Chapter 261
Elizabeth tightened her grip on his collar. Victor sneered, "Come on, how strong can a woman be?"
Felix cleared his throat, "This is the Wildman Team's racer for today."
"Him?" Elizabeth laughed, sizing Victor up. "He can't outrun me."
Victor's face darkened. He couldn't stand her doubting his skills.
"What are you bragging about? Let's race if you dare!" Victor shouted.
Elizabeth smiled calmly, "Are you sure?"
Victor hesitated, her arrogance catching him off guard. The crowd fell silent.
"Take her on! What are you afraid of?" someone shouted.
Elizabeth turned to see a cocky young man. "If she loses, make her call you daddy!"
Elizabeth squinted. Victor, intrigued, touched his nose and chin.
"I'm not racing," Elizabeth said, grabbing Lila to leave.
Victor wasn't backing down. "Don't chicken out! Weren't you just being arrogant?"
He grabbed her arm. Annoyed, Elizabeth warned, "Let go of me."
"Race, and if you lose, call me daddy," Victor insisted.
Elizabeth squinted at his arm, then his eyes.
"Ms. Percy, scared?" Victor taunted. "Afraid you'll lose like your marriage?"
Elizabeth's heart tightened. She wasn't afraid of losing. If she were, she wouldn't have married Alexander.
"Did I hit a nerve, Ms. Percy?" Victor continued, looking like a thug.
Lila whispered, "Elizabeth, let it go."
Victor ogled Lila, his lewdness clear. "A big star is indeed a looker."
Elizabeth couldn't hold back. "Race!"
Her strong voice caught everyone's attention.
"A female racer?"
"That's rare!"
"Last one was Steve, right?"
"Can Ms. Percy even race, or is she here to make a fool of herself?"
Elizabeth clenched her fists, enduring the skeptical looks. "What if you lose?"
Victor smiled, about to state the rules. "If I lose..."
Elizabeth interrupted, pointing to Eaglecrest Mountain. "If you lose, cut off a thumb. Dare you?"
