Chapter: 28
Before she could finish, the murmurs in the crowd disappeared. A way opened up, enough for three people to pass through. With the sound of footsteps, everyone froze, eyes fixed on a man strolling their way.

Sean was recognized as Glophia's most influential figure and a key investor of the Krusa Mountain Racing.

Derek had heard about Sean's reputation beforehand. He paid his respects and greeted Sean, "Mr. Scott..."

Meeting the legendary Sean for the first time, Derek was so overwhelmed he found himself at a loss for words.

Sean moved on without stopping, barely acknowledging Derek's presence.

Derek was left standing, feeling embarrassed as the only one who spoke and received no acknowledgment, resembling a clown in silence.

Sean, however, halted momentarily, his gaze inadvertently catching Norah's. Their eyes met.

Norah instinctively stood taller, quickly averting her gaze.

Without missing a beat, Sean instructed, "Phillip, escort Miss Andrews and her companion to the front-row seats." His expression was stoic, yet his mere look was enough to captivate many.

Joanna, taken aback, whispered, "Mr. Scott?" She had never had any dealings with Sean and was puzzled by his unexpected offer.

Sean's face stayed blank as he directed Phillip, "Today, I'll cover the tab for Miss Andrews and her friend."

His attention didn't directly rest on Norah, yet Norah felt a peculiar sense that his actions were meant for her.

Joanna attempted to decline, "Mr. Scott, there's really no need for..."

Sean cut her off, “Have you placed your bets yet? Are you rooting for Nocturne or Selene?"

His question was directed at Joanna, prompting her to respond, “We're definitely going with Selene."

Sean gave a light laugh and turned to Norah. “What about you?"

Norah's brow furrowed. She was puzzled about why Sean would talk with her and Joanna when they had no prior acquaintance.

"I'm also rooting for Selene," Norah answered Sean honestly, trusting her own abilities.

Sean directed Phillip, "Go ahead and bet five times the amount Miss Andrews and Miss Wilson have wagered. Let them have a grand time at the Krusa Mountain Racing." With that, he departed.

Norah's gaze lingered on Sean as he walked away, her mind swirling with questions.

Once Sean had vanished from sight, Kathy couldn't resist asking, "Since when are you connected to the Scott family?"

Norah shot her a cool look. "How is that any of your business?"

The individuals Sean had arranged stood by silently, awaiting instructions. Kathy opened her mouth to retort but was silenced as Derek led her away, forcing her to hold back her words.

Joanna took Norah to the front row seats, with a better view and more breathing room. These seats beat the packed ones at the back by a mile.
