Chapter 12 The call was hung up before Astrid could say anything.
She frowned and turned the steering wheel to find Josh. Josh and Lilith were twins, and he was also the person who looked down on Astrid the most among the Cohen family.
Astrid drove to a highway at the seaside. lt was a paradise for street racers at night. Most street racers, who could afford the cars required were from affluent families, so the traffic police would normally turn a blind eye.
“Are you Josh's sister-in-law?"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
A dozen sports cars lined up on the highway. There were a few youngsters accompanied by hot and attractive girls. The scene seemed to be quite exciting
The leader was a man in his twenties. His name was Philip Jones, and he was the only son of the Jones family. The Jones family had been gangsters since Philip's grandfather, and they ruled half of the grey areas of Madoland. No one could challenge their status.
Philip was slightly surprised to see Astrid, but he was also amazed
Astrid wanted to go street racing tonight. so she wore a leather suit with a pair of Martin boots. Her curvy figure could be seen at a glance, and her long hair fluttered in the night wind.
The way she walked over was rakish and enchanting. The boys present couldn't help but swallow. Many of them even whistled. “IL told you she's my former sister-in-law. Why do you insist on asking her to come?”
"Shut up, Josh. You're just someone who's lost to me. Tonight's bet is whoever loses will lose one of his arms. Since you don't want to lose your arm, then your family should pay me to let you keep your arm.”
“Astrid, you shouldn't have come. Just get lost. I don't need you."
Josh was tied up. He felt ashamed to let Astrid see this but was also surprised that Astrid was willing to come. "Spill it. What do you want?"
Astrid ignored Josh. She walked straight to Philip with an indifferent look on her face.
"Well, since he doesn't want to lose an arm, then how about you pay 20 million dollars for it."
When Astrid heard this, she laughed out loud as if she had heard a joke.
“Philip, you shameless bastard. How could I lose if it weren't for the fact that you've cheated?"
“What are you laughing at?”
“Young man, you know that Josh is the son of the Cohen family. He's not someone you can afford to offend.”
Astrid once saw the video of Josh and Philip participating in the car race when she was in the Cohen family. With Josh's capabilities, Astrid knew that it was unlikely for Josh to lose. The
only possibility was that Philip had cheated.
“It seems that the Cohen family can't take losing.”
“How about you race me? If I lose. I will give you one of my arms and 20 million dollars."
"You?"
Philip sized Astrid up and down. Astrid was a stunner, and her figure was perfect. Philip didnt think Astrid could race, so his eyes were full of disdain. "What? Are you scared?" Astrid shrugged.
"I will race for a different price.”
A scheming look appeared in Philip's eyes.
Astrid leaned against the car calmly. Josh warned Astrid with his eyes, but Astrid pretended she didn't see it. This caused Josh's face to turn red with rage.
He felt that Astrid was insane.
Philip became more and more curious about Astrid. She looked very calm. It was as if she was confident that she could win. This made Philip want to win even more.
"What do you say?”
"If you lose, I want you to spend a night with me.”
As soon as Philip finished speaking, the people present became excited and there was an uproar. "If you lose, I want you to kneel in a live stream and apologize to me.”
“Haha! Looks like you're very arrogant. But you don’t stand a chance.”
Astrid smiled but said nothing. She walked up to Josh and glared at the people behind him.
That was when the two men standing behind Josh immediately untied him.
“Astrid, don't be so arrogant. We're not playing around here. This is serious."
Josh was frightened.
"Take it easy. You'll see.”
There were eight curves here, each challengiag the racers’ limits. = Because of the exciting paths here, many-street racers came hereto race-and there were also many aceidents here. -
More than 100 people died around here.
Therefore, this place was given a nickname, the Curve of Death.
Astrid just happened to be driving a sports car tonight. It was more than enough for her to race here.
"Philip, Astrid, remember your bet. Make sure you keep your word. Your lives are in your own hands. And everyone present can testify this race." "Ready? Start!"
A racing girl raised the flag, and the two cars darted out like rockets.

Philip's eyes were full o complaceney- He felt that he would
have a chance to taste Astrid oS tonight. Everyone said Blaze's wifé was astunner, but Philip didn't: expect Astrid to be so attractive. He now knew why Blaze hid her so well.
Astrid's car seemed to be out of control. She floorboarded at the first curve.
“Damn it. Is this woman insane? She's risking her life by driving so fast!”
The turns were getting sharper. The faster thesspeed, the easier it was to overturh> No one was an exception. This was the experience gained
rm oo. frortessons that people hac paid wits their lives. -
Josh lowered his head and dared not to watch the race. He was in a panic.
