Chapter 720
Chapter 720:
“Oh, that hurts,” Aiden responded, his expression turning sorrowful.
“If it was in the past, I wouldn’t have bothered to help those girls.”
“Then why did you decide to help them?”
“You’re MO. If I did nothing, what would people think of you?” Considering his logic, Janice found it unexpectedly rational. “Fine. You did well. Come here,” she said, motioning to Aiden with a gesture.
Aiden, slightly unsure, moved closer. “What?”
Reaching up, Janice pecked him on the cheek.
Aiden stood frozen. “Janice, you…”
Before he could say more, Janice stepped away and slipped a new pair of sunglasses onto his face. “It’s your reward.”
“Can I get a couple more? Maybe two, to match the number of people I saved?”
Janice waved her hand dismissively in front of Aiden. “How about I give you two slaps instead?”
“Let’s not get into that,” Aiden said, his laughter tinged with awkwardness, yet inside, he felt a surge of joy. Day by day, Janice was drawing nearer to him.
Eventually, he hoped to win her over.
Everyone’s focus turned back to the race. Their attention had been on Esther, but they soon realized that the race between Jorge and Conley was approaching its final stretch. Jorge, previously far behind, had miraculously caught up with Conley. His yellow Lamborghini aggressively chased Conley’s red one, resembling a determined hunter.
“This is unbelievable! Jorge was held up for such a long time. How is it possible that he’s this close?”
“Did you see that turn Jorge made? Incredible!”

Despite multiple crashes against the barriers, the yellow car relentlessly pursued, its body badly damaged, appearing nearly ready to fall apart. The car was badly distorted, as though it could crumble into pieces at any second.
Conley was now in a state of panic, frequently glancing at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye. With every glimpse of the yellow Lamborghini bearing down like a wild animal, his heart thudded violently.
“Is he out of his mind? Losing this race isn’t the end of the world for him. Why push so hard?”
“Here he comes again!”
Another sharp turn was approaching. This ninety-degree turn required slowing down significantly to avoid disaster on the mountainous road.
“He’s out of his mind! He’s actually risking his life!” Conley observed as Jorge sped by without decelerating, their eyes locking briefly.
Jorge’s look was intense, furious, and full of overwhelming anger. Conley felt intimidated. In that instant, he understood that Jorge had completely lost it, ready to risk it all just to beat him.
“Conley, I have to win this race! I will get justice for Samantha and make sure you kneel in front of her picture to offer your apologies!” Jorge inhaled deeply, his eyes burning with determination. He yanked on the steering wheel.
Once more, the car slammed into the barrier, and the force of the rebound corrected its angle as it entered the curve. But this time, the impact was insufficient. The yellow Lamborghini sped towards the cliff edge.
