Chapter 124

Kingston and Olivia were about to cross the finish line. Henry clenched his jaw. ‘No way I’m letting them win, he thought. If worst comes to worst, I’ll take out Olivia and make sure she never gets back up.’
Anyway, in his eyes, there was no difference between men and women.
Just as Henry was about to put away his phone and take action, the camera caught Shermaine launching off her board mid- air. ‘Holy shit, that’s badass!‘ he thought. Even though her face was just a blurry outline, her move was downright epic and totally blew him away.
Right after Shermaine emerged, Joshua followed close behind. The two of them pulled off sick aerial tricks one after
another.
Henry whistled in admiration at their return. Both landed with flawless precision–every movement crisp and efficient, not a single wasted motion.
Overtaking Kingston and his team sealed the deal. That prize was now guaranteed.
The moment Olivia saw Shermaine, she saw her share sprout wings and flew right past her.
But wasn’t D Area supposed to be a total maze?
So how come they were not lost?
And now they were even way ahead of her team!
Besides, weren’t they supposed to jam the signal in D Area? Even with GPS on, it shouldn’t have worked.
Kingston totally screwed her over. Not only did she lose a lot of money, but now she had pissed off both the York and Jean families.
Olivia cursed inwardly, ‘Damn it!‘
Her face darkened with frustration.
Suddenly, a wave of snowflakes came rushing at her, forcing her to brake sharply.
As for Kingston, who was ahead of her, he had no way to dodge. Snow blasted his face, and without goggles, it got right into his eyes. Blinded, he lost his balance and crashed straight into her.
In the next instant, the two of them wiped out, tumbling down the slope together in a chaotic heap.
They rolled all the way down before finally coming to a stop.
Olivia ended up sprawled right on top of Kingston. Despite the thick snow, it still hurt like hell.
Kingston had it worse. After all, she had way more experience on the slopes than he did.
He slammed into the ground, his protective helmet coming off as he rolled. It must have hit something sharp. The cracked shell now lay beside him, and his blood seeped into the pristine snow, staining it a vivid crimson.
Meanwhile, hand in hand, Joshua and Shermaine soared past the finish line before gliding to a halt.
Shermaine saw the two of them wipe out. It looked pretty bad. She turned to Joshua, never expecting him to be so vengeful.

That wave of snow that splashed up and sent them tumbling was all his doing.
She had to admit, his fiercely protective streak made her feel warm inside.
Henry had seen this coming. In his experience, the more refined and gentle a man looked, the more of a real devil in disguise he was.
Joshua was the textbook example of that type. One could never imagine just how ruthless he could be when dealing with his enemies.
Olivia got to her feet and said with resignation, “Mr. Wright, we lost.”
Blood dripping into his eyes, Kingston shoved Olivia away, his expression dark. “Cut the crap. I know already.”
Seeing his dark expression, Olivia wisely stepped aside, not wanting to provoke him further.
Staff quickly rushed over to check on Kingston’s condition. Luckily, it wasn’t anything too serious, so they stopped the bleeding first and sent him to the hospital to check for a concussion.
At worst, it was just a mild one, and a couple days‘ rest should do the trick.
Though he did dislocate one arm in the fall, a doctor could easily pop it back into place.
Joshua, still clad in his ski boots, walked slowly up to Kingston. With a smooth tone, he said, “Sorry, I just wanted to show off some moves for Sheary; didn’t mean to take you both out by accident. Don’t worry. I’ll cover your medical bills.”
Kingston’s medical bills were nothing. First things first, he had to cough up that five billion
Shermaine stepped forward, standing demurely beside Joshua, a stark contrast to her carefree grace on the slopes just moments before.
She smiled sweetly and said, “Mr. Wright, I don’t really need the mansion. Just wire the money to my account.” Then she added, “A check works too.”
