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!"
