Chapter 47: Ducky Rides a Motorcycle
The employees stared at Caleb.
“Mr. Fu, do you have a cold?”
“Mr. Fu, should you go to the hospital? You look pale…”
Their concern only darkened his mood.Before Yan could scold them, Caleb walked towards the exit.Yan opened the car door.
Mr. Fu, I’ll have those slackers in the lobby disciplined and their wages docked!” Caleb sat in the car, radiating coldness. His gaze landed on Yan.
“Are you trying to publicize me as Evelyn’s terrible ex–husband?”
Sweat trickled down Yan’s forehead.He stammered, “N–no sir!There are just a lot of negative comments online.”
He showed Caleb his phone. The top trending topic was #EvelynJiangExHusband. Caleb sneered. He never imagined he’d become famous because of Evelyn.He didn’t bother looking at the comments; he disdained the opinions of the masses.
If Evelyn won the finals…he might magnanimously offer her a high–paying job at Fu Corp.
Nash.
His phone rang
“Caleb, there’s race tonight at Zhongxiu Mountain.I want

to take Ducky.”
“Caleb, you don’t trust me to take Ducky on a mountain road at night, so come too.Remember what today is?”
Nash struck a chord.Today was Sunny’s birthday. Caleb had funded the Zhongxiu Mountain race because of Sunny’s love for racing.
“We’ll race on the ground; Sunny can see us from above,” Nash said, a glint in her eye.She knew Sunny’s death was a deep wound for Caleb; mentioning her would soften him. Caleb needed an outlet.It was his sister’s death anniversary.
He agreed.“Fine. I’ll take Ducky. We’ll leave in half an hour.”
Nash and Ducky both cheered.Caleb knew Ducky had become attached to Nash. With Caleb’s grandmother involved in the bribery case, Caleb had advised her to keep a low profile. She wasn’t disciplining Ducky; the maids couldn’t control him.As long as Nash’s influence wasn’t causing major trouble, Caleb let it be…
He
put down his phone. He hadn’t driven in a long time; he’d indulge himself for half an hour tonight.
Nash beamed, “Your dad agreed to take you to Zhongxiu Mountain to watch the race!” Ducky was thrilled.“Nash! You’re my only brother! I never dreamed Dad would take me to a
race!”
He added, “Compared to that country bumpkin, you’re, amazing!”

Nash chuckled.
“Do you
vour
know mom’s being bashed online?”
Ducky corrected, “That woman isn’t my mom anymore!”
Nash’s smile deepened.
Ducky asked, “Why is she being scolded?”
“Evelyn cheated to win first place.People are saying her win is fake! She couldn’t possibly have won fairly!”
Nash opened Weibo, intending to show Ducky the comments, but the top trending topic was #EvelynJiangExHusband.
She clicked on it, then froze.The bloggers who’d accused Evelyn of cheating were issuing apologies. Half the comments praised Evelyn’s beauty; the other half sympathized with her for her terrible ex–husband.
Nash’s breath hitched. Her hand trembled.
“Nash?” Ducky whispered, seeing her terrifying expression.
Nash snapped back, smiling sweetly, “Do you think your mom is prettier, or am I? Ducky paused, and Nash’s smile vanished.
“Nash is prettier!”
Satisfied, Nash relaxed.“Let’s forget about her. Want to try driving a motorcycle?” Ducky’s eyes widened. “Really? But the handlebars are so heavy…”
Nash patted her chest. I’m here! We’ll ride together. Once it’s steady, you can control the handlebars. You’ll feel like you’re flying!”
Ducky was ecstatic.“Yes! Yes!”
Nash was the best.She let him do whatever he wanted, unlike that ‘country woman” who always controlled him.
Since Evelyn left, Nash had taken Ducky to skip school, ride motorcycles, and experience the thrill of speed.She even took him to bars and let him drink.She taught him how to fight; he wanted to beat Zoey.
Nash sped down the highway, another motorcycle riding beside them. A camera attached to the second bike filmed them.
When they reached 100 mph, Nash let Ducky grab the handlebars and steer. *(This scene depicts dangerous behavior.Please do
