Chapter: 27

“Why worry about that? Aren't the Carter family part of the race's shareholders? Even though the Carter family are not on the same level as the Scott family, the major shareholders, it should still be pretty simple to get a hold of a race car driver's contact details."

Madeline gripped Derek's arm and asked with a sweet tone, "Derek, am I correct?"

Madeline had never been involved in racing and naturally didn't know about the race track.

Kathy, eager to catch her favorite racer in action, had convinced Madeline and Derek to join her.

Derek wasn't into risky and exciting stuff like racing, so he casually responded, “I'll have someone check it out.”

Kathy's excitement soared, confident in the advantages of Derek's presence. But as she began sharing stories of Nocturne, she unexpectedly spotted someone familiar. "Is that Norah over there? What's she doing here? And is that a member of the Andrews family with her?"

Kathy's voice, initially too loud, quickly softened as she stepped behind Madeline, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

Norah removed the black-framed glasses she had had worn for the past two years. Her long hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and she'd put on a touch of lipstick, giving her a subtle glow in the sunlight. Dressed simply in a white t-shirt and jeans, she exuded an unmistakable charm.

Madeline couldn't help but notice Derek's expression and saw a hint of admiration in his eyes. She bit her lip and clasped her hands tightly together.

Derek masked his feelings, turning to Norah with a controlled tone, saying, "What brings you here? This isn't a place for you."

He believed that a kind and thoughtful woman Like Norah had no place among the excitement of the racecourse.

Joanna sarcastically retorted, "Oh, Mr. Carter, that's quite arrogant. Do you think you hold the Krusa Mountain Racing? Well, I suppose it's only fair that if scumbags Like you two can be here, our being here seems out of place."

Madeline's expression shifted subtly as she softly responded, "Miss Andrews, do you have any misunderstandings about Derek and me? The Carter family holds a stake in this venue, and Kathy's interest in racing brought us here. Encountering Norah was unexpected..."

Madeline then turned to Norah and said, "Norah, isn't it possible to leave the past behind with Derek? Now that you two are divorced, what purpose does it serve to make your presence in front of Derek here? Resorting to such tactics won't benefit you."

In every sentence, Madeline made Norah feel small. First, she hinted that Norah was trailing them, and then she suggested Norah was desperately trying to patch things up with Derek after the divorce.

She even accused Norah of resorting to underhanded tactics.

Only the best of Glophia could join the Krusa Mountain Racing.

Everyone knew about the Carter family. Although people didn't know much about Norah, they remembered Derek and Madeline very well. Given Derek's lack of defense for Norah since his awakening and his rush to divorce following Madeline's return, it was widely assumed Norah meant little to him.

“What the hell are you even saying? Have you lost your senses? You. Before Joanna could launch further counterattack, Norah quickly covered Joanna's mouth, turning to address Madeline, "Let me be clear, Miss Powell. Your self-centeredness is unwarranted. I'm here to enjoy the race, and Mr. Carter hardly has the right to send me away. Please, mind your own business."

Derek's expression took a sharp turn. Throughout their two-year marriage, Norah had always been patient and compliant toward him.

However, since their separation, it seemed to him she had transformed entirely. He now saw Norah as remarkably assertive.

“So, rubbing shoulders with Miss Andrews has given you the nerve to talk back? Who do you think you've become?" Kathy asked.

Kathy, never one to shy away from a sharp comeback, snapped, “Don't be so arrogant. I can easily have security kick you out."

After learning that the Carter family was one of the shareholders of the race organizers, Kathy's confidence soared. She signaled to a nearby security guard. "Security, please remove this woman for her rudeness..."
