The assistant found Joe's reaction a bit odd but didn't give it much thought. With a sigh, he remarked, "The Reyes family's been on a losing streak. I bet they're going to lose again this time. I mean, how could Ms. Flora, with her petite build, possibly compete against Mr. Luke?" Joe turned to him with a flat expression. "Are you blind or something?"

The assistant was left speechless.

"The Reyes family is going to win," Joe declared.

Scratching his head, the assistant mumbled, "But that's not what you just said."

Joe turned away, clearly uninterested in continuing the conversation.

...

Out on the racetrack, Luke smirked, "Flora, why don't you call me 'big brother' and beg for mercy? Maybe then I won't make you lose too badly."

Even though Luke looked down on Flora, he couldn't help but feel a tug at his heart seeing her slender figure in that racing suit.

Without looking up, Flora replied in a lazy yet audacious tone, "Or, you could call me 'ancestor,' and maybe I'll let you lose at a slower pace."

Luke was momentarily stunned, his face darkening. "You're asking for it!"

He yanked the car door open and slid into the driver's seat, clearly irked.

Flora, calm as ever, settled into her own car.

All eyes were on Flora, more eager to see what she would pull off compared to Luke.

Finally-
