Chapter 68
Cecilia’s provocative words seemed to transform into expressions of fear and an attempt to back out when they reached Jackson’s ears.
Initially, he remained somewhat uneasy, but he swiftly regained his confidence and proceeded to sign the bet-on agreement after hearing Cecilia’s words.
Following that, he repeated Cecilia’s exact words back to her. “I’ve already signed the agreement. If you lack the courage to sign the bet-on agreement with me, you still have the opportunity to regret it,” he challenged Cecilia.
There were numerous witnesses present, all of whom eagerly stretched their necks in curiosity to catch a glimpse of the bet-on agreement’s terms.
“What did Cecilia wager with Mr. Yancey? Even Mr. Quinn has become involved,” someone inquired.
“I heard she’s betting on a race against him, and the stakes are rather substantial,” another person replied.
“Challenging Mr. Yancey in a race is like inviting trouble, isn’t it? Not to mention that they’re adding a bet. She’s really bold,” someone commented.
“She’s using the Racing Master’s car for the race, perhaps that’s why she’s so confident. By the way, does anyone know the specifics of the stake?”
The chatters continued.
Amidst the discussions among the onlookers, Cecilia. confidently signed her name on the agreement.
She then handed the bet-on agreement to Matthias and said, “Mr. Quinn, I believe it’s best for you to safeguard this agreement.”

Matthias accepted it and replied, “I’ll reveal the contents of the agreement later. The racing competition will be held the day after tomorrow. Please make thorough preparations.”
Upon hearing this, Jackson was taken aback and inquired, “The racing competition is a national-level grand final. Contestants are only qualified to participate after undergoing selection processes at all levels, and the list has already been announced. How is Cecilia planning to take part in the competition?”
The racing track served as the venue for the competition. Although Matthias was the chairman of the racing track, he lacked the authority to introduce any contestant directly into the grand final.
“You don’t have to worry about that, Mr. Yancey. International Automobile Federation would provide an explanation when
the time comes.”
In other words, Cecilia joining the grand final was a sure thing.
Matthias disregarded Jackson, who still had many questions, and departed with the bet-on agreement in hand.
He even dismissed the group of onlookers who came to be witnesses of the signing when he left.
Since Cecilia couldn’t drive the car that day due to certain components of Cecilia’s racing car needing replacement, she was preparing to leave, but Jackson intercepted her.
“Why have you been granted entry to the grand final?” Jackson inquired.
He sensed that things were slipping out of his control, and he began to suspect that the bet-on agreement he had signed might be a trap.
“You’ll find out tomorrow.”
After saying that, Cecilia pushed Jackson away and left the racing track with Christopher.
Jackson watched Cecilia’s retreating figure and consoled

himself, “I must be overthinking it. This girl has been in Quilton for three years and has never even touched a racing car. Even if she had some prior experience with racing, her skills can’t be that great.”
Upon hearing Jackson’s statement, the individuals who had previously competed against Cecilia quickly shared their opinions.
“Mr. Yancey, Ms. Yancey’s driving skill is quite good.”
“It’s not just good; it’s outstanding, definitely better than Harold,” one commented.
Upon hearing this, Jackson swiftly turned his gaze toward the speaker.
What do you mean?”
Those individuals then recounted the day they had a race with Cecilia in great detail.
Jackson was astonished when he learned that Cecilia managed to overtake Harold in just two laps even though she was driving the worst car on the racing track.
“Are you certain you didn’t embellish any details?” Jackson inquired skeptically.
“We wouldn’t dare to do that, Mr. Yancey! If you doubt our words, you can review the track’s surveillance video,” one of
them replied earnestly.
Jackson remained skeptical and refused to accept their account. Without any hesitation, he headed to the security room.
After viewing the video, he was left speechless for a considerable duration.
Even though he had witnessed the events firsthand through the video, deep down in his heart, Jackson continued to resist believing it to be true.
This was because Cecilia’s driving skill was not merely good. It

was extraordinary and on par with his own.
Observing Jackson’s shocked state, the security team leader inquired in a low tone, “Mr. Yancey, would you like to watch it again?”
That person’s voice rendered Jackson regain his composure after the initial shock. “No, there’s no need,” he replied.
After uttering those words, he exited the security room and headed to the track to practice driving as if he were preparing to face a formidable adversary.
“I will never allow myself to lose to Cecilia!” he thought.
When he was speeding away on the tracks, the terms of the bet-on agreement were publicized.
Jackson was the most renowned figure in the motor racing industry, and the stakes of the bet-on agreement he had entered into with Cecilia were captivating. Consequently, the contents of the agreement quickly circulated all over the Internet.
The agreement’s popularity quickly overshadowed the major news about Kenton.
The comments section was buzzing with activity, and public discussion overwhelmingly favored one side.
[Is Cecilia out of her mind? Why would she enter a bet-on agreement with the five-time consecutive champion, Mr. Yancey? Isn’t she asking for trouble?]
[While I sympathize with Cecilia’s situation, her current actions are undeniably foolish!]
[Did she consume too much fake alcohol and lose her senses? Otherwise, why would she confidently engage in such a bet?]
[She seems to be a classic case of being driven by resentment. Car racing relies on actual skills, not having influential support.]
[Let’s not rush to judgment just yet. Cecilia has pulled off surprising victories before. It could be the same this time.]
The moment someone posted such a comment, they instantly drew criticism from other netizens.
No one had faith in Cecilia’s ability to overcome the predicament. While they scorned her excessive
self-assuredness, they also eagerly anticipated her inevitable defeat.
At this moment, Cecilia was casually scrolling through the comments on the internet.
When she noticed a comment that sided with her and a familiar username, she couldn’t help but smile.
The next second, she received a call from Evan.
The smile vanished instantly, and her expression turned serious.
She gazed at Christopher, who was at the wheel, and remarked, “Pull over ahead. I need to take an important call.”
Christopher glanced at Cecilia’s phone, but she quickly turned the screen face down.
“Okay.”
After answering her, he parked the car on the side of the road.
Before the car came to a complete stop, Cecilia opened the door and stepped out. She then walked toward a corner where no one else was present.
The moment she answered the call, she could hear Evan’s furious shout on the other end.
“Ceci, you’re becoming bolder by the day. How dare you attend the racing competition without informing anyone? Do you realize that it could jeopardize your identity?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he grasped her intention, and his voice turned incredibly grave.

“You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You intended to use yourself as bait to lure out the mastermind from three years ago.”
Cecilia didn’t deny it and explained in a guilty tone, “Evan, the mastermind is well hidden. Luring our enemies out seems like the best strategy.”
“But you will be in danger!”
“Evan, I’ll be fine because I’m not fighting alone now.”
Evan had been keeping an eye on Cecilia’s movements and had noticed her growing closeness to Christopher recently.
As a senior commander of the Peacekeeping Forces, he was aware of Christopher’s past involvement in the forces and -Considered him trustworthy.
However, he understood that having one more trusted person did not necessarily eliminate the danger.
“Ceci, remember what you learned three years ago. Even if everyone around you is trustworthy, accidents can happen at any time,” Evan cautioned.
Cecilia’s expression turned serious. She pressed her plump lips tightly together, and her eyes flickered with pain.
“Evan, I understand your concerns, but I have to find the person behind this. It’s not just about me. It’s about the safety of all the Shaw family as well.”
Back then, the mastermind knew about her connection with the Shaw family and planned to use her as leverage to threaten Evan, who was the senior commander of the Peacekeeping Forces.
For that purpose, they had bribed an insider and orchestrated. a plot that resulted in the deaths of the entire small team.
The weight of those five lives felt like heavy stones resting on Cecilia’s heart. If she didn’t uncover the truth and apprehend those responsible, she could never lead a normal life.

Besides, the safety of the Shaw family depended on eliminating the mastermind.

Evan knew that once Cecilia made up her mind, there was no changing it. He couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
“Ceci, if you insist on taking these risks, I won’t try to stop you. However, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you discreetly, and please don’t refuse this,” Evan said.
Cecilia quickly agreed to the suggestion as she knew that was Evan’s biggest concession.
“Alright, but please don’t allocate too many resources for my protection. Two people will suffice.”
“I’ll send four people.”
Evan hung up the phone without giving Cecilia a chance to refuse.
At the next moment, Christopher, who had been waiting in the
car for Cecilia, heard his phone ringing.
