Chapter 5 Venting My Emotions

When Lora uttered those words as a probe, she tried her best to make it sound like a joke, wearing a mischievous smile on her face. All the while, her heart was exploding with nervousness.

But while Lora was nervous, Mr. Valentine didn't show much expression on his face. Reaching out, Chris gently patted Lora's head, "Lora, stop fooling around!"

Feeling a chill in her heart, Lora responded, "You only see me as Lora."

"Isn't that true?" Mr. Valentine raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, fine. Now that you have a wife, just don't neglect me," Lora remarked.

"Never," Chris said, gently running his fingers through Lora's hair, his words full of affection.

Then, he stood up from the sofa. Rosen brought a black overcoat and draped it over Chris's shoulders.

"We have a social event tonight, so please behave," Chris instructed.

"Okay," Lora obediently nodded.

She sat up straight, watching Chris leave, waiting until the sound of the engine came from outside, and her whole body relaxed. She was sweating nervously, feeling tense.

But as she thought about what Chris had just said, her gaze dropped, unable to hide her disappointment. At that moment, Dr. White, who had previously left, hurried back.

Just as he was about to speak, Lora gave him a meaningful look, glanced at the surrounding servants, and intentionally said, "Dr. White, I don't feel well. Come upstairs and check on me."

"Alright."

In front of the servants, the two of them spoke and went upstairs to Lora's room.

Once the door closed, Dr. White immediately asked, "Miss Scott, what's really going on? Weren't we supposed to arrange for Sophia to leave with her daughter? How could this happen..."

Lora calmly replied, "If both the mother and daughter left together, Mr. Valentine would become even more suspicious. So I had Sophia take a different route. If, unfortunately, she was to get caught and brought back, she would be a witness, proving that her daughter was with her last night."

"But Mr. Valentine has already sent people to Argentina. As soon as Sophia's daughter gets off the plane, she will be immediately captured," Dr. White expressed his concern.

"Sophia's daughter's name indeed went to Argentina, but the girl, had already changed her name and, she went to France," Lora revealed.

Upon hearing this, Dr. White couldn't help but admire her. She was becoming a cunning little fox raised by Chris, and the astute Dr. White couldn't match her.

But Lora turned her head, looked outside the French windows, and spoke calmly, "Dr. White, I have made the arrangements. Someone will release Sophia at 7 o'clock tonight. She has helped me greatly, so I need you to go and ensure her safe departure."

Dr. White nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Lora toyed with the curtains' tassels while gazing at the view of Crystal Mansion outside. The mansion was located in the outskirts of Mantua City, occupying the entire northern suburbs, akin to a modern palace.

In Mantua City, no one dared to show anything but fear and reverence when Mr. Valentine was mentioned. However, even the fear, and trepidation, towards Mr. Valentine couldn't stop the entire city, how many young girls and socialites coveted the identity of the mistress of Crystal Mansion?

"Dr. White." Lora suddenly spoke up, "Do you believe that in the future, the mistress of Crystal Mansion, the one in Chris's heart, will be me."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with confidence and pride. She knew, at least for now, she could be by Chris's side. As long as she was by his side, their future together was promising.

One day, she would become the woman standing by Chris's side.

With this in mind, Lora turned her head and proudly raised her chin to look at Dr. White.

Dr. White was dumbfounded upon hearing these words. It took him a while to come back to his senses when Lora turned her head, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, Dr. White finally said, "I wish you, Miss Scott, every success."

"Don't bother, your most annoying trait is your insincerity. You clearly don't want me to be the mistress of Crystal Mansion."

Dr. White felt awkward. “Miss Scott”…"

"Enough, leave. I'm going out." Lora clearly didn’t want to discuss it further and walked away from the sofa towards the exit.

Dr. White was surprised, "Miss Scott, where are you going?"

“To vent my emotions.”

Upon hearing this, Dr. White immediately caught up, "Miss Scott, Mr. Valentine has instructed that you can't do this!"

The most famous attraction of Sitges Mountain in Mantua City was a section of racing track on the mountaintop. It was steep and winding, and it was the favorite spot for underground racing enthusiasts in Mantua City.

On weekends, this place became a carnival for racing enthusiasts. It was eleven o’clock, the finish line of the racetrack was engulfed in two flames, while referees and spectators on the sidelines cheered and screamed madly.

As the engines of the racing cars roared, the blue and black Bugatti and the red and black Ferrari fiercely competed, surrounded by constant screams, creating an intense and thrilling scene.

Just as the Ferrari was about to overtake the Bugatti, the Bugatti, which had been trailing by three seconds, suddenly accelerated and drifted beautifully, breaking through the finish line, ending the race.

Applause erupted all around, and the cheerleaders rushed to the Bugatti, shouting and screaming for it. The car door opened, and a person wearing a black racing suit with a helmet got out, exuding a handsome posture.

When the person removed the helmet, the surrounding screams grew even louder.

“Chris, you’re amazing!”

"Chris! Chris!"

“Chris, I want to marry you!”

Amidst the constant noise, the person, who was called Chris, had neat short hair and a handsome appearance. And she was Lora!

The main reason she disguised herself as Chris and played with cars was that she didn't want to reveal her true identity. Plus, when a girl raced, she was always harassed, but when a man raced, he could harass others. Lora reminisced about the times when she felt the closest to Chris.

Lora’s thumb was placed near a woman's chin, it rested on her lips. The woman leaned down and kissed her thumb, causing an even louder scream from the crowd.

This action directly angered the owner of the Ferrari, who opened the car door and charged towards Lora, pointing and yelling, "Chris, how dare you! You dare to touch my woman so openly!"

"We made a deal. I won, so the woman belongs to me. If I don't act arrogant, how can I face you?" Chris provocatively replied.

This statement incited the Ferrari owner even more, causing him to rage and take off his helmet, smashing it on the ground. He had the looks of a young man, who although handsome, currently wore an expression of anger.

As Lora looked at this man, she added a sentence in a mocking style and so infuriated the man, "Remember, the loser has to run naked around the Mantua City moat!"

"You!"

"Let's be true to the bet, Mr. Carter. Are you thinking about reneging?" Lora followed up swiftly.

Upon hearing Lora's words, the people around started to make a commotion.

"Strip!"

"Take it off!"

Enraged, the man referred to as Mr. Carter kicked a nearby motorcycle over, shouting, "Why are you all screaming?"

The scene instantly fell silent, everyone looked at each other, clearly afraid of this Mr. Carter.

Lora, on the other hand, showed no fear at all.

"Could it be that our renowned Mr. Carter wants to back out of his promise? If this gets out, won't it become a big joke?"

"Chris!"

"Chris," a female voice interjected from the side, followed by the appearance of a beautiful woman slowly walking out of the crowd. She wore, a little, black dress and carried herself with great arrogance.

As she came out, she was different from those seductive women, she was like a shining goddess. If she were to have a label put on her, it would be: ‘the nation's first love’.

When she approached Lora, she said arrogantly, "Chris, spare me some face, let this matter go."

Leaning against the car, Lora lit a cigarette and looked at the woman in front of her with a playful expression, "Alright, Miss Scott, if you publicly kiss me, then your brother's matter will be dropped."

After Lora's teasing remark, the scene once again burst into whispers and noise.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

"Kiss! Kiss!"

"Chris, you're going too far!" Mr. Carter directly reprimanded.

Lora tilted her head and raised an eyebrow, "If you don't want to kiss, then you can run naked. I bet Mr. Scott from the medical family would not be so cowardly as to let his sister take the blame."

This remark made Mr. Carter's face even darker. This was completely humiliating him! But to let his sister kiss Chris? That was even more embarrassing!
