The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 619

Simone’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “What happened?”

Just mentioning it seemed to ignite something in Sherman—his expression turned animated, even a little awestruck.

“A drove straight through the gap between the two teams’ cars. Not a single scrape—he never even brushed against the others! But here’s what’s really wild: you know Henley? He went after A, but couldn’t catch up!”

Simone and Aurora were best friends; Aurora was a racer herself, so Simone knew a thing or two about the sport.

She stared at Sherman, astonished. “Isn’t Henley supposed to be the top professional driver? There’s actually someone he can’t beat?”

Aurora jumped in to explain. “If it had been a one-on-one race, Henley might have beaten A. But team events are a whole different game. It’s not just about who crosses the finish line first—the points are awarded based on team rankings. So even Henley can’t just blaze ahead on his own; he’s got to work with his teammates.”

If you can’t cooperate, you’re simply not cut out for team racing.

Sherman nodded in agreement. “Aurora’s right. In terms of sheer skill, A isn’t Henley’s match. But after the race devolved into chaos, Henley chased after him anyway. Don’t underestimate Henley—he was behind, but his driving is on another level. A couldn’t shake him. Just as Henley was about to catch up, A swerved into the city streets.”

Simone leaned in, completely hooked. “And then?”

Sherman grinned. “A’s driving may not be quite up to Henley’s, but he’s smart—really smart. He used the city traffic and the twists and turns to lose Henley. That’s no small feat. Henley’s been unbeatable for years; no one’s ever taken him down. Sure, A used his environment to his advantage, but a loss is a loss, no matter the circumstances. Henley’s been obsessed ever since, trying to dig up anything he can about this A.”

At this point, even Sellers couldn’t stay silent. “So who is this mystery racer—some hidden legend?”
