The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 619

Simone's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "What happened?"

Just mentioning it seemed to ignite something in Sherman-his expression turned animated, even a little awestruck.

"A drove straight through the gap between the two teams' cars. Not a single scrape he never even brushed against the others! But here's what's really wild: you know Henley? He went after A, but couldn't catch up!"

Simone and Aurora were best friends; Aurora was a racer herself, so Simone knew a thing or two about the sport.

She stared at Sherman, astonished. "Isn't Henley supposed to be the top professional driver? There's actually someone he can't beat?"

Aurora jumped in to explain. "If it had been a one-on-one race, Henley might have beaten A. But team events are a whole different game. It's not just about who crosses the finish line first-the points are awarded based on team rankings. So even Henley can't just blaze ahead on his own; he's got to work with his teammates."

If you can't cooperate, you're simply not cut out for team racing.

Sherman nodded in agreement. "Aurora's right. In terms of sheer skill, A isn't Henley's match. But after the race devolved into chaos, Henley chased after him anyway. Don't underestimate Henley-he was behind, but his driving is on another level. A couldn't shake him. Just as Henley was about to catch up, A swerved into the city streets."
