Chapter 171 Find a Way to Stir Up Some Trouble
As soon as they heard the group chat notification sound, the other two groups guessed it must be Raymond sending something annoying again.
But they couldn't help but take out their phones to check.
They couldn't help themselves; their curiosity got the best of them.
Then they saw the news that Elizabeth was going to participate in an amateur motorcycle race.
Nancy's group were shocked, clearly surprised that Elizabeth could do this.
Nancy: [Elizabeth, is there anything you can't do?]
Ronald: [Elizabeth, you're amazing, you can even do this.]
Marlon: [Elizabeth is so awesome!]
Elizabeth: [I used to compete a little when I was back home. I just happened to come across an event, so I thought I'd give it a try.]
Nancy: [I want to come watch you race.]
Elizabeth: [Come on, if I win the prize money, I'll treat you all to dinner tonight.]
Nancy: [Elizabeth, I love you. We'll definitely be there on time this afternoon. I've been jealous of Raymond and Gilbert for a long time. Today, I'm coming too.]
Ronald: [So today we don't have to do anything and can still earn money? I'm so looking forward to it.]
Marlon: [Looking forward to it, so excited!]
The three of them found part-time waiter jobs, so it was no problem to go find Elizabeth in the afternoon.
They happily decided to go watch Elizabeth's race.
On the other side, the four who were still waiting to start work had different expressions.
Arnold was very surprised and asked Kevin, "Elizabeth can ride motorcycles?"
Kevin shook his head while saying, "I don't know either."
At this moment, Eugene looked away from Elizabeth's photo in the group chat.
He said with a bit of pride, "Not only can she ride motorcycles, but her skills can also rival professional riders."
Rebecca used to love dragging Elizabeth to ride around in motorcycles and even participate in races.
He thought it was too dangerous and had opposed it.
Now he felt nostalgic, remembering when Elizabeth had forcibly dragged him to watch their races.
Hearing this, the Clark brothers and Brenda were once again shocked.
Arnold and Kevin felt a bit sour inside.
Elizabeth had been home for over a year, and they didn't even know she could do this.
Brenda was jealous; Elizabeth had so much hidden talent.
The key was that participating in such a motorcycle race, even if she didn't win the prize money, could attract a wave of traffic to her live stream.
She couldn't stop it, so she could only pray that Elizabeth wouldn't win the prize money.
It would be best for Brenda if Elizabeth had an accident during the race, injuring her face or breaking her leg.
Then she kept cursing Elizabeth in her heart.
Eugene suggested, "Let's go watch Elizabeth's race this afternoon."
The three didn't expect him to say that.
Brenda didn't want to help Elizabeth boost her popularity.
Otherwise, wouldn't the viewers in their live stream see Elizabeth stealing the spotlight?
She said with a troubled expression, "But they didn't invite us. It wouldn't be appropriate to just go like that."
She took the opportunity to badmouth Elizabeth, implying that Elizabeth and the others were too stingy.
Eugene didn't care and said, "We don't need their invitation; we can just go ourselves."
He knew Elizabeth wouldn't invite them, but he just wanted to go.
Brenda said tactfully, "If we do that, won't they be unhappy?"
Eugene said, "We'll leave after watching, without disturbing them."
Brenda wanted to object again. They weren't idle; why would they do something like this?
This time, before she could object again.
Kevin said, "I'm curious to see Elizabeth racing on a motorcycle. I want to go too."
He had missed Elizabeth's growth and now wanted to be involved in other aspects of her life.
Even if it was just as a spectator.
Arnold was also curious. He encouraged, "Then let's go watch."
Brenda remained silent, holding back her tongue. These three were really driving her crazy.
Elizabeth racing on a motorcycle was not gentle or elegant activity at all; what was there to see?
These three were really out of their minds.
She suppressed her anger and forced a smile. She tried to prevent them by saying, "But we have to play the piano and violin this afternoon."
Eugene glanced at Brenda unhappily. He retorted, "The race starts at 2 PM, and we start work at 5 PM. We should have enough time to get back. If you don't want to go, then we'll go."
The money they earned at noon was enough to cover the round-trip taxi fare.
Kevin also said, "If Brenda doesn't want to go, then the three of us will go."
If she didn't want to go, there was no need to force her; otherwise, it would be uncomfortable for everyone.
Arnold didn't say anything, clearly agreeing.
He felt even more uncomfortable with Brenda now.
After thinking about it all night, he realized that Brenda's concern and care for him were too superficial.
He had made an excuse for her, thinking she was too tired yesterday, so she didn't think much about it.
But today, he deliberately said his throat hurt, and she didn't even ask what was wrong with his throat or if he needed any medicine.
She only thought about making money and showing off, making him feel a bit heartbroken for the first time.
Now knowing she didn't want to watch Elizabeth's race, he no longer supported her unconditionally.
Brenda felt like she was about to collapse and explode on the spot with anger and jealousy.
The smile on her face faded a bit. "Do you really have to go?" she asked pitifully.
Eugene and the other two nodded in unison. They answered, "Yes, we have to go."
Brenda took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "Alright, then let's go together. I'm also curious about Elizabeth racing on a motorcycle."
Since she couldn't change their minds about watching the race, she had to find a way to stir up some trouble.
The three didn't object and unanimously decided to take a taxi after lunch.
After sitting for a while, Brenda went to the bathroom.
Then in the bathroom, she pretended to be in a hurry.
She borrowed a phone from a female server who was also in the bathroom and made a call.
She told the person on the other end about the time and place of Elizabeth's motorcycle race in the afternoon.
After hanging up, Brenda's previous depression and anger were gone.
Instead, she looked forward to watching Elizabeth's race.
Seeing Brenda come back from the bathroom in a much better mood.
Eugene and the other two were a bit puzzled.
Kevin thought for a moment and sent a message in the group chat: [Our group happens to be free this afternoon, so we'll come join the fun and watch too.]
He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but feel a bit hopeful.
By sending this message, he wondered if Elizabeth would, for the sake of the live stream or face, say in the group chat that they were welcome to come.
He didn't even dare to think that she would invite them to dinner.
Just a reply would be good.
On the other side, in the racetrack's rest area, Elizabeth sensed someone cursing her. Because she had Generational Blessings, she could feel it a bit.
But it was just a simple curse with Generational Blessings, not involving any witchcraft.
Without thinking too much, she could guess it was definitely Brenda.
Then she heard the group chat notification sound.
She saw Kevin's message in the group chat, saying they were also coming to watch her race.
Elizabeth didn't feel much, just thought these four were very strange.
She didn't have a good relationship with them, so why were they coming to watch her race?
Was it because of the live stream?
But if that were the case, Brenda wouldn't want to come and would probably try to persuade the other three not to.
Now that all four were coming, the other three might just be out of their minds.
But Brenda, who had been cursing her, made her think twice and kept her guard up.
