Chapter 709:
Janice shook her head, dismissing further discussion. She handed her phone to Vernon, displaying the crucial information Prescott had gathered.
Vernon glanced at the information, his pupils contracting. Now he understood Janice’s reasons.
Jorge’s reputation for romantic escapades was well-known, yet he had an odd habit. Each of his romantic interests bore a striking resemblance to his former love, Samantha Yeat.
Previously, Jorge had competed against Conley in a high-stakes race with Samantha as the prize. Sadly, he lost her to Conley.
However, Conley saw Samantha merely as a trophy, mistreating her severely. During one extremely unpleasant party, she suffered at the hands of multiple assailants, resulting in severe internal injuries that led to her tragic death.
Since then, Jorge had been relentlessly challenging Conley’s records, driven by a deep-seated need for vengeance.
“Jorge might be more useful than he seems,” Vernon said, passing the mobile phone to Janice. “Since the Lambert family serves the Welch family, they’re likely privy to sensitive information. With Jorge on our side, he could prove quite valuable.”
Janice expressed her agreement with a nod. “Now, it all depends on whether Jorge is smart enough.”
Flicking his lighter, Conley ignited his cigarette and instructed his assistant, “I want a background check on these three immediately.”
“Understood!” his assistant responded, promptly stepping aside to initiate the investigation.
As Conley gazed out into the dark, his bleached hair and lip piercing might suggest a wild, rebellious spirit, yet his silhouette blurred into the shadows, creating a mystique around him.
“Conley, we have something here,” said the assistant upon returning, handing him the phone.

Scanning the displayed information, Conley let out a mocking snort. “A nightclub dancer named Tom Lopez and a regular driver, Peter Green. What even is this?”
The details about the two men seemed laughable to Conley, though their profiles strangely fit the descriptions. Their connection to MO remained a mystery, however, complicating the puzzle further. “Can we rely on this data?”
“Without a doubt, Conley! My brother, the hacker, gathered it,” replied the sidekick confidently.
Conley gave a nod of approval, having personally seen the impressive capabilities of his sidekick’s brother.
“Chris has been behind the wheel for over ten years. That’s probably what MO is depending on.”
“But what use is all that experience if he doesn’t know the course? He won’t stand a chance against me.”
Conley’s smirk was tinged with derision. Despite the seeming inevitability of the race’s outcome, he was ready to compete fiercely. His goal was clear: to shatter Jorge’s record and reaffirm his own legendary status as unbeatable.
“After the race, drinks are on me at Nightfall Bar.”
“Cheers, Conley!”
The crowd erupted in excitement.
They started to talk up Conley’s sure win and his unbeatable skills.
