“Sure! I’ll be there with my priciest cars!” promised Jordan.

“I can even fly there with a helicopter, let alone a luxury car,” said Felix.

“I know the best how to be showy,” said Zac.

“The cars in my garage are getting dusty. I’ll bring all of them,” said Harris.

Sylvia explained, “I wouldn’t have troubled you with such matters if it weren’t for Ms. Alicia. She is the second daughter of the Stewart family. She insists on competing with Lord Caspian to find out whose

Everyone in Southlake City knew about that now.

“Oh? How arrogant. How dare she compare herself to Lord Caspian? She’ll only bring disgrace to herself.”

“Is she stupid?”

“We’ll be sure to crush her when the day comes!”

The heirs expressed their views.

Sylvia reminded them, “Alright. That’s all. I have other matters to attend to. You’re all reputable figures in Dhord City. You should know what to do when the time comes.

“Remember, you and your cars must be in Southlake City on the morning of the 30th. Don’t act on your

own whims!”

“Oh, Willow. Are we not allowed to visit you just because? But, indeed, we do have something to talk to

you about,” said Henry. He smiled awkwardly.

“What is it?” Willow asked.
