In a fit of rage, he shouted, "Get out here!" Sof the other racers spat on the ground in disgust, watching the scene unfold.

"You must think pretty highly of yourself, talking trash about someone's mother, especially one who's deceased, as if your own mother doesn't exist." Allison let her hand fall to her side, giving the man a calm yet piercing look. "Do I need to give you a lesson in respect?" She wasn't one to interfere in other people's problems, but the man had gone too far. He had dragged Kellan's late mother into his vulgar rant, even going as far as spreading fake rumors about her.

"Get lost."
