Ernest’s brow twitched as he caught Sienna’s expression, and he felt a sudden chill running down his spine. Whatever you’re about to say, there’s no way it’ll be good,’ he thought to himself.
Sure enough, he soon heard Sienna’s voice, echoing across the entire Phantom Bay racetrack through the microphone.
“Ernest, according to the rules of the Light the Lamp Challenge, you’ve lost, and the motorcycle you used in the challenge the one with equal value of Ghost – should be mine now,” Sienna announced.

Ernest’s cold eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, ‘Shadow… equal value to Ghost…
‘But it had flown off the track and plummeted from high above because Crow botched the maneuver. Both the rider and the motorcycle were smashed into pieces.
‘Sienna had witnessed as Shadow was wrecked right before her eyes. What’s the point of bringing up Shadow now?’ Ernest wondered.
Meanwhile, Gloria stepped out of the crowd in her high heels. Her face wore a teasing, flirtatious smile- dazzling and flamboyant, yet tinged with a hint of coldness.”Mr. Grant, Shadow was the crown jewel of my collection. But… you’d actually lost my Shadow to that woman?” she said.
She deliberately emphasized the word “my,” then continued, “My Shadow’s market value is estimated to be over 30 million dollars. I won’t ask too much of you, though.”
At this point, Gloria paused briefly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with mischief. “So, I can only take that 15 million dollar deposit you gave me as compensation. Now, remember to transfer the remaining 15 million dollars to my account within 24 hours.”
She raised her hand with the contract Ernest had signed. Holding the contract in her hand, Gloria gave his chest a teasing tap, her smile blooming when she said, “Ernest, better watch that deadline. If you’re late… interest starts racking up.”
Ernest’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Gloria in disbelief as he staggered backward. He had just finished desperately scrambling to raise 50 million dollars. ‘How could I possibly come up with another 50 million dollars within 24 hours?’ he thought.
“Miss Tillery…” Ernest licked his dry lips and raised a hand to brush away the loose strands of hair falling over his forehead. He wanted to try to reason with Gloria, hoping they could come to some arrangement.
But before he could say anything further, Sienna’s cool, clear voice rang out once again. “Ernest, as the loser of the Light the Lamp Challenge, you’re required to compensate me with a motorcycle equal in value to Ghost,” she said.
Ernest’s face went ghostly pale as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind, slamming straight into his heart. He jerked his head up, staring at Sienna in utter disbelief.
‘Does Sienna mean I have to compensate her for a motorcycle worth 30 million dollars?’ he thought, his head spinning.

Gloria has already taken 15 million dollars from me, and I still have to make up the remaining 15 million dollars within 24 hours. And now, Sienna is demanding 30 million dollars?
Even though the Grant family is one of the most prominent and prestigious families in Orlathis City, it’s impossible to come up with 60 million dollars in liquid assets on such short notice. Even if I empty the Grant family’s reserves.. The more Ernest thought about it, the more panicked he became.
“Sienna, don’t go too far!” Jessica snapped. Her head was spinning as she listened to them tossing around the
