Chapter 22
Their enigmatic exchange baffled the onlookers, sparking chatter.
“What are they discussing? Can’t catch a single word.
”

“Didn’t you see? Moonshadow signaled her not to unmask.

Roused from his reverie, Declan glanced at Eliana next to him, masking any trace of emotion.
“Usually, racers would have left the track by now, not stand there chatting.
”
Savoring a sip of freshly-served champagne, Declan continued, “Mr.
Mitchell would be furious if he knew about this blunder.
”
Eliana inquired, “Is Mr.

”
Taking the last gulp of his champagne, Declan replied dispassionately, “He’s a recent addition to Mitchell Group but quickly became an uncontested leader.

His gaze returned to the intriguing drama unfolding in the arena, as if seeking a distraction from the unease settling within him.
The pre-race interaction between Hannah and Bryson had been a lingering irritant for Declan.

“I detest being manipulated.
”
The man looked like he was going to say something, but Hannah had already snatched up her mask.

She tossed the mask aside, gripped her helmet, and extended her hand toward the man.
“Your skills aren’t bad, though.
Maybe we’ll have a rematch someday.
”
The man stayed quiet, eyeing her open palm, and then burst into laughter.
Hannah’s brow furrowed.
She had braced herself for an insult, but instead, he took off his mask.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
