Too Good for You: The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 37

The race started soon after.

Noelle wasn't nervous, but Shannon was. Noelle's warning had planted a seed of fear in Shannon's heart.

While Shannon didn't think Noelle would necessarily emerge victorious this time, she'd been pretty taken aback by Noelle's gritty promise and grim resolve.

The race played on the big screen, and the camera tracked Shannon's and Noelle's maneuvers. The race this time wasn't on the special tracks, and as far as skill sets went, it didn't focus as much on technicality as it did speed.

Shannon pulled forward at the start of the race and heaved a sigh of relief. Every racer knew that a slow start was the first sign of a backmarker. If she'd taken the lead and shaken off Noelle, she had a much higher chance of beating the latter in this race.

But it was precisely this apparent advantage that fed into Shannon's false sense of security. She began to underestimate her rival.

At first, Shannon thought Noelle was some great racer, but Noelle turned out to be a disappointment right from the get-go. Shannon thought this was a lack of professionalism on Noelle's part.

She thought she heard her teammates cheering for her from the stands.

But it wasn't long before she realized something was amiss.

No matter how fast Shannon sped down the tracks, Noelle's car tailed her closely like a shadow. She couldn't shake Noelle off at all.

Whenever she tried to lap the other cars, Noelle tailed her like gum at the bottom of a shoe, cutting off any openings.

Only then did Shannon register how badly this would turn out for her.

Her palms began to sweat. The fact that Noelle was openly tailing her could only mean she was confident in this maneuver and that she would win with it.

Shannon stepped on the gas pedal. She completed one lap, then another, but she still couldn't shake off Noelle, who followed her like a shadow. She decided that she'd shake Noelle off for good at the next bend.

The two women's intense rivalry was broadcast on the big screen. Most of the audience discussed Noelle's strategy.

Logically speaking, Noelle shouldn't have resorted to such a ruthless maneuver when racing against another member of the national team. But judging by the race, it was clear Noelle wasn't holding back at all.

It wasn't long before a shocking scene appeared on the big screen. As Shannon reached the bend, Noelle overtook her with lightning speed. The audience didn't even get a proper look at how she'd accomplished such a feat!

Shannon's car was forced to the innermost ring of the tracks, then, without warning, she flipped at the bend.

Shannon's car had flipped over. The captain of a national team had been defeated during the league championship.
