Car racing was about car skills. Only when a person’s skills were far better than the others could they
be sure to win.
Jackson was obviously not sure about it.
“Mom, don’t worry. I will do my best.”
He was the top one in the motor racing industry in the country, and he still had great confidence in
himself.
Sophia said slowly with a sullen face, “I don’t want you to try your best. I want you to win.”
The reputation of the Yancey family had been restored a little, and it could no longer be a joke for
everyone.
Jackson also wanted to win, but the result of the race was uncontrollable.
Even against an ordinary racer, he was not sure that he could win because accidents could happen at
any time.
“Mom, I want to win, too, but the result is not under my control.”
“Then, make it under your control.”
“What do you mean?”
Jackson felt that Sophia was being unreasonable. Even if he were the referee, he could not decide the
winner.
Sophia approached Jackson and said, “We can make Cecilia fail to participate or cause an accident
while she’s driving, right?” There would be manipulations in all kinds of competitions. It was a common
tactic to hurt and drug an opponent.
Jackson looked at Sophia in shock and kept shaking his head.
“I won’t do such a thing!”
He sincerely liked racing cars, and he could not do anything to

desecrate his career in order to win.
Sophia retracted her body and leaned against the back of the couch, looking lazy.
“Jackson, I know you look down on these tricks. However, can you bear the consequences of losing the
race?”
Jackson hesitated after hearing Sophia’s words.
Of course, he could not afford to lose.
It was a trivial matter to lose his stake in the racing track, but he could not accept withdrawing from the
motor racing industry forever and running a bus for ten years.
Upon seeing that Jackson was struggling, Sophia said, “Jackson, you don’t have to do it yourself. You
just need to assist.” Jackson was relieved. “Mom, what are you going to do?”
“First, try not to let Cecilia participate in the race. If that fails, then secretly give her some stimulant.”
By using the second method, Cecilia would be disqualified even if she won the race.
Jackson did not expect that he would use the means that he disdained the most one day.
“Mom, you can do either way. However, Cecilia is now protected by Christopher. She’s also on guard
for us. I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
“Jackson, like this…”
Sophia and Jackson talked for nearly half an hour before making a perfect plan.
After the conversation, Sophia talked about another thing.
“Jackson, don’t go to see Julia again. She is your younger sister. I don’t want to hear any more gossip.”
Jackson felt that Sophia’s attitude toward Juliana had changed, and right then, he was more sure about
it.

“Mom, don’t listen to Cecilia’s provocation. Although Julia is a little cu**ing, she doesn’t have bad
intentions and is still thinking for us. If we deliberately alienate her, she would be sad.”
“Is she sad? Shouldn’t we be sad? If it weren’t for her, the Yancey family would not be in a difficult
situation!”
Sophia believed Juliana unconditionally before and thought she was perfect and was her pride.
However, after knowing that Juliana had concealed her illness and tricked Cecilia into having a blood
transfusion for a year, Sophia could not fool herself that Juliana, who was raised meticulously by her,
was kind anymore.
Without the perception of Juliana being her good daughter, Sophia could see a lot of things clearly.
Naturally, she did not like Juliana as much as before.
Jackson muttered, “Julia suddenly realized that she isn’t from the Yancey family, and she would
naturally panic and do irrational things. After all, she doesn’t want to lose us.”
Sophia knew that Jackson was obsessed with Juliana and could not listen to anything.
She had to put it another way. “Jackson, for Julia’s sake, you have to keep a distance from her.
Otherwise, your scandal will come back.”
“I know. I’ll try not to see her alone in the future.”
After Jackson had finished speaking, he remembered something.
He told Sophia what Juliana had said under his coercion before.
“Mom, send two bodyguards at home to Julia. Cecilia is likely to hurt her.”
After hearing that, Sophia became more sure that Juliana was

not likely to be good to the Yancey family as she looked.
Juliana was still saying good words for Cecilia last night, but the former had told Jackson the truth that
day. Sophia thought that that was because Juliana knew Jackson cared about her and that he would
vent his anger on her. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
If Juliana had not done so, Jackson would not have sought trouble from Cecilia and signed a bet-on
agreement.
After thinking of that, Sophia became even more displeased with Juliana.
However, she hid her emotions well and agreed to Jackson’s request.
“Two bodyguards are too few. I’ll arrange four bodyguards. It is convenient to work in shifts and protect
Julia for 20 hours.”
“Mom, you’re thoughtful. I will choose four people and send them to Julia.”
Jackson was very happy, but he did not know that Sophia had done that to spy on Juliana.
He got up and left, but Sophia stopped him.
“Jackson, it’s impossible for you and Julia to be together. Give up now!”
“I know.”
After Jackson finished his words sullenly, he picked four bodyguards and went to the hospital to see
Juliana.
As soon as he walked to the door of the ward, he saw a man come out of it.
The man was ordinary-looking, with yellow hair and diamond earrings on his ears, looking rowdy.
Upon seeing Jackson and the bodyguards, he immediately lowered his head and left quickly.
Jackson wanted to stop him, but he heard Juliana’s scream and rushed into the ward.

But her
“Julia, what’s wrong with you?”
Juliana calmed down her rapid heartbeat and hid her hand, which was scalded by hot water, in the
hospital blanket.
“Jack, I’m fine. Why are you here?”
It was so close that her secret almost got discovered.
Jackson carefully pulled Juliana’s hand out of the hospital blanket and pressed the call bell.
“Bring a box of the best scald ointment.”
Upon looking at Jackson’s nervous look, Juliana said softly, “Jack, the water isn’t very hot. Don’t worry.”
“Where is the caretaker? The wound on your wrist is so deep. How can you get water by yourself?”
“I want to eat Chimes Deli’s acai bowl. The caretaker went to buy it for me and will be back soon.”
As soon as Juliana finished speaking, the nurse came in with a scald ointment.
The nurse checked Juliana’s burn and said, “Ms. Yancey is not seriously injured. The wound can be
cured by applying ointment on it for two days-three times in the morning, afternoon, and at night.”
Jackson was relieved and applied the ointment to Juliana himself. He blew the back of her hand from
time to time.
The nurse looked at the intimate couple and complained in her heart, “Juliana is hypocritical. She said
she was forced to harm Cecilia by Mr. Yancey a few days ago. They didn’t have any improper
relationship. But what is she doing now?”
If it were not for protecting the privacy of patients, she would have been really tempted to take a photo
and post it on the internet so that everyone could see how “innocent” they were! The nurse could not
stay for a moment and left in a hurry. After the ointment was applied by Juliana the cold feeling

replaced the burning pain caused by the hot water.
Juliana looked at the bodyguards outside the ward and asked Jackson, “Jack, why are the bodyguards
at home staying outside my ward?”
Jackson put the ointment on the nightstand and said, “I’m afraid Cecilia will hurt you. I purposely
brought four bodyguards to protect you.”
Then, he asked about the man who had left just then.
“Julia, who was that rowdy-looking man who went out of your
ward just now?”
