Chapter 23

Elise took a moment to appreciate Jamie’s tactfulness before putting her phone away and continuing to

immerse herself in the exercises. Slowly, she found solving difficult questions highly fascinating as she lost

herself in the depth of knowledge.

In the meantime, Alexander was in an utterly foul mood as a result of rejection.

His assistant carefully reported, “They rejected our invitation, Young Master Alex.”

He immediately stopped whatever he was doing as his frown gave him a unibrow. His mind was constantly drifting to the scene during the car race back then. The woman’s slender figure and her stunning posture just wouldn’t leave his mind.

All this time, he had been looking for that woman.

However, that woman just vaporized, leaving no traces as she left. Regardless of the substantial amount of money he was willing to offer the woman to join him in a friendly race, she seemed to be uninterested about it,

which led Alexander to be even more invested in finding her.

“Raise it to fifty million. Get her to me no matter what it takes.”

Yes, Young Master Alex.” The assistant wiped the sweat off his forehead before silently leaving the room.

computer.

from Cittadel named Sue won the first prize and shocked the world.
