The video replayed on a loop, each frame showcasing Eva's undeniable victory. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a defeated sigh escaped his lips. "Alright, fine. You win." "Can I have the car keys now?" Eva held out her open hand in front of Xian. "Surely the future heir of Senna Group wouldn't deceive a simple country girl like me?"Xian's jaw clenched tight. Each beat of his heart hammered a painful reminder of his promise. Eva's words hung in the air, a challenge he couldn't refuse. A surge of anger, fueled by frustration and heartbreak, flared within him. "Fine!" he spat, the word laced with bitterness. He tossed the car keys at Eva, the metal glinting coldly in the light. The weight of his sacrifice settled heavily on him, a constant reminder of the promise he kept, but the heart he broke."This Bugatti Veyron is a limited edition, s
Eva's Audi struggled to keep pace with the lightning-fast Bugatti Veyron.Meanwhile, Blake silently trailed behind them in his black Ford, keeping a vigilant watch over Eva."Eva, it's not over! You can pull out. The bet doesn't matter. I'll handle Xian." But the only response was the continuous howl of the wind, a chilling reminder of the breakneck speed and the immense distance separating them.Eva could barely hear him. She was focused on racing and didn't even bat an eyelid at him.The growl of the engine resonated through Eva's core, a primal rhythm that quickened her heartbeat to a frantic drum solo.

"Ugh, this is getting old," Eva muttered, her gaze flickering towards Xian. "Ready to ditch, Jenny?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of defiance. "We've said our piece, and clearly, it's not landing."Xian, misinterpreting Eva's frustration as fear, puffed out his chest, a smug smile spreading across his face. His arrogance only fueled Eva's resolve to leave a lasting impression, one that wouldn't involve wasting another minute on him.A harsh voice sliced through the air. "Scared, are we, Eva? Used to a lavish lifestyle thanks to Blake, now manipulate other men to get what you want. Shame on you!"Eva froze, the comment a sucker punch to the gut. It was a low blow, designed to trigger insecurity. But as the sting subsided, a steely resolve settled in her eyes.Eva, ever the pragmatist, knew arguing with Xian was akin to wrestling a pig - messy and ultimately pointless.

"Miss Lowes," the reporter began, her voice carrying a mix of admiration and curiosity, "you've not only led World Group to a resounding victory today but have also etched your name as the youngest and most successful female architect in the industry.
