Chapter 851

Claire nudged Owen, prompting him to circle his bike around to face them.

“What’s going on here?”

His voice drew the immediate attention of Buzz’s crew and the two girls.

“Mind your own business!”

Buzz had vaguely heard rumors about this guy-someone he supposedly shouldn’t

cross.

But he was past caring.

These two women had bruised his ego, and he was determined to teach them a lesson.

“You’re a joke,” Owen scoffed, staring Buzz down. “Your skills are trash, so you try to start a fight afterward. If you can’t handle losing, don’t get on the track.”

Buzz flushed with humiliated rage. “Who says I can’t handle losing?”

“I just wanted to make friends. How was I supposed to know these two would be such stuck-up bitches? We all run in the same circles, we’re bound to run into each other…”

Claire cut him off before he could finish.

“Then you need to get used to having inferior skills. If we’re all in the same circle, you’ll eventually get used to losing all the time, won’t you?”

“You-!” Buzz hadn’t expected someone with an even sharper tongue. What did she mean, he’d get used to losing? He was just off his game tonight. If he had driven normally, there was no way he would have lost to a woman.

“Don’t act so indignant,” Claire said coolly. “Never mind that Mina already beat you do you want to bet I could beat you, too?”

“You can’t honestly be arrogant enough to think you’re invincible, can you?”

Her words instantly set him off. “You think you can beat me? Who the hell do you think you are?”

She was just some arm candy Owen had brought along. Just a plaything trying to act tough.

His gaze was downright filthy, enough to make Owen’s expression darken.

Claire, however, didn’t bat an eye. She placed a calming hand on Owen’s arm and looked at Buzz with absolute composure. “Tell you what. Let’s head back to the starting line and do a lap.”

“If you win I pay you the

half-million-dollar prize money. But if you lose ” Her eyes swept over him. “You’ll wear a sign, run a lap around the city limits and publicly admit you’re a second-rate driver

“And from now on, you will excuse yourself from any event Mina Rhodes attends.”

The stakes were thrillingly high, completely wiping the sneer off Buzz’s face.

He was completely blinded by fury. Anyone in their right mind woulde have paused to wonder why she was so confident to propose such a wager, rather than just glaring at her with venomous hatred.

“Fine. And if you lose…” Buzz leered at Claire’s radiant complexion.

He almost blurted out that she would have to sleep with him for a night.

But catching the murderous look on Owen’s face, he swallowed the

words. He knew the extent of the

Churchill family’s power,

actually slept with Owen’s girl, he would be blacklisted from the scene forever.

“What’s Owen putting up for collateral?” In his mind, she was just clinging to the Churchill heir.

Owen would have to back her wager. If the price was too high, she’d likely piss off her sugar daddy.

Buzz looked dumb, but he was calculating. If he beat Claire, he might offend Owen, but wouldn’t she be the one burning bridges with her backer?

After paying out on her behalf, Owen would definitely take his frustration out on her.

If he couldn’t get his money’s worth, he’d be furious.

Perfect—let the rage flow. Buzz operated under the assumption that all men were as sore losers as he was.

“A million dollars.”

Owen offered with a cold smirk. Instead of stopping his cousin from acting impulsively, he was actively enabling her.

Besides, he knew Claire well enough by now. If she didn’t have the skills to back it up, she wouldn’t have challenged him in the first place.
