Chapter 478: Trouble for Griffin and Audrey

Audrey's outcry truly baffled Tina.

"What do you mean by 'replace'?"

Velma rolled up her sleeves, swatted Audrey's hand away, and stood with her hands on her hips, confronting her,

"Who are you talking about? Tina plotting behind the back? Who do you think you are? | represent the whole

student body in speeches because | was first in every subject, and you are nothing!"

"If it weren't for Tina's help, could you replace me? Dream on!" Audrey retorted, unconvinced.

Velma did not argue back, admitting, "You're right, without Tina, | wouldn't even pass the entrance exam for the

National Defense Academy."

After saying this, Velma glanced at Audrey, "Tina, who is she to you?"

"She's my aunt's daughter," Tina appraised Audrey briefly.

"| see." Velma noticed the clueless Reed family members behind them and clapped her hands, "Then | won't

disturb your family dinner. Be sure to contactwhen you have time, and I'll inform Shonna as soon as | get

back, okay?" "Sure," Tina nodded.

Paula White also took Velma away, winking at Tina as if she had much to say.

The two left arm in arm, and Velma remarked, "Men should not be spoiled!"

Tina smirked, realizing that Velma was the strategist for Paula White. Tsk!

Her little brother was in for it.

Audrey still looked indignantly at Tina, as if Tina was a historic sinner.

Tina glanced at her lazily and, uninterested in explaining, turned to Esther, "Aunt, about this meal..."

"Let's continue," Esther, also upset with her daughter, said, "Audrey, if you're not eating, then leave. I've raised

you for so many years, yet you're so unreasonable!"

After speaking, Esther took Tina back to the private room.

Jared was entirely supportive of Waverly Underwood, showing no displeasure as long as Tina was willing.

Juliet also cast a reproachful look at Audrey before turning back.

Only Arthur remained, he straightened his sister's messy hair, speaking earnestly, "Audrey... Tina hasn't done

anything wrong to you. They've just met, and your resentment is baseless-you think she caused our

grandparents and uncle harm, but think about it, weren't they responsible for their own demise?"

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on

the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

Knowing his sister's temper well, Arthur rubbed her head, "I know it's because of jealousy. Once | start earning,

I'll buy you all the best things in the world. You'll be cherished, sweetheart." Audrey wiped her tears and turned

to leave.

Arthur didn't insist and returned to the dining room to continue the meal with everyone.

After the meal, Griffin invited Tina to watch the next day's race.

Tina nodded.

It had been a long tsince she last attended.

Velma was on vacation these days, so she invited her too.

On the day of the race.

Paula White also calong, and Velma wore a dashing racing outfit with a ponytail that added to her heroic

look.

Like one of the racers themselves.

Tina laughed, "You really look the part."

"Of course, | even brought a pack of snacks to set the mood!" Velma said with a laugh.

They settled in VIP seats arranged by Griffin, with a prview of the racers starting and finishing, and the large

screen above providing a clear view of the race progress.

Griffin waved to Tina from a distance, with the still indignant Audrey by his side. Velma clicked her tongue, "She's

like a bad penny, always turning up." Tina, however, was indifferent; Audrey's attitude towards her did not affect

how she treated the Woodwind family. Griffin signaled a few times before getting into the race car, and Audrey

also put on the helmet that Jared had given Griffin the day before. Jared chuckled quietly. Audrey might not like

Tina, but she had no qualms about using her things.

The race was about to begin. Griffin's car was positioned third on the outer track. As the flag dropped, seven

race cars took off simultaneously. Amidst the buzzing sound, the scene elicited a wave of gasps. Tina furrowed

her brows, a trace of unease visible on her face. While Velma and Paula White were completely immersed in the

race, screaming excitedly, only Jared noticed Tina's distress. He took her hand and asked, "Tina, what's wrong?"

Tina pursed her lips, "Just now, one of those seven cars sounded off, | wonder if it was Griffin's car."

"Something sounded off?" Jared's expression darkened as he looked towards the race cars, his eyes narrowing.

"Hmm," Tina's brows remained tightly knit as she watched the screen above, her expression growing increasingly

troubled. Tina kept a close watch on Griffin's car on the screen. His driving had improved significantly. Although

he started from the back, he quickly caught up. It was too late to stop the race now; Tina could only observe

discreetly. Thankfully, along the route, there were maintenance staff checking the cars at designated points for

safety reasons.

When passing the first maintenance point, Griffin was still firmly in the lead. After a brief check, he accelerated

away from the checkpoint. However, at the second checkpoint, Griffin unexpectedly sped past without stopping.

Stopping at the maintenance point was basic for a race driver, especially on a mountainous circular track like

this, and there was no reason for him to skip it, especially in first place.

Feeling something was amiss, Tina pushed Velma down, "You stay here and keep an eye on car number three in

real-time, reporting its position at each checkpoint, got it?" Although Velma didn't know what was happening,

she saw the seriousness in Tina's expression and nodded briskly.

Tina and Jared left the venue to find the organizing committee, who knew Tina and also noticed Griffin's irregular

behavior. They handed over a rescue vehicle to Tina. On the track, Griffin furiously pressed the brake, but it

failed to respond. Audrey panicked, "What's happening? Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago?"

"How the hell would | know!" Griffin had intended to stop at the maintenance point, but he simply couldn't slow

down! Audrey looked ahead, saw the mountain looming close, closed her eyes, and screamed, "Ah! Help!"
