Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 193

A screeching brake tore through the racetrack, and all eyes snapped toward Noelle's car. To everyone's shock, her car had stopped at the Norland pit stop. Right then, the rear tire of her car came completely loose. The crowd was stunned. Noelle's tire had fallen off?

But the Norland crew reacted quickly. They immediately rushed over to replace the tire. After all, if they did not, their schedule would be delayed once their own team's car came in.

In racing, tire changes had to be lightning fast. Even ten seconds was considered slow and would cause ridicule. So, the Norland crew did not dare slack off. More than a dozen staff members worked frantically, and in just eight seconds, the tire was replaced.

Noelle gave them a brief nod of thanks and drove back onto the track. Because of the mishap, she had already lost precious seconds. She could not waste another moment.

From that moment on, every move she made was flawless. Step by step, she carved her way through the crowd of racers and eventually surged far ahead of the pack. The others were dumbfounded. Noelle really did have skill.

When the qualifying race ended, Team Stonegate ranked sixth overall. That meant they would start in sixth position in tomorrow's official race. The Stonegate team was ecstatic. It was definitely worth celebrating.

But Noelle immediately went to find the Norland crew. When her car had pulled into their pit stop, she had seen Derrick rush over first to help change her tire. It was only after he started that the rest followed suit. Without him, she might have lost much more time.

But even after becoming a racer, he never got the chance to compete. All he could do was change their tires, and that left Noelle with a bitter taste.

Of course, even if Noelle had not gone to them, the Norland team would have sought her out. A tire change was not free. With labor and parts, the cost easily ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. There was no way they would let Team Stonegate off without paying.

The manager of Norland's team, Charlie Dean, greeted Noelle with a smile. "Ms. Quinn, tough luck today. Your car lost a tire right after the start. Was it because your crew lacks the technical skills? Do you need us to give them some pointers?"

Noelle knew well that in an international race, such a major failure would not happen unless there was serious negligence or poor skills. If she had not noticed the problem in time, with the wheel coming off and the track as slick as it was, she could have been flung right off the circuit.
