CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE

Three years after she last entered a racing competition, Serena Jennings originally thought she could just get a ranking and earn the lowest tier of prize money.

This was also her initial intention for participating in this race.

Unexpectedly, she won the championship again and broke the record.

The cheers from the audience were explosive.

Even Caleb Lockwood, who had little interest in racing, couldn’t help but comment:

"The driving skills are not bad."

"What do you mean ’not bad’? That’s exceptionally brilliant! Transcendent!" Patrick Rhodes excitedly spat, spraying Claire Shaw’s face.

"I’ve decided!" Patrick Rhodes slapped his palms together, and said earnestly to Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw: "From now on, this racing goddess Chloe Linton is my idol!"

Caleb Lockwood shrugged, "You haven’t even seen what she looks like yet. What if she’s a monster..."

"She would still be my idol." Patrick Rhodes patted his chest, righteously declaring, "There are plenty of big-breasted, brainless women, but I, Patrick Rhodes, am not that vulgar. Just based on Chloe Linton’s skills and courage... Even if she’s covered in acne, I’d still like her!"

Caleb Lockwood merely listened to Patrick Rhodes’ words.

However, Patrick Rhodes wasn’t wrong in praising Chloe Linton’s skills and courage.

The track is highly challenging in drift races, with two turns being particularly dangerous if speed isn’t reduced.

Other drivers are somewhat fearful.

Only Chloe Linton is willing to risk her life to execute extreme drift turns.

The most impressive part is that she succeeded.

Everyone present was awestruck by her daring courage and fine driving skills.

This was the first time Caleb Lockwood was curious about a woman’s appearance.

He wanted to know what Chloe Linton, the racing goddess who returned after three years and immediately won the championship, looked like.

"Here it comes, the awards ceremony is here, I’m finally going to see what my goddess looks like." Patrick Rhodes was as nervous as if he were going on a blind date.

Next to him, Claire Shaw also craned her neck.

Three racers came to the podium, but one did not remove their helmet.

It was Chloe Linton.

Chloe Linton wore a tight-fitting pure black racing suit, giving a stable yet cool impression.

Yet her slender, curvy figure added a hint of alluring sexiness to her cool demeanor.

"Why doesn’t my goddess show her face? Is she too gorgeous?"

Even though he hadn’t seen Chloe Linton’s face, Patrick Rhodes already imagined her as a stunning beauty.

"Hopefully, she’s not too ugly!" Claire Shaw joked, truly hoping that was the case in her heart.

Caleb Lockwood’s deep gaze followed Chloe Linton’s figure.

Judging by her figure alone, he thought Chloe Linton shouldn’t be unattractive.

Chloe Linton’s tall and full figure reminded him of Serena Jennings.

Even upon stepping onto the champion’s podium, Serena Jennings did not remove her helmet.

This was a pre-arranged request she made to the organizers, who agreed.

Not that she wanted to be mysterious, as she had shown her face normally when she first participated in races at the age of 14.

Back then, she was Chloe Linton.

And now, she had become Serena Jennings.

The cheers in the venue rose wave after wave.

Yet until the awards ceremony ended, Chloe Linton didn’t reveal herself, leaving Patrick Rhodes inevitably disappointed.

"The design on her helmet... Is it a piano?" Claire Shaw pointed at Chloe Linton’s helmet.

"It is! I remember reports saying Chloe Linton has always used this design." Patrick Rhodes replied.

"This piano design... feels somewhat similar to the style of the master designer from the FY piano series... Guess it was commissioned then!"

Claire Shaw muttered to herself.

In the backstage, Serena Jennings picked up her 500,000 prize money, just for tonight’s event alone.

Recently, the PY Cup is held weekly, and Serena Jennings has agreed with the organizer to participate whenever she has time.

She hasn’t participated in races many times, only a handful.

However, she won every single time, and being a woman, her presence easily heated up the atmosphere, hence the organizers always welcomed her participation.

It was late by the time she left the international circuit. Hungry, Serena Jennings found a nearby izakaya to eat.

Upon entering, she saw a row of people seated right beside the door —

Caleb Lockwood, Claire Shaw, and Patrick Rhodes came into her view.

They saw her too. Leaving immediately would seem too deliberate, as if she were afraid of them.

Serena Jennings briefly hesitated and pulled up a chair to sit beside Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood said nothing, merely lifted the corners of his lips lightly.

Claire Shaw frowned but said nothing, inwardly cursing an ever-present nuisance.

Patrick Rhodes should be the one who likes to publicly rant on Serena Jennings the most, but tonight his attention was nowhere near Serena Jennings.

"You can’t imagine how handsome my goddess was."

Not satisfied with boasting only to Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw, Patrick Rhodes turned to the izakaya owner, eagerly narrating the just-concluded racing event.

At that time, Serena Jennings had no idea Caleb Lockwood and the others were present.

She didn’t even realize Patrick Rhodes was praising her until he mentioned the name Chloe Linton.

Serena Jennings never expected that the newfound fan after her racing comeback would be the person who extremely disliked her, Patrick Rhodes.

The late-night meal was a silent affair for Serena Jennings.

Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw beside her kept chatting merrily, while Patrick Rhodes continued to praise Chloe Linton.

Serena Jennings shared the same row with the three yet seemed as if in a different world.

She ate faster than the three of them, and upon finishing, prepared to pay the bill, when suddenly Caleb Lockwood spoke:

"You didn’t return to FY..."

He certainly wasn’t asking Claire Shaw.

Serena Jennings casually retorted: "Why would I go back?"

"For your boyfriend. Didn’t he offer you a high salary?"

Caleb Lockwood deliberately emphasized the word "boyfriend."

Serena Jennings knew this "boyfriend" referred to Peter.

"I don’t need it."

Serena Jennings was telling the truth; after all, Peter’s dividends from the piano series were already high.

Patrick Rhodes chimed in nosily.

"Wow, what a show-off, as if you’re not short of money."

Serena Jennings didn’t bother to respond to Patrick Rhodes, paid the bill, and wanted to leave.

A lukewarm voice from behind caught her attention.

"It’s too late; let Patrick Rhodes take you home!"

Patrick Rhodes didn’t want to take her but changed his words right up to the moment he spoke: "Since Brother Lockwood said so, reluctantly I’ll take you home, Brother Lockwood wants to take his lady, so don’t think about it."

Serena Jennings glanced at Patrick Rhodes, who looked full of disdain, contrary to his praises for Chloe Linton.

Having such a fan, Serena Jennings was amused yet helpless inside.

"You forgot, I have a car."

What she said surprised Caleb Lockwood.

"You can drive?"

"What, would I drive without a license?"

Serena Jennings retorted.

Caleb Lockwood had always known nothing and cared little about her matters.

After Serena Jennings left, Caleb Lockwood and the others finished their meal, coincidentally seeing Serena Jennings getting into her car outside the izakaya.

It was a white BMW 3 series, newly purchased, still unregistered.

Caleb Lockwood lifted his eyelids.
