Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 196

Jude glanced at Noelle. They had known each other for years, so the moment she stood up, he knew what she was about to say.

His expression turned serious. "Ms. Quinn, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't worry about who's here. If it weren't for you, our team wouldn't have even made it into the top six. On behalf of the team, I owe you an apology."

At those words, everyone lowered their heads.

Although some still disliked her presence, they couldn't deny that Jude was right. If Noelle hadn't stepped in, they might still be stuck trailing at the very back of the pack. By then, even those bastards from Norland would have been the first to sneer at them.

Her face was cold as she said firmly, "I don't believe this was a simple mistake. I'm demanding a full investigation into the incident."

Jude froze. He thought they had already brushed the matter aside. He hadn't expected her to press for the truth.

Before he could speak, other drivers from Stonegate jumped in.

Cassandra was the first to protest. "Ms. Quinn, are you suggesting this was sabotage? Don't you think you're being a little paranoid? Everyone here wants you to succeed. Why would anyone want to see you fail?"

Jody nodded quickly. "Exactly. Ivan didn't do it on purpose. If you insist on digging deeper, it will ruin his reputation. He's worked for this racing team for years."

Noelle didn't even bother looking at them.

Ever since she joined the Stonegate Racing Team, those two had been giving her attitude—being sarcastic, passive-aggressive, and full of resentment. She had already been more than patient with them.

She gave them no more than an icy glance. "A tire coming off right after installation is almost impossible. Even rookies don't make mistakes like that. And Ivan isn't a rookie. Which is why I believe there's something more going on here."

Her gaze slid toward Ivan and Sam. "I propose that both of them be suspended until this is resolved. If they can walk us through the footage frame by frame and explain why an experienced mechanic would deliberately leave the lug nuts loose, I'll accept it as a mistake then."

As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted in shock. Even Jude's expression changed.
