Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 167

"You've finally made up your mind, sweetheart," Asher said as he breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were going to insist on staying out of the competition."

Lola was suddenly incredibly grateful that she had made the right decision. Asher would have definitely grown suspicious of her if she kept avoiding showing off her modification skills.

"I'm just worried about letting everyone down since it's been a long time since I joined such a competition," she said, smiling bitterly.

She had no other choice since the situation had escalated to this point. She had to accept the challenges first and foremost. She would then observe the situation and react accordingly. The one thing she definitely had to do for the time being was learn as much about modification as possible.

But Lola knew that no matter how hard she studied, she definitely wouldn't be able to reach Quake's standards based on her own capabilities. When she thought about Noelle being the real Quake, she couldn't help but bite her lip, feeling a little confused and guilty.

Noelle hadn't reacted at all ever since Lola took on Quake's identity. If Noelle were truly Quake, she would have tried to expose Lola a long time ago. However, Lola had Quake's schematics and access to Quake's chat applications, which should be more than enough to prove that she was the real Quake.

Lola suspected that Noelle hadn't made a move for so long because she wasn't actually Quake. Noelle might have just accidentally obtained the USB drive before she stuffed it into the doll, or perhaps someone else had stuffed the USB drive into the doll, leading to Noelle coming across it by accident.

Perhaps Noelle didn't even know the true value of that USB drive. It was probably why she didn't react at all despite how Lola kept appearing in public using Quake's name. She would definitely fight Lola to regain Quake's identity if she were indeed Quake.

The more Lola considered her hypothesis, the more she thought it was true.

Since Lola had decided to accept the challenges, she posted a message online using Quake's name.

"I've decided to accept the challenges because I don't want to let everyone down. I'm going to defend Stonegate's honor even if I have to put my life on the line."

The netizens flooded her comments section the moment she posted the message. Most of them were supportive of her decision to accept the challenges. Many automotive companies in Stonegate also joined the fray, expressing their willingness to contribute to the competition.

As Quake's boyfriend and the representative of Miller Group, Asher was appointed as the executor of the modification challenge. Meanwhile, the National Racing Association would host the competition.

The Millers would officially be contributing to the country by getting involved in the modification competition. Although they had to provide money and manpower, Miller Group's stock market price kept rising after they announced that they were the executor of the modification competition.

Asher was over the moon with joy, thinking that he had really lucked out in this situation.

It didn't take long for the automotive companies in Moriane to make their announcements. They declared that they would travel to Stonegate in a week's time to challenge Quake. That way, Quake wouldn't have to exert herself by travelling to Moriane.

Novara Group, the first company to issue a challenge to Quake, also reminded her to relax and take care of her body. She needed to build up her strength to participate in the modification competition in a week's time, after all.

Sweat beaded all across Lola's body as she read the news. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place and would incur the animosity of the people whether she did or didn't participate in the modification competition.

She didn't know how to protect Quake's reputation in the face of the Moriane automotive companies' fierce challenges.

Noelle would still be by his side if he hadn't divorced her for Lola. Thunderscape Group wouldn't have deteriorated the way it did and would have only become better and better. Zayne also wouldn't have gone blind.

Tears streamed down Clifford's face. He hugged Zayne and said, "I'm sorry, Zayne. I was wrong. I shouldn't have raised my voice. Can you please forgive me?"

Zayne was also crying, feeling a little scared. "I'm hungry, Dad. Can you get me something to eat?"

The housekeeper was in charge of watching over Zayne when Clifford wasn't around, but she would sometimes forget to feed him.

Zayne didn't dare complain about her to Clifford because she had threatened to ignore him completely if he told Clifford about what was happening. If that were to happen, he would have no choice but to fend for himself, and he might even starve to death.

He was still a child, after all, so he believed in the housekeeper's threats. From that moment onward, the housekeeper began to slack off even more when it came to taking care of him.

It was why Zayne was starving at that moment.

Clifford wiped his tears away, saying, "I'll make something for you to eat. Wait here."

He then rose to his feet and stumbled toward the kitchen.
