Chapter 318

Over the next few days, Victoria kept picking up Gwyneth after school right on schedule, but McNeil was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, Yasmine began liquidating her assets. Yet no matter how much she sold off, it wasn't enough to save V&S Group.

And as for K, after that day, he vanished completely.

But at least she'd managed to find out where he lived, and that was a start. The most important thing she'd learned, though, was that besides his obsession with video games, K also had a thing for car racing.

She'd tried to pay him a visit, but when she rang the doorbell, no one ever answered.

Now, there was only one place left where she might find him: the racetrack.

Victoria staked out for days, waiting for the right moment. Finally, her patience paid off-there was a mid-level race event at Starfall City, and she got herself inside using a few special privileges. K was a die-hard F1 fan, but he rarely raced himself; usually he just hung out with his favorite drivers, grabbing dinner or drinks.

As soon as she stepped onto the track, she spotted him. K was laughing and joking with the captain of one of the teams—they looked like old friends.

Victoria kept to the sidelines, waiting for her chance. When the race finally ended, she managed to cut K off before he could leave.

"K, why have you been avoiding me?" she demanded.

She'd been trying to track him down for ages-he'd blocked her number out of the blue, and wouldn't even open the door when she showed up at his place. After all the dinners she'd cooked for him for nearly a week, didn't she deserve at least a little respect?

Paul was chewing gum, giving her a sideways glance. "Me, avoiding you? Why would I do that?"

He shot the question right back at her, which only made Victoria more annoyed. "If you're not avoiding me, why did you block my number? And why wouldn't you open the door when I came over?"
