Declan laughed. Jennifer, don't overthink it. Since this is a competition, it's a level playing field for everyone. If Natalie doesn't measure up to you, that's her fault, not yours. There's no unfairness here." Natalie, you can work hard and knock Jennifer down. Someone who's so cool at racing should be just as outstanding in design, Declan thought to himself.

In the past, Declan had been blind, but now his eyes were crystal clear. Naturally, his younger sister Natalie was the better

Jennifer brimmed with confidence. Winning this competition would prove her talent to everyone.

The more she thought about it, the more exhilarated she felt. Once she exposed Natalie's laziness, it would only make her own reputation as the daughter of the Simpson family shine even brighter. Power, fame, and wealth were Jennifer's greatest desires.
