Chapter 859 Almost Found a Girlfriend
"Same old." Saskia was all about extreme sports—parkour, rock climbing, bungee jumping, skydiving, you name it.
Born into a wealthy family, she was their only daughter. Two years ago, after breezing through college ahead of schedule, her parents handed her the reins of the family business.
In public, she was the formidable heiress of the Fuller family, but behind closed doors, she was a race car driver, parkour expert, skiing legend, skydiving enthusiast, and more.
She had a tight-knit group of friends: Abella, Clare, and two other girls who shared her passions.
They usually kept to themselves, each busy with their own lives. Occasionally, they’d ask for help in their group chat or share snippets of their daily lives.
"Perfect timing, I need a favor," Saskia said with a smile. "I messed up my foot doing extreme sports a couple of days ago, and there's an underground race tonight. I need you to race for my team."
These underground races weren't as strict as official ones; as long as both sides showed up, it was game on.
"If we win, the other team will hand over the Velocity Circuit."
The Velocity Circuit was held by a mysterious and influential figure whose drift racing team was notoriously arrogant. They even boasted that no team in Britonia could beat them, and if anyone did, they'd willingly give up the Velocity Circuit.
This statement had angered many teams, each bringing their best to challenge them on the Velocity Circuit, only to face crushing defeats.
Saskia had her own team and was confident they could win, but her foot injury had thrown a wrench in her plans.
She had considered toughing it out, but her right foot couldn't press the gas or brake properly, and her reflexes were compromised.
"Is it serious?" Abella asked, concerned. "Did the meds I gave you help?"
"They did. Thankfully, you left me plenty. The family doctor even praised your meds, saying they were better than his. I've been using them for seven or eight days, and I'm getting better every day."
"How skilled is the other team?" Abella asked.
"Definitely worth racing against."
That meant they were good.
"I'll come to see you after the race," Abella said.
"Great! I'll have a victory party ready at home, waiting for your triumphant return," Saskia said happily.
She had a video conference tonight and couldn't attend the race.
"My team will be there to cheer you on. They all know you, so just do your thing." Saskia added, "The other team is really cocky and rude. If you can't hold back... feel free to smash things up or rough them up. If anything happens, I've got your back."
After all, her family had some clout in Britonia.
Abella chuckled, "I won't lose my cool."
But if those guys needed a lesson, Abella wouldn't mind giving it to them.
After chatting with Saskia for a while, Abella noticed Theo had sent her several messages.
Theo: [Ms. Medici... We initially offered three billion dollars, and they agreed to sell. But today, they backed out, saying they need to reconsider and think the price is too low.]
Theo: [They're clearly messing with us.]
Abella:[How much do they want?]
Theo: [They said without five billion dollars, they won't agree... That island is their leader's beloved island.]
An island overgrown with weeds was a beloved island?
Abella smirked coldly. If they knew the value of the medicinal herbs there, they'd have someone take care of it.
But Theo had investigated, and since the island was bought, no one had lived there. It had been left to its own devices. Was such an island was their beloved island?
Abella: [Four billion dollars, max. If they don't sell, forget it.]
Theo: [Alright, I'll negotiate with them again. Ms. Medici, were you okay last night? Did those people find the hotel?]
Abella: [They didn't come.]
Theo: [That's good.]
Theo had worried all night, plagued by nightmares. Hearing Abella's reassurance, he finally relaxed.
Abella: [I need to visit the princess's castle later. You don't need to come.]
The royal family had tight security and was very cautious. Not just anyone could enter.
Even she would have to go through several security checks.
Theo was just her subordinate and wouldn't be allowed in.
Theo: [Okay, call me if you need anything.]
Abella: [Will do.]
Meanwhile, Phillipe woke up to find a dozen unread messages. He thought they were from Abella, but when he checked, his face darkened—they were voice messages from Sean Gray.
Sean: [Phillipe, guess what? I think I might have found a girlfriend.]
Sean: [Last night, I met a girl. She was wearing a mask, but her clear, beautiful eyes and captivating aura... I never believed in love at first sight, but last night, I swear I could hear my heart skip a beat.]
Phillipe rolled his eyes.
Sean: [I've already sent people to find out more about her. In a couple of days, I'll have results. Phillipe, didn't you say you wanted to introduce your fiancée to all your friends? I'll bring her along too... I bet when you see her, you might even forget about your fiancée...]
Sean: [She's really beautiful and has such a presence! But let me be clear, I saw her first, she's mine!]
Phillipe didn't bother listening to the rest and replied curtly: [Were you drunk last night? Talking nonsense.]
Sean replied excitedly: [It's true! You don't know what it was like last night. She was really heartwarming and kind!]
She even rescued a child trapped in a cage, disregarding her own safety...
In his twenty-two years, he had finally met a different kind of girl!
Last night, he was in the second VIP room, watching the fight downstairs, completely stunned.
Sean: [You've had experience with relationships, right? Tell me, what do girls like? How can I win her over? How do you usually please your fiancée? Money? Yachts?]
Phillipe: [Stay away from her and don't scare her. That's the best gift you can give.]
Sean: [I'm serious about her, not just playing around. Even if her face under the mask is plain, I'm interested in getting to know her, being close to her. I wonder if she has a boyfriend...]
But even if she did, he was better.
Sean: [Phillipe, tell me, what should I give her? A luxury car? Designer goods? A trip abroad?]
Phillipe: [Get her to like you first.]
After that, Phillipe put his phone away, ending the conversation.
Sean: [I will win her over. I'll move her heart eventually! She's so rare, I need to push my people to find her quickly.]
