Chapter 40:
Harlee spotted Adelina and Phoebe in the audience. Somehow, Adelina had managed to appease Phoebe despite the earlier incident.
Even though Phoebe wore a frown, she didn’t turn down Adelina’s friendly invitation.
Harlee glanced at them before turning her gaze away. They didn’t matter to her at all.
Adelina and Phoebe couldn’t help but notice Harlee, who sat comfortably in the exclusive stands. Jealousy and displeasure washed over them.
“What’s she so smug about? There’s no way she has a black card,” Phoebe said through clenched teeth.
Adelina pressed her lips together.
Her eyes were full of resentment, and her words were suggestive.
“This racetrack lets members bring guests who can enjoy the same benefits. Maybe Harlee was brought here by someone with a black card?”
“That’s got to be it!” Phoebe exclaimed, slapping her thigh in frustration.
“Who knows where she found someone so important?”
The others with them felt just as envious. Why were they not as lucky? Black card holders were people they might never meet in their whole lives.
Adelina smiled, pleased with their reactions.
Her voice was full of spite.

Her words struck a chord with Phoebe and the others. Their jealousy quickly shifted into contempt.

“And she continues to act so virtuous. It’s disgusting!”
“What did she have to do to get a big shot to bring her here?”
Collin’s expression shifted, and bitterness colored his words.
“What a disgusting woman!”
Collin had always tried to get close to Harlee, but she had shown no interest in him. The assumption that she was off being someone’s plaything for money was truly shameful!
As Collin took in Harlee’s stunning looks, he regretted not taking a chance on her before.
At least he could have had her and then discarded her.
Phoebe scoffed in annoyance.
“What does she know about racing? She’s just here for the show.”
“Exactly! She’s probably here to entertain her sugar daddy and grab some attention.”
“I didn’t expect her to be such a scheming bitch.”
Their comments grew harsher, as if being cruel could erase their earlier embarrassment and restore their pride.
The first race served as a warm-up for the professional racers.
Many familiar faces filled the track, the kind often seen on television.
“That’s Alleyn! He just won the Landmassia Championship not long ago.”
“And look, there’s Nicky.
