Chapter 18
“Rumor has it Moonshadow’s racing today.
Can’t wait to see him in action.
Wish I could snag his number after the race.
He seems Like my kind of guy!”
The voice belonged to Sadie, and it made Hannah frown unconsciously.
“Why not ask your brother? Despite his shares not being in the same league as the Mitchell family’s, obtaining a racing driver’s contact information is rather simple,” Eliana suggested, smiling warmly at Declan.
“Declan, any racer you’re rooting for?”
Declan appeared indifferent.
“Doesn’t matter to me.
Though I heard a once top-ranked player is making a comeback today.

“That’s just a publicity stunt…” one of Declan’s friends began, only to stop abruptly, eyes widening.
“Declan, isn’t that your…

Eliana’s eyes darted toward Declan and caught a glimmer of surprise and admiration in his gaze.
She clenched her Lips and etched a deep scratch into her palm with her fingernail.
Quick to mask his emotions, Declan directed a scowl at Hannah.
“You shouldn’t be here.

Lydia chuckled at his words and tossed her eyes dismissively.
“If both the home wrecker and the jerk are allowed, it’s clear the standards here aren’t lofty.
Why shouldn’t regular folks come in for some fun?”
Eliana’s face shifted subtly before she replied calmly, “You’ve got it wrong, Miss Phillips.
Declan’s running the East Coast Racing event.
My curiosity about the sport brought me here.
I just didn’t anticipate Miss Moore tagging along so closely…”
She turned to Hannah, feigning compassion.
“Love can’t be forced.
Since you and Declan are divorced, you might consider forgoing these desperate attempts to recapture his interest.
”
Her words were slick, well-crafted to portray her as if she were Declan’s committed partner, implicitly painting Hannah as shamelessly persistent.
The crowd, mostly celebrities who had followed the story between Declan, Hannah, and Eliana, was well aware of Declan’s historical fondness for Eliana and his reluctance to acknowledge Hannah.
