Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 978 The Best In Everything 

The twelve race cars disappeared from the crowd’s sight in a flash. It would generally take forty minutes to complete the track, so the first person would only return after forty minutes.

“Who do you think will win today? Does anyone want to take a bet?” someone suggested, finding it pointless to just wait there.

“I’m betting on my goddess. I’ll support her even if she loses.”

“Me, too! I’m betting on her as well.”

“As much as I love my goddess, I can’t bear to waste my money. I’m going to bet on Lily. After all, she was once a world champion.”

Racing was a sport that tested a driver’s skills; looks and brains did not contribute much.

“Bring it on! I’m betting ten thousand on my goddess,” said someone. He only wanted to support Sophie. “Come on, guys! Anyone else?”

The crowd’s comments ticked Ysabelle off. How could they say that? Sophie’s incredible, too!

“I’ll bet a million on Sophie,” declared Ysabelle proudly. She believed they had to appear confident, at the very least.

Lily’s subordinates could not help but scoff when they heard Ysabelle betting on Sophie to win.

“Two million on Lily.” They may hesitate if it was another type of competition, but they had nothing to fear when it came to racing.

Lily’s subordinates knew their leader was truly talented in racing. She would definitely beat Sophie.

“You-” Ysabelle was vexed by the group of women. To her, they were as annoying as their boss, Lily.

Fortunately, Felix tugged at Ysabelle’s arm before she could say anything. “That’s enough. It’s not worth getting mad at them. Just sit here and watch.”

“But I’m angry. They’re clearly bullying Sophie!” Ysabelle huffed. That was something she would never allow.

“Relax. There’s no telling who’s the one getting bullied yet,” said Felix. After all, Sophie was a capable person.

They may not have seen Sophie race before, but they had to believe in her.

“I’m just worried since she’s having her period,” said Ysabelle as she understood the pain of going through menstruation.

She’s already feeling uncomfortable, yet she has to go for a race. I can imagine how uncomfortable she’s feeling.

“It’ll be fine,” was all Felix could manage. Sophie had already sped off, so it was impossible to return right there and then.

Ysabelle could not help but glance at Tristan, amazed by his patience. He never said anything since Sophie left.

“Are you really not worried, Uncle Tristan?”

“Nope. She knows what she’s doing.” Tristan had always believed in Sophie. In fact, he would always support her in whatever she wanted to do.

“Oh.”

Not quite knowing what to say next, Ysabelle quietly moved to the side. There was nothing else she could do since Tristan had said that.

Meanwhile, Sophie kept increasing the speed of her car whose performance was comparable to that of Lily’s.

However, Lily was using her own car, which meant she was more familiar with it.

Sophie, on the other hand, was using this race car for the first time. It would take some getting used to.

The drivers were required to turn around at the huge curve on top of the mountain, which was not ideal for race cars to speed at.

Therefore, drivers would usually slow down at that point to gain better control of the car.

Surprisingly, Sophie did nothing of that sort. She spun the steering wheel swiftly with one hand while tapping rhythmically with the other.

The other participants behind her were astounded.

Her racing skills shocked them, for they did not think one could possibly pull that off. That was when they realized how much they differed in terms of skills.

When Lily saw Sophie catching up through her rearview mirror, her lips curled into a wicked smile.

“That woman is really annoying,” Lily commented. She wouldn’t have been so annoyed if Sophie was just an attractive woman. What irked her was that the latter always did better. From Lily’s point of view, Sophie always turned things into a competition. Annoying people like her shouldn’t exist in this world.

It did not take long for Sophie’s car to take over Lily’s. Regardless, Lily could not be bothered to catch up.

Since she’s so capable, I’ll let her take the lead. I’ve already prepared everything; death will be awaiting her.

A frown marred Sophie’s forehead when she realized Lily was not catching up with her. Is Lily up to something again?

Sophie could not help but suspect Lily. The latter was a ridiculously despicable person, and it was hard to tell if she had plotted something.

Sure enough, Lily had poured gasoline on a spot about one kilometer ahead.

Sophie’s sensitive nose picked up on the smell from afar, and she quickly initiated the traction control system.

Lily was truly devious. If someone unaware of the situation drove past the track without initiating the traction control system, the consequences would be devastating.

At that thought, Sophie turned on the walkie-talkie.

“Everyone, there’s gasoline on the track ahead. Please be aware,” she reminded the participants behind her.

“What? F*ck! Who did that?”

“How abominable! This is a fair competition. How could someone do such a thing?”

“Wait till I find out who did this. I’ll finish them when I get to the bottom of it!”

Being honorable and upright was the most important thing in the circle. Thus, the others were disgusted that someone would pull off such a dirty trick.

Sophie’s voice told Lily that her trick was exposed, so the latter hit the gas pedal. She had only slowed down earlier to let Sophie meet her end.

To Lily’s dismay, Sophie not only found out what she was up to but also passed the spot already.

“D”mn it!” Lily cussed.

Alas, there was no way she could catch up, even if she sped up. When she reached the area where the gasoline was, she lost control and crashed into the rocks on the side. In the end, she was injured.

It never crossed her mind that she could get injured there.

The drivers behind her did not bother to help when they saw smoke rising from her car.

Now that Lily was injured, they had the chance of getting second or third place, which were acceptable rankings.

Sophie was the first to pass the finishing line. This time, she came in first again.

There were mixed reactions from the crowd when they saw Sophie finishing the race first.

Meanwhile, Ysabelle leaped with joy when she confirmed the driver was Sophie.

“Oh my goodness! Sophie’s amazing! How could such an amazing person exist?”

Just exactly how do geniuses function? Not only does Sophie know how to race, but she also won the world championship! Life is really full of surprises.

Watching Sophie get out of the car in that glorious moment made Tristan realize his woman could excel in everything she did.
