This place was called Deadman’s Road.

The mountain was steep, the road was narrow, and the turns were many and sharp!

Only desperados enjoyed racing here!

Sophia Shaw never imagined Warren Collins would be so insane as to bring her uncle here!

As the cars entered a series of consecutive turns, Warren Collins, on the inside lane, didn’t just refuse to slow down—he sped up!

Inertia threw the rear of his car high into the air, sending the entire vehicle into a drift!

Yancy Shaw had no choice but to accelerate along with him!

CRASH!

On the final turn, the front of Yancy Shaw’s car slammed into the rear of Warren Collins’s.

Warren Collins shot forward, but Yancy Shaw wasn’t so lucky. His car crashed into the road barrier!

"Uncle!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Sophia Shaw and Leah Evans felt their blood run cold as they rushed over together.

Yancy Shaw was badly injured, his head covered in blood.

He swayed as he tried to start the car again. "Can’t... The company can’t..."

"Uncle, don’t move!" Sophia Shaw held him down.

Seeing him like this, her heart twisted in agony.

"Trust me, I’ll convince Warren Collins to take back his demand."

Yancy Shaw looked at her.

Sophia Shaw nodded firmly. "I have something he wants."

Only after hearing her say that did Yancy Shaw finally collapse back into his seat.

Sophia Shaw turned to Leah Evans. "Help Uncle into the car and get him to the hospital, now!"

Leah Evans didn’t dare hesitate. She quickly moved Yancy Shaw into the other car, then looked at Sophia Shaw. "You..."

"Just go!"

Yancy Shaw had hit his head, and not knowing the extent of his injuries, Leah Evans couldn’t afford to delay. She jumped into the car and sped away.

Sophia Shaw walked toward Warren Collins.

He was leaning against his car, having taken off his helmet, lazily blowing a stray lock of hair from his forehead.

His gloomy face wore a smirk of satisfaction.

When Sophia Shaw approached, he didn’t even give her a proper glance.

Chad Jennings appeared out of nowhere, bowing and scraping as he offered Warren a cigarette.

Seeing Sophia Shaw approach, Chad Jennings’s expression darkened. "Sophia, Yancy Shaw has already lost. From now on, I’m the one in charge of Swiftstream!"

"Go back and tell your uncle to keep his head down!"

"If he dares to stir up any more trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

With sixty percent of the shares, he was now the undisputed boss of the company.

Kicking Yancy Shaw out would be a piece of cake!

But Chad Jennings didn’t want to do that.

He wanted to use this power to torment Yancy Shaw to death.

How many times had Yancy Shaw made him run with his tail between his legs!

He wanted revenge!

Just imagining the sight of Yancy Shaw, tormented by him into a pathetic mess, made Chad Jennings incredibly excited.

Sophia Shaw looked at Chad Jennings with cold eyes.

’The smug look of a petty man relishing his moment of power is truly vile!’

"What? After running the Sherman Family’s company into the ground, you want to ruin another one?"

The blatant sarcasm infuriated Chad Jennings.

"Watch your mouth!"

"Did I say something wrong?"

Sophia Shaw had nothing but contempt for this father of hers.

"If you hadn’t stolen money from Mom, who knows how many rounds of bankruptcy liquidation the Sherman Family would have gone through!"

Chad Jennings was speechless. "..."

"What do you mean ’stole’? Your mother and I ran that company together, so a share of that money was rightfully mine!"

"Your uncle took the company, I took the cash. It was perfectly reasonable and legal!"

Chad Jennings was the epitome of a scoundrel.

’It’s a waste of time talking to someone so shameless.’

Sophia Shaw ignored him and walked up to Warren Collins. "Mr. Collins, a proper race is best two out of three. My uncle only competed against you in one round."

Warren Collins finally deigned to look her in the eye. "And?"

"I’ll race you for the remaining two."

"You?" Warren Collins laughed, his eyes filled with thick, untamable arrogance. "You know how to race?"

"How could she?" Chad Jennings didn’t want Sophia Shaw wasting any more of his time. "Mr. Collins, don’t waste your time with her. Let’s just sign the contract."

He then turned to glower at Sophia Shaw. "As your father, I’m advising you not to do anything stupid. A man like Mr. Collins isn’t someone you can afford to provoke!"

"Now hurry up and go home!"

Sophia Shaw didn’t move.

Chad Jennings was extremely annoyed. "Sophia Shaw, is there something wrong with your head? Are you deaf?"

"Even if you want to race, Mr. Collins doesn’t have time for you."

"Sigh, no wonder Vincent Grant doesn’t like you. You’re so dull. How could any man possibly like that?"

"You should learn from Joanna. She knows how to handle people. Vincent dotes on her so much, he even put up the money for us to acquire the Shaw Family’s company!"

As Chad Jennings praised Joanna Sherman, he looked at Sophia Shaw with utter disappointment, as if she were a lost cause.

An unexpected barb pierced Sophia Shaw’s heart, followed by a wave of intense pain.

It was excruciating.

’Vincent Grant is truly ruthless.’

’Giving Joanna Sherman money to acquire the Shaw Family’s company!’

’All she did was get a little revenge, and in return, he pushes her uncle to the brink of death!’

"If you don’t shut your mouth, do you believe I’ll refuse to divorce him for the rest of my life?"

Sophia Shaw stared coldly at Chad Jennings, her eyes filled with absolute resolve. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I’ll drag it out just to make Joanna Sherman’s life hell!"

"You!"

Chad Jennings was furious, but he didn’t dare provoke Sophia Shaw any further.

No matter how powerful Vincent Grant was, he couldn’t just bypass the Grant Family backing her.

If Sophia refused to yield on this marriage, the Grant Family wouldn’t either.

No matter how angry he was, he could only shut his mouth.

The world was finally quiet.

Sophia Shaw took a deep breath and looked back at Warren Collins. "Mr. Collins, it’s true that I don’t know how to race."

"So, let’s have a simpler race."

"And how would this simple race work?" Warren Collins looked at her through the smoke, a flicker of interest finally appearing in his eyes.

"We drive straight at each other. The first one to stop, loses!"

"A game of chicken?" Warren Collins looked at Sophia Shaw, surprised.

This gentle, sweet-looking girl in front of him seemed as soft as a piece of candy; she didn’t look like the type to wager her life.

Sophia Shaw nodded firmly. "Yes. We bet our lives."

’Interesting. This is very interesting!’

It had been a long time since Warren Collins had encountered anyone or anything this interesting.

Sophia Shaw said, "If I lose, you can sell the company’s shares to whomever you wish."

"If I win, you sell the shares to me."

Warren Collins smiled.

"Are you sure about this? The result of betting your life could very well be losing it."

Sophia Shaw replied, "I’m sure."

"Alright!"

When Chad Jennings heard that Sophia Shaw was going to wager her life, he burst out laughing. "Sophia, who are you trying to kid? A game of chicken? Don’t tell me you’re just going to cry in your car when you see Mr. Collins’s car coming at you."

"You should just save yourself the embarrassment."

"I’m just giving you some kind advice, for the sake of our father-daughter relationship... Hey, hey, HEY... What are you doing?! AHH!"

Chad Jennings never dreamed that Sophia Shaw would drive her car straight at him.

She was fast and aggressive, her eyes filled with killing intent!

Chad Jennings screamed in terror, collapsing to the ground. He tried to crawl away but couldn’t get up.

Sophia Shaw’s car screeched to a halt just inches from Chad Jennings’s toes.

A few more inches and his legs would have been crushed!

Chad Jennings suddenly felt a rush of warmth between his legs.

He had pissed himself!

Sophia Shaw reversed the car.

It was as if the little interlude had never happened.

She quietly looked at Warren Collins.

Across the way, Warren Collins gave the fallen Chad Jennings a meaningful glance before hopping into his car.

VROOM!

The engine roared to life, its wheels gripping the ground and kicking up a spray of sand and gravel.

The next moment, it shot toward Sophia Shaw like an arrow loosed from a bow!

Sophia Shaw blinked, then started her car as well.

The two cars charged toward each other at top speed!

One hundred meters.

Eighty meters.

Fifty meters...

"Isn’t that Warren Collins?"

From a row of cars parked off to the side, Vincent Grant, Jenson Forrest, Jordan Sherman, and Justin Hughes emerged.

The four of them had come to race.

Joanna Sherman had said she wanted some thrilling excitement, so they had chosen this place.

Joanna Sherman knew that Warren Collins was supposed to be racing Yancy Shaw. Seeing this scene, she assumed the person in the other car was still Yancy.

She smiled, unconcerned.

Chad Jennings felt like he’d just cheated death.

Seeing the group approach, he quickly used his jacket to cover the embarrassing state he was in.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Joanna Sherman asked, feigning ignorance.

"Uncle Jennings, who’s so bold as to go head-to-head with Warren Collins?" Justin Hughes asked curiously.

He was a regular racer and knew that Warren Collins was famous for being fearless.
