Anything For Her

Chapter 979 Slander

“How is this possible! How can this be?” Lily’s people could hardly believe what had just happened.

The second-place winner zoomed past. The driver got out of the car at the finish line.

“Ms. Sanders got into an accident. You should go to her quickly! Nobody knows if she’s alive or dead!”

Lily’s people immediately piled into a car and hurried toward her when they heard those words. How could Ms.

Sanders get into an accident? What’s going on here?

At that moment, Sophie walked up to Tristan and the others.

Tristan sat her down and handed her a tissue to dry her sweat.

“Thank you!” Racing was an exhausting sport. It tested both her concentration and coordination. She felt drained,

physically and mentally.

“That’s good. You only took thirty-nine minutes.” Sophie had broken the record.

“Sophie, where’s Lily?”

“She was right behind me! I don’t know what happened, but someone had poured gasoline on the track!”

Sophie was not the kind of person who would harm others, but that did not mean that she was an easy victim.

Besides, this act affected the other racers as well.

“What? Gasoline on the track?” Ysabelle exclaimed in a fury. That Lily really is nuts!

“Does she have a death wish?” Bertram asked angrily. What on earth was she thinking? Every race is a matter of

life and death!

The track was already dangerous enough by itself, but Lily had deliberately upped the perils of the track. It was

clear that she intended to take Sophie’s life.

“Bertram, go see if there’s any suspicious-looking person lurking around.” They must be fully prepared.

Otherwise, someone would take advantage of their ignorance.

Lily had no principles and no honor. She had lost this time, but she would definitely not let them go so easily.

“Sure, Mr. Tristan. Leave it to me. I’ll get to it right now.” Before they make an attack, they need to know just how

strong the enemy is.

Not long after, Bertram found a surveillance camera.

“Mr. Tristan, I have bad news. The surveillance camera records had been deliberately erased.” Now, no one would

know for sure who had poured the gasoline on the track.

“Bring me the laptop!”

As long as there had been some record of it, she would find a way to restore it.

Bertram immediately handed the laptop over to Sophie. As soon as she saw the remnants of the tampered video,

her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing furiously.

Felix was not surprised. Sophie was a skilled hacker.

Something like this is too easy for her!

Not long after, Lily managed to recover the video. At that moment, Lily returned from the track injured. Her face,

which was ugly, to begin with, looked even more terrifying with it all bloodied up.

“Ms. Sanders, you had won two out of the three rounds, but now…” someone commented.

“Yes, that’s right! Ms. Tanner won the race this time. From now on, Ms. Tanner will be the one who calls the shots in

Fandar. I think everyone would agree.”

When they heard this, the crowd looked enraged.

But Ms. Tanner is so young! She’s only in her twenties! So, now she gets to be the boss in Fandar? This is too much!

Lily’s face contorted into an ugly expression. Do these people really think so highly of Sophie?

“She’s too young! It’s not appropriate for her to be our boss! After all, we’re handling big businesses and important

deals!” Lily looked down upon Sophie. She believed that Sophie would be too weak to bear the responsibilities

required of her.

“What do you mean by that, Lily? You were the one who agreed to the race in the first place! Are you regretting

your decision now that the people have elected their new leader, and it’s not you?”

Words could not be taken back once they had been spoken. It was unacceptable for Lily to go back on her word.

“You-” Lily had not expected all these people to take Sophie’s side, nor had she thought that she would end up

fighting alone. “I’m willing to admit defeat, but this race was faulty! How could there have been gasoline on the

track? If it weren’t for that, how could I possibly have lost?”

“What do you mean? Are you saying that Ms. Tanner was responsible for the gasoline on the track?”

“I have my suspicions,” Lily said, dragging Sophie’s name through the mud.

Ysabelle fumed at her insinuation.

“What did you say, Lily? Are you such a sore loser? So what if there was gasoline on the track? Sophie still won fair

and square! Besides, you were the one who poured that gasoline!”

Lily’s shamelessness disgusted her.

“How dare you accuse me? Ms. Lombard, I know you’re friends with Sophie, but you must have evidence before

you can say such things. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise, what? What are you going to do? You accused Sophie of pouring the gasoline. Do you have proof of

that?” Ysabelle snapped back at Lily.

“Evidence? What other evidence do I need? Who’s the one who benefitted the most from the gasoline on the track?

Isn’t it obvious?” Lily countered, still insisting that it was Sophie’s doing.

“Was it really Ms. Tanner? Her racing skills were already outstanding! There was no need for her to play such dirty

tricks!”

“I think so too!”

“Then, who poured the gasoline? If Ms. Tanner had not warned me, I would have died in a terrible car crash!”

“You’re right! It was Ms. Tanner who had warned us! I don’t think she was the one who did it!”

“She must have warned you because she felt bad for pouring the gasoline!” Lily said in an icy tone while staring

pointedly at Sophie.

The other leaders glanced at Sophie, but no one said a word. It was good that they kept silent instead of putting

ideas in each other’s heads.

“Think about it! I’m a racing champion! How could I possibly have lost? But I did lose, so…” Lily let her sentence trail

off suggestively.

“That’s impossible! Our goddess is perfect. How could she have possibly done such a thing? I’ll never believe it.”

“That’s right! Our goddess is skilled. Just because she’s beautiful, it doesn’t mean that she does not have

substance!”

The people whispered furiously to each other.

“We’ve all been together in Fandar for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of a person I am yet? Would you

rather believe this little girl over me?” Lily asked provocatively.

She was confident that Sophie had no evidence of who had poured the gasoline. So, all she had to do was convince

the people that it was Sophie who had done it. Nobody would care to figure out the truth.

“Ms. Tanner, do you have anything to say for yourself?” one of the leaders asked.

It was true that Sophie was too young for the role. They would be ashamed to let her lead them.

Sophie had been busy restoring the tampered videos, and at that moment, she was finally done.

“Lily, did you think I was so easy to bully? Is that why you keep picking on me?”

Do I seem like an easy target to others?
