Chapter 17: Don’t Underestimate Me
Early morning, Charlie manor.
“Buckle up-”
“Who’s there, what’s going on this early in the morning?” Blanche Capra was sound asleep when there was a knock at the door. She was at first prepared to ignore it, but the sound came and went, and had a tendency to play music. She lifted the quilt, couldn’t bear it and finally got up and opened the door.
Soft long hair scattered to the waist, slender hands rubbing a pair of hazel sleep eyes. The slim-fitting nightgown depicted Blanche Capra’s voluptuous figure, reaching down to the base of her thighs and revealing her long, slender legs underneath.
York Charlie originally thought that today was to go to the racing competition, so lively place, anyway, today Blanche Capra is not working, why not take her along with you, just that he also save to find a female companion. So after the maid had prepared breakfast at home, she came over to wake up Blanche Capra in person.
Who knew that when he came, he would see this picture of a beauty waking up for the first time.
“Ahem: that, it’s time to get up. There’s a racing competition today, it’s quite interesting, do you want to go and have some fun together?”
Hearing Blanche Capra’s complaint, York Charlie remembered the purpose of his visit.
A car race?
Blanche Capra’s heart was very happy, maybe in the car race she made a big splash and got a good result someone noticed her, maybe she could use this to reopen her job. The thought of it immediately made her feel less sleepy, and now she could hardly wait to fly to the race with York Charlie.
“Ohhhh, just give me a minute, I’ll be packed in a minute.”
“There’s no rush, take your time.” York Charlie watched Blanche Capra’s movements suddenly speed up as if she was wound up and was amused, no longer able to rush her instead he told her to take her time. He closed the door gentlemanly and returned to the dining room.
“Hoo-”
Blanche Capra looked excited from the moment she arrived at the car racing venue.
“Know how to race cars?” York Charlie couldn’t help but get a chuckle out of watching her look like she was eager to try. “You want to go racing too?”
Blanche Capra raised an eyebrow, “Couldn’t I?”
Blanche Capra looked at the amused look on his face, and then listened to his one mouth full of snark, and knew he didn’t believe a word he was saying. She didn’t really care: York Charlie, wait and see, she’d prove herself when she got to the track. She’d show him that racing wasn’t just for men, but that women could do it too.
So York Charlie quit racing and watched her race. He wanted to see what she could do.
Before the race started Blanche Capra picked a small green Maserati.
“Not a bad choice of car, didn’t just go for the performance of the race car itself, didn’t get carried away by the price and model, but picked a car that suits her very well, that’s rare.” York Charlie secretly sighed in his heart.
“Shhh–”
When the whistle blew, Blanche Capra’s car immediately flew out like a small cannonball, and York Charlie couldn’t help but open his mouth to express his appreciation when he saw the beautiful arc that the car left behind.
“Back, back, back!” After a short while, the crowd began to stir.
A car had come back, so it looked like it was time to set the rankings, and I wondered how the Blanche Capra had done.
“Ahhhhh, looks like Adu is still first this year, look at that Land Rover at the front.”
“Adu, Adu, Adu!”
Adu is a professional racer, and basically comes first every year when he comes over to race, this is something that almost everyone expected.
“Here it comes, here it comes, the car behind! The red Lamborghini is Kevin Lin’s, eh? Who’s that on top of the green Maserati? How come I’ve never seen it before?”
“Oops, I haven’t seen it either. That’s probably this year’s rising star. Maybe he’s a handsome guy again!”
“Handsome? Is that so? Look at that model, why do I think it’s a girl?”
“A girl? No way! In all the years of racing seasons I’ve never seen a girl in the top three places.”
“I don’t know, maybe she’s worked a miracle.”

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, but York Charlie’s attention was now focused on the green Maserati.
It really was a Blanche Capra!
“Who do you think will come second in this red and green?”
“Of course it’s Kevin Lin, he’s a good racer, and he’s still leading that green Maserati!”
“I don’t think so, Xuan Dai. These two cars are quite close, there’s no chance that Maserati will overtake the Lamborghini.”
“Hmph, you watch.”
The more they were about to reach the finish line, the more intense the discussion became, and they even shouted out at the end.
“Lamborghini! Lamborghini!”
“Maserati! Maserati!”
It was surprising to hear that fifty per cent of the people were betting on Blanche Capra to win!
York Charlie was a little surprised, he thought that even a third place would be enough to surprise him with the results Blanche Capra had achieved so far.
Looking at the track again, Blanche Capra has overtaken Kevin Lin’s car in a flash!
Blanche Capra is in second place!
York Charlie thought it was a little unbelievable too: Blanche Capra became the first woman, in so many racing seasons, to make the cut and place! And outdid the crowd, even edging out Kevin Lin for second place!
Switching off the engine, pulling the handbrake, putting it in neutral, unbuckling her seatbelt and opening the door, Blanche Capra stepped out of the car to see a lot of people looking at her incredulously, even York Charlie.
She gave York Charlie a look that said, “I’ll let you underestimate me”, not without a certain amount of amusement, but she smiled at the others with a reserved yet rusty smile.
York Charlie looked at her open and confident smile, saw her trace of his own demonstration. Suddenly there was a flash of God: pride and revealed her incomparable confidence, all this, how like Brandi ah …
“Wow, beautiful, which family’s daughter are you, why haven’t I seen you before?”
“Yeah, right. I’m having a party tomorrow, do you want to come along for the ride?”
Blanche Capra was surrounded by people as soon as she stepped out of the car, and a flood of questions came at her, and for a moment she was a little overwhelmed.
“I …” she was thinking of exactly how to answer when suddenly the crowd was buzzing again, and it turned out to be Kevin Lin, the third place finisher who she had just overtaken, coming over.
“Hi, I’m Kevin Lin, it was great to race with you today. You were great, looking forward to your next performance.”
Kevin Lin’s hand was dry and warm and bony, and Blanche Capra shook it politely but didn’t dwell on it much.
“Thank you, you were wonderful as well.” With a polite reply Blanche Capra wanted to leave, after all, that Kevin Lin was the star that lit up people’s eyes, it would be bad if she stole his thunder again.
“Excuse me, please move over.” Also about to walk out at the same time Blanche Capra realized that the piece she was now standing on was already surrounded by people.
“Ah–” it’s true that accidents are easy to happen in crowded places. Blanche Capra didn’t know who pushed her, and all of a sudden she twisted her foot and fell to the ground.
