Chapter 999
Jamie couldn't withstand it anymore and snapped at her, saying, "Hey! That's enough! I don't care if
you talk sh*t behind my back, but this has nothing to do with Narissa. How dare you blame her when
she has done nothing?"
"Are you sure about that? You and Alicia would have already been together if it weren't for her. Do you
know that Alicia has been crying every day because of what Narissa did?!" Suella raised her voice as
she spoke, and many passers-by turned to look at them.
At that, he clenched his fists and furrowed his eyebrows deeply. His expression was one of pain.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Seeing that Jamie was quiet, Suella pushed her luck and
rolled her eyes at Narissa. "Some women are born to become wh*res. All they do is take away what
others love. That is just disgusting!"
Narissa was never a coward, so there was no way she would keep quiet about this accusation. "I'm
going to count to three. After that, you will either take your words back or apologize to me."
"Why should I, though? Are you afraid of letting people know what you've done?" At that moment,
Suella didn't know what was coming for her. She stood up and purposely towered over Narissa as if
she had a better figure than her.
"What are you going to do if I don't apologize? Are you going to hit me? Go on, then. I bet you don't
have the nerve to—ah!" Before Suella could finish her words, Narissa kicked her to the ground. In that
split second, her head slammed against the couch before she sprawled across the ground.
After that, Narissa dusted off her hands and looked at the passers-by with an innocent look. "You guys
heard it, right? She asked for it. This is my first time hearing such a bizarre request," she said.

On the other hand, Alicia quickly rushed over when she saw that things were getting out of control. "Are
you alright, Suella? Come on, let's get you up." As she spoke, she helped Suella up and tried to drag
her away. "Quit fooling around. Let's go!"
"I'm not leaving!" Suella swatted her hand away. "Why should we leave when we've done nothing
wrong? The person who should be leaving is that b*tch! She should be in jail and receive punishment
for stealing your man!"
"Shut up!" Jamie stared at Alicia. Eventually, he went on a rampage. "Who are you calling a b*tch? First
of all, I came to Wegas because of Narissa, and only then did I meet Alicia. If you insist on who came
first, that will make Alicia the third wheel! I didn't want to say this, but you left me with no choice! How
can you accuse someone when you are unaware of the truth? Alicia is a good woman, but it is a shame
that she has a friend like you!"
Suella was speechless as she stood there nervously while Jamie scolded her. She couldn't say a word.
Initially, Alicia told her she was heartbroken and that there was no chance of her being with Jamie.
Thus, when she saw Jamie becoming close to Narissa a few days later, she thought that Jamie had
cheated on Alicia and dumped her; little did she know there was another story to this. After hearing
what Jamie had said, Suella knew she was in the wrong.
"Let's go, Narissa." Jamie knew that his words would embarrass Alicia, but there was nothing he could
do since he had to make things clear. Then, he decided to leave since staying here would only worsen
Alicia's mood even more.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Alicia's eyes as she watched them leave.
Beside her, Suella had her suspicions as she looked at Alicia's reaction. Alicia knew Jamie was in love
with another woman, yet she tried to get in between them. Does that mean she wanted to snatch Jamie
away from Narissa from the start? Yeah, that's about right. After all, she is the daughter of a wealthy
family, so she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She didn't admit it because she wanted
to keep her reputation.
As Suella thought about it, she felt like she understood Alicia. Then, she suggested, "If you are still in
love with him, just go for it. It looks to me that Jamie still has feelings for you. Plus, that woman has a
bad temper, so they're bound to break up soon. Only a few people get to be happy, and you'll be alone
forever if you don't take matters into your own hands."
However, Alicia didn't want to compete against anyone. "Let's not talk about this ever again, Suella,"
she said. With that, she went into the washroom.
Suella looked at Alicia before glancing at the entrance, a thoughtful expression on her face.
The Taggert Family owned a small business, and she was the only daughter in the family. Thus, to
have her married to a wealthy family, her family sold everything they could to have her study abroad.
Unfortunately, Suella couldn't catch anyone's fancy while studying in an international school. Luckily for
her, she had made friends with Alicia just before graduating.
Everyone knew that rich people befriended those who were on par with them. Hence, as long as Suella
was on good terms with Alicia, she wouldn't have to worry about not hooking up with the riches.
I can't keep being around Alicia without doing anything. Otherwise, she'll cast me away. However, this
is a great opportunity for me to make things work. If I can hook them up together, Alicia will think of me
as her savior. When that happens, the whole Heidelberg Family will be at my service. As the saying
goes, hard work always pays off. I have to think of a way to get Jamie to fall in love with Alicia!
On the other hand, outside the restaurant, Jamie held Narissa's hand as they headed toward the
parking lot. "Come on, darling. Let's forget about the unhappy things and move on with our agenda."
"Where are we going next?"

"We're going to the street race at Easion. I have already signed you up for the match. Today, I'll be your
lucky star."
Street races were typically held by local gangsters, and the racer could choose a person as their
assistant. According to popular belief, the racer would have a higher chance of winning the match if
their assistant was prettier than the rest, hence the term 'lucky star'.
"The street race at Easion?" After hearing his words, Narissa stopped by the car and looked at him. "If
I'm not mistaken, you would have to sign a liability waiver."
As someone who strived for adventure, she would not let this chance slip out of her hand. When she
was 17 years old, she used someone else's ID card and participated in one of these matches. The
match was filled with twists and turns, and it was dangerous. She would have died on the spot if she
had made a single mistake.
In the end, although she won the match, Napoleon found out about it and forbade her from participating
in these illegal matches. However, she was rebellious and continued joining these races in secret. To
avoid getting caught, she deliberately won second place. Now that she thought about it, she missed the
feeling of placing first.
When Jamie saw her expectant look, he knew he had chosen the right gift as a surprise for her. "Yeah.
That is why you have to bring me back safely—I trust you with my life."
"I don't care." Narissa looked away proudly and sat in the passenger seat. "I will leave you on the side
of the track."
Hearing her words, Jamie scrunched up his face and pouted. "I'm risking my life just to make you
happy, darling. Are you sure that you're going to leave me alone?"
"Get in the car. I'll really ditch you if we're late to the match!"
"Alright. Here I come!"
