Chapter 347
Miranda had a playful grin on her face, maintaining her position right in the middle of the pack.
Hugo was determined to put some distance between them. He floored the gas pedal, convinced he was about to lap Miranda
But as he believed Miranda was way behind him, there she was, keeping up with him effortlessly, the same distance as earlier. How was that even possibles
It wasn’t just Hugo who was shocked, the other racers were equally stunned. Hugo might have missed it, but they had seen it happen.
As Hugo accelerated through a curve, Miranda, who had been smoothly blending in with the rest of the cars, suddenly surged forward, executing a breathtaking drift to take the bend!
The speed was mind–blowing! Sparks flew from the tires as they screeched across the asphalt! And from that point on, she maintained the exact same distance behind Hugo’s car!
Yes, the exact same distance! No matter how fast Hugo went, he couldn’t shake her off!
“Wow! She can drift?!”
“Did you guys notice? She never slows down for the turns! That drift was epic!”
“Is she sure she’s not a professional racer??”
Even Carter was taken aback.
“That’s insane.”
Sure, anyone who raced knew how to drift. But not everyone could master it with such precision.
And to drift at the speed Miranda was going? Even professional racers would find that challenging. At that speed, most people would have already crashed!
Just then, Jasper returned. He arrived to the electrifying atmosphere of the race track.
The roaring engines sent adrenaline surging through everyone’s veins as the cars raced lap after lap. Especially the first and second cars, which were neck and neck, neither giving an inch.
He approached and asked, “Where’s Miranda?”
Carter gestured with his chin. “Over there.”
Carter had been planning to step in if Miranda lost. And if he lost, he wasn’t about to admit defeat. But he hadrit expected Miranda to be such a skilled driver Why hadn’t she overtaken yet?
“What?” Jasper asked, confused, looking at the track again. “Which one is Miranda?”
The manager immediately pointed to the car currently in second place. “Sir, that one.” Jasper watched just in time to catch another stunning drift.
“Holy cow!” he exclaimed, “Who’s in first place?”
“It’s Mr. Hugo Bartley.”
The manager quickly filled Jasper in on the bet that had been made earlier. Jasper nudged Carter, who was watching the race with great interest. “Did they mess with Miranda?”
Carter nodded mechanically. “Yep, the other day at the shooting range, Miranda gave them a good thrashing”
Jasper was speechless. Miranda had just arrived in Virell, and already she had stirred up so much trouble? How could he have missed this? Weint
Usually, Jasper was the first to know about the happenings in the Virell social circle. But this had occurred just a few days ago. Jasper had been busy settling into Virell and dealing with company matters.
Besides, Hugo and his crew were too embarrassed to spread the word. Even the guys from Zephra had kept quiet to avoid causing Miranda any trouble
As a result, the incident hadn’t made the rounds yet.
All that was known was that some newcomer had taken on a whole group at the Virel! Shooting Range and left Hugo and his crew nursing their bruises The story was too wild to be believed, so it hadn’t spread very far.
The chatter among the guys over the comms was deafening. Hugo could hear it all too. He turned incredulously to look at Miranda, who was still right on his tail. “She can drift?? Are you kidding me??*
“No joke, man, see for yourself!”
