Chapter 123: Evelyn’s Surprise
The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief after posting the video. “Mr. Reed, I’ve posted Savannah’s apology.”
He refreshed Savannah’s Moments to see Caleb was the first to like it. Caleb showed Evelyn the post.
Evelyn stopped the stopwatch on her phone. Without a word from Caleb, she signed the statement of forgiveness and handed it to the police.“I hope she gets her 999 likes soon,” she said with a smile.
Before Caleb could respond, she added, “And I’m looking forward to Vincent and his team with Savannah in the competition. The real show–with you and Savannah’s reputations in tatters–is yet to come!”
He looked down at her, a condescending smirk on his face.“So you know about Vincent.” His eyes narrowed at Celia. He suspected Celia had told Evelyn about his hiring of the Moon Racing Club’s engineering team for Savannah.
Evelyn addressed the officers.“Please ask Mr. Reed to leave. As his ex–wife, I don’t welcome him in my life.”
The officers were eager to avoid further trouble.“Mr. Reed, let’s go.“Ms. Hayes, thank you for the statement. We won’t disturb you further.”
Evelyn said, “The statement doesn’t mean forgiveness. Just like Savannah’s two apologies don’t mean genuine remorse.” She smiled at Caleb.“See you at the race~*
The casual smile on her face left Caleb momentarily dazed. It reminded him of the expression she had whenever she’d prepared a surprise for him. But they were divorced. What kind of surprise could she possibly have for him now?
Race Day:
An hour before the opening ceremony’s exhibition race, the stands were packed. Savannah’s usual crowd of wealthy young men settled into their VIP seats.
“Why are there so many women here today?” one commented.
“Following the trend! They don’t understand racing. They’re here for the photo ops, using their boyfriends‘ money to post on WhatsApp,” another scoffed.
“I’m excited to see Savannah! Caleb hired the Moon Racing Club’s engineers and mechanics. She’s confident about winning,” a third added.
“If she gets top three or five, I’ll add her back
or five, I’ll add her back on WhatsApp!” said another.
Elsewhere, reporters interviewed spectators.
“Who’s your favorite racer?”
“Luna!”
Several older women crowded the camera.
We’re here for Luna! When we heard she was racing, we flew in from Australia!”

Luna’s debut inspired us to learn to drive! I drove myself here from Florida! Reporter Mona addressed the camera.“Statistics show that in the year Luna became China’s top female racer, the number of women applying for driver’s licenses in first and second–tier cities increased significantly. The number of women getting racing licenses quintupled the following year! Five years later, Luna returns to the Washington track. Fans from all over the country are here to cheer her on. Let’s look forward to Luna’s comeback!”
“Excuse me! Coming through!”
A large group suddenly appeared in the race’s backstage area. They carried bright lights, cameras, and tripods, forcing other staff to step aside. Savannah was surrounded. “Click! Click!” A photographer
A photographer knelt, adjusting his lens for different shots.
Savannah, in a heavy racing suit (though she’d removed the jacket, tying it around her waist, accentuating her figure), wore a Ferrari cap and smoky eye makeup. She posed by the race’s promotional poster, fluffing her hair as flashes exploded around her.
The commotion attracted attention.
“Who is she? She’s making a big fuss. She doesn’t look like a celebrity,” one worker whispered.
Another, arms crossed, scoffed, “She’s the sponsor’s darling. Savannah, the amateur racer who bought her way into this.”
The exhibition race wasn’t official, but racers chosen for the opening ceremony were usually internationally renowned, retired champions, or major figures in the racing industry. Savannah’s inclusion raised eyebrows.
Investigation revealed she was a minor internet celebrity, recently gaining massive attention (and controversy) with videos of a five–year–old boy riding a motorcycle. Many reported the videos.
But her agency was under Reed Corporation, and as the CEO’s sister–in–law, she had powerful backing, effectively silencing critics.
Last week, a bombshell hit the racing world: Caleb had spent a fortune hiring the entire engineering and mechanic team from Moon Racing Club for Savannah. The industry was stunned.
Savannah had hired professional photographers and stylists to create an image. She planned to release a vlog of her participation in the international race, ensuring viral fame. She reveled in the controversy, attributing it all to jealousy.
