Chapter: 364

As Norah hung up, Alice's excited babble commenced in Norah's ear.

“Wow! Norah, when I was watching the big screen, I was convinced you wouldn't clinch first place!"

Alice looped her arm through Norah's. “Don't blame me for doubting.

It was the final stretch, and you were still in second place. That black car was something else! But then you swooped in and took first!

Incredible!"

Winning first place amidst stiff competition spoke volumes.

As soon as Norah removed her helmet post-victory, the crowd erupted in cheers, chanting Selene's name!

Alice replayed the recorded videos for Norah to watch. "Did you see the crowd's reaction when you won? It was amazing!"

On the small screen, jubilant faces were captured, cheering Norah on.

"Selene! Selene! Selene!"

The exhilaration in the cheers transmitted through the video.

At that moment, Norah's heart skipped a beat. To achieve such remarkable results in her field filled her with pride.

In the study of Derek's villa in Glophia, Derek was frowning at the contract displayed on his computer. He tried to pinpoint what the other party found unsatisfying so he could make adjustments.

Yet, no matter how he examined it, the contract seemed to offer little benefit to his company, and still, the other party was not content.

Frustrated, Derek grabbed his hair, puzzled over the situation.

The workload today was more than Derek could handle. The company's operating funds hadn't bounced back, already in a financial pinch. He wondered how the company could keep running under these circumstances.

It seemed like no one in Glophia, including the Powell family, was interested in signing a contract with him.

And then there was Madeline, who only seemed to spend his money. She didn't have a job, and he funded everything she used.

Despite this, Derek constantly caught wind of her grievances. The money wasn't enough, and he didn't show her enough love. She never voiced these complaints directly to him. In his presence, Madeline always acted lovingly.

But now, Derek was starting to doubt whether her love was genuine or if he was just clinging to a hopeful illusion.

A notification on his phone grabbed his attention, and it was a link to some international entertainment news that Kathy had sent over.

"Big congrats to Selene for winning the championship in the racing event hosted by both countries! The race was a hit, perfectly set up by..."

Derek skimmed through the rest of the article, pausing when he saw a familiar name, Selene, which was actually Norah. He squinted at the screen. His fingers moved over the phone screen, pausing instantly when he saw the accompanying photo.

There Norah was, wearing a refined black leather jacket, oozing confidence. Her chestnut hair, slightly curled, flowed down her back, and her look seemed to challenge the world. Norah was strikingly beautiful.
