"It''s not just like they''re speeding; they''re actually racing."
Hearing Colby''s response, Sophie furrowed her brow and said, "That''s reckless. Racing is illegal. What if someone gets hurt?"
Colby shed a reassuring smile. "Rx, no one''s getting hurt."
Sophie was about to say more but, ncing back, she noticed that while these folks were indeed racing, they were surprisingly courteous. Whenever they encountered other cars, they''d not only give way but also sh their lights in warning. Yet, as soon as they were among their own, it turned into a fiercepetition.
Except for Odie, who was a bit of a rebel, everyone else stuck to the rules, showing off their driving skills without breaking the speed limit.
When they finally pulled up to Colby and Sophie''s new ce, what was usually a twenty-minute drive had been shaved down to thirteen minutes.
Sophie checked the time, then turned to see several cars smoothly sliding into parking spots.
"I''m first," Odie announced as he hopped out of his car.
Jenna climbed out of hers, retorting, "That''s because you cheated!"
"There were no rules against cheating," Odie shrugged.
"You!"
Adler quickly stepped in to calm Jenna down. "Jenna, let it go. If we don''t count Odie, you''re the real winner." Jenna pouted, clearly unsatisfied..
Elodie and Griffin also got out of their cars, followed by Harold, with Booker and the rest arrivingst.
Once everyone was gathered, Jenna remarked, "Colby, when did you get Sophie such a huge mansion?"
Holding Sophie''s hand, Colby replied, "This is our new home."
"Our new home... Wow, isn''t it a bit much? We''re crashing your ce before you''ve even moved in."
Despite his words, Adler was already darting around the yard, checking everything out.
"Dinner''s ready, let''s head in."
Sophie unlocked the door with her fingerprint, revealing a massive living room with a round table. brimming with a feast, all prepared by a chef she''d specially hired.
Everyone settled in their seats.
Jenna, looking around in awe, said, "This living room is amazing. We can even y cards here after dinner."
Adler wandered over to a TV, spotting thetest PS5, and eximed, "Wow! You even have a PS5? Colby, do you y?" "This is literally my dream house," Jenna said, yfully punching Adler''s arm. "Get me one, or I''m not marrying you." "Alright, alright! If a house is all it takes, consider it done! If you''ll marry me, I''ll buy you ten!"
Everyone burst intoughter.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Sophie filled everyone''s sses with red wine, saying, "Thanks to all of you for your help these past days. I just want to take this moment to express my gratitude."
Adler chimed in, "No need to be so formal. That Joseph guy wanted to take us all down, and we couldn''t just stand by and watch." Jenna added, "Let''s toast to our hard-earned friendship!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their sses, but just as they took a sip, Jenna sighed, "It would have been perfect if Angelo and Sandy were here." Her words cast a slight shadow over the mood.
Adler spoke up, "Nothing we can do about it. Kiran took off, and Sandy probably went with him. I mean, Sandy is Kiran''s sister; he wouldn''t harm his own sister, right?"
"It''s strange, I dreamt..." Sophie began, but stopped as she saw everyone looking at her, unable to finish her thought.
