Chapter 1663


    "Come on, you''ve got to give Be more than just a bite to eat after the massive favor she did for you,"


    teased the long-haired girlfriend with a yful smirk.


    "Seriously, Be, don''t be shy. Just take what she gives you and enjoy it," another friend chimed in.


    "A gift less than 10 million just doesn''t cut it for Be''s special trip, right?" Kelly added with a


    mischievousugh.


    "Be isn''t like you money-grubbers," Ophelia said with a smile as she turned to Arabe, "She helped


    me out big time, for free! That''s what a true friend is. You all could learn a thing or two."


    The group teased her about being stingy and tightfisted.


    "A friend is meant to be fleeced, is that it?"


    "The esteemed Ms. Almond being so penny-pinching with her true, heart-and-soul friend?"


    "Be, once shees home, we''ll take her out and treat her to a feast on your behalf."


    The girls continued tough and joke until Ophelia said, "Alright, enough chatting. The food''s getting


    cold, and I''ve got some juicy secrets to share with Be."


    She ended the video call and eagerly loaded Arabe''s te with food.


    Arabe looked at the mountain of food in her bowl, with her eyes sparkling, "That''s enough."


    "There''s more folks outside grilling up. Once we''re done here, let''s head to the backyard for a bit more


    to eat. We can huddle up by the fire pit and warm up," Ophelia said excitedly. "I heard tonight''s race


    was absolutely electrifying – the top level in the field of the car racing."From N?velDrama.Org.


    "That''s an exaggeration," Arabe said, with her lips curving into a smile and her eyes alight with


    amusement.


    "I heard Han was so frustrated by your driving that he lost allposure and made a spectacle of


    himself. With you behind the wheel, the trophy was as good as ours."


    Ophelia had seen Arabe''s driving skills firsthand. Once, when an assassin had targeted Arabe,


    Ophelia had been with her. To protect Ophelia from getting involved, Arabe had disyed her driving


    skills, which was nothing short of breathtaking.


    They’d also raced cars privately a few times. Even though Arabe always went easy on her, Ophelia


    could tell that Arabe was leagues above her.


    For others, racing was thrilling and fun; but for Arabe, she drove like a pro only to escape danger and


    stay alive.


    That’s why she kept such a low profile, not wanting people to know about her many talents.


    "Daydreaming?" Arabe''s longshes fluttered, wearing a soft smile which denoted the intimacy of


    friendship.


    "No. Just thinking about what Candice said. She said Han was so outssed that he forced their


    team captain to step in, only to be beaten by you. For him, it''s got to be the ultimate humiliation."


    Arabe seemed surprised, "That captain is that good?"


    "An internationally renowned racer, who kept undefeated in so many races. People only know him as


    Sean because all the drivers wear helmets, and no one has seen his real face. He usually doesn''t


    bother with these underground races."


    Ophelia''s curiosity got the better of her. "Did you see his face tonight? What does he look like?"


    Without hesitation, Arabe replied dismissively, "Pretty punchable."


    "He must be really annoying then."


    "He even asked about you."


    Ophelia was taken aback.


    "You know him?" Arabe’s gaze settled on her.


    Completely confused, Ophelia replied, "Not at all. Could it be he''s noticed me because I wanted to win


    his track and open it to the public? Oh no, what if he holds a grudge against me? Do you know why so


    many people fear the Drift Kings? Even with Han messing up all the time, no one dares cross him


    because he''s got Sean backing him up."
