, Norah commented, "We aimed to avoid a scene, yet some just can't let things be."

Alyssa's eyes welled up with frustration as she exclaimed, “Enough! I came here to ski for enjoyment, not to engage in arguments."

Her friends, caught off guard, protested, “Alyssa, we are only trying to support you. She ran into you and now they expect an apology from you. They are going too far."

Whispering to Sean, Norah remarked, "I was beginning to find skiing a tad dull. But now, it seems we have a more thrilling pursuit at hand. Let's engage with them first."

She then cleared her throat to capture their attention. “What if we settle this on the slopes? You claim my skiing isn't suited for the blue slope. Let's head to the black slope instead. We'll race. No stunts, just speed. The first one to finish could demand an apology from the other. What's your take on that?"

Alyssa paused, visibly unsure, and responded, “Today marks just my third day on skis. It's hard enough to manage the blue slope slowly.”

Sean, giving Norah a look of concern, advised, "No, today is your first day. The black slope is far too risky for a beginner.”

One of the three women spoke up. “Alright, since you said that, I'm willing to compete on Alyssa's behalf to defend her honor."

Alyssa, taken aback, responded, "Greta, you are a renowned skier. Isn't it a bit unfair for you to compete against a novice?"

Alyssa understood fairness, which was why she had been embarrassed by her friends’ earlier suggestion. It seemed extremely unjust, especially since Norah was much less experienced at skiing than Alyssa.

“Alyssa, they didn't specify that you had to be the one to compete. It doesn't have to be that woman competing. That man seems quite adept. The chances of winning this competition are even. Just support me, okay?"

Greta Seymour, with a lofty Look, surveyed Norah and Sean from head to toe. As a prominent professional skier, she was confident of her victory against these amateurs.

Sean, standing next to Norah with a resolute expression, declared, “Norah, let me compete on your behalf. Trust me.”

Norah, maintaining her composure, stated, “Since I initiated this challenge, I will definitely participate. They can choose anyone to face me in the competition."
